It certainly could be related to your degree of lubrication, which is certainly tied to arousal-to a degree. In other words, the reaction to excitement can be varied and at times, even with arousal, the lubrication may not be enough. I would try to use a lubricant such as astroglide. If this does not seem to help, I would suggest having an exam. There are certainly other things that can cause these symptoms, even an infection...
