I can honestly say I’ve never ever had willful period sex in my whole life and I do not feel like I’m missing out on much. I’ve done it when I’ve been due to come on and have been met an instead bloody surprise, but apart from that, it’s simply never ever actually something that’s appealed to me.

I’m bloated, hurting as well as typically really feel lousy, and having my partner jab around up there does not constantly look like one of the most attractive of events.
VERSUS
It’s not that I’m not in the mood when I’m on my period, however I seem like it’s a time where my body is getting rid of liquids it intends to do away with, so I do not desire anything all up in there pressing it back in and obstructing. Juvenile? Possibly. However you would not have anal if you required a sh * t, would certainly you?
As for I’m concerned, throughout that week, my body is off restrictions to everyone other than me, as well as I’m 100% alright with that.
FOR Lottie Winter, Beauty Editor at GLAMOUR My only worry about duration sex is that the blood doesn’t discolor my sheets. Apart from that, I couldn’t care less concerning it, as well as nor does my guy. He’s exceptionally woke as well as isn’t in all fazed by, or worried of, any kind of component of the female problem. Which is just as well, seeing as my pals as well as I have absolutely no filter when it involves going over physical functions. Periods are an all-natural component of being a woman, as well as sex is a natural expression of love as well as togetherness, so in my mind, there’s no reason that the two would be equally special. But I will put a towel down.

FOR Jen Garside, Engagement Executive at GLAMOUR
Sex with a little of blood simply does not bother me. Whilst bleeding during a sensuous session doesn’t constantly make you feel as ‘sexy’ as you occasionally might, at various other times you might discover your partner’s fearless perspective is more evidence of your intimate connection and also mutual wish, or that it enables a much more care free as well as jovial good time where you’re both open to welcoming each other’s natural body events.
If they’re incredibly phased, it’s absolutely their prerogative to miss sex (their loss), I’m not mosting likely to proactively urge and also encourage. If they’re not fussed, I’m completely delighted with them putting on a prophylactic, throwing a towel down as well as us both forgeting it and also enjoying ourselves.
I will stress that this is mainly on the days either side of the heaviest flow, although I find that even on a truly hefty period most of bleeding stops if you’re on your back, unwinded as well as attempt to let go of the notion that you’re mosting likely to ‘hemorrhage almost everywhere’. Basically— just like all sexual encounters— simply regard your companion, do what works for you and do what you’re in the state of mind for.
