Boy do I have a question for you, Alice. Can you
please explain to me why it is that during so called dry-sex I can
have orgasms easily? I am body-building and working with a
trainer. He suggested that I take "chromate". The daily dose
contains 200 mcg of trivalent chromium from niacin-bound chromium
polynicotinate. Also, I take an herbal water balance formula. My
question is, will these prevent my birth control pills from having
full effectiveness? --Athletic sex
Dear Athletic sex,
Dry-sex, also referred to as dry-humping or frottage, can involve
stimulation of the breast and genitals sufficient enough not only
to cause sexual arousal, but orgasm as well. There can also be a
psychological component of fantasy that happens during a dry-sex
experience which can bring you to orgasm, i.e. the possibility of
what could follow if you took your clothes off. With dry-sex, the
physical stimulation is present without the fear of pregnancy or
sexually transmitted diseases. This can free you from worrying
about these issues and allow you to solely concentrate on the
physical pleasure being experienced.
Chromium is a mineral which serves to maintain the normal glucose
uptake into your body cells. Chromium deficiency can lead to
impaired clearance of glucose in the bloodstream, or in elevated
cholesterol levels. As chromium is a mineral it should not have an
impact on the effectiveness of your birth control pills, nor
should the herbal water balance formula. However, you should make
it a rule to clear any new medications or treatments with your
gynecologist, who is familiar with your medical history, to insure
compatibility and maximum effectiveness of the pill.
