Unfortunately, there is still a great deal of misinformation
circulating about women's menstrual cycles. We're past the days
when we believed a menstruating woman would curdle milk with which
she came into contact. Yet many still wonder whether menstrual
blood isn't somehow "dirty." The belief that sex during a woman's
period could be somehow dangerous or unhealthy has its origins in
myths such as these.
The reality is that menstrual blood is nothing more than the
remains of the uterine lining, shed after it's no longer needed.
This lining builds up to prepare for the possible implanting of a
fertilized egg. But if a woman doesn't become pregnant, then it's
shed over the course of several days and a new lining begins to
build.
Sex during menstruation doesn't pose any additional health risk to
you or your partner. If either of you have a sexually transmittable
infection, the blood can make it easier to transmit. However, there
would always be a chance of transmission even if you weren't having
your period. If this is at all a concern for you, you should be
using a condom -- menstrual cycle or not!
Remember that just because you're having your period doesn't mean
you can't get pregnant. Be sure to continue using birth control
unless you are trying to become pregnant.
Of course, sex during a woman's period is a little messier. Many
couples, however, take great pleasure in the extra lubrication and
"earthiness" of it. About the only "precaution" you need to take is
putting down a towel first if you are worried about staining the
sheets (and maybe having a few moist towels laying around for use
afterwards). But beyond that, and the caveat about infections such
as HIV, there's no other reason to be concerned.
And many women find sex eases the cramps that sometimes come with
menstruation. It seems to be the orgasms that do it: Studies have
shown that many women report that an orgasm or two -- with or
without intercourse -- works better than any drug in alleviating
the cramps associated with their menstrual cycle. Of course, having
sex also gives you a great distraction from the painful cramps!
So feel free to have all the sex you want during your period. In
fact, if it helps your cramps, then you can even say, "Doctor's
orders!"
Another Opinion:
For those of the Islam faith: The Quran teaches that menstruation
is harmful for both man and woman. During the woman's menstrual
period, you can enjoy an intimate relationship with your partner,
with the exception of intercourse. The blood from menses is
unclean, but this is not the case when the woman has a
break-through bleeding during her clean days of the month; this is
considered a wound and doesn't hinder intercourse. So during the
woman's menstrual period there must be no intercourse, but after
her menstrual cycle is over, you can once again enjoy the pleasures
of intercourse with each other.
Muslim women find intercourse during their period to be unpleasant,
and feel it has a bad impact on the woman herself. It doesn't
relieve any pain but, augments it, and the woman's tissues are in a
sensitive state, during which time it is then more susceptible to
injury and infection. And in the case of men, it may increase the
incidence of infection from that of the unclean menstrual blood.
Also, if both partners wait until after the woman's menstrual cycle
to have intercourse, it then increases the longing and desire of
each partner for the other, which makes intercourse even more
pleasurable for both partners at the end of the woman's menstrual
period.
Of course it is physically possible during your period to have
intercourse. However what no one here has mentioned is it may
increase your chances of getting endometriosis. This is when the
lining of the uterus is reattached somewhere it is not supposed to
be. During intercourse the menstrual fluid containing freshly
sloughed off endometrial tissue can be forced up the fallopian
tubes thus blocking them and reducing your chances of future
conception or may be forced even farther and attach itself to any
number of your organs. Most doctors will admit they do not know the
cause(s) of endometriosis but this is one accepted theory. Please
be careful and know the only potential cure for it is surgery and
it is usually not a complete cure.
A:
Yes and sometimes it can be more enjoyable than when you are not on
your period. It can get messy but who cares, if you are enjoying it
why stop. Why stop yourself from getting pleasure just because
you're on your period. Go for it I certainly do.
A:
Yes. However, a girl can still get pregnant even though she is on
her period. It's kind-of disgusting and off if you ask me.
A:
Yes. It's a little messier.
A:
Of course, but it will be a bloody intercourse
A:
Yes, but it will stain your sheets and mattress or whatever piece
of furniture you happen to be using. It may leave a very strong
odor, too, depending on your body chemistry. Your flow will most
likely increase, as sexual pleasure makes your uterus contract and
your vagina and cervix open up. It depends on your personal
preferences and those of your partner. Most people prefer to
abstain from sex during their period's, but it's not a law or
anything :-)
A:
It's not advisable but knowing how much pleasure can be obtained it
doesn't make any difference during a woman's period than if she's
not on it. Be sure to clean up really good afterward because
unwanted bacteria can cause repeated long term painful infections
in the woman's anatomy.
