Women shouldn’t assume their partner will be grossed out by their period. In fact, it’s often the person who’s menstruating who puts a stop to s.ex, not her other half, Ford says.
Every couple is different, and some people will be more open to it than others. If you’re curious what your partner might think, however, don’t spring it on him or her in the heat of the moment—bring it up before things get hot and heavy. “Good communication can lead to great s.ex at any time during the month,” she says.
You can minimize the mess
Wearing a menstrual cup or a female condom can help reduce the amount of blood that might come out during intercourse, Ford says. If you’re not comfortable using one of them, even a regular condom can make cleanup easier—for your partner, at least. Having s.ex in the missionary position, with the woman on her back, can also limit blood flow (thanks, gravity!), as can having s.ex toward the end of your period, when your flow is lighter.
You’ve got options
If you’re not into intercourse during your p3riod, there’s no reason you can’t still enjoy other sexual encounters (mess free!). “She can wear a tampon and the focus can be on the clitoris,” says Ford, and she can still help her partner orgasm with manual or oral stimulation.
