Period Sex: 5 Ways To Experience Pleasure Without Hindrance

Period sex is something people shy away from. Of course, it is not something for everyone. Periods can come with their own complications and be very painful for some. But there is no need to shy away from it if it doesn't worsen your health.

Most people don’t even consider it because it has the two most conservatively used words – period and sex. Both have several misconceptions surrounding them, and people talk about them in hushed tones.

However, in a private space, everyone should be able to prioritise their health and desires without being judged. Period sex is one such option for couples who want to let go of their inhibitions when it comes to pleasure.

As long as you take care of basic hygiene, you do not have to stay away from sex when during your periods. It could be a way to explore more pleasure points and techniques. Moreover, an orgasm can relieve you from cramps and period pain according to some studies.

Here is how you can make period sex better:

Do Not Forget The Protection

Periods do not mean you can’t get pregnant or catch sexually transmitted diseases. Plus period sex will definitely be messier than regular sex.

Therefore, you must not forget condoms. Other forms of contraceptives might protect you against pregnancy, but only condoms can help you avoid the mess, and chances of contracting STIs and UTIs.

Try To Let Go Of Inhibitions

Women are often told that period blood is “impure and dirty” and that is a myth. It is much like any other bodily fluid – semen, saliva, vaginal lubrication, and spit. Although you must not exchange it with another for safety purposes.

If you and your partner are willing to explore this route of pleasure, you must have a conversation about your fears and boundaries and go forward only after you feel comfortable. However, there is nothing shameful about period blood; it is a misogynist narrative dished out by our society, so that shouldn’t be the reason you stay away.

Be Gentle

During menstruation, you might feel lazy or lethargic. You could even be experiencing cramps. Therefore, the best way to enjoy period sex is to go slow and be gentle.

When a woman bleeds, their cervix becomes hard and sits lower in the vagina than the rest of the days in a month.

Hence, penetrative sex can either feel amazing or cause slight pain. Whichever feeling you experience, it will only be heightened. You must be the one choosing the pace and deciding what works for you.

Pick The Right Position

This is a tip not just for period sex but for all your sexual exploits. You must pick a position that keeps you comfortable and helps you enjoy your intimate time. If penetrative sex does not seem comfortable, you can also opt for other options, like anal sex (only if that is something you are comfortable with and enjoy, not all women do and that is perfectly okay).

Mutual Masturbation Is The Key

Sex is not just about penetration, it is about pleasure. There is no zenith to what you can explore if you and your partner are open to discussion. From fingering to pleasure toys, there are multiple ways you can achieve the big O without making it uncomfortable and messy.

Mutual masturbation is the key to enjoying periods without getting your inhibitions in the way of achieving orgasm.

Other things to improve your sexual experience, are using a dark-coloured towel to lie on, to absorb any spillover blood. You may also try shower sex, as it will wash away any mess that could otherwise make you aware of your periods.
