Dry Sex

Dry sex is a sexual practice of people having sexual intercourse with the woman not having vaginal lubrication. Vaginal lubrication can be removed by using herbal aphrodisiacs, household detergents, antiseptics, by wiping out the vagina, or by placing leaves in the vagina besides other methods.

Removing or preventing vaginal lubrication through practices associated with dry sex increase friction during intercourse, which may be perceived as increased vaginal tightness, and enhanced sexual pleasure for the male partner. Some men who insist on dry sex regard "wet" women to be unchaste. However, dry sex is very painful for women. Dry sex is common in Sub-Saharan Africa and it has also been reported in Suriname among Afro-Surinamese women.
