    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.[3] Dry sex is associated with increased
    health risks.

    Removing or preventing vaginal lubrication through practices associated with dry sex increase friction during intercourse, which may be perceived as increased vaginal tightness, and enhanced sexual pleasure for the male
    partner.[4] Some men who insist on dry sex regard wet
    women to be unchaste.[5] Dry sex can be painful for
    men[6][7] and women.[1] Dry sex is common in SubSaharan Africa[1][2] and it has also been reported in
    Suriname among Afro-Surinamese women.[8]

    Health risks

    The practice has been linked to the high incidence of


    HIV/AIDS infection in Sub-Saharan Africa.[1] The practice is regarded as increasing the risk of transmitting
    sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) for both partners,
    including HIV[1][3] in a number of ways. Increased friction during intercourse may cause lacerations in vaginal
    tissue.[9] 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 inammation and/or traumatic
    lesions which in turn may increase the transmission of
    STDs in other ways.
