Can you have sex on your period?

About this episode

Getting intimate while you or your partner are menstruating isn’t always straightforward. Still, the idea of period sex has gradually become less and less of a taboo over time. OK, it is potentially messy, but there’s nothing inherently wrong or unsafe with it. And if you’re in the mood for sex, it’s kind of a shame to miss out for that reason alone.  Most importantly, both partners need to be fully on board. No one, female or male, should feel pressured or forced into it. Some people simply see period sex as unpleasant or messy, and if that’s the case, there’s no point trying to convince them on the spot, as it’ll likely only end up being a negative experience.
