1. Some women have a greater need for intercourse during period

Many women enjoy the intercourse during period even more than usual because the increased circulation in the womb makes the woman more aroused. During the period hormonal changes appear and a lot of women feel an even greater need for intercourse.

The conviction that intercourse during period is risky and that it is best to wait until it is over is not true - but the effect of our conviction may be that we want intercourse even more badly. Besides, the vagina is moist all of the time during period and the penetration is easier, which gives greater pleasure to men, too.

Maybe you will discover you can have a wilder intercourse with less foreplay during the period, which will also suit those men who need less stimulation before and during intercourse.

2. Intercourse during period eases the pain

Uncomfortable cramps and tension in the abdomen can be eased with an orgasm, which helps with all kinds of pain. On the other hand, some women feel such severe pain during intercourse that you will have to be even more careful and gentle or even wait for the most severe cramps to pass.

Intercourse also relaxes vaginal muscles and when you reach an orgasm the hormones of happiness are produced. The intercourse during period is also supposed to reduce the length of period.

3. Intercourse during period connects the couple

If a woman has a long period, for example a whole week, this can be quite a long period of time for couples who are used to regular sexual intercourse. Use this time to experience with new sexual positions and foreplay that you do not practice very often otherwise. Especially during first days of period when the bleeding is strong, try other types of sexual games. For example do it between the breasts or try out new techniques of hand and oral stimulation. Tease each other only with kissing and touching for a few days, and have intercourse when the period becomes weaker.

If you are disgusted by intercourse during period, let you woman know that she is still desired and satisfy her in some other way, for example have intercourse in the shower.

4. Intercourse during period decreases the chance of getting pregnant

Intercourse during period is less risky for getting pregnant, which does not mean that the risk does not exist. The biggest risk for getting pregnant is during ovulation, which is the time between the periods, or more exactly, if you add 12-16 days to the first day of the beginning of the period.

Most women are therefore not ovulating during menstruation and there is little chance of getting pregnant but you should still use protection.
