1) SHE MIGHT GET PREGNANT
A woman can still get pregnant if they have $3x while on their p3riod. Some p3riods last more than a week and sometimes a woman’s 0vul@tion can overlap with m3nstru@tion.On top of that, $p3rm can live for 3 to 5 days. If they’re on b1rth control and taking it as directed (including during their placebo week), they should be fine—but if they aren’t, don’t chance it without another form of protection.
A man would also need a form of barrier protection if they don’t know your partner’s STD status. Because the c3rvix is more open during this time of month (which allows the blood to pass), men have a slightly higher risk of infection from exposure to a $3xually tr@nsmitted disease during unprotected $3x, Ford says.
2) LADIES HAVE GOT OPTIONS
If they’re not into interc0urse during their p3riod, there’s no reason they can’t still enjoy other $3xual encounters (mess free!).They can wear a tamp0n and the focus can be on the cl1toris, and they can still help their partner 0rgasm with manual or 0ral st1mulati0n
3) WOMEN CAN MINIMISE THE MESS
Wearing a m3nstrual cup or a female c0nd0m can help reduce the amount of blood that might come out during int3rc0urse.
If they’re not comfortable using one of them, even a regular c0nd0m can make cleanup easier—for your partner, at least. Having $3x in the m1ssi0nary position, with the woman on her back, can also limit blood flow (thanks, gravity!), as can having $3x toward the end of your p3riod, when your flow is lighter
4)SOME MEN LIKE IT TOO
Women shouldn’t assume their partner will be disinterested by their p3riod. In fact, it’s often the person who’s m3nstruat1ng who puts a stop to l0ve m@king, not her other half. Every couple is different, and some people will be more open to it than others.
If you’re curious what your partner might think, however, don’t spring it on him or her in the heat of the moment—bring it up before things get h0t and heavy. Good communication can lead to great l0ve m@king at any time during the month
5) DOCTORS ARE ALWAYS OK WITH IT!!IT’S FINE
According to medics, If the patient is comfortable with it, then it’s great to continue m@king l0ve throughout the month and not have to take a break. It’s perfectly natural and safe for both partners.
To avoid stained sheets, it is recommended putting a towel down on the bed, or getting busy in the shower. And don’t be concerned if you see dark red or brown clumps during or after $3x; that’s just older blood and cells of her ut3rine lining, and it’s perfectly normal
6) SOME WOMEN LIKE IT..A LOT
Ar0us@l is different for every woman, and some may be too distracted by their p3riod and its annoyances to actually get in the mood for l0ve m@king.
But for others, m3nstru@ation could actually be a turn-on of sorts. That’s because her 3strogen and t3stosterone are low on day 1, but they start to rise by day 3. Some women report they feel more ar0used and more sensitive around this time.
Plus, her flow can serve as extra lubr1c@tion during l0ve m@king, which can also increase pl3asure. If you typically use a store-bought lubr1cant to help with dryness during l0ve m@king, this may be her week to go natural. And some research suggests that org@sms can even relieve m3nstru@l cramping and PMS.
