Dry sex is the sexual practice of having sexual intercourse without vaginal lubrication. Vaginal lubrication can be removed by using herbal aphrodisiacs, household detergents, antiseptics, [ 1 ] by wiping out the vagina, [ 2 ] or by placing leaves in the vagina [ 2 ] besides other methods. Removing or preventing vaginal lubrication through practices associated with dry sex increases friction during intercourse, which may be perceived as increased vaginal tightness, and some believe enhance sexual pleasure for the male partner.
Increased friction during intercourse can cause lacerations in vaginal tissue. Furthermore, dry sex increases the risk that a condom will break because of the increased friction.
