Sex & your period
11

I have been with my boyfriend for about 5 months now. We are talking about marriage and we are very much in love. I have 2 children from a previous marriage and he has never been married. When we first started haveing sex and I had my period, he had sex with me and even went down on me during that time. He actually got sick after going down on me during my period...of course that would be enough to make you sick. I told him he did not have to do that but he said it was ok. Now, a few months down the road, he will not have sex during my period. He wants to know that I am done and there is no spoting. My question is....are most men grossed out about sex during a woman's period? It makes me feel like I have the plague. I have given him a few BJ's during this time, but he will not touch me until my period is over & no spoting. Do I just accept this? He gets real uncomfortable after sex because he wants to clean up immediately. During sex is fine, but when it's over he is the first one to the bathroom to clean up. Maybe he has an issue about the fluids. He says he love me and having sex with me but he just can't stand the messiness of sex. Please, I need feedback!

My husband has the same issue. No matter how bad I want it during my period, it is always a no go. And he always runs to the bathroom afterward too. It is very annoying and almost offensive, so I do know how you are feeling. The way I see it, if I get none around that time, he gets nothing from me either.
