I'm experiencing some issues with lubrication during sex, and it's started just in the last 15 days. My partner and I got married 6 months ago, and everything was fine until recently. It's a bit worrying, and I'm not sure what might be causing it or how to fix it. Could there be any specific reasons for this change, or should we try something specific to help?

It's common to experience lubrication issues due to stress, hormonal changes, or other factors. I recommend trying water-based lubricants for comfort and discussing this with your doctor to rule out any underlying causes, like hormonal imbalances or dryness. Open communication with your partner can also help reduce stress during intimacy.
