Your Question:
Dear Experts,
During arousal, I get extremely wet. Does the amount of vaginal lubrication vary much between girls?

The Answer:
Dear it_goes_untold,
Yes. Some girls have more vaginal lubrication than others, and that's normal. During arousal, blood flow increases to the genitals so that the clitoris swells and the vagina lubricates itself, which is called "getting wet."
A number of things can affect the amount of lubrication a woman's vagina produces, such as her level of arousal, hormonal changes that happen during her menstrual cycle, and the use of certain medications.
Hope this information helps!
Take care,