A:
Yes, and the best place is in the shower. Fun! But to clarify one
contributor's comment, it is during a woman's period that she is
the least fertile, but she can still (rarely) become pregnant, so
use birth control. It is 14 days later you need to think "baby
time."
A:
True, you are least likely to get pregnant while on your period
(listen to a woman here). Your partner most definitely needs to
wear a condom because he could get infections because of all the
bacteria there. Use a red or black towel that you don't mind
getting soiled or do it in the tub. If you use the towel rinse in
cold water and use hydrogen peroxide to get the stain out. In other
countries having period sex is not as taboo as it is in the US,
their guys are less squeamish about such things. Plus, during your
period is the time that your sex drive is sky high which probably
makes the sex even better, plus you have extra lubrication. It is a
fine thing to do.
A:
YES!!! It also relieves cramps. If you wear a diaphragm, you can
have cleaner sex and nothing will come out.
A:
It is up to you to have sex on your period. so if you want to go
for it. It is a lot easier to do it in the shower like others have
said. plus having sex in the shower can be a great new experience
if you haven't done it yet.
A:
You can have sex while on your period. To make it less messy, there
is a device called Instead that is
available at Walmart. It looks like a diaphragm, but is used
"instead" of a tampon (hence the name). It fits over the cervix and
catches the menstrual flow. It takes a little time to get used to,
and can be a little messy at first, but it works! It is also more
comfortable than a tampon, and can be worn for longer periods of
time.
A:
Me, personally I am even more hornier when it's that time of the
month. It has something to do with the "a little more swollen down
there than usual" so .....well, I'm sure you all know what I'm
talking about. ;)
A:
It's very unlikely that you'll get pregnant whilst on your period,
as others have said. I've done it a few times and I've never had a
mess to clean up!
A:
Hmm..well, as a female, It would seem very disgusting. Personally,
I've never done this, because I try to be very respectful of myself
and responsible, but I don't see why any woman would want to. I
guess if it's physically possible, then yes. But why would any self
respectful woman do that?
A:
You can do it, probably not advisable for the first couple of days
if you get it really heavy, but it feels oh so much better. You
must still be careful though because there is a 20% chance of
pregnancy even during your period. And, the guy so doesn't want to
have germs and bacteria from your gore. Also, because everything is
a little different at this time, girls are tighter, so I'm told
it's better for the guy involved... ;)
A:
you can enjoy your intimate relationship with your
partner, except for coitus. Menstruation is a harm, for both man
and woman, the blood from menses is unclean, this is not the case
if the woman bleeds allover the month, this is a clean blood that
doesn't hinder coitus, but during menses there must be a stop, till
the days of menses end, then everything is normal.
coitus during menses is unpleasant, it also has a
bad impact on the woman herself ,it doesn't relieve any pain but to
augment it, and the woman's tissues are in a sensitive stat that it
is then more susceptible to injury and infection, and in case of
men, it may increase the incidence of infection from that unclean
blood.
And why can't both wait for this period to pass? it
then increases the longing of each partner for the other.
They ask you concerning menstruation. Say: that
is an Adha (a harmful thing for a husband to have a sexual
intercourse with his wife while she is having her menses),
therefore keep away from women during menses and go not unto them
till they have purified (from menses and have taken a bath). And
when they have purified themselves, then go in unto them as Allâh
has ordained for you (go in unto them in any manner as long as it
is in their vagina). Truly, Allâh loves those who turn unto Him in
repentance and loves those who purify themselves.quoted
from: Meanings of the Holy Quran, Dr. Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din
Al-Hilali, Ph.D. & Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan.
A:
Kind of messy but yes you can.
Just use a condom and don't have the girl be on top.
You if you want to as long as you don't have any infection that
could be passed through blood and if your partner doesn't have any
objections give it a try. But it can get messy so put some towels
down or use some old sheets.
You should NOT have sex while your are on your menstrual cycle.
It may cause infection to you and the male. If having intercourse
while on your period blood is most likely to spread onto you and
your partner. ( I say why not wait until the 4-7 days are over its
really not that long)
Yes they can and I have done it
Yes, you can. But it's insanely gross and messy. I don't
recommend it.
Yes, you can have sex during your period. Whether or not you decide to have sex during your period is a decision only you and your partner can make. This said, sex during your period does not protect you against pregnancy or STDs. If you decide to have sex during your period, it is important that you practice safer sex in order to prevent the transmission of STD's including HIV as well as to prevent pregnancy.
If you are not currently using birth control and condoms, you can contact your local Planned Parenthood, or local teen health center.
