Period sex

[34and3]

Is it ever ok?! My husband and I have never tried. It's never even been discussed properly as just assumed it's a firm no and that he'd be totally turned off. Also worried I'd be really embarrassed and feel unsexy. How do others get past it as it's a shame that's otherwise 5 days a month without.

Dark towel on the bed so no blood on the sheets. Then carry on as normal. A little less hand action from him to me, but everything else the same. He doesn't mind at all, which is quite refreshing. My ex was a firm no. Which was fine of course, because he didn't want to.

I felt a little embarrassed at first, of getting blood on him, etc, but he doesn't mind at all.

I try and avoid it at least for the first three days as I bleed very heavily and am normally in pain. The last few days when there's a bit of light blood doesn't bother me. We have done it before when I've been bleeding heavily and I've been horny. I went on top so the blood went on his his stomach. Sounds gross but it's easier to clean him rather than it all over the sheets and he wasn't bothered by it.

My partner doesn't mind and it's good for getting rid of period pains.
I'm also so horny when it's that time of the month so I'm always up for it 🤷‍♀️

It’s always ok if you and he want to. My DH used to be anti. We discussed it and he was squeamish but had a go and now isn’t. I’m normally up for it then too.

In my experience it's not as messy as might be imagined, particularly towards the end and it's only another body fluid. Not sure why you wouldn't in a relationship

We’ve not tried it purely because I don’t feel like doing fuck all when I’m on my period.

I am perimenopausal and my HRT bleeds are very erratic, and I'm in a new relationship with a guy I can only see at certain times due to all our other commitments, so it's horrible to not be able to have sec if we want to. And period sex is messy and a bit embarrassing with my hot new bloke!!

I've discovered menstrual discs! 👍 They're designed to catch blood like a mooncup but they're flatter and the man can't feel them. I have a Lumma disc - reusable, comes in 3 sizes, doesn't form a suction seal so is easy to remove, and really doesn't leak during sex. Today is day 2 for me and we DTD this morning with me on top - I got just as wet as usual and there was absolutely no red/pink stains on the sheet Totally recommend

The ziggy cup is good at collecting blood but he's likely to feel it so best to be upfront not about it.

I found that menstrual sponges were brilliant for sex on my period. Very absorbent and environmentally friendly and most blokes didn't even notice!

Gynotex sponges from Amazon are great.

Oh, why didn't I notice this last week! Similar situation to pinkcheesy and came on the day I was about to see him - remembered about sponges and discs but too late by that point. We just got on with it (and he went down on me which was the first time that had happened) but for the future it would be nice to be less messy.

Any other recommendations?

I’m hornier when on, so we just put a dark towel down first. My partner doesn’t care at all and loves giving me oral too. We just have a shower after.

Beppy tampons are really good....they're a large oval shaped sponge that you insert. You can have sex with no mess. They're tricky to remove though, you may need DH to help!

Did this last night & DH loved it! It really turned him on.
I surprised him, as he wasn't expecting sex & got a sex towel out !
