Hi
Was just wondering, my boyfriend says that sex feels better when you are on your period as you are more sensitive.
Is this correct?
Also, is it dangerous to have sex while having my period and am I more likely to get pregnant?

Thanksx

It is not dangerous to have sex on your period. I have no change in sensitiveness while having sex on mine. You may be different. Maybe it might feel better to him. Most likely to not get pregnant on your period.

Its only dangerous if you have expensive linnens. Or are adverse to the sight of blood. You can still get pregnant on a period... its less likely but still completely possible so don't make any assumptions.

Yes it can be VERY messy, but I don't feel any more sensitive during "my" time.

Usually for me its less enjoyable as it is WAY to messy to have Foreplay, as well as changing positions and flopping around the bed... lol

We stopped doing that early in our marriage because it was just too much work. Wife loves taking care of me other ways during that time, and I like it so nobody suffers.

It is really messy. But when I want it, I want it. You just have to have a partner who is understanding. I don't make it a point to have sex while flo is there, it is happening less and less. It is too much to think about, too much work.

We don't generally have sex during my period either--mostly because of the mess.

Some women DO ovulate during their periods, though, so you CAN still get pregnant during your period. You should be using birth control anyway!

And Smoothy---I figure if *I* have to do without for those 5 days, then my hubby can do without for those 5 days too. At least HE doesn't have cramps on top of sexual frustration.

I never had intercourse during my period after I tried it once and found it very unpleasant. The cramping from sloughing off the uterine wall made it too unpleasant to have a penis poking around up there... hm, even a little painful.

Well, I don't badger her for that... she actually takes the initiative because she enjoys it as well. Maybe as much as me. Sometime that's what she wants to do... I always made it clear to her early on. If you are in the mood for a certain thing, just say so. If I am really in the mood for a certain thing I'll say so... otherwise I don't care and am open to anything.

No I am not the kind to sulk and mope around if I had to wait a few days.

Man is that a funny vision that you just put into my mind with that one... The vision that popped into my head was Jackie Chan in his accent chasing a woman around going suckie, suckie...

You that's the time when even my girl becomes sensitive and dreamy.. I've been wanting to have it at that time with her but it never could happen... I guess that's the time when you really want to be with you rpartner and feel them :-)

Well, since sex is driven as much by the mental side (if not more) than the physical, doing something that might "ick you out" will be a mental distraction and take away from the experience, leaving you less responsive, mentally proccupied and distracted, and the complete opposite of what he said. That said, the first girl I had sex with always seemed amped during this time and was fine with a few towels to let her get her fix. And honestly, other than the first day or so, it wasn't ever all that messy.

So... much of it comes down to your perception. If you don't like the idea of it, don't get pushed into it. If you seem to be more amped during this time, you certainly can try it out, but most I know hold back at least during the first few days.

And since I enjoy performing oral on the woman before intercourse, generally I'm fine with letting a little sexual tension build over a few days.

Your boyfriend has mentioned this to you... has there been difficulty in reaching orgasm on your side? It's a common thing, esp when young... just wondering if he is looking for ways to catch you when you are "more responsive"... my partner isn't particularly interested in sex during this time (and for reason stated, I'm less interested) but I have noticed her hormones can really kick into gear before her period, and this can make her more sexually driven.

So... is he trying to find a "better time" when you might be more responsive? Has there been some issues with you getting to the "big O"?

And is he using protection, no matter where you are in your cycle?
