> [@CairoCarol](#): > > When I was a lass, I was extra horny during my period and I’ve heard that is quite common. Though from an evolutionary standpoint it seems quite weird - you _should_ be maximally horny around ovulation, no? Only if you think sex is for procreation. Mostly, sex is about companionship and bonding a couple so that when a sprog appears, there are two adults willing to put in the work of keeping it alive together. Romantic, eh? ---

Question: What are these “alternatives” I hear of? I’m not going down on her or fingering…that’s worse than sex… ---

I was kinda grossed out by it and she sighed and said “I hope you’re not one of _those_ guys…” > > I still bonked her and the sex itself was fine, but of course, there was a giant blood stain on my sheets.

Having sex during my period helps the cramping sometimes. Sometimes I’m horny and sometimes I feel very ‘if you touch me I will throw up b/c I’m having a full body migraine’. Luckily, The Fella is a trooper either way! 😉 ---

I have a rhyme for this situation. “Put a towel down, and go to town!” I probably stole it from somewhere. ---

Now if you’re really phobic about the idea of blood, that probably still wouldn’t do it for you, but it greatly reduces the mess potential. \*I have no experience of the style of cup you can have penetrative sex with, but one could do the other stuff with a diva cup in place. ---
