Why do I get really horny when I am on my period? Is it normal?

It happens to many women and it's normal.

it happens to me too. it's totally counter-intuitive. you'd think we'd get super horny during ovulation, the likeliest time we could get pregnant, not the least likely time we could get pregnant. the body works in mysterious ways.

I'd like to know what's so horrible about it, too?

I get very horny on 2nd day and I love telling/showing him what I'm feeling (he knowing that I'd go all the way regardless of how messy) just to see how far he'll go. I am very happy whenever he pursues me during that time (I'm learning how to overcome the "mess", yet always feel sorry him having to clean "it" very well).

Now horrible, IMO, was my XH who would never touch me during that time!

Just cause I can't really do anything about it, per se.

OK, maybe "horrible" is a bad term. I just meant, I can't (or not willing to) do anything about it. Personal preference, I guess. I don't think I'm willing to go all the way while that's happening. Whether I change my mind is a different thing. But at this very moment, I'm not willing to go all the way during this time.

But I didn't mean horrible in a "horrible" way.

Now that perspective is very easy to understand and trust me, I understand it all too well.

XH taught me that sex during period was not possible, so IMO if one man doesn't want it then no man would ever want it and because of health/mess issues it was never something I pursued. With one phrase, current man erased my 17 yr old mindset with "it doesn't bother me, does it bother you?".

Being open to the fact that you may change your perspective is a good thing. Age has a wonderful way of opening us up, along with that one special person to get us to try stuff we previously thought as 'taboo'.

And yes, I always thought it funny that horny comes with the blood and not with ovulation.

Like the OP, I think it's "horrible" that I get hornier when I'm having my period. My 1st DH didn't care. Bless that man, he had a really high libido (which worked out well, since my own was fairly high!). My current DH doesn't want to have intercourse while I'm bleeding. Ok. I get we're all different. One solution that has worked for me is to give him a BJ instead. I love to give BJs, so this is a good thing for both of us. I have even orgasmed while giving him a BJ. Works for me! ;-)
