I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. YOU GET TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, the decision is up to you. If you just don’t feel like it, don’t do it. It’s normal not to feel like dancing in a white bikini when you have your period. Let me guess, you feel bloated, irritable, and tired when you have your period? Just a few of many common PMS symptoms. Know that you don’t look any different. I have never looked at a friend and thought, “she looks like she’s on her period.” But, having sex while on your period is perfectly fine, common and can be fun, so let’s at least entertain the thought. Men don’t mind, why should we? Period blood does not have any odor, and for some, libido or sex drive increases during menses. Explore your options and choose to do what makes you happy! Always practice safe sex and use birth control. Discuss your thoughts and feelings with your boyfriend to help him understand what you experience when you have your period.
Remember, all intimacy does not have to lead to intercourse. There are many other ways to spend some physical bonding time.
