Dry sex
Dry Sex
Dry sex (pronounced: /draɪ sɛks/) is a sexual activity that involves sexual acts without the involvement of bodily fluids, particularly vaginal lubrication. This practice is often associated with certain cultural beliefs and practices, and it can have significant health implications.
Etymology
The term "dry sex" is derived from the English words "dry", meaning without moisture, and "sex", referring to sexual activity. It was first used in the late 20th century to describe certain sexual practices prevalent in some cultures.
Related Terms
- Sexual activity: This is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of behaviors and practices that are intended to result in sexual arousal or satisfaction.
- Vaginal lubrication: This is a naturally occurring fluid that helps to reduce friction during sexual intercourse. Lack of this lubrication is what characterizes dry sex.
- Sexual health: This refers to the state of physical, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality. Dry sex can have significant implications for sexual health.
Health Implications
Dry sex can increase the risk of Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) due to the increased likelihood of tears and abrasions in the vaginal tissue. It can also lead to discomfort or pain during sex due to the lack of lubrication.
Cultural Practices
In some cultures, dry sex is practiced as a way to increase male pleasure. This is often achieved through the use of herbs or other substances to dry out the vagina before sex. However, this practice is controversial and is associated with a number of health risks.
