Brief Answer:
Increase foreplay duration

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns about intercourse with lubricant.

Following is my reply:

1) Coconut oil is contaminated and hence possible that it is killing some sperms.

2) Use KY Jelly as lubricant.

3) Increase the time of foreplay which will make lubrication from vagina to increase and it will be easier for you both to have sexual intercourse without lubricants naturally.

4) Have sexual intercourse between 12th 17th ay of cycle when egg release occurs.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol.
