Do you guys dare to go there? My S.O. won’t even touch me during my period. He thinks it’s gross and he will wait until it is way, way over to do the wild thing. DO you use towels to prevent bed stainage? Do you use a condom so you don’t get, um, blood inside you, and so it isn’t bloody on your penis? Do you ladies not like your men to have sex with you when you’re on your period?
Doper girl here:
I’ve had SOs who would not go there, icky, yucky, you’re diseased at this time of the month, and I’ve had SOs who didn’t mind what ever I was doing as long as I was willing. I would put down a towel or we’d do it in the shower. Sometimes I get very emotional and my body aches and I don’t want anything touched no matter how gently. Other times, I want it bad and I want it now and then I want it again.
Ask and you may or may not receive. I, of course, want to feel beautiful and desireable no matter what my uterus is doing.
I have done it and its not my preferred thing. It moves sex right to the middle of the take it or leave it line. I do think it is a little icky and wouldn’t make a habit of it. It should be reserved for desperate times.
Can girls answer?
I don’t like sex during my period. Yes, it is icky and gross. I can wait four days, and I’m fairly highly sexed. Not Anastaseon, but still.
Strangely enough, my SO has less problems with it than I do.
There’s no non-TMI way to answer this, so…
…once you’ve had your tounge in certain other orifices, her other body fluids aren’t that big of a deal.
I’ve had two girlfriends in my life who told me that their sex drives were highest at that time of the month. I never had a problem dealing with this, although I had no interest in oral sex under those conditions (which was fine with them).
We always took precautions, like placing ‘protection’ underneath.
Exactly. No big deal to me, The wife usually isn’t in the mood, but when she is, I’ve got no problems with it. Put down a towel and go to town! 
I wasn’t going to answer, not being a guy and all, but since other girls have answered I will now officially dispense my two cents.
I’ve only had two frequent sexual partners so far. One didn’t want to have sex while I had my period, but wasn’t totally squicked out, I think just a little uncomfortable. He was only too happy to play once the flow slowed to a trickle. I have a pretty heavy flow for the first two days or so and I think the amount of blood that wound up… everywhere was disturbing for him. And I can’t really say I blame him. I didn’t mind. I have a fairly high sex drive but can be content with my own stimulation in the shower for a few days.
The second one really didn’t care in the slightest. It just flat-out didn’t bother him. Get a towel, and get on with it! He claimed not to even be fussed about performing oral sex during my period though I never let him do that. That squicked ME out. I kept saying 'No! You know you don’t HAVE to do things you don’t want to do, or even pretend you want to do them… you can’t possibly want to do that… ’ Later on, I figured out through knowing him better, it wasn’t that he wanted to do it, he was trying to let me know that he WOULD have done it had I wanted him to. I think he must have been secretly glad I didn’t want him to.
But it legitimately made no difference to him having regular sex during a period.

Neither my husband nor I are all that thrilled about sex during my period. Contrary to what I’ve always read, orgasms don’t seem to help my cramps, plus I’m feeling bloated, my intestines just do not cooperate that whole week, and cleaning off is annoying. We’ve done it before, sure, but I know I’m really hard-pressed to feel sexy during that time.
The girls always have far more issue with it than I do; it’s never bothered me in the slightest.
Most of the girls I’ve been in that situation with were really grossed out by it and it wasn’t an option, but there were a few who were more willing, including one that insisted on being the first to give me a set of “red wings” when she discovered I’d never “earned” a pair before. Whatever they preferred was okay by me, I never tried to change their minds about it.
As to the other questions: in the shower or over a towel are the standard precautions taken. I’d only use a condom if they were used under normal circumstances, but not solely as a means to keep blood off my pecker.
Another girl chiming in…
As someone who has had irregular periods, the “event” has cropped up unexpectedly more than once. I’m not freaked out by it, though I don’t like to be “gone down on” during. That being said, every guy I’ve been with, when it’s come up, has said (rather breathily, since I have bad timing for the announcement) that it doesn’t bother them. And, as far as I’m concerned, it shouldn’t. Who cares, you can always shower.
It never bothered me. Periods are no impediment if a lady is in the mood. 
If you sit in a tub of water for a few minutes (about 5 or so ) , it will stop the flow for about 30 minutes. I know it’s true because I’ve done this about 5 or 6 times.
I’m pretty icked out by it. As a rule, I try to avoid getting other people’s blood on me if I can help it. So far it only caused a problem with one of my sexual partners.
My first two were also icked out by it, so no problem there, but my third was most “in the mood” during it. I usually didn’t do it, but a few times I did, 'cause I have a giving nature. I did not enjoy it. One of the times I was so icked by it that I couldn’t finish. And I was wearing a condom, too.
I’ve no problems with it or doing it.
Sex? With my wife? Ever?
Oh, come on! If my wife ever wanted to “put out”, why would I need the endless series of concubines that are required to satisfy me?
Shit! If my wife didn’t want a second child, I would have forgotten that shaved at all!
GREAT CESARS GHOST!
(Honestly, who has sex with thier wives anymore?)
What she said. 
You know, I actually remember being told this during sex ed back in the early ‘80s! :eek: All the girls went off with the home ec teacher to learn about our periods, and we were encouraged to write anonymous questions on slips of paper that she would read. I remember that someone asked about having your period (i.e., bleeding) in the tub, and the teacher said it wouldn’t happen. She said it also wouldn’t happen if we were swimming, or in the ocean, or in any body of water. Can’t for the life of me remember why, and it could still be an old wives’ tale, but I do remember hearing it.
23 y/o male chiming here: I’m single now, but have had two sexual relationships both of which were long term. I have never done the deed while my partner at the time was on the rag. Both girls absolutely refused to ever go that far during thier periods. I wasn’t exactly begging them to do otherwise. However, if I was ever in a relationship with a dame who wanted in during here period, then I would comply. I always wear a condom anyway, so that wouldn’t change.
I’m a guy, and it does not bother me at all. Instead of putting down a towel, my SO and I just put down a plastic bag and throw it away when we are done.
I love every part of my girlfriend, and why should a little more of her bother me ?
Even though I don’t like it myself, I am pleased to hear of all the guys who don’t mind. Not that I think you’re horrible if you do, either! Some people have open minds about different things, and that’s cool.
