Since the uterus is shedding its lining, orgasm can play an\nimportant role during these times to relieve the menstrual cramp. The uterine\nmuscles contract and release over time, leading to less muscle tension<strong>.<a href=\"#_ftn5\"><strong>[5]<\/strong><\/a>\nAlso, sex leads to the release of endorphins, which helps ease pain and\ndiscomfort. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Headache relief<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Different studies\nhave shown that being partially or entirely <strong>sexually active can help to ease\nthe headache<\/strong> caused due to menstruation.

Since the muscles contract, the\nuterine contents are pushed out quickly too.<a href=\"#_ftn6\">[6]<\/a>\n<strong>As a result, if you are having sex during periods, they will be much shorter\nthan the general. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Better Lubrication<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most\nprominent benefits of having sex during the period is that it allows better\nlubrication. If your <a href=\"https:\/\/gaintrial.com\/en\/vaginal-dryness-what-is-it-and-how-to-beat-it\/\">vagina\nis mostly dry<\/a> while having sex, the menstrual flow can help to enhance the\nlubrication by acting as a natural lubricant.

Not eliminating the\ntampons can lead to it being pushed into the vagina that can increase the\nchances of <strong>getting a bacterial infection<\/strong>.<a href=\"#_ftn8\">[8]<\/a>\nAlso, if the tampon goes deep into the body, you might need to call a doctor to\nget it removed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plan_ahead\"><\/span>Plan ahead<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sex during periods\ncan get extremely messy. <strong>You will surely want to avoid any such thing.<\/strong>\nHowever, if you really wish to have sex with your partner while on periods, you\nmust plan slightly from the beginning to avoid the risk of it getting messy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stick_to_lighter_days\"><\/span>Stick to lighter days<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By the third to the\nfifth day of the period, it naturally gets lighter. Rather than having sex on\nyour heavier days, you might want to consider the lighter days. The first and\nsecond days of your period can, however, get pretty messy<strong>. But, if you and\nyour partner are comfortable with it, you can surely opt for it.<a href=\"#_ftn9\"><strong>[9]<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lay_down_a_towel_and_have_tissues\"><\/span>Lay down a towel and have tissues<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are\nhaving sex on the first day or the last days of your periods, you must place a\ntowel on the sheets. This will prevent your sheets from getting dirty. <strong>Also,\nit is always safe to maintain hygiene.<a href=\"#_ftn10\"><strong>[10]<\/strong><\/a><\/strong>\nApart from that, having tissues nearby can be helpful for you to wipe yourself\noff when you are done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Go_for_shower_sex\"><\/span>Go for shower sex<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only is this\nvery seducing, but it also <strong>helps to wash off the runny flow of your periods<\/strong>.\nThe flow of running water from the shower can play an important role in washing\noff the menstrual flow. Thus, there won&#8217;t be any mess around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Go_for_missionary_sex\"><\/span>Go for missionary sex<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying on your back\nwhile on periods and having sex can help to reduce blood flow. However, deep\npenetration should be avoided because the cervix is extremely sensitive during\nthis time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, there will be a higher risk of things to start hurting.<a href=\"#_ftn11\">[11]<\/a> Take things slow and let your partner know about it. <strong>You may also want to take a look at using natural aphrodisiac like the <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gaintrial.com\/en\/all-about-spanish-fly\/\"><strong>Spanish Fly<\/strong><\/a>. It\u2019s got no side effects and offers you natural vaginal lubrication.
