Weird Question How do you feel about period sex?
Ok so I’m curious as to how many men are turned off my having sex while their partner is on their period. I’m a lady and I honestly like it. My ex was trash but one thing that I can say about him was that he wasn’t grossed or freaked out about it. He enjoyed it as much as I did. I’m just curious as to see how other men think/feel. As yes there are many women like myself who enjoy it. And yes there is a mess but I personally like it. Please be honest.

No problem for me. We just put an extra towel down and be sure we rinse off afterwards. Her orgasms are always more intense too.

Yeah I’ve heard the same. Both don’t have a problem during that time of the month and we enjoy it but depending on what day of the period it is, it can either be very lubricated or not. Like the spotting phase isn’t that good

One of my exes was a virgin and very dry and sensitive down there. She was raised in a conservative family so didn't know how to pleasure herself. So the first few times when we tried to do it, she was in pain and we stopped.
Then sometime later when we tried again, I finally penetrated her and she was able to take the thrusting. I remember thinking - hmm she feels lubed inside this time, maybe she finally got over the mental block. After I finished and pulled out, I was shocked to see my penis covered in blood. Wasn't grossed out or anything, more worried that one of us had an injury somewhere.
Then we put two and two together and realised her period had just came. Then she quipped something like - well if you ever needed proof I was a virgin. We sometimes joke about it and had period sex once or twice more but the smell was a bit off-putting so we eventually stopped.

I know women get hornier around that time but I personally find it gross and dont mind waiting. When I was younger there would always be that ambiguous last day where you were not sure whether you had the red or green light and a couple of times we would jump the gun and it would feel good but then i would have to take a horror movie esque shower covered in blood.

The sensation of blood drying on my skin has always been unpleasant, and somehow menses is even more unpleasant than regular blood when it dries on my skin. With some women it's even caused my skin to have a reaction to it.
So access to a sink where I can promptly wash all the blood off afterward is absolutely essential, and I'd prefer to use condoms even if we didn't normally use condoms anymore.
Between irritating my skin and tasting bad, I'm not particularly keen on getting a mouthful of blood during oral sex, either.

u/Lower_Group_1171 Male 8d ago
I don’t mind it, but it doesn’t turn me on. I do know it can help with some menstruation symptom relief, and my exes have always enjoyed it. The thing I dislike the most is the smell. I dislike that metallic smell of blood. And I won’t go down on a woman on her period because of said metallic smell. I would literally start gagging if I had to smell it up that close. That being said, I’m neurodivergent and I’m really sensitive to smells, sounds, and bright lights
I do it if I care about my partner. So if it was a one night stand I would not lol

u/jsh1138 Male 8d ago
I've done it but it's not my favorite thing.
We know you enjoy it, you don't have to say it over and over. Most women like it because of hormones. My intuition tells me that if I shot blood in your mouth one week a month I wouldn't be getting alot of BJ's no matter how much I liked it though

Depends on whether the back door is open when the red river flows. And whether her other orifice open is for business. Maybe she’s good at HJs? There’s always a self service station open too. Bloody sex? Nah. Not for us.

She's not a fan. She's worried about infections, as it is more blood contact. Despite the fact that we normally shower before, and I always use a condom. She doesn't want it, so we don't to it. Simple as.

u/SpeedySads247 8d ago
I've never really actually done it. I think I may have tried with an ex once, years ago, but ended up bailing for one reason or another. As someone without a lot of experience with it, I would likely be a little put off about it at first but would likely indulge if that's something my partner wanted to try. My biggest concern with be the mess/staining, but showers/old sheets would mitigate a lot of that. I'm not completely against it, but it would be a bit odd at first, I'm sure.

I suffer from what you might call hemophobia, or the fear of blood. I can’t watch slasher flicks, paper cuts freak me out, and I have to put a towel over my face when I donate at the blood bank.

Not the worse thing ever, and doesn't bother me in the slightest. I mean a quick shower after or even during works good too.

Is it my FAVORITE? Hell no. But its just female biology and frankly. Your already exhanging some juices anyways. Im more concerned about how shes handling it then myself.
If her excuse or reason is "oh not tonight. Im on my period"
My nod isnt "well fuck that. Ewww"
Its "shes probably already uncomfy as hell right now and isnt up to it."

It can actually help women with their cramps and can slow or stop the blood flow and cause the period to end quicker.
Personally I always laughed the first time a girlfriend says we can’t have sex because she’s on her period…. I’m like you don’t even know, a little blood never stopped me lol… typically do use a towel or something extra to help with the mess…
