Title: Arousal & mouth dryness
Post by: orrla on September 06, 2019, 08:53:19 PM

Hi Ladies!

Something weird happened to my mouth after intercourse I had after long while.

My gums and tongue and all there down to my throat went very very dry. At first I thought it was thirst, but because I was bit dry down there, I think it could be conected..  Never experiences such feeling of dryness before. Is this common?

Can I do something about it?

I'm not sure I completely understand your description, but could it have been because you were breathing a lot through your mouth.  If I do that for a while I'll get a very dry mouth and throat.

It is probably a side effect of sex.

Hi,

Well, I never had this before. It was odd, and felt as if my gums and rest there were covered with something. I did not think of it as dryness at first, only later realised that this what it could be .. similar to vaginal one? Saw somewhere that dry mouth occurs in states of arrousal..

It looks to me now as one of these lovely surprises that my ageing body keeps coming up with, but not a sign of anything fatal  ???
