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

  • it is safe, it is okay. He's just being squeamish. There's nothing to worry about.

  • Its perfectly safe, just not everyone is going to be into it.  DH won't and in the end its not a big deal for us we can wait it out a week.  I would just talk to him about it, to some people its a big deal.

  • 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. 

  • Have you suggested doing it in the shower?

    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.

  • We only do it in the shower.
  • Luckily, DH has never had a problem with it. As PP's have said, I think it's just a mindset. If he's not into it, he's just not into it. I wouldn't press the issue much. I mean, worst case scenario, just masterbate more during your period.
  • 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.

  • My DH isn't grossed out by any bodily functions or anything so this would be weird to me, but I mean, it's only for a few days and if he's not comfortable with it then would it really be enjoyable anyway?

  • Hubby does not have a problem with having sex while on my period but I have a HUGE problem with it. The only time we have had sex during the time of the month was our wedding night. (it was pretty much a year since we had sex) I am totally grossed out by it because I have a heavy flow and having sex makes it worse. Is it wrong? The body is fine but if you are Christian or Jewish it may be a bit of a problem seeing as that is considered, "An unclean" moment for women.
  • I've had sex with all my partners while they were on their period. Sex is all about swapping fluids and sweat and getting down and dirty! Also, a woman can sometimes be a lot tighten when they are cramping up. Try that line on him and see if he bites. Otherwise, get a brown towel and put it down and keep some wet naps by the bed side and go to it! Ha! You could even say something like, "You're not man enough to deal with a little blood?"
  • I always get super horny while on my period.  We have sex regularly during. there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

  • See it's ME that doesn't want to do it when I'm on my period! Toward the end when it's lighter I get really horny, and right before it starts I get very horny, but during...ehhhh don't touch me. Blowjob time.
