Is it ok to have sex when she's on her period?

[eclipsewoa]

now this question might be a lil discusting, me and my girlfriend have sex all the time, its hard for me to go more than 1 day without it or i feel like im going into sexual shock, and she is the same way.

but that monthly thing comes in, u know, the monthly thing women have, which is a good thing because u know that she isnt pregnant but a bad thing because you cant have sex, but, she has really been wanting to do it while she is on her monthly, i mean she seems to get really really horny during this time.

but me, i dont really find it sexy, if u know what i mean, but she wants it, and ive did it before with her, but is it alright to do it when she is on her monthly, i mean, can anything bad happen, its been so long, but i do remember it feeling really good, and i dont know why but is it ok to do it, i mean i really dont want to for obvious reasons, but could someone help me with this one

From the National Institutes for Health - a governmental health organization. The short answer is - you decide.


PIP: For some couples sexual intercourse during menses is both acceptable and pleasurable, while for others it is an undesirable or unacceptable sexual pattern. When counseling couples about having sexual intercourse during menses, one need to keep in mind both the advantages and possible disadvantages. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is the most threatening risk of having coitus during menses. A woman who has experienced PID or a woman at high risk of developing PID may want her partner to use a condom if she wants to have intercourse during menses. Religious reasons may keep couples from sexual intercourse during menses. Women with very short monthly cycles may, from time to time, ovulate during menses. The use of tampons during menses may make the vagina very dry, and extra lubrication may be required. If sexual intercourse during menses does not lead to orgasm for the woman, pelvic congestion may be increased, thereby increasing the dysmenorrhea a woman experiences. The advantages of intercourse during menses are: pregnancy is far less likely to occur; by diminishing pelvic congestion, orgasm may significantly decrease the amount of dysmenorrhea a woman experiences; blood may be a good lubricant; and there are less days of abstinence in the monthly cycle.
