my b-friend & i started out to only have oral sex when i was on my period, so i inserted a tampon. what a wonderful orgasm. but we got carried away & had full blown intercourse. the cord on the tampon was still obtainable when we were finished & had no problem coming out. my question is how safe for me is having intercourse with a tampon inserted? also i had very little flow for 2 days afterwards & the regular flow returned before long & lasted an extra 2 days after i should have stopped my regular period. was this coincidence or was this a dangerous sign of having intercourse with a tampon inserted?

I did this once and had a VERY hard time retrieving the string to pull it out. Never again for me.

But I suppose it might be possible to push it past your cervix into the uterus with very deep and forceful thrusting and that would require a trip to the emergency room. And the irritation to the cervix/possible infection that could result even if it didn't get that far.

My opinion is, just pull it out quickly rather than have to worry about it. It's not worth it.
