Can being stessed cause you to miss your period?
Yes. Sometimes stress can cause you to miss a period, but I would say more so prolong your period and sometimes stress can bring on an unexpected period.

How should you feel during sex?
There are no rules about what you 'should' feel during sex, it can be a completely different experience every time...changing depending on who you're having sex with, your relationship, where you are in your menstrual cycle, the mood at the time, your health, and a million other things. The only things that we can say for sure is that if sex is painful or not pleasurable it is a good idea to stop and address why that is the case.
