Making love on your period?

How many of you women like making love on your period and how does your man feel about this? I want the young man I'm dating to make love to me when I'm on my period, but after we get more comfortable with each other first. And I'm talking about light as well as heavy days.

Dh and I never had a problem with it whether it was my first day, last day or anywhere in-between.

My SO and I do, but it isn't nearly as enjoyable because it's hard to get enough friction going. I think it's probably less enjoyable for the guys. Don't get me wrong, it still feels good, it just isn't the same. We always put an old towel down first and keep a few paper towels handy for clean-up.

Some guys are squeamish about blood, and some just aren't that thrilled at the prospect of dipping their wick into a blood and sloughed-off uterine tissue combo. Seeing a blood-coated penis conjures up some nasty visuals for some guys, too. I keep the Golden Rule in mind during sex: if I don't want to be pressured into doing something or made to feel guilty for not doing it, it's only fair to allow the other person the right to veto my idea. And he could always use a vibrator on you instead or put a condom on his finger and give you an intimate massage, assuming he feels comfortable doing it. After all, it's only for one week, and maybe even less for you. Getting back into your regular routine would seem more exciting and give you something to look forward to :-)

For those of you who replied, does your man have any objections to the smell of the blood? I've never known menstruation blood, or any blood for that matter, to have a pleasant smell. What do you do? Burn scented candles? l

I've never gotten any complaints about odor, so either the guys I've been with didn't notice it or it didn't bother them. You could wash yourself right before intercourse and maybe that would help. If it's a light day, a SweetSpot wipe might be good enough.

i find that my sex drive is hightened during my period but that last time me n my bf did it on my rag i actually find it quite painful inside as if my walls were sore (which would make sense) so it was not enjoyable but i wish it was, damn hormones

I've never noticed a scent of the blood and neither did he (he would say something if he did).

Menstrual blood doesn't have an odor until it hits the skin, and the bacteria on the skin produces the odor. The same goes for other bodily fluids, including perspiration. Soap and water takes care of it.

Promising him his "red wings" might be just the incentive he needs.

usually the scent makes no difference to the guys they are getting sex of all things, plus i would be more worried about semen smells rather then menstrual blood

but i always use the washroom first and really wipe my self just to avoid the scent and some excess "blood"

I have only done it once - and this was during the last day of my period. It has never really been discussed with my boyfriends because I never really felt comfortable doing it during my period. I usually do want to have sex, but never thought a guy would. The first time I got my period with my new boyfriend he made it very clear that he's not into doing it while I have my period. That's fine. I understood that, but by the end of my period he was a little drunk and really horny and really wanted to have sex regardless. I didn't have it anymore, but I think he would have at that point if I still had it. Some men and some women have very strong opinions about this.

In the beginning my Husband (who literally faint's at just the mention of someone bleeding!) always wanted to ML regardless of the time of month. Many times I had to turn him down because I get very tender in my lower pelvic region just before and during my period. Deep penetration is extremely painfull and the doggie position is out of the question during my period. Over the last several years he no longer shows any interest in ML during my period. I have developed menorrhagia (excessivly heavy and/or frequent menstruation) that's extremely clotty and with the added deep, low pelvic pain it's quite hard for me to get comforable with intercourse. I have asked him about why he's not interested in being intimate during my period and have offered other posibilities but he just preferes to wait until it's over. This is more than ok for me. I rather think that a "sexual fasting period" has actually made the other days of the month better!
