No Sex During Your Period

I've heard that you shouldn't have sex during your period and then I have heard there is no reason not to. Just curious how many of you do and don't

As long as my flow isn't heavy, I do

I don't. Personally it's gross to me. I have heard that there's in increased risk of infection during that time, but I'm not sure how true it is.

I have sex on my period. I'm not gonna miss out on a whole week every month! My flow is really light now anyways, thanks to my pills. It's usually just enough to add a pink tinge to my lubrication, so it doesn't get messy. Even when it is heavier and you can see some actual blood we still do it. My boyfriend is a big wimp when it comes to blood though, so he makes me grab a wipe and clean him up afterwards and tries not to look at it.

Yes. My partner and I are perfectly fine with period sex. If anything, he's probably more comfortable with the idea than I am. I've gotten oral during this time of the month too. I'm super thankful that my partners aren't squeamish or icked out by my bodily fluids.

No way I could do it while on it.

We only do anal, he refuses to have vaginal sex when I am on my period. I would love to, helps with the cramps.

We have once or twice in the shower but usually just wait.

Usually not as my wife has to have oral sex to orgasm. However, she will occasionally give me a handjob or blowjob or every once and a while we'll have anal sex.

I just move my play into the shower that takes care of the mess.

As long as I'm not in pain and my partner doesn't mind, I have no problem with it. More often than not, I am in too much pain, though.

i'm fine with it, and he is occasionally fine with it... but not usually. he was more fine with it when we first started dating, now i think the excitement of it has worn off and he's just grossed out.

No, I don't. I wouldn't feel comfortable with that. I feel to gross down there on my period I wouldn't want him anywhere near it.

I do have sex during my period, I have a wet wash cloth handy and we usually use a throe. I find myself very horny during my period and sex also helps alleviate my cramps.
I find that period sex gets things moving faster, an overall plus for me.
Sometimes my bf will use a condom which also lessens cleanup, if we are in a hurry.

We tend to have sex in the shower during that time. He isn't grossed out, but it just makes clean up a ton easier. It really does help with the cramps. We usually have more anal sex during that time too!

I've wondered that about the throe, if it would stain from menstrual blood. Or do you have a color that wouldn't show it anyway?

I've never heard it's bad for your or anything more of a taboo vs actual health thing

There is no medical or health reasons not to. I get migraines and cramps and find if I can get some sex asap, the pain is relieved some.

We always have sex when I have my period. I'm not going to miss out on literally months of sex (all together) a year just because of a little uterine shedding. My Man isn't bothered by it at all.

We just put down either a maroon sheet doubled over or a Liberator Throe and a maroon towel over it and go for it.

...I haven't. I don't know that I would, because I feel disgusting when I'm having my period and wouldn't necessarily want someone else to see why I feel disgusting.

I kind of feel empowered when I'm menstruating. I don't feel it's "disgusting" at all. It's what a pre-menopausal woman's body does!

Although I often feel tired and achy, I know my ability to menstruate is related to my awesome power as a woman as well as my ability (if I choose) to bring life into the world. IMO, there's nothing disgusting about that.

Happily for both of us, My Man feels exactly the same way.

I don't put up the "Closed For Business" sign when menstruating but sometimes it's hard to get into the mood when I'm feeling bloated and crampy. It all depends on how I feel, sometimes orgasm actually makes me cramp worse

If my guys are feeling like it and I am not cramping or otherwise mean as home made sin then sure I will...we just make sure there's a clear path to the shower and a few towels or a throe handy.

I find that I cramp less and am less sore internally when I have sex or masturbate during my period. I am also much more sensitive in some areas so that adds to the fun. My partner and I have communicated that some days/times I may be revved and craving sex or I may be completely turned off of the idea so we have to play it day by day.
