Sex during a period can be a big no for some people and their partners. However, sex during the period can improve period cramps and mood swings. We have found 5 reasons a person should have sex during their period.

1. Sex during your period could relieve menstrual cramps

Menstrual cramps are so common but annoying. Any woman would be happy to just skip the entire menstrual cramps thing altogether. Well, you know what?

Having sex during your period might just as well relieve some of these symptoms. But how does sex during menstruation helps relieve the cramps?

Well, according to an article on the Healthline website, cramps arise as a result on intense uterine constriction as it shed the lining.

When you have sex culminating to orgasm during this time, the spasm helps to rapidly shed off the lining, thus overcoming the pain associated by its slow peel.

It all boils down to orgasm and the hormones your body produces after having an orgasm.

Your brain begins to produce hormones that act as a pain reliever after an orgasm. Dopamine and serotonin are both responsible for making you feel good and more capable of handling stress and pain.

With that said, you will generally feel a lot better both mentally and physically if you have sex during your period.

Well, since you will be bleeding, don’t forget to use a towel to put under your pelvis to catch any dripping blood. Don’t worry, you don’t actually bleed that much during the entire session.

2. Your sex drive is higher

One advantage to having sex during your period is the ability to actually enjoy it more. This is because you have a much higher sex drive (or libido) during the week leading to your period.

Sometimes, this sex drive does stay well until your period is finished. During this time, many women feel a stronger urge to engage in sexual activity. They feel hornier and desperately need to channel that energy out.

Experts still can’t agree as to why this happens in women just before menstruation and, for some, during menstruation.

Some believe it is because your body knows that you are less likely to get pregnant during this time, so your body seeks more pleasure.

But that is still just an expert guess. If you do decide to have sex on your period though, make sure to still use protection because sperm can live in your vagina for up to 7 days.

3. Lubrication is not a problem

Sometimes, a lack of natural lubrication is a real meddler in your sex life. Your enjoyment can be reduced because your vagina is not wet enough and it stays like that for a long time.

Well, sex during your period will eliminate all of that issue for good. You will be glad to know that the blood you shed during a period can also act as natural lubrication. You will not have any problems with getting wet at a short notice.

The outflow offers natural lubricant which is safe. The discharged blood is warm, with perfect viscosity.

Hence it doesn’t portend any abrasive effect on the condom, hereby eliminating the risk of rapturing this protection.

According to an article on the Health website, this reduces friction, while enhancing sexual enjoyment.

However, if you are bleeding a lot on that day, you may feel that you are too wet. Some women (with their partners, too) may not mind this and can still have a good time.

However, some women (also with their partner) may feel that their vagina is too wet and that they don't really feel the pressure from the penis. Well, it works for some and not for others.

4. You can actually have shower sex comfortably

Another thing about not having to worry about lubrication: shower sex. A lot of people find shower sex really hot, but sometimes, the problem relies on lubrication.

Men like shower sex and have no problems with it, but women experience it differently. When in the shower, the water easily removes a woman’s natural lubrication which then may disturb her pleasure.

So, if you are a woman who also enjoys shower sex, do it when you are on your period. You will find that the constant blood and liquid that comes out of your vagina work really well to keep you lubricated.

On top of that, there is no worry about creating a mess when your blood is dripping. You are in the shower anyway and there’s always water to clean you with.

With that said, shower sex during your period seems to be the best course of action you can take when you’re in the mood.

5. Better chance to orgasm

Sex during your period is said to increase your chance of reaching an orgasm. This may actually depend on the woman and how well a guy actually plays, though.

But, let it be known that the existence of natural lubrication, topped with a higher level of sex drive, should indeed make a lot of women more relaxed during sex.

As you should already know, the big O is something that usually comes when a woman is in a relaxed state.

During the menstruation phase, you release more feel good hormones. These have positive effects improving your sexuality.

The hormones improve your sleeping pattern, and relieve your stress. Besides, according to a publication on the Medical News Today, the secretion also enhances sexual urge and strengthen the immune system

 All these boost the odds of orgasming.

Sex experts will tell you that reaching orgasm is all about being able to enjoy the session and then releasing tension at the end. If you can do this, then orgasms are yours—yes, even multiple orgasms.

So, to make yourself feel more comfortable, don't forget to get clean, smell nice, and prepare a clean towel to catch any blood that drips during your sensual lovemaking.

In conclusion, period sex is not something people like to discuss, even if they do it. The reasons provided can help people realize the fun they are missing, and then they can decide if they should have sex during their period.
