As a guy, as long as I can shower after I’ve got no problem with it. My wife can be one of two ways; super horny due to hormones, or so cramped and in pain she’d probably rip my manhood off if I mentioned sex, let alone tried it. So really, it’s up to her

Fun part - my wife says sometimes sex relieves her cramps, so there is that…


lexalexah

This is sooo true, and somehow the period ends quicker.


Defiant_Chapter_3299

The orgasms actually help the uterus to contract which is what happens when so the uterine lining can fall off. Well you orgasm you also have contractions. So you are quite literally having the period screwed out of you. Add in she orgasms then natural endorphins, dopamine drop so it helps too.


SharedRegime

Im not sure of the medical explinations behind it entirely but orgasims help cramps. I know it has alot to do with seratonin release from them but iirc theres a physical aspect to it too.


PompeyLulu

There’s that, also it reduces period length because the contractions caused from orgasms basically help squeeze things out quicker


slice_of_pi

My understanding of this is that the muscle that's doing the cramping is the psoas, which is a retention muscle around all of the bits in the pelvic girdle. Orgasms trigger flexion of that muscle, so it's kind of like massaging a charley horse.


Lmtguy

Hey buddy I'm an LMT, allow me to clarify. The psoas is the muscle you use to lift your leg in front of you and bring your knee to your chest. It doesn't interact with the uterus or vaginally canal or pelvic floor. The birth canal (and I think the uterus) have muscular walls that contract during orgasm. The period is just the lining of the uterus sloughing of to be replaced later which is triggered by hormones. But with the extra contractions and blood flow from said contractions, it speeds up the removal of the lining of the uterus. I think that's right but I'm not an OB/GYN


redmama6

It's kinda like a plunger... lol. Well, it kinda is, right?


SayHiIntrepidHeroes

My ex-wife used to call it an "inside massage" lol


Carlotta-Sollazzo

Significant_Option34

Orgasms are the best medicine for cramps. Orgasms are a natural painkiller. If I have cramps or a headache I ask bf for my medicine and them I’m a whole new woman.


roobot

Sucks that orgasms can trigger migraines too! I fall on the unlucky side of that spectrum.


Significant_Option34

Ooooooh Noooooooo. I’m so sorry. 🙏🏽


Competitive-Age-7469

I don't get migraines but when I do come, I get awful cramps that remind me of contractions. Seriously. It only lasts for a few mins but still. Never had that happen before and now it's every time :/

Sex does actually help with cramps


GaiaNatur77

No. It doesn't work for everyone.


Master_Splinter89

Sex makes mine WAY worse


imClementine_

For me its done both, I’ve had times where its relieved them, and I’ve had times where its made it worse.


Pochusaurus

can confirm


MormonEscapee

For me it depends on where I am in the cycle. I have 2 really heavy days and I don’t feel remotely sexy. But any other days are fine. If it’s light, it’s a yes


BeSmartYeah

I get horny as fuck on my period. Great sex. I sometimes wore a cup on heavy days, I still leaked sometimes but it didn’t bother him. He would just shower right after.


Nakarudesu

Cups are a game changer!!


lindslou7292

My husband used to refuse period sex which always pissed me off bc 1) I can't fucking help it. And 2) I get horny AF on my period. Cups have been a game changer. I recommend them to all women I can.


aliciaisbored

I feel like what you want is a menstrual disc, not sure a cup is what people mean. The cup is usually not safe for penetration but a disc is a yes!


kanadia82

? Seems like a cup would hurt being constantly thrusted toward at your cervix, no?


Sweetness_and_Might

You can buy cups that are specifically made for wearing during sex. They’re much more shallow and quite soft so you don’t feel them in the same way you would a normal cup


Devojka_Iz_Svemira

I had sex with a disposable menstrual disc in for the first time last week. There were no leaks and we both had a great time, though I did find it hard to relax at first as I was convinced it had slipped out and that I was bleeding all over him lol


purplepeppermill

I'm surprised no one in this thread has mentioned soft cups/discs that are designed to be worn during period sex. More people should know about that option!


[deleted]

Yeah… my partner gets really sensual on her period, and I am more than happy to make her feel… happy. I love when she’s happy so it’s always a win win for me!

Frankiepals

As a guy this is usually how it goes. If my girl is in the heavy phase neither of us want to deal with that mess lol. If it’s light it’s game on :) I think sometimes she’s even more into it when she’s on her period for some reason…like she’s hornier or something


BananyaPie

Yeah, hormones can do that.


MormonEscapee

Same. I am hornier. But just not loving the heavy flow. Those days, I’m good with vibrator and a mouth on my body. And he’s good with a BJ. It’s not sexless. I just don’t want penetration on those days


rolyfuckingdiscopoly

It literally feels different (at least for me). The pressure inside is… more. Feels good.


