Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. It can be due to infection, improper foreplay, dehydration, age, and hormonal imbalance. You can try the natural way by increasing foreplay. It can cause lubrication, or you can use lubricants KY Gel (Propylene glycol, sorbitol, and Nasotrol). Injury due to dryness due to deep penetration in a few positions during sex. Vaginismus, fear during sex causes muscles in the genital to contract and cause pain to both partners need to increase foreplay duration to reduce fear and bring comfortability. Yes, you can use lubrication as a temporary solution. Concentrate more on foreplay.
