Having sex while you’re surfing the crimson wave doesn’t even require a surfboard or a wetsuit… though you may want to, you know, lay a towel down on the bed before your first session. Period sex is totally, utterly, and completely safe. What's the harm in trying it out? (That's rhetorical: there is none!) There’s stigma after stigma surrounding the act of having period sex and the reality is it’s not a big deal, and there are actually health benefits for you and your partner. Keep reading to find out how period sex can actually be good for you.
Are you for or against period sex? What’s your reasoning? Let us know in the comments section below.
Lube, schmube. Having sex when your vagina is too dry can cause irritation, cuts, and tears — and no one wants that. Cue the blood!
Lubrication. While allergies to certain lubes are not uncommon, blood is essentially hypoallergenic and won’t cause any sort of allergic reaction that a normal lube might have caused. It’s essentially nature’s lube.
Amount. WebMD reports that during an average menstrual cycle, a woman will shed between four and 12 teaspoon of a combination of uterine lining and other fluids; it’s mostly only red because of how.. red.. blood is.
Duration. Have you ever thought, “Gahhh.. my period is lasting forever?” Well, think it no more! Sex is here to save the freaking day (and it comes bearing gifts).
Gifts. What kind of gifts? Uhm.. how about the secret to a shorter period? How’s that work for you? According to Bustle, the uterus contracts every time a woman has an orgasm, which provokes the quickening of the process of uterline line shedding. In laymen’s terms?
Blood. You get all the blood out quicker. “Having sex during your period will not only shorten its length, but it will also flush out the compounds within the uterus that are causing all that cramping and pressure in the first place,” according to Bustle.
Intimacy. You know that Calvin Harris track “How Deep Is Your Love?” Just imagine period sex as the key to a deeper sort of love. Confused?
Decisions. How many times have you been on a first date with your period and thought, “I really want to have sex, but I have my period,” and then decided, “Ahh, screw it!” That’s probably almost never happened to you (or maybe it has).
If you have sex on your period… then it’s safe to say you feel comfortable enough with the bond you share with this person to have sex while you’re literally bleeding out of your vagina. That’s like signing over the keys to your heart, kind of. You’re close!
Shy? Forget about shyness when you’ve got someone good-looking next to you in bed! Period sex sort of forces you out of your shell, which is a good thing, ultimately. There’s no rush, of course. Do it in your own time, slow and steady and all that!
Appreciation. You will have a whole new understanding and appreciation of your body after having period sex. You won’t associate periods with grossness or “ickiness” anymore.
Cramps. Can’t live with them… and we don’t want to live with them.. that’s kind of the jist. Cramps f*cking suck. But period sex can solve that problem, at least for a little while.
Nature's Advil. Just think of sex as nature’s pain reliever, as an orgasm has a pretty similar effect on the body. Less pain, more pleasure.. what are you waiting for, exactly?
All in all... Period sex is just as fun as regular, old run-of-the-mill sex. But it's almost more fun.. if you think about it. Give it a shot. You won't regret it.
You. Have we changed your mind about period sex? Are you now going to venture off into the period sex wilderness, or will you be waiting until the end of your menstrual cycle? Let us know in the comments!!
