Will your partner have period sex with you?

Contributor: ToyGurl ToyGurl
I always hate how that one week a month is off limits for sex in my relationship - even with a condom. Now that I got my Mirena IUD, I'm spotting/bleeding almost everyday. My husband hates the idea of having sex when blood is present, but I just don't really care. I don't see why it's such a big deal. What are your thoughts?

I would never do that. That's gross.

I might do it. Depends on how much she's bleeding.

I would do it. Blood isn't a big deal, as long as we use a condom.

I might try it or I have tried it. It depends on how much I'm bleeding.

I would have sex on my period as long as a condom is used. I don't want to get my guy's dick dirty.

My highschool boyfriend was overpoweringly squicked out, and we had to stick to anal during that week. It always made me sad, though, that he felt like "I" wasn't clean enough to have sex with.

I haven't had a partner turn up his nose since the first, though. I always tell them first, something like "so just so you've got advance warning, I'm on my period---but that's not going to get in our way, is it?" the first time with a partner, and then if they were at all unsure they know what the "right" answer is---but if someone was to be really against it (like my high school boyfriend was) he'd still have the opportunity to say no. Although, to be honest, after putting up with no vaginal sex for a week for more than two years in high school---if a guy wasn't down with sex on my period, I would probably find someone else to sleep with. I don't need to put up with someone implying that I'm "dirty."

Luckily everybody but the first one has been more than willing.

I have no problems with it. It's actually my wife that is self-conscious about it despite my reassurances.

I'm in the same boat as Kindred's wife. I'm weirded out by it a bit, and my boyfriend totally doesn't care. He's constantly askin me, "How much are you bleeding? Can we have sex?" I'm like, back off, buddy!

I'm more unsure about it than my boyfriend is! I just don't like getting blood everywhere! But we do it if I'm not bleeding too heavily!

I'm OTR right now. We got it on last night and this morning. We just lay down a maroon king size sheet, folded and a maroon towel over that. If it gets messy, we just get in the shower afterward.

FTR, we find that if he "plugs me up" with a dildo or a penetrative vibrator when going down, there is very little blood and stuff to deal with. Then we keep Eden Wipes on hand, if we're too tired to get into the shower until morning.

I'm always very aroused when I have my period. Last night was freakin amazing! (I think my heart rate hasn't returned to normal yet. ) We stayed where we fell and didn't move until morning, then into the bath and off to the bed to get at it again.

We live together, of course, so he usually knows. But, I always tell him when I'm OTR. (He usually knows anyway. I'm so peachy when I'm on the rag.) It's nice to get a warning. But, he doesn't care. He just wants sex, and so do I.

I did buy some Soft Cup menstrual cups and wore one for the first time yesterday during the day. They say on the package you can wear them during sex. Honestly, I can't see how he'd get in, the things take up a lot of room. I have no idea where his penis would go. And toys? I don't think that would work with the Soft Cup. But, I've heard of people using them.

Doesn't matter to us, we throw a towel down and go on about our business.

I just don't like making a huge mess, but I'll do it. I'm currently pissed off that my period is taking its sweet time getting here and I'm supposed to go see my boy tomorrow. I was hoping it would at least have been going for a few days and have lightened up already. Ugh.

Mine is about to be here now. Thank goodness for anal. My honey will only do anal sex when I am on my period. Makes me so mad! I am horny as hell, when it is that time. Even more than I usually am. Makes me mad that he is ok with running the risk of getting shit on his dick, but not blood. I think blood is less gross than shit.

I'm in the same boat as Kindred. It's not really a big deal to me, but my wife will only let me if she isn't bleeding too much and feeling ok. She always volunteers to take care of me in other ways, though, if she isn't able to have vaginal sex.

WE often do have sex when she is on her period . Usually toward the end when its been a few days(anyone else notice a few days without can feel like weeks?) But we have done it a few times during her lighter days. Oddly enough i will usually really want to go down on her just as her period starts mind you this is usually before ive been told that she is starting.

Well maybe you could let him know that's something you want to try the next time. Let him know that its something you desire and that if either of you dont like it then you could go back to anal. Just my thoughts on it.

My boyfriend does not care about it at all. My previous partners had refused to do anything during that week (I wasn't in to anal at that point) and I just assumed that it was typical. My current boyfriend is the one who suggested it and I was just worried about making a mess. We just avoid the 1st full day because that is when it is the heaviest.

I won't allow any form of vaginal penetration on my period, it's disgusting. I can't stand the smell of it, and I don't expect him to if I can't. I have the cup, anyway. You can't penetrate with it in, but there are other ways to have sex and he's more than willing to oblige me with those. (besides, dry humping like horny teenagers can be fun sometimes)

My man has absolutely NO problem with period sex. I don't always feel up to it, due to physically feeling bad, but when I physically feel up to it, I do exactly what P'Gell does - put down a maroon colored towel and just enjoy!

I personally have no problems with it. I know many women who are a lot more sensitive during their period which can result in a mind blowing orgasm. My hubby on the other hand finds it extremely disgusting and in no way is he going there.

I usually have sex on my period and my partner doesn't mind. Actually I seem to be more horny during my period and sex also alleviates my cramps.

I have an IUD the spotting did let up. My cramps are about the same with my IUD.

SO how does the cup work do you have to empty it out or ... Just wondering.

I don't mind doing it, but my wife won't have it. I really don't understand why. She is really horny leading up to her period, but then she wants nothing to do with it. I just call it extra lubrication. After her 3rd day, we sometimes do it in the shower, but that is it.

The cup has to be emptied every 6-12 hours depending on flow. You take it out, dump it, and then since mine is reusable, I have to wash it with hot water and antibacterial soap then put it back in.

We've had period sex just once: there'd been almost nothing in my menstrual cup that day and since he was leaving town the next, we did it. I was mortified afterward when he was cleaning up and noticed some blood, but he didn't care. The hindrance to period sex will probably be me and my self-awareness.

The cleanup afterwards is more of a bother during that time of the month but other than that, there's little to stop me from engaging on sex with my partner. He's not grossed out by menstrual fluid and neither am I. We tried abstaining from sex for the length of my period when we were together once and it was awful.

Once I get past the pain of my menstrual cramps, I'm good to go!
