There is a huge STD problem [in South Africa]. Not in Tantra circles, but in much of the population. This is because of a terrible perversity - "dry sex" for which some studies indicate an over 90% prevalence.

It seems to be an aspirational thing. Buying into the hairless, bloodless, airbrushed and unnaturally perfumed woman that's been sold worldwide by hollywood et al. Obviously such a woman is "pure" and doesn't leak fluids! There's also a suspicion (probably because of all the "sex is the source of disease" propaganda) that the woman's juices are a source of illness. Women do terrible things to themselves to make sure they are nice and dry for their lover, the lovers have been circumcised, so they have little sensitivity. There isn't any way one could arrange better STD transmission.

I proposed a new definition for rape on a local newsgroup - entry without sufficient natural lubrication - didn't go down too well.

Condoms are all very well - but locally, it's almost impossible to get UNlubricated ones. SK21 lubricant (silicone like Q20, tool-in-a-can) has been shown to cause lesions. Now, that's serious for STD transmission risk.

That's the first I've heard about a 'dry sex' epidemic. Whether it's an issue in the US, I don't know, but wherever it exists, it's a perfect example of how unnatural attitudes towards sex, even when 'well-intentioned', do more harm than good.

Sex in its natural (and in this case, lubricated) state is sacred. Anything else to one degree or another profanes it.

Thanks also for the useful info about SK21 condom lubricant.
