sex while on period?

has any woman tried this?
has any man been turned off by it?
if your woman is on her period does that stop you from having sex?

i thought i read somewhere that when intercourse occurs, the flow stops, but my friend said that she heard it has the opposite effect and can actually extend your period.

Dh and I have sex at that time and neither of us has a problem with it.

We've read just about everything about it on this board really, lol.

I've also read here and there about the rumor of it being extended. I don't know what's up with that, but maybe someone can educate us.

We had sex one time when I was on my period during the dating faze when everything seemed perfect. We both agreed that it's not really for us. I don't like to be touched at all when I'm on my period. I have a thing about being very clean and I know I wouldn't relax enough even if dh wanted to. It didn't stop or extend my period though. If I find out it stops periods...I might reconsider! LOL!

Plenty of people do have sex during their period, but it's not really my cup of tea. Have done it in the past, but there's just something about blood everywhere that I find a bit off-putting. I know that it's natural enough, but I find it all a bit icky...

huh it sounds like the majority of you are not quite into it. i can't speak for anyone else but myself, but my period is very light and not very messy at all and i was trying to communicate this to my bf but he just wasn't feeling it. :( gah and i wanted him to bad last night!

in regards to it stopping one's period, i mean it stopped while having sex. just like when you take a bath. as for stopping it for good i can't really say.

There are some that are just not into at that time and not much you can do about it.

My DH and I will do doggy style during my period. I enjoy it and he doesn't mind too much. I find that my cramps are not as bad afterwards and during remainder of period. Months where we have had sex and months where we have not does not effect the lenght of period one way or the other. I just want to repeat one thing we only do it doggy style since this position is easy to clean up from.
