Just because Aunt Flow is visiting, doesn\u2019t mean the sexy time has to stop. Granted, there are some people that buy into the \u201cew\u201d factor, but you would be surprised how many are cool with it. Let’s look at all the reasons why period sex is great and what you can do to make it easier on the other person if they are on the fence about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

WHY IS PERIOD SEX A GREAT THING?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First and foremost … it’s not as messy as you think.<\/strong> Yes, some women have very heavy flows. But guess what? It’s just blood, it washes off.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More reasons it’s great…<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Hormonal changes make your libido go through the roof<\/li>
  2. Orgasms provide a mood lift<\/li>
  3. Orgasms also help alleviate cramps<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Orgasms may relieve\u00a0menstrual cramps. Menstrual cramps are a result of your uterus contracting to release its lining. When you have an orgasm, the muscles of your uterus also contract. Then they release. That release should bring some relief from period cramps.<\/em><\/p>Healthline<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    1. You need less lube<\/li>
    2. It can shorten your period<\/li>
    3. It can make you feel sexy at a time you usually feel like crap<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      For many people, having sex during their period can be even more pleasurable than at other times of the month. This is because of the changes in\u00a0your libido\u00a0that occur throughout your menstrual cycle as a result of hormonal fluctuations.<\/em><\/p>FloHealth<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

      1. It can add a different dynamic to your sexual repertoire<\/li>
      2. Opening up during a sensitive\u00a0time can create great intimacy<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Let\u2019s also add the fact that every woman\u2019s cycle is different. It would be mad<\/strong> to expect those with longer cycles (sometimes two weeks long) to go without some nookie.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        WHO HAS A PROBLEM WITH PERIOD SEX?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

        For whatever reason, blood from a cut is okay, but people freak out when it\u2019s from a vagina. And, there\u2019s an unfortunate amount of stigma still lingering around the subject \u2013 it wasn\u2019t until the \u201980s did someone actually mention the word \u201cperiod\u201d on a TV commercial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        But, there\u2019s a surprising fact\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Most men don\u2019t care.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        It\u2019s usually us chickies that have the hang-ups. Granted, there are<\/em> people that just don\u2019t like the sight of any<\/em> sort of blood.\u00a0 But everyone else might only need a gentle conversation to pique their interest. And let us not forget that women get men’s “fluids” on us ALL THE TIME.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        NOTE: <\/strong>The average flow is 30-40ml – Heavy flows being over 60ml<\/p>\n\n\n

        HOW TO DEAL WITH PERIOD SEX?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        There are several ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        First, there\u2019s the good ol’ “dark towel you can put across your bed”<\/strong>. I\u2019ve heard some women just leaving it\u00a0in their bedside table to pull out and then tossing it n the hamper right after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Other women go the next step and have a reserved pair of sheets<\/strong> when their monthly friend comes to town. Or you can go even further and use the towel plus sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
