Sex on your period yes or no?

My husband and I were discussing this the other day. He doesn't like it and I don't really care because we can have sex whenever but what are other thoughts?

I could have a penis eating plant growing out of my hot pocket and my husband would still risk it for sex lol. I personally don't like period sex because it's a lot of extra clean up. But I will do it occasionally.

No I rather wait. Though I’ve heard it reduces cramps .

no. the ONLY time we ever did was years ago before kids 😅 i guess it didnt go so well since it never happened again

Avatar

Yes. Usually do it when it’s light tho so like the last days! Does help w cramps and feels even better then doing it regular tbh!

Avatar

Yep! I use menstral disks and they keep the mess at bay!

Define 'sex' - orgasms can be pretty good for period pains and there are lots of ways to have sex without vaginal penetration if the thought of that in particular isn't doing it for you but you want to have some sexy time. But there are so many factors around how you are (both) physically feeling even before you get to what type is sex will be enjoyable for both of us if we are feeling up for (hopefully) mutual orgasm having.

I don’t feel very sexy on my period but if it’s very light and tampering off sometimes we do.

Have a bath and you have a couple hours "mess free" play. Never had any issues or horror stories

I have menstrual disks so it doesn’t get messy, but even if I forget to wear one, my husband will still wanna have sex. It’s usually his idea when I’m on my period cause my cramps gets really bad. And if I’m ever uncomfortable, he’ll just use a toy instead.

Avatar

When I got my period we would. Just made sure to lay down an extra towel or have shower sex. Personally, it's really good.

I love it

I do not and I won’t ever have sex on my period. I find it gross and I can’t stand bleeding. Plus I wear tampons all the time when I’m on my period and I don’t really find it sexy to have to remove it for sex.

If that’s your thing then you do you but I can’t even consider it. It’s a hard no for me.

Not on the heaviest days unless it’s in the shower otherwise yes

Avatar

We like shower sex and fooling around with a tampon in- neither of us care so long as there's 1) no mess or 2) it's an easy cleanup

Avatar

Me & my OH don't mind it, he says its up to me if i want to. We don't usually do it on my heaviest days as im too uncomfortable with back pain etc however orgasms help as pain relief

Avatar

Before I was pregnant when I was on my period we’d just lay an extra sheet down x

Avatar

Shower sex lol I’m horny af on my period and that’s the only time we do it in the shower my hubby is a Germ-a-phob hates blood (he’s an emt/ff go figure) so that’s what works for us

Avatar

Not when I am bleeding a lot. I would like to do it towards the end when it is barely there. Be doesn't want to do it all. I think in our 16 year's of marriage we've done it maybe twice, there wasn't even any mess but he is still against it.

Avatar

You can have sex with the Ziggy cup in and avoid all the blood!

Avatar

My bf says the mess doesn't bother him and he loves that I'm more sensitive its basically easier to make me orgasm 😂 so we do but never on heavier days only when I feel like it which is usually towards the end of my period

Avatar

Only if I’m in the mood lol. If I’m not I use it as an excuse not to. My husband doesn’t care.

Avatar

My boyfriend doesn’t mind as long as it my last or first couple days where I’m the lightest or in the shower....

Avatar

In the shower or with a towel down. Preferably a dark towel... if you can’t see it, doesn’t exist 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

Avatar

If im the mood yeah.

A Period doesn’t stop nothing but a sentence.

Avatar

My period is too uncomfortable and sex makes it worse so we generally avoid period sex.

Avatar

Not on the firsts days of period when the flow is heavy . Wait to do it when the bleeding is not a lot . Doing it while on period and in the shower is good .

Avatar

Sex helps my period pain 🤷🏼‍♀️ my partner doesn’t care about the blood because he’s just happy to get sex 🤣

Avatar

Yes. It’s helps with the cramps and has even made it end sooner before so I’m always down lol

Avatar

Ugh I love it!!! It helps my cramps so much lol. We just do shower sex so it’s not hard to clean up and we can both just rinse off lol.

Avatar

Whatever you are both comfortable with. It's nothing a shower can't clean up. Lol 🤷🏾‍♀️

Avatar

No; we don’t do it. Mainly because you’re at a higher risk of infection when on your period and I don’t take that risk. I’ve also unexpectedly started my period early during sex a couple times and my partner got such a fright 😂 he wasn’t disgusted or put off, but it just freaks him out hahaha

shower sex!!

All gangsters run red lights 😂😂.

Sorry. I heard that on a movie and never had the opportunity to use that quote. It’s too good.

Try Flex disc's - they changed my life, allowing mess-free period sex. I've always felt like it relieves cramps as well as battles irritability, makes me feel better all around. Best of luck!

Family culture difference on money

Sorry this is long, I hope some of you get to the end and give advice!!!

So I’m a very thrifty person, things are tight at the moment, the cost of living crisis and my house is heated by oil so things are extortionate. We aren’t on the bread line but we aren’t flush, hubby might be made redundant so there is some financial pressure.

Sometimes I buy my sons something nicer, on the justification that I can sell it on after (♥️ vinted ♥️). I have also been planning on pretty much breaking even most of the baby things I bought from face book market place, side by crib, baby changing unit, etc.

Hubby and I have different money cultures with our families (he’s Indian, I’m British). I’m my family we don’t mix money, we would help each other out if someone was in trouble and will get each other gifts on special occasions. With hubby’s family money is much more fluid, they will give each other things worth thousands of £ just because.

Hubby’s brother bought him a new laptop and a new Google phone, he’s been very generous to hubby. Hubby hasn’t given the same back because brother is much richer.

Hubby and I mostly share finances. If it’s relevant I’m the higher earner.

Now to the point! My babies are so cute they’ve given hubby’s brother (currently single) baby rabies. He’s asked for our baby stuff when we’re done with it. He’s been so generous to hubby I feel really stingy saying no. But I’d never have bought some of the stuff if I wasn’t going to get a return on it - the thought makes me a bit anxious. If we gave all our baby stuff given the second hand value it still wouldn’t equal what the brother had given hubby.


I thought maybe I could give him some stuff but sell some stuff, but hubby said then his brother will just have to go out and buy that stuff, so I should name my price and ask his brother for the money. That makes me feel very uncomfortable, given how generous the brother has been to hubby.

So what do I do ladies? Give it all and suck it up? Give part of it and sell parts on Vinted/FB, or ask hubbys brother for money for it and be uncomfortable? Or do you see another solution?

No one is being entitled or rude here, just a culture difference I need to navigate.

Advice

Hi everyone! I honestly have 0 social queues when it comes to talking to anyone in general. I definitely have a hard time talking to other women and making new friends. I can 100% relate. I just don’t like the idea of texting or meeting up but when I do I’m like “oh this isn’t bad.” Any advice? I also have a hard time getting comfortable and just feeling judged by other women😅 I’m also 19 so maybe making a change in this now will help in the future making mom friends/friends in general. Thanks in advance!
