Having sex while on your period can trigger amazing sensations (even more awesome than usual, believe it or not). If you can ignore the cultural taboos, a week will open up for you that is normally characterized by ice cream and a stomach ache. If you and your partner aren't impressed by the “mess” that a lot of people are dealing with, follow these tips for having sex during your period. This way you learn to enjoy yourself to the maximum and to keep the mess to a minimum.

To step

Method 1 of 3: Mess-free sex

1. Grab some towels. You don't want your period fluid (along with everything else) to soak up the sheets and mattress. So put some towels under you and keep some tissues next to you. The towels have a day job; you can use the tissues to wipe yourself when you get up (when the job is done).
   • If the smell bother you, don't let it ruin the moment. Use the blankets to block the smell.
2. Stick to the missionary position. Lie on your back to reduce blood flow during sex.
   • Also be careful with deep penetration because your cervix is ​​slightly lower during your period and can also be more sensitive. Let your partner know if you are in pain and proceed with caution.
3. Pretty in the shower. Not only is this cleaner from the start, but it also offers a nice variety. The flowing water also ensures that the other flow is less noticeable. If the two of you can easily fit in the shower together, try having sex in the shower (if you haven't already!).
4. Avoid grabbing hands. Unless your partner is getting a kick out of the endometrium, it is probably wise not to start walking down there. However, if you're the type who needs a lot of foreplay then you're in luck. You already have a natural lubricant. Your partner's fingers (or whatever) are off today.
   • This doesn't mean you can skip foreplay altogether. No, no no - that's ridiculous! Just use it as an excuse to experiment with new tricks.
5. Stick to less severe days. This is common sense. If you know that days 3-5 are less intense than days 1 and 2, just keep your underwear on for 48 hours. Let the tension build and avoid unnecessary use of the washing machine.
   • If it doesn't bother your partner at all on day 1, ask yourself how bad you feel about it. Maybe it's something you too can get over - after all, it's no less hygienic than what you were already doing. Only slightly redder!
6. Shower afterwards. Chances are that at least something got on your skin.If you haven't had sex in the shower, pop under it quickly to rinse it off. You will feel a lot better.
   • If you have used any toys, clean them immediately. Postponing this leads to, how to say, a less elegant experience. In short, clean everything as soon as possible.

Method 2 of 3: Stay clean and healthy

1. Use a contraceptive. You run a higher risk of STIs and pelvic infections during menstruation. While you are less likely to get pregnant, it is by no means impossible. So if you saw your period as a license, you're out of luck - you should have safe sex now too. Below a number of options:
   • A diaphragm has a dual effect as it both prevents pregnancy and restricts the flow of menstrual fluid. Some pessaries can be felt during sex, and removing them can be messy. However, they are usually easy to use because your gynecologist will choose a diaphragm that is perfectly adjusted to your measurements.
   • Vaginal sponges are foam rubber devices soaked in spermicide. They are inserted into the vagina during sex. They can help prevent pregnancy and have the beneficial side effect of absorbing blood. They just do not prevent STDs.
   • Male condoms help prevent pregnancy, fight STIs and keep blood from getting on your partner's penis.
   • Female condoms also help prevent contact between your blood and your partner. It is also a good way to prevent pregnancy, although they are not quite as efficient as male condoms are. You can make a female condom more effective by applying a spermicide to the closed part of the condom before inserting it into your vagina.
2. Use a menstrual cup to keep your menstrual fluid in the vagina. Use a menstrual cup for sex without intercourse. Wear a soft cup in case of penetration.
   • Avoid using normal menstrual cups during penetration. They are not intended for this and are likely to leak. However, if you just want to mess around, these cups can help prevent leaks and allow you to have mess-free (including oral) fun. Avoid rubber cups because the rubber smell and taste in your vaginal fluid is not pleasant for your partner. Prefer to use a silicone cup.
   • Soft cups are specifically designed for use during intercourse. They have the same shape as a diaphragm, are very flexible and are available at most drugstores / pharmacies. Keep in mind that you can have sex with a soft cup, but that it will not work as a contraceptive.
3. Know that sperm will live for up to 72 hours. So those are three days where those little boys can do whatever they want. So if you decide to take the chance and have unsafe sex where you let your partner cum inside you, now you know what can happen in your body. If your period is over tomorrow and the risk of pregnancy is therefore minimal, you should realize that the risk is still there.

Method 3 of 3: Convince your partner

1. Discuss it in advance. Not everyone is crazy about menstrual sex. So don't try to have sex during your period without your partner knowing about it. You can be faced with unwanted surprises. Just like your partner! Rather discuss it in advance and find out what your partner thinks about it. He probably has an opinion about it!
   • Some religions and cultures consider sex during periods inappropriate. While there are no scientific principles to support these ideas, you should respect what your partner has to say about them.
2. Reap the benefits. Sex during your period is completely understandable, if you look at it the right way. Many women are a lot more hot during this period, which can make the sex even better. In fact, it's also good for your period.
   • Having sex during your period shortens the duration of your period! The contraction of the muscles during orgasms causes everything to be expelled from your body faster (instead of magically disappearing). Your period may be a bit more intense, but it will last less long.
   • Your cramps will be less severe. An orgasm is the body's own version of a natural pain reliever. It's a rush that wipes out all of our aches and pains and engulfs our feel-good receptors in the brain. So if you run out of paracetamol, get under the sheets soon!
3. Be self-assured. Your period and your vagina are absolutely not dirty or dirty. Having sex during your period is not weird, strange, unsanitary or unsafe. It's all in your head, so don't worry too much!
   • If you both enjoy it (and you certainly will) then what's the problem? It can be a bit uncomfortable at first, but after a few minutes you don't even think about it. What am I saying, maybe not after a few seconds!
4. Be resourceful. Sex is usually described as actual penetration, but there are a lot of other ways that sexual games can satisfy both partners. Even if he or you would rather not have sexual intercourse during your period. Take this opportunity to discuss new ideas.

Tips

• Make sure you trust your partner. Period sex is something you only want to do with someone you love.
• Talk to your doctor about the pill. Certain types of oral contraceptives allow women to increase the time between periods. Do not skip a pill, otherwise you will need an extra contraceptive to be sure. However, these pills can also make it more difficult to find out if you are pregnant.
• Relatively safe! Because your cervix opens during menstruation, you are more susceptible to STDs, bacteria and pregnancy. Menstrual fluid contains bacteria that can be harmful to your partner.
• The man should wash too! Intercourse with someone who has their period also increases the risk of infection in men.

Warnings

• If you feel a sharp pain in your stomach, it could be that your partner is penetrating you too deeply. It may hit your cervix as it is slightly lower during menstruation. If you feel good enough to move on, try a different position. Also ask your partner to be careful.
