No problems with it here. My husband doesn’t mind at all. I don’t usually feel like it but just because I’m cramping and sick feeling. I can’t recall a boyfriend who wouldn’t do both either. What’s the big deal? I’ll go wash up prior to the act just to feel a little “fresher”, however.
Since I chimmed in on this http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=77888 thread, you know I’d be lying if I said I’ve ever had sex during my period.
However, I can’t imagine wanting to. I realize that through some preversity of Mother Nature many women are more um, didn’t somone say “frisky?” during their periods, but cramps and bloating… I have trouble picturing wanting to be touched while in pain. Does the severity of one’s discomfort play into this a lot? Because I’m guessing that if one has bad periods too, their sign would be more likely to say “keep your hands off me” too.
Of course, mom also says " If you let a man make love to you during your period once, it’s harder for him to figure out and accept why you won’t let him during your worst months." She gives all sorts of advice, anyone need any?
I don’t see what the big deal is. My last long term girlfriend was quite relaxed about sex during her period, so we did it a few times. Her only request was for “a towel you don’t like much. Cause it’s gonna get stained.” It never bothered me at all.
By all means, proceed. I learned long ago that the only think you can’t wash off is a tattoo, so go for it. Doing the traditional rumpy-pumpy is easy enough, and you get a distinctly different sensation, much more fluid (duh). Just lay down a towel, and have the washcloth ready. For oral sex–lore has it one of the prerequisites of membership in the Hell’s Angels was to eat your bitch out during her period, thereby earning your blood wings–all you gotta do is wash and/or douche well before you start, and as many have said, keep your attention to the magic button. No problem.
The two guys with whom I had long-term intimate relationships while I was still menstruating preferred to wait until I was finished until we resumed vaginal intercourse.
I agreed wholeheartedly, because the whole menstruation thing really grossed me out as well. I no longer menstruate, thank God, so it’s not an issue anymore.
I used to LOVE it when the wife was riding the Cotton Pony!
She was always hornier than usual… and she’s always horny.
She said it made her cramps feel so much better. (We’d joke about having sex to knock some stuff loose in there.
What’s the big deal? I’m pretty sure I can washed up afterwords. I’m not waterproof, afterall!
and it fel different. Sort of like a different type of wet. Mmmmm I loved it.
I haven’t expereienced it in sometime now that she has no uterus.
I can’t think of any past SOs that didn’t want to do it while “Aunt Flo” was visiting. My current SO and I usually hop in the shower so we don’t make a mess.
As long as he/she doesn’t have a problem with it, neither do I.
