Default Sex during Menstrual Period

Is it a good thing to have sex during menstruation?

It's really just a matter of personal preference.

There's nothing wrong or weird about you if you don't mind doing it during a woman's period, nor is there anything wrong or weird about you if you do mind.

For some women, a period can be a very uncomfortable and even painful time. And yet other women can have revved libidoes during that time. For others, intercourse and orgasm may help the pain and cramps - and for others - not so much. For some that 'time of the month' makes them feel bloated, out of sorts, tired, and unattractive. So, it really depends a lot upon how the woman feels during her cycle.

I used to have relatively comfortable, light periods and it was easy to engage in intercourse during them, but then I hit my 40's and the flood gates opened so to speak and there's a lot of cramping now, so it is not so comfortable during anymore. So, comfort level can even change over time in the same individual.

And there are a lot of ways to have sex that don't involve PIV, and many of those ways are fun to explore during that time if both feel up to it.

Some people refer to it as doing the backstroke.

We don't care if I'm on my period, except for the first day when it's just too messy.

Get a dark towel and have fun!

Dark towels. That brings back memories. Nowadays I don't care much one way or the other. If she's in the mood regardless of time of month, I'm game. But when I was younger, I used to really enjoy making it with a girl in her period. Messy as heck, but that was part of the fun. But of course, that girl was a bit unique in that she did enjoy it during her period; most of my experience has been that women generally don't like to go there. And yes cramps do affect the mood a lot. My ex used to have to take Advil for a day or two during this time. Definitely no one size fits all...

I've done it before and had no problem with it. It eased my cramps. Plus it's extra lube!

I will do it but w a condom. I'm not a fan of blood. Lol. If my period is really heavy, I don't want to.Women are hornier during their period and that's a biological fact.

My husband and i have done it on my period, although not in a long long time. I wasnt opposed to it. But the first time he suggested it I was like "you wanna do what on my what? Weirdo."

Definitely wasn't bad sex, just remember the towel.

Yep! I didn't even know I had a line, but that's most definitely it!
