Sex During Periods

[denfor25]

Discuss, should you feel like it.

but what about risk of infection?

"...A woman's risk of ... infection is higher than normal during this time because the cervix opens to allow blood to pass through. Unfortunately, this creates the perfect pathway for bacteria to travel deep inside the pelvic cavity...."

Please. Everytime you kiss you are opening her mouth to the "perfect pathway for bacteria". That's what immune systems are for.

Besides, I think most animals actually *mate* when the female is menstruating. Its when they are in 'heat'. Humans are odd that way, that some avoid sex during this time. I suspect somewhere, its been called 'durty' by some strange group.

I couldn't find a good reference article, but I did find this one during my search. Enjoy:

Oh, and the tampon serves a dual purpose for oral during menses. The string can be used for flossing after.

I used to have this red Gap sweatshirt ready to be placed on the bed for that special time ... However, my first experience with it was one of those groggy moments when I woke up in the middle of the night, ready for some action ... I thought she was super turned on and then when the lights turned on ... It looked like a murder scene.

And I was reminded of this by Martin Lawrence's standup "Runteldat" ... haha almost exactly how I felt.

- certainly put a towel on the bed (although in our case it's never got stained)

Very good advice indeed.

Having baby wipes close to the bed it's a good thing to remember as well.
