Whether you find the idea of se.x during
your
period gross or exciting is up to you.
Perhaps
colored by society – many cultures and
religions
consider it taboo – we shy away from even
talking about it. But as long as you’re
prepared,
s.ex during your period can be a great idea;
just
make sure it’s not the day you break out
those
white sheets!
1. It helps relieve cramps.
There’s no reason to stop having s-x just
because you have your period. In fact, it’s a
great
timeto have it. “The biochemical released
in your
system will help alleviate cramping and
aches.
S-x is a natural pain reliever and can lessen
pain
symptoms up to 70%!” says love and s-x
2. It acts as an anti-depressant.
“Furthermore, according to Paul Zak, PhD,
a
researcher at Claremont Graduate University
in
Claremont, California, the higher your
oxytocin,
the higher your happiness and well-being,
at least
for women.
3. It increases intimacy.
Don’t feel awkward about the mess, s-x is
messy (in general!) and for some couples
overcoming the mess and breaking down the
barriers can lead to increased intimacy and
enjoyment, helping you feel closer to your
partner,
4. There’s less risk of getting pregnant.
Does decreased risk of pregnancy turn you
on?
Well, check this out: If you’re trying to
avoid
pregnancy, having s-x during the menstrual
period drastically diminishes the possibility
of
pregnancy. “However, remember that is not
a
100% proof and sperm can live up to 72
hours. So
if you have s-x during your last day of your
period without protection the possibility of
getting
pregnant is even higher.
5. The s-x is hotter.
Your hormones are out of control this time
of
month, and as messy as your period may
be, it
leads to extra lubrication, better pelvic
muscle
tone and increased elasticity – all spelling
way
more fun in the sack, says Dr. Susan Lin,
an
obstetrics gynecological surgeon and
