Where Do You Stand? Sex on Your Period

While it's true that our periods can be a total drag — mood swings, pimples, and cramps — I've heard women say they get extra horny during their time of the month — perhaps it's all those hormones pumping through their veins! Sure, it can be messy, and many men get grossed out by the idea of getting it on when Aunt Flo's in town, but tell me, where do you stand on having sex when you're on your period?

    I dunno...I can't.
    I will at the VERY beginning when there's barely anything (with a condom of course). And maybe at the end with a condom again...

    I'm fine with it but I'm also on a really strong BC pill (b/c I get cysts) and have a super light period for only 3 days. My boyfriend wouldn't care even if it was heavy, as long as we used a condom.

    i really like having sex during my period because i'm usually much more sensitive and it feels extra good Smiling plus, it helps me not get cramps as badly. but my boyfriend isn't as into it, so i'll have to work on that...it's like, hey we swap all kinds of fluids so what's wrong with a little blood? lol

    My husband doesn't mind AT ALL, which is great, but I still feel kinda weird about it.

    I get pretty horny but my boyfriend wants nothing to do with it. It grosses him out, which I can understand, but it just sucks cuz I rarely get horny thanks to my BP. *sigh*

    I have done it. But No I don't really enjoy it.
    I get my butt all dirty full of blood and sometimes my covers get dirty even if I place a towel on it. lol.

    I don't like it. My bf is fine with it but I generally say no, unless it's the last day.

    I'm with you Pixiedust, sometimes I like it even more. My ex didn't care at all. I hope I find someone else who doesn't care too, that would really eff it up! lol

    As long as I'm not in serious pain and preparations are made, I'm good with it and so is my fellow.

    Uggh.... I don't think I could get past the idea... I don't think I would be appealing to any of the 5 sense... I think I look weird, gross and bloody... I feel all crampy... I bet I smell ...and on top of that I just complain about everything else I feel while on my period. Its just not a fun time.. I just want to be left alone for one week in the month and not have to worry about being seductive.

    And even that's rare. I feel gross when I'm menstruating.

    I'm with Jude C--the worst part is the clean-up. Otherwise I love the heightened sensitivity.

    I second that, Krradford. Plus it's not just blood you're swapping...it's also mucus, clots, uteral lining...ugh, not comfortable with the idea. Plus I'm anything but horny during my period.

    Doesn't bother me or my guy. Which, weirdly, I sort of respect him for. I like that he's not bothered by something that's natural and not anything I can help happening.

    my ex used to refuse to even sleep with me when i was on my period...no cuddling just in case. the first time i told my new guy, i told him because he really enjoys going down on me, and i didn't want to freak him out. he didn't eat me out, but he didn't care at all. i really like the extra sensitivity, and yes i get extra horny on my period. i often wonder if it is just because you are so wet down there that time of the month

    Of course, we've done it and it's alright for me and fiancee.
    Only after the 2nd day tho' LOL Laughing out loud The first 2 days usually equal cramps and excessive flow. After that, it's all good.

    My husband is fine with it, but I prefer to put a tampon in and have oral sex instead.

    Sex is the absolute LAST thing I want to do when I'm on my period.

    I don't particularly enjoy it (worrying about the mess makes it hard to relax - I'm always wondering if I'm on the towel); but the way our schedules are lately, we don't get to have sex very often so I can't let my period stand in the way!

    I had a boyfriend once who, when greeted with the fact that I had my period, thought for a minute and said "Oh, you can go down on me, then." Epic FAIL. And I did NOT give him the proper "bish plz" look that he deserved. Really wish I had.

    Nope, I meant me. My husband loves it because I'm so sensitive at that time. Well, he really loves giving it all the time, actually!
