Hubby was never "grossed out" by my bleeding and sex really helps with cramps, so we always just laid a towel down and went for it. A friend of mine recently confided that her husband wanted to have sex while she was bleeding, and it totally freaked her out.
Any other ladies out there with husbands that still want to have sex during their period? How do you deal with the mess? Am I crazy or is my friend? lol
Thanks, mamas!
Thank you mamas for your answers! I can see how some couples would find it less desirable, so I don't fault my friend. I had just never realized that so many couples *didn't* make love during that time. Learn something new everyday!
That said, my friend (she's here with me now :) says that maybe it won't be so bad and she'll give it a go.
Thanks, Joy P for the link to the other posters question. I guess I missed that just yesterday!
this question was up here the other day, funny.
Nope, it never slows us down. it doesnt gross my husband out. I like what another mom said, yeah they see us give birth, not much can be worse than that.
It doesn't bother my hubby really. Normally we don't have sex when I'm on my period but he is on 3rd shift now so with my day schedule and his sleep schedule, we are limited to the weekends for the most part if for the deep, intimate love making romp. So with that, he doesn't care if I'm bleeding or not and I'll just toss a towel under me and we'll both just jump in the shower together afterwards or just start off in the shower and not have to worry about any messes.
I used to think it was gross until I got older and realized is can enhance the experience :)
S.
Some girls don't feel comfy with it. To each their own. It doesn't affect my sex life with my guy, we just have shower time, or shower after.
I used to think it was absolutely gross but it never was as "messy" as I thought it was going to be, so I started not to mind it.
Hope this helps.
Not a problem for me or my hubs :) We each just shower afterwards :)
We have a friend who actually enjoys "going down" on his wife while she's on her period. So, of course we now call him Edward...
I don't have sex when I'm on my period because *I* don't want to.
I certainly know there are couples who are fine with/into it, but it's not for me. I don't think it's freaky or crazy to do either. It's simply what works for each of us (and our partners).
For me, being on my menses is a time of rest (as much as is possible w/ two toddlers) and reflection.
I've done it. He saw me give birth. He is cool with a little blood. haha.
Never worried about it. I didn't know there were still people who didn't during their periods :)
Put a towel down.
Some people don't like it -- IMO most guys don't care.
The Native American Indians consider it sacred to have 'natural relations' during menses.
The only issue is the extra clean up....so we have done it in the shower or with a towel...Your friend needs to relax and be more creative.
My hubby doesn't like having sex while I'm on my period...so I use Instead Soft Cups and now he's not weirded out and there's no mess!
Totally not into it. :)
I no longer have periods, but when I did, we just threw a towel on the bed and went for it.
I think someone asked this question recently. I dont have any problems with it. I prefer after the 1st day or two. But.... would do it any day of the period. I think a lot of men like it during the period. It makes me feel like he loves each and every gross part of me....lol!!
No No No No No and No Way. totally gross
It is a bit uncomfortable for me I guess...... never asked my hubby what he thought. hmmmmmmm - dinner conversation I guess on our next date night.
me and my husband do and it doesnt bother either one of us. And we also just lay a towel down under me and im usually light so i didnt have to worry about a mess.
I know a post about this was on here a few months ago, cant find the link (it's buried in there) but for my house ... that is what a shower is for, be sure that if you are having sex in the shower or any kind of water that the water itself is not too hot and that you have lube, the water tends to make it more difficult.
YIKES! I had no idea so many people were okay with it! That being said, we do it, too... but mostly in the shower. I have found as well that it DEFINITELY helps with cramps.
I can totally understand those that wouldn't feel comfortable, however- and I have NEVER discussed something like this with any of my friends. This is interesting. lol.
Someone just asked this yesterday. Here's her post along with 30 responses: http://www.mamapedia.com/questions/3598463688631255041
Not for me, thank you!
I have tried it & told him that I started already or the end of my cycle & really it is gross I have put something down not a mess afterwards like I thought but had to shower afterwards I didn't like the felling of blood going all over my legs from sex & I didn't even want to look at him afterwards.He however doesn't mind I do so it is a no go
Neither one of you are crazy, to each her own. But for me, it's a big ol' no.
My hubby sees no problem with it, but I am grossed out by it, so we don't do it. There is nothing crazy about it either way, it is all just about personal preference.
umm...wasn't this just asked a couple of days ago?
No sex during period. I feel gross and don't want to have anything to do with it. blech.
