Does being dry mean you're not turned on?

DEAR DASD: Here's the most important thing for you to know: Your wetness is not a foolproof indicator of your arousal level. Wetness actually says very little about how turned on you are in the moment. As you've experienced many times, female-bodied folks can be completely turned on but still remain totally dry.

Sex should be fun, but it can also be complicated. Welcome to Sexual Resolution, a biweekly column by sex therapist Vanessa Marin that answers all your most confidential questions to help you achieve the healthy, safe, and joyful sex life that you deserve. In this column, she answers a question from a reader who has difficulty with natural lubrication. DEAR VANESSA: I have major problems with wetness. I'm super attracted to my boyfriend and enjoy having sex with him, but I never, ever get wet. I feel the desire for sex, but nothing happens. He thinks it's because he's doing something wrong, but everything feels good and I want it. We've also experimented a lot in the bedroom, but nothing seems to help get me more wet. I'm always dry. What's wrong with me? What do we need to be doing? - Dry as a Desert, 22 DEAR DASD: Here’s the most important thing for you to know: Your wetness is not a foolproof indicator of your arousal level. Wetness actually says very little about how turned on you are in the moment. As you’ve experienced many times, female-bodied folks can be completely turned on but still remain totally dry. They can also find themselves feeling wet without feeling mentally interested in sex. For the record, it’s the same with male-bodied folks. Your boyfriend’s erection is not a foolproof indicator of his arousal level, either. Male-bodied people can struggle to get erections even when they want to have sex, and they can also get erections at the worst possible times, when sex is the last thing on their minds. The idea of your genitals and your mind operating separately from each other is a concept called genital non-concordance. (If you’re interested in learning more about non-concordance, I highly recommend checking out Emily Nagoski’s amazing book, Come as You Are.) As an extreme example of genital non-concordance, we can look at the reactions of sexual assault survivors. While being abused, women can get wet, men can get erections, and many people even orgasm. The fact that their body responded does not mean that the survivor wanted to be abused, nor does it mean that they enjoyed the abuse. It only means that their bodies had a non-concordant reaction to their desires and boundaries. I talk about this reaction a lot with the survivors I work with because they often feel deeply confused about why their bodies reacted — most people don’t know that non-concordance is a thing.
