What Do Men Think About Sex During Your Period?

Do guys think menstrual sex is gross or just fine?

Women bleed for a week each month and yet somehow, we've been branded the more squeamish sex. Go figure. But while we've been on intimate terms with menstruation since we were 12, men aren't always used to getting so up close and personal. So when we have our "monthly visitor," can we count on our guys to help us entertain? We asked men: "What do you think about having sex during a woman's period?"

"With a condom, I say fine. No babies."
--John, 32, Professor

"If I'm drunk, whatever."
--Adam, 28, Carpenter

"I have absolutely no problem with it, and every woman I've ever been with has been shocked about that."
--Marc, 38, Child psychologist

"Put a towel down and go to town."
--Andy, 32, Police Officer

"Hell no! It's natural and fine, but it's still blood."
--John, 36, Actor

Ok it's fine, but you might try a different position. My lady is a heavy flow type. so during the 1st day or so we do it dog style. She came up with this as she said that during her period she noticed I was firmer and a bit larger. Plus she said that in the lay on back style it felt like I was trying to push out her internal parts. She just figured it was a guy thing of which happens. so she came up with doggie style, which allows her to control a lot of the depth and motion. I like it as I can hold on to her hips gently or else lean over and enjoy her other body parts. We also found that during sex she would often flow heavy, so by placing a towel under us any extra flow would fall harmlessly on the towels. She also says that usually after theh2nd day or so cramps slow or stop and she can then arrange herself so Iam sliding back and forth on that top spot of her that she likes massaged. ( seems the angle changes and that creates a plesant spot for her. We often enjoy her time, and she has called me on the phone before and told me to get the ell home as she was on and needed my attention. ( she doesn't like to say Horny for some reason. )

LOL It's that time right now for me and this whole weekend we've been getting it on. My man is completely fine w/ it after the 1st couple days when its the heaviest time. I know he likes this time too cuz he knows he'll get some head action going on lol.

Also, I have noticed that when I drink my period comes to a hault. Is that so for other people too? I like it though cuz I get to get freaky and not worry about the mess.

I also think it's best in the shower that way everything just gets washed away. ;o)

Oh God, That Andy guy hit the spot... Thats exactly what my husband said to me the first time we did anything on our wedding night. My cycle came a week early and he told me to "Put the towel down, Im going to town. I didnt wait all this time for nothing, its just extra lubricated." Creeped me out but as long as he enjoys himself.

I wonder if this is really representative of all men, though. It seems to me that men might not want to admit that they don't like. I'd like to see some kind of anonymous survey or poll.

I may be wrong but it seems to me that men are far less turned off by the idea than women themselves are.

The first time I had my period with my new guy, I asked ahead of time, if he was cool with it. He told me that it never stopped him before. So I was prepared with a towel. What I wasn't prepared for is that he had no inhibitions of going down on me....first lover who was willing to do that. It was hot, animalistic and very erotic. I hate to wait....now I don't have to! This guy is a keeper, in all aspects of the relationship.

Interestingly I have never come across a guy that didn't mind. I mean the first 2 days when I'm bloated, bitchy, and totally flowing I may not be in the mood, and he's knows better to just stay away or feel my wrath! But after that I get super horney, and I thinks thats a turn on. Just have a towel, or some papertowels handy and your all good.

When my boyfriend and I decided to start having sex we talked about our likes, dislikes, and what we'd like to do and not do. I mentioned that one week out of the month would be the ONLY time we'd not be having sex he was actually appalled.He was like there are so many other ways to have sex than vaginally and I'm like well duh. I'm 44 and I didn't get this far in life by not having only experienced missionary. I have to say the sex is exceptional.

I think I is fine! Well I did not think that way all the time. It wasn't until I met my Boyfriend of two years. He was like its fine it just a little blood. At first I thought he was disqusting. But now if we both want it and cant wait a week, we take it to the showers. Only thing I will not let him do is go down, when I am on it. I tell him he is not a vampire.

I personally agree with Andy. I mean just put a towl down and go to town. At first i found this idea to be sort of "nasty" but then again, I was surprised when my boyfriend was the one who offered to have sex during my monthly period. The wasy i see it, sex is sex and what guy is goin to turn that down. specially i believe that when u really love that girl, u dont think about all those effects or "nasty moments". I say it from experience.

I think women taste better on the dot. I kinda like the extra odor too, really. you lick the clit not the hole, no blood there. Why the condom? afraid of a little body fluid? if your out of towels the shower is a good place too.

Fyne@sWine That's so nasty to have sex during your period. The woman body should be cleansed therefore sex is not meant to be having during menustral cycle. THe woman body also puts off a odor during that time it's meant to just stay sexless.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that most of the men had no problem with it. If I want to be with you, and I'm on my period, I want to be with you....LOL...I might not try it the first few times with a new lover but I am so overly sensitive during that time that I usually find the sex to be even better. Andy got it right, "Put down a towel and go to town!"....however, I will never allow oral sex during that time. As soon as it's over though, it's on!! LOL
