Since high school, I’ve heard discussions among women about the heightened desire that often occurs just before their period. That surge in libido can be overwhelming, making us feel like we might just drop everything for a little intimate fun at the mere sight of anything remotely sexual. I once found myself getting all worked up over a cleaning commercial—no shame in that!
While not every woman experiences this kind of horniness during her menstrual cycle—because we’re all unique—Dr. Mia Chen, an OB/GYN in New York, explains that increased blood flow to the pelvic area can enhance sensitivity, leading to more intense orgasms.
However, let’s face it: period sex comes with its own set of challenges. The messiness is often a mood killer, especially when you have to pause to remove a tampon or diva cup and then find a towel to lay down.
Despite these hurdles, period sex is absolutely normal and can even be quite pleasurable for many women. Feeling awkward about bringing it up shouldn’t stop you from enjoying those intense orgasms. Interestingly, menstrual blood can serve as a natural lubricant, which could enhance the experience for both partners. Plus, orgasms can help alleviate menstrual cramps—so why not have two?
It’s important to note that while there’s a common misconception that you can’t get pregnant during your period, that’s not the case. So, it’s wise to discuss your desires with your partner beforehand, perhaps starting the conversation with something like, “Hey, it’s that time of the month, but I’m in the mood—are you up for it?” This way, both of you know what to expect.
Some couples find they don’t mind the mess because showering together afterward can be a fun and intimate experience. Plus, taking care of cleanup is easier if you choose to get it on in the shower or bath.
Many women feel they shouldn’t want sex while menstruating, or they worry their partners might see it as “dirty.” But if you’re someone who craves intimacy during your period, open up to your partner about it. You might be surprised at how receptive they are.
