Why can't I lubricate?

I'm only 18 years old. I had a boyfriend for the last year and a little ago we had intercourse for the first time. I love him and feel really atracted to him. We've always been really open-minded and were never afraid to speak about our desires. But when it got the time, i was completely dry. It hurt me a lot and i asked him to slow down. Was really embarassing and sad. I couldn't help crying when i left. I don't wanna screw our relationship. He's respectful, loving, caring. I trust him and love him a lot, and i'm really afraid that i may repeat my mom's story: She couldn't lubricate eather. I have to add that i was a virgin, which scares me even more. I don't have anyone to talk about this objectively, and i'd love to have a response about how i could make this better.
Desperately, Me.
