Period s*x is like pizza. If you want it, have it. If you don't want it, don't have it.
Sometimes though, even though we want pizza (code- period s*x), we don't order any. Here's the thing, for some people, s*xual desire and arousal doesn't switch off when we menstruate and for others it does! It's all completely normal. And it's normal for it to change over time.
Same rules apply for period s*x as any other s*xual activity:
- Concerned your partner/s won't be into period s*x? Just ask them.
- Feeling aroused, but not wanting to have s*x is totally ok. Ma********on is great, or ask your partner/s for an intimate massage, oral s*x, or non-s*xual touch instead.
- If you don't want to have s*x on your period. Don't do it. Period.
And as a sneaky bonus, the dopamine that is released during an or**sm has been shown to lessen pain, and can help with uterine cramping.
