Is My Vaginal Canal Too Short for Sex?

Hi Betty,

Whenever I have sex and my partner thrusts, I experience pain as though he has reached the end of my vaginal canal and is maybe hitting my cervix. I'd rather sex not be inhibited by asking him to just do shallow thrusts. Do you have any idea why I am experiencing this pain? It really ruins the fun of the session for me.

Dear TW,

Never Been Wet

Dear Dr. Betty,

I am a 25 year old girl who is in a new relationship. For the most part I am pretty healthy although I do smoke cigarettes. I am very turned on my my new boyfriend and we have hours of foreplay before sex. I can't get wet. I have never ever been able to get wet. I have had 7 partners and not one time have I ever gotten wet. I am very embarrassed about this problem.

I Have a White/Light Yellow Discharge But No Itching

Dear Dr. Betty,

I have had a weird white/ light yellow pudding-like discharge accompanied by an unpleasant smell - I can't describe it except nauseating - on and off for over a year. I have no itching burning etc. Sometimes when I'm on the toilet I can actually hear it coming out of me. What do you think this is? Are there o.t.c. Remedies (I have no insurance)?

Thanks. J

Can Using Oil Based Lubricant Cause Bacterial Infections?

Hello, Betty,

I've watched many of your videos with Carlin where you recommend using sweet almond massage oil as sexual lubricant, both on the vulva and inside of the vagina. I agree with you that most water-based lubes have way too many chemicals in them and that natural is best (as the almond oil is 100% natural), but I have read in so many places that you are never supposed to use oil or any oil-based lube in the vagina as it can cause bacterial infections. What is your take on this? Thanks.

Dear S,

Do All Women's Vaginas Pulse During Orgasm?

Dear Dr. Betty,

My wife is a big fan of the Hitachi Magic Wand (thanks to you). After a warm up period with the wand, I am lucky to be able to pleasure her with a large dildo. (How I wish I was that big!) This is a guaranteed orgasm for her - never fails. I really love this ritual as it allows me to enjoy her visually - there is nothing quite so powerful as watching a woman you love enjoying an orgasm. She always takes the dildo out when she reaches orgasm and her vagina pulses repeatedly. It is truly the most powerful thing I have ever seen and I can't get enough of it.

Worried About How I Smell Between My Legs

So I am 15 years old and there is this guy at school that I have a thing with. I am a freshman and he is a sophomore, and he is experienced, but I have barely had any experience. I have never given a blow job. I have never been fingered or even touched down there (except for when I touch myself heehee).

I Just Can't Get Wet During Sex

Dear Dr. Betty,

I'm 17 and I masturbate almost every other day or so. I have had sex 6 times with my boyfriend. No matter what I try or what he tries, I just can't get wet. It's not that I can't turn myself on or that he can't, I would always feel hot but that is it.
