The good side of having sex on your period
Firstly, having sex on your period is almost never as messy as you think *if you’re okay with a spot or two on the sheets now and then*. There are a lot of benefits about having sex on your period too.
# Your period will end sooner than normal. During your period, involuntary muscle spasms along your uterine walls cause your blood to flow out over a few days. When you orgasm during sex, your orgasms create stronger muscle spasms that push your blood out faster within a day or two. If you’ve noticed this already, you should understand that your blood hasn’t vanished or gone back inside your body. It’s just come out quicker than normal.
# The reduction of cramping pain. Period cramps put a girl’s body under a lot of stress, leading to more pain and mood swings. When you have sex during your period, a good orgasm releases a lot of feel good hormones into your body which reduce the pain and make you feel better instantly.
# A few girls actually feel horny during their periods. Are you one of them? Ever felt really horny on the first day of your period or just before your period starts? It’s because of all the hormonal changes that your body experiences during the release. For some girls, it just makes them more hornier and sex can feel so much better.

#5 Wear a condom if you’re not in a monogamous relationship. Sexually transmitted diseases travel better in blood than in sexual fluid. So unless you know your sexual partner like the back of your hand, it’s still not safe to take that protection off.
#6 Wrap a blanket. If you or your boyfriend is bothered by any odor during the act, wrap your blanket around yourselves up to the neck while doing the missionary and viola, no nose pinching required.
#7 Shower sex. Shower sex was probably invented to have sex during the period. If you’re having sex under flowing water, there’s a good chance both of you won’t even realize you’re on your period.
#8 Don’t let him finger you unless he likes what’s on his hands. You’re wet already, so your man doesn’t really need to use his fingers or spend too much time with his hands around your pelvis to make you wet. Just tell him to stick it in slowly and you’ll be able to smoothen it through. [Read: Top 10 female sexual fantasies]
