Etiquette for sex and periods??

Question - (26 June 2014) 6 Answers - (Newest, 28 June 2014)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I have recently got a new boyfriend, everything's going well, but I have a question so looking for some advice for people in the same situation.

We have a lot of sex, which is great, I'm loving it, especially after having none for a good few years. Even when I have my period we still do it then, he clearly doesn't mind the blood and if he doesn't mind then I don't either. So that's all good too.

So I'm after advice from those who are in relationships where you have sex while on your period. When it comes to taking the bottom part of your clothes off, you know what supposed to be in the heat of passion, how exactly do you do this without ruining the moment? I wear towels myself, and so far I've just excused myself to the bathroom while I go and sort myself out (ie dispose of my towel and just come back with no clothes on), is this what you others normally do?

Also, even though he knows when I'm on my period, when we're kissing and stuff he still puts his hands down my trousers a little and I'm thinking 'oh no, I bet he can feel my towel!' Does anyone else get this? Whats the norm here?

It is a new relationship as I said, so just still getting used to each other lol! :-) but would appreciate the advice!

Caring Aunty A agony auntTo address the etiquette or custom shall we say, is has been practiced through the centuries to actually abstain for a time when a woman has her period cycle.

That of course is so we don’t interfere or interrupt what nature needs to eliminate from our body… plus it gives the body time to heal/rejuvenate and make a wanting desire for each other after a pause.

In the course of any blood contact there are risks to be considered, even if we 150+% think we are free of infection, we know infections/germs are transmitted by blood into an opening. Thus are the precautions and or practice that are custom at this time of a woman’s cycle he abstains from having such intimacy.

However if you’re both happy to engage intimately at this time; my advice is to keep it brief, make it a quickie and consider him using a condom :)

person12345 agony auntGive him some warning and then it's up to you two to decide. Some guys aren't comfortable with it, some women aren't, it's just a personal decision. I like sex on my period, the extra blood flow helps. Generally I put a towel down and avoid any girl on top positions (can increase mess I've found) and don't ask for oral.

C. Grant agony auntMy wife was always way more conscious of it than I was, but understands that it doesn't bother me. She would warn me if I was unknowingly going to do something that would make a mess, but that's about it. If he's aware that you're on your period then you don't need to do anything more. Obviously he's comfortable, so all you need to worry about is your own comfort level.

Honeypie agony auntI don't think there is any "Etiquette" for this. You will have to make up your own rules as you go along.

I don't have sex on my period. EVER.

But I also have cramps from Hades and quite a bloodbath so it would be a raging mess. Not at all sexy for me...

IF your man has no problem having sex with you on your period why not simply tell him?

I don't know but my husband never touches me when I am on my period. Personally I think it's pretty gross to have sex when you are bleeding down there. May be to the very end.

If he's a grown man then a pad shouldn't bug him. However, if you think you'll be getting intimate you should do a smell check. Sometimes women can be a little smellier than normal during their periods and it may be enough to at least keep him from going down on you to preserve some of that feminine mystique.
