Periods

[yellowduck]

Is it possible to have sex when you're having a period? If so, how?

[K99]

Yes, but I would put a towel down first as it can get messy!

[smudge]

It would all depend on how heavy your periods are of course! It sounds a repulsive thng to do, but some females are at their peak at this time of the month!

[madham]

It is, but I would suggest the male wear a condom to avoid the Mr Bobbit look!!!!

[DonnaT]

Well, of course you can! It helps immensely if you're open-minded, have a sense of humor about bodily functions and are not easily squicked out by messes, but there's absolutely no reason not to. I heartily agree with the towel suggestion, but wearing a condom only for that reason is just silly and unnecessary.

1) Why on earth not? 2) Exactly the same way as when you're not!

It is a bit gross especially if ur on ur heaviest day, but I think it's actually better! All that mess adds to it! (Did I REALLY just say that?!) And you can have the fun of a shower straight after together! I wouldn't recommend oral though (again, did I REALLY just say that!!)

[boognish76]

Don't forget to take your tampon out first! DON'T let your boyfriend remove it as they tend to think they're starting a lawnmower.

I always feel like it but then start and regret it cos it's so messy. All that blood sloshing around means there's less sensation for me.

[smudge]

Me thinks enough said!

[jills]

no reason not too, and I do feel quite horny at that time. Also, if you have a light flow, or are on one of your non-heavy days, your man can do some clitoral oral, just best to have a wash first perhaps and avoid delving too deep!!

[BenDToy]

jills even I would draw the line at that.

You could always "go brown"?

[tracymort]

lol sft42! Yes of course you can have sex then. In fact it helps with period pains.

[christina801]

Its possible, but gross.

If you usually use condoms then you still need to use them if you have sex during a period, because a) you can still catch and pass on sexually transmitted diseases and b) i believe there's still a small chance you could get pregnant even if you are on a period.
