Period sex: no big deal

Women are often horny when they’re having their period. Janette no longer regards her period as a deterrent to having sex. Orgasms even relieve her cramps.

I have sex on my period and I don’t plan on stopping.

Disgusted

But it hasn’t always been that way. When I was younger, I had heard of stories of girls having sex on their period but I didn’t dare to try it out myself. I always thought the guys I dated would be disgusted by me and think I was unclean.

But Alex, my boyfriend of two years, made me see things differently. A few months ago, he visited me over the weekend and I was on my period. I didn’t know when I would see him again and I really wanted to have sex.

Super horny

I had not seen him for a while and because I usually get super horny on my ‘red robot’ days, I was completely aroused by his mere presence and couldn’t keep my hands off him. When Alex made a move to head over to the bedroom, I panicked and told him I was on my period. He wasn’t too bothered by that fact: ‘Do you really think that I can keep my hands off you just because you’re on your period?’ he said.

So I was finally going to experience my first period sex.

Cramp relief

I laid a towel on the bed before we got on with it to minimise the mess on the sheets. Since this was a first for me, I didn’t want Alex to get too excited and start using his hands on me down there. Alex slipped on a condom. He knew that I was nervous and I was already cramping, maybe from too much excitement. I was blown away by his gentleness and consideration. By the time he penetrated me, I was really wet and ready to go. The sensation was amazing. It was the same and yet different. Every point on my body felt sensitive and ready to burst.

Later, as I lay in his arms, I noticed that the cramps had eased and were manageable without the need for painkillers. The sex had been amazing. Now there’s really no reason why I would not have sex in the future while I am on my period.

  12. sex while in period is not
    sex while in period is not advisable. My aunt was an addict of same and hated meeting with her husband on normal days, having had a child before marriage, she never had an oppotunity of having another for every moment she conceived, it resulted to a miscarriage due to failure in lmplantation for the uterus had grown too slippery dat could not support lmplantation. Besides her husband had developed complecations of spinal cord and as they went for medical attention, the research turned out to be negative in that they had been affected by tgat act of having sex while in periods. Also its risky becouse incase it comes in contact with urethra it will lead its way into the penis and cause irritation to an extent of interfering wi testis. l opposse the act.

    Can I get pregnant when having sex during my periods and my periods are irregular is there a way I can. Tell for sure when am ovulating since I want to get pregnant? Thank you.

    1. Hey, there is a chance that…

      Hey, there is a chance that you could get pregnant if you had sex during your period. The chance is however very small; a man’s sperm has the ability to survive inside the woman’s body for a few days and there is a small chance that an early ovulation could cause pregnancy. If you want to avoid getting pregnant, it is best to use contraceptives. https://lovemattersafrica.com/our-bodies/female-body/sex-during-your-period-top-five-facts

      On your second question, usually, you bleed up to the seventh day of your cycle, and ovulation usually starts 12–16 days before your next period. This means you ovulate between day 12 and 16 of your cycle. If you have an irregular cycle, lasting just 21 days or as long as 42 days, it’s more likely that you could ovulate soon after your period. For instance, in a 21-day cycle, you may stop bleeding on day seven of your cycle, but you may ovulate between day five and day nine of your cycle.