YOu cannot get pregnant during your period, but you can certainly get STDs
Can you get pregnant during your period?
The debate on whether or not a woman can get pregnant during her period has been going on for decades now. Just like every woman is different, so are her hormonal balances and hence her menstrual cycle. Though there are generalities on which some ground basics of menstruation and pregnancy can be formed, but eventually it all boils down to individual physiology. So, yes, you can get pregnant during your periods.
There is a definite chance that any woman can get pregnant during here periods. Though the chances of pregnancy during periods are usually low during periods, they exist for all women. During periods, the chances of pregnancy are comparatively lower at the onset of a woman's period and increase just after her periods. The truth is that there is no predictable time during the month when the risk of pregnancy can be said to be absent. Lets understand how and when this can happen.
Ovulation and the menstrual cycle
During each menstrual cycle, a woman's ovaries release an egg, or ovum. This process is called ovulation. Generally, this takes place on an average of about 14 days before the start of a woman's monthly period. Even for women with regular periods, this timing or duration can vary from month to month. Sometimes, there may not be any ovulation at all but the woman may still have her bleeding. After ovulation the egg moves toward the uterus through the fallopian tubes. If there is a sperm available, with all the right conditions, here is where the process of fertilization may take place. An unfertilized egg may live for about 24 hours and if does not get fertilized during this duration, it will be shed during the next menstrual period, along with the uterine lining.
Due to the increasing stress levels, it is very common for women who are ovulating to experience some vaginal bleeding that can be unfortunately mistaken for a period. Other factors that may contribute to this are malnutrition or trauma to the cervix. In some women, ovulation can actually occur before the menstrual bleeding has stopped. In others it may occur within a few days after her period has finished. In both of these cases, having sex before the period or just after it has finished, can result in pregnancy.
Besides misleading vaginal bleeding, the ability of sperms to survive inside a woman's body is also another reason why it is possible for a woman to get pregnant during her periods. Sperms can survive for an average of two or three days, inside a woman's body under normal conditions. If they receive ideal circumstances, however, they may remain viable for up to five days. So if sperm are deposited early, such as during a woman's period, they can hang around a few days, waiting until conditions are right for conception. A woman is most likely to become pregnant if sexual intercourse occurs just before or just after ovulation.
If you have had unprotected sex during your periods, the best idea is to take a home pregnancy test. These tests are easily available on the Internet and are very simple to use too. Within a few minutes you can know whether or not you are pregnant. If the home pregnancy test results show a negative, there is still a chance that you may be pregnant if you feel all the symptoms. In such a case a blood pregnancy testwould be the best solution. Do look up are article on blood pregnancy tests to give you a clearer picture of these.
Yes, you can have sex during your period as long as it doesn't bother your partner. It is also great relief for cramps if you reach orgasm, as all your muscles totally relax afterwards.
Yes you can there is nothing wrong with doing that. You should definitely use a condom, because you are at very high risk of catching any diseases while blood is present if she has a disorder.
If the female partner is willing of course. She might be more sensitive because of more blood flow to the area. This can be a highly charged time to have sex so be aware that it should be with her consent.
It is very popular during a period to have sex "doggy style" where the man sticks his penis up the woman's arse. Yes, if the male is willing. I wouldn't recommend that you get too involved in much foreplay other than kissing. It can be messy at times. Just remember that even if you are on your period and have sex, you can still get pregnant so it is necessary to have a form of contraception such as condoms or birth control. I personally DON'T recommend it!
Absolutely! Many women find themselves having stronger orgasms and being more sensitive during this time. You still have to protect yourself. Yes. Yes you can. You can also still get pregnant when you have sex on your period. FYL Women can have sexual intercourse during their menstrual period
with no issue. Yes they prefer it Yes you can. Some couples like it and some don't. It is a personal preference.
yes she can but it can get a bit messy
Yes she can, although it can be messy. Also a girl can still get pregnant if she has sex on her period because all she is doing then is shedding the uterine lining and egg that wasn't fertilized the month before. So, if you do plan on having sex during menstration, make sure you take precautions if you don't want a pregnancy to result.
Yes, a girl can have sex while on her period but some guys find it to be a turn-off. You would probably just have to leave that up to your partner as to whether or not he wanted to have sex while you were on your period.
Yes you can, if you are referring to menstrual cycle. Though it can be messy, there is evidence that it can actually relieve PMS symptoms. If you mean bicycle than I would HIGHLY recommend against it. So long as you don't mind making a bit of a mess.
