Vaginal dryness: can't get wet and i'm only 26

I don't get aroused easily and can barely get an orgasm. I enjoy it but less and less since I'm always so dry I get hurt. The vaginal lips will bloat when I get aroused but I barely get wet and it doesn't get better. I can go for one round, I'm too dry after and no amount of foreplay will get me there, not even masturbation. And I ALWAYS have some kind of tear tissue in the area, either right below the vagina entrance, at the entrance or both. and next day feels uncomfortable.

I wasn't like that till my 23rd bday and I can't find what's wrong. I'm also prone to yeast infection (like white cheesy discharge, no odor and lots of itching)
Is there a solution besides lubricant?

I don't really know if you are still on this site considering it is 2 years after this post.
But after reading your post I was wondering if you could give me advice from a guys point of view.
My boyfriend and I are 25 and have been together for 3 years now. Through this time we have had our ups and downs with sex. ( he could have sex once and week and be fine) I have tried sex clothes and go out of my way ever other day to shave everything and be "presentable" I wanted to know if you have any advice about what I could possible do to get him more in the mood. If I start going down on him or anything like that he just wants to start having sex and that's kinda uncomfortable for me. I have told him this before but when it's happening I guess he just forgets. For the past year now I have had trouble getting wet and I think this is part of the reason other than we don't really have a sex life. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

hey I do get wet easily and aroused before sex but in the process I go dry completely leading to a very painful sex. my last experience my partner got bruises and I had a very sore vagina and it was not rough sex. I'm a very active type but this has made so uncomfortable to have sex again. any help please am currently 23yrs, in a very serious relationship but scared of having sex....

I'm a 17 year old girl and I've just started being sexually active. The first two times I've had sex with my boyfriend were great n I got wet very easily. I've just ended my period n its been a week now, my vigina is dry sore and itchy, I treat it with natural remedies sleep with an ice pack between my legs because this helps cool down and I've stopped wearing underwear however I remain dry and I'm getting worried. I've only had sex twice and both times used protection. I've done some research but can't find any solutions, how do I get back to been ng able to naturally lubricate?

To the 17 year old girl you may be allergic to condoms try sherp skin ones or change other. Protection

I am a 32 year old woman that seems to be turned on ALL DAY. The problem I'm experiencing is I am always dry unless we have a really good foreplay before hand. I know women that experience orgasms on a regular basis from foreplay as well as intercourse. It makes me question myself and think something is wrong with me. It has been this was my entire life. Even on the rare occasions that I orgasm from oral sex, I experience dryness 15 minutes into the actual act of sex. Please help!!!
