does anyone else actually "want it" during menstruation

[abitembarrassedtoask]

i'm just over 40 and a namechanger...cos this is a bit embarrassing.does anyone else actually feel they want sex when on their periods....wondering if i'm nearing the change or something cos this has been a fairly recent thing.i did actually also feel like it alot more during my pregnancies.anyone else like me or am i a bit odd?

[AnarchyAunt]

Why wouldn't I?

Its only blood.

[ssd]

no thanks

[Lauriefairycake]

the increased blood flow to the area increases the likelihood of horniness (supposedly)

never enough for me to be bothered with the faff though

[expatinscotland]

no.

i just don't have much sensitivity down there during that time of the month and my body is ultra-sensitive. it can actually be a bit uncomfortable during that time.

as a result, my libido drops to nill during that time of the month.

[bigTillyMint]

I am always right up for it the day or two before I come on

[nappyaddict]

YES

[mrsmaidamess]

Ohhh, there was a thread about this a while back. I was roundly hounded out of town by declaring NEVER in a month of Sundays. would I let my old man near me nethers. The Mess!!

Someone on here has a special towel, just for that reason.

You know who you are!!

[nappyaddict]

Only in the shower though.

[IwishIwasmoreorganised]

Just before yes, but during no!

My sex drive (what little I have!) disappears while I have my period and also while I'm pg, and pretty much while I'm bf too! Poor DH - we have 2 ds'2 under 3.5 who have both been bf for 8+ months!

[servalanempressoftheuniverse]

yep, just put a towel down!! I have always been pretty up for it around then...

[beanieb]

yes - I feel extra horny when I have my period but we don't have sex then because i don't like the mess it creats and I can't be arsed with the washing it would take!

[Jazzicatz]

Does it not bothers your partners?????

[AnarchyAunt]

Why would it bother DP???

I am a woman. He knew that when he met me. If men are bothered by it they really should reflect on why the normal physiology of women bothers him.

[abitembarrassedtoask]

no...my hubbie doesn't worry about it at all.i too sometimes do it in the shower to save the mess though.

[expatinscotland]

I had a boyfriend who used to badger me for sex during my period.

I just don't want it then! Not the mess factor, but I just have no libido then and it sort of hurts.

I got sick of his horndog bullshit and dumped him.

[Lauriefairycake]

I guess it would bother a gay man - but they are unlikely to be shagging a woman

[OsmosisBanana]

Hmm, I get horny but it grosses both of us out. The mess that is.

However, did get my period on day 1 of our honeymoon... and it then didn't stop for 10 weeks so we kinda had to get over it!

Think maybe we're both a bit traumatised from it tbh

[abitembarrassedtoask]

i must admit,i do remember years and years ago with an ex he too didn't mind at all having sex when I was "on".Think I was far more bothered about it then.As I said,now I seem to want it more than ever!

[nappyaddict]

My ex didn't like it because of the mess.

[OsmosisBanana]

lol at horndog.

[abitembarrassedtoask]

anarchyaunt,are you as "old"(?!)as me?

[abitembarrassedtoask]

and you Nappyaddict?

[lulabellarama]

Yes, I am often up for it at that time of the month. And it really doesn't make any mess, you don't actually lose that much blood during menstruation.

[expatinscotland]

he made such an issue out of it, Osmosis.

he just didn't seem to hear me when i said, 'no, because i don't want it and it sort of hurts during that time of the month for me.'

he got all sulky and kept bringing it up.

so i told him to go tell it to the hand, his right one, and take his horndog self the hell away from me.

[nailpolish]

omg yes

do it in the shower if you dont like the mess
