I find I get really dry during intercourse even though Im enjoying it and find it really embarrassing.. I know I dont have any STI's or anything so what could be causing this.... Is there anyway to stop this without using the obvious like KY??

can you tell me if my man is gay. he saids he's not and that he loves me, but. A. he love thngs up the back way on him. he gets me to wear a dildo and ride him , or he ask me to use my finger, or to push his penis right back so he is almost ridding himself.He never goes near my breast and yet i get lots of offers from many other men. he not to keen on kissing and will not do long loving kisses just little pecks three times a day. he loves wearing my underwear and is not turned on if i buy sexy underwear and lap dance for him he just wants to get them off so he can wear them and i ride him. he does make me cum some times but that is once a week and by his hand and i have to do him three times a week. i want to love him but i don't think i am his type.we are together six years and both over thirthy he had a bad time during his childhood from his dad and got called a mammy boy and i feel thats whats holding him back. what can i do to help him.
