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.
The concept of the practice is that a dry vagina makes the vagina tight, which is supposed to increase sexual pleasure for the man. Some men who insist on dry sex regard "wet" women to be unchaste. However, dry sex is very painful for the woman. Dry sex is common in Sub-Saharan Africa and it has also been reported in Suriname among Afro-Surinamese women.
Health risks
The practice has been linked to the high incidence of HIV/AIDS infection in Sub-Saharan Africa. The practice is regarded as increasing the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted diseases ( STDs ) for both partners, including HIV in a number of ways. For example, the lack of lubrication causes lacerations in vaginal tissue, which increases the risk of HIV transmission . Drying the vagina also removes the natural antiseptic lactobacilli which can combat sexually transmitted diseases. Furthermore, dry sex increases the risk that a condom will break because of the increased friction. It may also result in vaginal inflammation and/or traumatic lesions which in turn may increase the transmission of STDs in other ways.
