Sex During Your Period
My husband and I have been married for about 6 months and he is of course into having sex. However, one thing that frusterates me is that he gets grossed out and doesn't want to have sex when I'm having my period. I have a really light flow, and it doesn't seem like a big deal to me. We use lube anyway, you'd barely notice what's going on down there. I've asked him about it a couple times, and he always just gets freaked out about the concept. Am I being unreasonable to want (or ask for) sex during that time of the month? I thought it was safe and okay... Not sure and not very experienced. Thanks!

Re: Sex During Your Period
Some guys just get nervous about seeing the blood. I don't know if it's a mindset you can really change. Is it that he gets a little disturbed when he pulls out and there's blood on him? If so try using a condom during your period (this is what we do, it just keeps it cleaner and saves him from any big cleanup afterwards). You also probably don't need lube or as much during your period since there's already a good amount of wetness from the blood and such, lube could just be making it messier.
If he's still not into it though I don't know if I'd press it too much.
It's safe. It's just an icky button for some people. I don't think it's a big deal either to do it or to avoid it during that time. Since his preference is to not, I'd say just hold off for those few days each month. It's not gonna kill anybody.
Maybe, since it doesn't gross you out, just masturbate on those days if you really need a release.
My husband was a little weirded out the first time we had sex on my period. He was more worried that he hurt me. He came back in after cleaning up and was like...are you ok? It took me awhile to realize what he was talking about!
Just talk it out with him.