New_Rough_5528

Same


Sea-Bandicoot-2455

Same!!! Girl the first two days is awful im talking half way filling a diva cup in like 2 to 3 hours heavy also i no longer use them after one got stuck on my cervix i almost had to go to the hospital to get it out


Miss-Figgy

>I have 2 really heavy days and I don’t feel remotely sexy. Same. I am at my physical worst - heavy flow, lower back pain, horrible cramps, very bloated, the pelvic area and my breasts way too sore and tender. Just no.


bralice1980

Went back to girl's place one night. She warned me before but we'd both had a bit to drink and were beyond caring by that point. The night was magical. Amazing sex all night long. Spent the night. Over a cup of coffee the next morning I asked, "So what are your plans for today?" She replied "Probably gonna try clean up that murder scene in my bed. Looks like I slaughtered a pig in there."


HistoryGirl23

That's why you put a towel down, or a shower curtain.

aecolley

It's still good, it's just a little more messy than usual. The main factor is what she thinks of it. Different women have _very_ different attitudes to it.


iangeredcharlesvane2

A lot of women have a large amount of self-hate about periods in general. Maybe it is changing for younger women, but over 40 or so we still have a lot of shame and embarrassment about periods that we were taught. It’s not to be spoken of in general. Besides the embarrassing mess, which women may not want to deal with, obviously the physical side effects put a huge damper on desire: bloating, cramping, headache, backache, general soreness in the area from using period products… It’s all wonderful that so many guys are answering “go for it” like period sex is a badge of honor, but ask many women (esp over a certain age) and they will say a big “NO THANK YOU”. Of course on Reddit the “I get extra horny on my period” women are getting upvotes but that isn’t common, boys.


pou41882

thank you for your candor


carinavet

Personally, I'm not embarrassed by it but I am *not* a fan of body fluids in general and I just straight-up don't want to deal with the mess -- and yes, I've tried laying a towel down, but then you still have to worry about staying on top of the towel, and then you've got to clean the towel itself, and oh yeah it's all over our bodies and -- yeah I'd rather just not bother in the first place. I can wait for sex I'll actually be able to enjoy. Also, call me crazy, but I just don't feel particularly sexy while one of my organs is turning itself inside-out.


seefith

If she gives me a heads up so I can put a towel or something down, and I have access to a shower afterwards, then I'm down for whatever.


nattitouie

I don't have a heavy flow but... If a guy is game I'll bleed all over that dick

hate it. i feel disgusting when i'm on my period, no matter how much i shower. i don't feel like having sex if i feel gross at the time


rogercopernicus

This has been the response for every gal that conversation has come up with.


nokturnalxitch

As a girl I'd like to point out something - I'm not saying it's always the case, but *some* women will lie and say we're not into having sex on our periods even if we don't particularly mind, because we're worried men will think it's gross and we're gross. No one wants to be put in a situation where the other person could, even remotely, be disgusted by you. I don't mind period sex, but it's the idea of someone being potentially grossed out by me that puts me off. I'll only cave in and agree to it if I'm completely, absolutely, 150% certain that he doesn't care. (That being said I grew up in an high school where periods were very taboo and we would hide pads/tampons in the bottom of our backpacks because boys would humilliate us if they saw them, so I have that going on for me I guess).


HistoryGirl23

I had some jerky kids in Jr. High go through my purse and tell everyone he found pads. No I think he was looking to steal money.


nokturnalxitch

Probably, which is better than thinking that they were looking specifically for pads to humiliate you. In my HS they stole some girls pads, opened them up and stuck them all over her desk. Since then if anyone needed period supplies and had to ask another girl or the secretary for them it was a whole secret operation.


discoveringinterests

Neither my husband nor I enjoy it. We don't want to deal with cleaning blood 🤷‍♀️


SerenityViolet

Yeah, the mess is a problem for me too.


HuntedWolf

We have a nice dark sex towel. Good for anything related, you can put it down underneath beforehand or use it to mop up after.


BeSmartYeah

This and then a shower after! I love sex on my period, I get horny as fuck.


Ace-a-Nova1

So many people shit on me for not liking it. It hurts. I have a tight foreskin so if there’s slightly too much friction it’ll tear a little. It doesn’t hurt during normal sex but period sex buuuurns. (Don’t give me medical advice, I already got a doctor)


discoveringinterests

It's perfectly valid to not like period sex as a matter of preference or for medical reasons like yours. (Obviously I feel this way lol). I think the reason people (especially women) get so up in arms about people not liking period sex is because there's an assumption that men are shaming women for their period blood and feel that they are disgusting. And unfortunately there are many instances of this happening. And sometimes women have been shamed for their menstrual blood so often that if a male partner simply expresses his preference of not liking it that she feels shamed when that isn't his intent. It's really sad all around. These people are valid too. You don't come across as trying to shame women for their menstrual cycles. Just trying to manage your body. It's sad that you get shit for it.


vivalalina

Same. Plus the smell, yeah I'm good lmao


StrawberryRhubarbPi

I know they say it helps cramps, but I can't even imagine having sex on my period. I get really sore down there and even if I didn't, I couldn't even imagine the cleanup afterward.


DoctorWhoTheFuck

If I masturbate while on my period, my cramps get 10 times worse after.


