What Should You Do When Your Condom Gets Dry During Sex?

You are driving high in passion, your erotic juices overflows and suddenly condom goes dry… your intensity of passion turns into dryness of frustration, you might wonder, what to do when my condom goes dry in the midst of intense sexual activity?

If you are new or less experienced condom user, then this is a common concern that you should be aware of. Even though you both may indulge in lovemaking with equal amount of energy and passion, still condom dryness can be really frustrating. Knowing how to make your condom from dry to wet and keep yourself ready for longer lasting action can be of great help.

Whatever may be the brand of condom that you use, it comes pre-lubricated. Some may have lesser quantity of lubrication that other, but all condoms come with pre-lubrication. Using additional and compatible personal lubricant can make your experience enjoyable and more natural. Adding more lubrication can also be more pleasurable for your partner as sliding in and out becomes silky smooth without any pain or discomfort due to friction.

Types of Pre-lubrication

Condoms come with two types of lubrication, namely

-          Water based lubrication

-          Silicone based lubrication

Water based lubricant – It consists of water particles. So, when the condom is in action, the lube is exposed to air and little amount of heat generated through friction. Then the water particles in the lubricant begins to evaporate and thus it becomes dry faster. You can compare it with saliva, which is somewhat similar to water based lubricant.

Silicone based lubricant – It is proven that silicone-based lubricants have a longer lasting effect as it doesn’t contain any water particles in it. Thus, it won’t dry out as quickly compared to a water based lube.

In some cases, you stumble upon a condom that has both lubes, water based and silicone based. One is on the inside of the condom, and the other is on the outside.

What should you know about natural lubrication?

Condom going dry is a normal and natural phenomenon. It eventually happens even to a well lubricated condom when you both are involving in a longer than usual time in bed. Your partner’s natural lubrication plays an important in condom dryness. Natural vaginal secretion varies from woman to woman. If your partner is not secreting enough natural lubrication, that may play an important role in condom dryness. You need to have a bottle of personal lube when you know that your partner is not gushing out sufficient amount of natural lubrication, otherwise if might interrupt the heat of the moment leading to frustration.

Condoms are compatible with natural lubrication. Better the natural lubrication, better it is for the condom. So, when you know that your partner is not lubricating enough naturally, then you should always keep a lubrication by your side and apply it abundantly over your condom to ensure it doesn’t go dry.

Even otherwise, it is wise to add additional lubrication to your condom to ensure you both enjoy a silky smooth and painless coital experience.
