Anybody else experiencing dryness down there, even when extremely turned on?

Drink Water and use a lube

I was wondering if it was an issue of not drinking enough

It can be, think about it... my dr told me that when you a are consuming enough fluids it effect that part of your body also. So there you have it. DRINK

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for posting this topic! I didn't know how I was going to bring this subject up. But it all makes sense now. I can't believe I couldn't figure that one out myself. I'm always saying "I have to drink more fluids"! At least I know it's something that I can take care of easily. Thanks again ladies!

I have answer for you because I went to a gyn.

Back when I was obese, even post menopause I had lots of moisture down there. That is because all that fat generates estrogen - which is probably why obese women have higher breast cancer rates.

Once I got close to my goal weight, it became dry and no amount of drinking Water helped....

The only solution is to use lubricant, or to root cause fix it is to take hormone suppositories. My problem became bad enough i noticed it when riding bike, horseback riding etc... just more delicate when it gets dried out.

If you are having this problem and are not menopausal, I wonder if you are moving toward perimenoupausal (ie pre menopause). If that isn't the case, well, then I don't know the answer, but bottom line is...

fat girls make more wet then skinny girls.

Cowgirljane has it exactly right! Lube is a small price to pay for being confident enough to get it on without being self conscious!

There are creams but I would start with your Obgyn and encourage your partner to just spend a little more time with four play! HAha

On theDr.s show the GYN that is on there said to use organic coconut oil. She said it doesn't break down like regular lubes do.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