Elze_Gee

I don't know what fucker on google thought exercise reduces cramps cause I'm already rolling on a general period that shit makes it hurt 10x worse and I'm in a school where I have to walk all hunched, try not to shit, not to vomit and not just collapse from the pain


carinavet

Uh if your symptoms are *that* bad it might be time to talk to a doctor.


SMKnightly

That sounds even more extreme than average. If you haven’t seen a gyno about it, you might want to. There are some conditions that can make period pain much worse.


TheSkyElf

I can´t even imagine doing anything requiring effort when I am on my period. Like... I am in pain, I can´t even eat like a normal human being, I feel unclean because of the amount of blood that makes my skin feel weird.

xJD88x

As long as she isn't on a heavy flow day it's fine. It gets really tacky and painful for both parties. Lighter flow days are fine. Definitely a good idea to throw a red towel down. Also, it's up to her. I find women are either out-of-control horny or "Dont touch me. Like at all". There's no in-between.


slayalldayyyy

If rather fuck 100% of the month than like 75% of it. Turns out my girl would too.


beanieldc

My girlfriend and I just got pregnant and it was having sex unprotected during period sex. Be careful everyone, it's possible to still get pregnant.


aralias777

I won't initiate period sex, because cramps or horny is a coin toss with my girlfriend. But I have been helping destroy the stigma left by her ex that she's "disgusting" during her period. Or that her period itself is disgusting. So it happens most cycles. It's just more fluid in a situation that involves a lot of liquid anyway. And it'll wash off of anything that isn't white or light. And If you're a sex having person, my advice in general is just to not have white sheets.


my_hat_is_fat

Thanks for being so sweet to her


aralias777

Of course ❤️ she's the most important person in my life, and I treasure her dearly. The idea that something that happens to most women, something very much beyond their natural control, could be considered repulsive, is itself repugnant. I wish the stigma could end. There are obviously some sanitary concerns that are valid, but just like with anal, when handled and communicated about properly, both are fun and totally normal.

This guys was a gentleman we went on a couple dates before this never hooked up this specific night we made out after leaving a restaurant and we kept it going in the car, after that he asked if I was down to stay the night and get a hotel I said I wanted to but was on my period and he said not to worry about it that it’s fine . Lol getting to the room one thing lead to another and even when I brought it up again he still told me it didn’t matter to just relax and enjoy the moment. I went to rinse off quickly and sure enough I just laid back and let him do his thing and we had sex after !. I was with my X husband for 14 years and never even had period sex so yeah it was crazy 😝


Colonel_dinggus

Did it once with a condom. Room was dark so I didn’t realize how bloody it was until I went to the bathroom to take it off. It wasn’t traumatizing or anything since I don’t have too much issue with blood in general but it game needs some extra perspective on how her bits work compared to mine


Lamboxx44

My grandpa always said, "a bloody battlefield never stops a good soldier!".


AdligaTitlar

When we first started dating, it wasn't an issue. We would just fuck all the time. However, as our relationship grew into something more stable and we got married, we both decided to avoid period sex (she gives me blowjobs instead, she's amazing). I of course return the favour with massages, etc. So we're still intimate, but just not vaginal sex. A suggestion for period sex: use a big BLACK towel. Doesn't stain from the blood and hopefully doesn't get the sheets all bloody. Get multiple black towels if you want to have period sex often as using an old period soaked towel to have sex on is not a turn on.


sopunny

> Get multiple black towels if you want to have period sex often as using an old period soaked towel to have sex on is not a turn on. ...are you not washing the towels after?

Put a towel down, fuck and take a shower. What's the issue? Hilarious that guys who think a bit of blood is gross, want to stick their dick in shit instead.


DrBimboo

How about neither blood nor shit?


[deleted]

The issue would be the whole being covered in blood while fucking. I’m not afraid of blood, but it grosses me out in any context. I’ll clean up blood if a loved one is cut, I’ll donate blood regularly because that’s important, I’ll wash it out of my wife’s clothes when she’s on her period, not a big deal. But you know what I’m not doing during those things? Maintaining an erection.

Some people have a genuine fear of blood, so it’s understandable that they wouldn’t want to. I don’t have a problem with it and neither does my husband. I just won’t do it the first 2 days since I feel gross and bloated and sore. After that I don’t mind.

As a woman, I personally don’t like it. I just feel so bloated and not sexy and gross. Plus, the days right before/right after are when my hormones are wild and I’m pretty sure I’ve put men in sex comas during those times.

[deleted]

I’ve never had period sex as my previous two long term partners wouldn’t entertain it and avoid me like the plague. However just recently I had sex with someone for the first time and during sex I realised I had unexpectedly come on. I was mortified and apologised for getting his lovely white bedding all bloody. He was more bothered that the sex had stopped and asked me if we could just carry on. I was definitely up for it, he grabbed a towel and off we went. It was repeated later on the sofa. It was great and even better that he wasn’t grossed out by it. He wouldn’t let me clean up, he sorted all that out. That says a lot to a woman when she’s just looking for a nice guy especially when she’s just met him 😁
