Sex during your period: the upsides
Slow, sensual sex during your period > clean sheets.
What other upsides did we forget?
+ Sex is a painkiller
Period pain is caused by contractions of the uterus as it sheds its lining.
During orgasm, the uterine muscles also contract and then relax, and this helps reduce the pain itself.
Sex also releases endorphins, aka those very pleasure hormones, which lower pain too.
+ A time for slow, sensual sex
During your period, the vaginal tissues become more sensitive. With the right approach, this makes sensations especially pleasant. It's a great time for a slower, more sensual rhythm in sex.
More relaxing touches; move smoothly and gently, and explore what feels especially good right now. Sex during your period is also especially wet.
You might discover new practices for yourself in sex during your period.
+ A new level of intimacy without shame
Yes, periods can make you feel awkward. Sex during this time can help you relax more and get past that embarrassment.
Getting messy during sex is okay. Sex is not about clean sheets and sterility anyway.
Catch your wave, let go of your worries and enjoy a sexy moment together.
