You can read about it here from Yahoo and more detailed results of a so-called "orgasm survey" on this site, too. Please take it with a grain of salt and remind yourselves that orgasm is NOT everything and that perhaps we would be better suited to celebrate pleasure, enhancement, contentment, cuddling and connection than just orgasms. Not that orgasms aren’t great, but I sometimes worry that we place a bit too much pressure on them and some people feel insecure about their orgasms. So try to take it with fun, if possible. And if you have questions about orgasm or anything else sexuality or relationship related, please send me an email to drdebby@mysexprofessor.com or through the Kinsey Confidential web site. And to be in the spirit of things, I’ll go ahead and wish you the happiest, loveliest National Orgasm Day wheresoever you find yourself in the world (and with or without orgasm).

Yes, it is absolutely possible! One can be allergic - or hypersensitive - to a partner’s semen. Learn more about it by listening to our Kinsey Confidential podcast.

The question was:
"When I have sex and my boyfriend ejaculates inside me, I get a bad burning feeling in my vagina. Assuming we’re STI-free, could I be allergic to his semen?"

Question: 
Are there any tricks or methods, etc…. that can aid or assist in maintaining or extending the amount of time that a female is wet?  Is there a specific length of time that female can be wet?  Is this an individual thing?  When she is "dry" is feels as if the her vagina is smaller/tighter (not sure if this is possible) or if her arousal "loosens" up the muscles within the vagina and allows for "easier access".  Any thoughts?

Answer:
1) Generally, it is only excitement that extends natural vaginal lubrication, but sometimes even if a woman is super excited she may have reached her personal level of wetness for the day (there is only so much wetness to go around and yes it is individual). Other things can make a woman feel more dry, too, like if she is stressed, if she just had a warm bath or shower, or if she is taking certain medication (some birth control pills - probably particularly low estrogen pills - and antihistamines may be related to less vagina lubrication).
2) Not a specific length of time that I have ever seen.
3) Yes, dryness = more friction so things feel tighter. Wetness = more slippery, less friction, so things feel looser. Kind of like greasing a ring to take it off of a finger - neither the ring nor the finger change size, but it feels looser/comes off quicker. It is also the case that there might be some true difference you are detecting in that if a woman is super aroused, she is likely lubricating quite a bit (very wet) AND, as part of the arousal process, her vagina is probably tenting, which means that it is getting longer and wider, thus making room for penetration.
 
Oh, the wonders of arousal.
 
If you’re in a too-dry situation, you can add lube. If you’re in a too-wet situation, you can use a nearby towel or the sheets to dry things off a bit (you and her). Hope this helps

Well, sort of. Check out this scary article about a 5 year old boy who left day care (on his own/unsupervised), crossed a busy street and then wound up coloring at Hooters. Oh, my.
