10 Facts about Intercourse during Periods

Unread post by Sister Nadi »

Many men and women feel anxious about having sex during periods because we have been culturally conditioned to believe that menstruation is something dirty. There are also many misconceptions about the medical aspects of sex during periods. Medically, it is normal to have sex during periods. The safe sex practices required to avoid pregnancy and STDs when a woman is not menstruating should also be used during periods.


1. Can sex during periods result in pregnancy?
Chances of pregnancy during periods are minimal. However, if you strictly want to avoid pregnancy it is advisable to use an adequate birth-control method each time you have intercourse, including during periods. Though the chances of pregnancy during periods are very low, they are not entirely absent because the sperm can survive in the body for a few days and there is a small chance that an early ovulation will cause pregnancy.

2. Will contact with menstrual blood cause sexually-transmitted diseases (STD)?Menstrual blood is nothing but normal human blood mixed with tissues lining the uterus. Contact with menstrual blood is not harmful in any way. If your partner has a STD, you have a high chance of contracting it and you should be using a condom during intercourse, both during periods and otherwise.

3. Does sex during periods cause HIV infection?Sex during periods cannot cause HIV infection unless one of the partners is HIV infected. Unprotected intercourse with an HIV infected partner can cause HIV infection, regardless of periods. The only connection between HIV and sex during periods is that the chances of HIV transmission from an HIV infected person to his/ her partner are higher if they have sex during periods. If you have the slightest concern about HIV infection, the thumb rule is to use a condom regardless of periods.

4. Will contact with menstrual blood harm the penis?
No, menstrual blood will not harm the penis in any way. The worries and concerns about menstrual blood stem from the fact that we have been socially conditioned to see it as a dirty fluid. Scientifically, menstrual fluid is a mix of blood and tissues that line the uterus every month to prepare it for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, the tissue is shed because it is no longer required.

5. Can sex during periods injure the uterus?No, sex during periods cannot injure the uterus. There is a common perception that the mouth of the uterus opens up during periods and the penis can poke into it and hurt the uterus. This is not correct. Menstrual flood oozes out of a very small opening in the mouth of the uterus. The penis can never poke in through this opening.

6. Is sex during periods a perversion?
You would be happy to know that a large number of couples have sex during periods. From the medical standpoint, sex during periods is absolutely normal. So if you too indulge in it, there is absolutely no need to feel guilty or anxious.

7. Will sex during periods stop bleeding?Some women do notice that their periods stop within a day or so of sexual intercourse. This does not mean that the menstrual blood has been pushed back into the uterus and is unable to flow out. It happens primarily because sexual intercourse causes uterine contractions that expel the menstrual fluids and tissue faster, thus causing the bleeding to stop sooner than usual.

8. Will sex during periods relieve menstrual cramps?
Yes, some women do experience a decrease in menstrual cramps if they have sexual intercourse. This can happen because of multiple factors. On one hand, orgasm causes the release of some chemicals in the body that have pain allaying properties. Some scientists also believe that this happens because excess cramp causing chemicals called prostaglandins get used up.

9. Is it ok to have oral sex during periods?Yes, from the health perspective it is ok to have oral sex during periods. It is advisable to use a dental dam if you have oral sex with a menstruating female partner.

10. Should I remove my tampon before having sex during periods?
Yes, always remember to remove your tampon before having sex during periods. If you do not do this there is a chance that the tampon will get pushed up in your vagina and if it is left there for a prolonged period, it can cause infection. Quite a number of our readers have been asking me if sex during menstrual cycle should actually be a total no go area; arguing that most of them are either short menstrual cycled, or their cycles are so unpredictable or they have been diagnosed to only ovulate during cycle.

Sex during menstruation has been seen as a taboo based on religious and social grounds but there are some good sides to it. Having sex on a period is almost never as messy as many think safe for a spot or two on the sheets. During a period, involuntary muscle spasms along the uterine walls cause blood to flow out over a few days; but when a lady orgasms during sex, the orgasm creates stronger muscle spasms that push the blood out faster within a day or two. If you’ve noticed this already, you should understand that your blood hasn’t vanished or gone back inside your body. It’s just come out quicker than normal. Ladies with longer days of bleeding usually love this.

Besides, it allows reduction of cramping pain. Period cramps or premenstrual tension put a lady’s body under a lot of stress, leading to more pain but when she has sex during her period, a good orgasm releases a lot of ‘feel good’ hormones into her body and make her feel better instantly. Some ladies actually feel sexually attracted to their husbands and they are particularly highly aroused at this time. They feel so horny during their periods especially on the first day of the period or just before it starts. This is because of all the hormonal changes that the body experiences during the release. This is actually the main reason why many researchers encourage sex during the menstrual cycle. The more sexy and erotic a woman is during her period helps her to get pregnant during that time.

If you’ve been interested in the idea, here are a few tips to make the whole game a lot easier and sexier. Place a soft cloth under your butt to avoid staining the bed. Keep tissues nearby, especially during orgasm when he will ejaculate and release all the sperms into you. You already have a fluid waiting to come out, adding his load to it makes you have considerable amount of fluids in your vaginal that’s waiting to come out as soon as you move or lift up your back. The tissue will help you to cover your wet spot and sit up after sex.

If you’re on your period, don’t engage in woman on top position. Instead, lie on your back and just enjoy the ride while your man does all the work; missionary is a safe position. The most important of it all is that the man will fully ejaculate into you. Since this is one of the reasons many are advocating for such, this may be the couple’s dream come true. Men love ejaculating deeply into their wives, nothing satisfies a man during sex more than fully downloading without reservation. As soon as the man ejaculates, kindly bear it in mind that sperm stays alive for up to 72 hours. So for many ladies that may be ovulating during this period, you may likely get impregnated.

But note that if you experience heavy flows, avoid having sex during the first 2 days. It’s easier to have sex after your heaviest days. Some foreplay like fingering or sucking the clitoris may be avoided unless he does not mind blood stained hands and mouth. During this period, most ladies are already well lubricated and wet, so your husbands may not really need to use their fingers or spend too much time with their hands around your clitoris or vulva to make you wet. Just tell them to stick in their penis in slowly into your vagina and you’ll be able to smoothen it through. Oral sex during this period is not practicable.

Now you may wonder how to handle the sanitary pads if you are flowing heavily? All you need do is make sure your sanitary pad securely and safely sticks to the base of your panty. Then, pull the panties and the pad to one side and give your husband some space to penetrate you from one side. This may even be another form of creativity for your sexual relationship and the man may like how tight it feels around his penis. It’ll also reduce any outflow or squirts when he takes his penis out.

But bear in mind that sexually transmitted diseases travel better in blood than in sexual fluid. If you are HIV positive, this will not be okay for you. Besides this, the wall of the vagina at this particular time is usually sore, tender and soft; so there might be possibilities of the woman being infected during thrusting in and out and the penis accidentally slipping off to touch some other part of the pelvic area or the bed spread. This action may allow access to ascending infection. When these types of infection are not treated on time and adequately, it may lead to pelvic inflammatory disease.
