    Sex during periods may be avoided in the interest of health please.

    Yes, it is okay. Some girls/ guys just prefer not to because of the mess that it can cause. Actually sex can help to relieve menstrual cramps, so I would say if you and your partner are okay with it go right ahead. It doesn't bother me to and there is actually nothing wrong with it.

    It just increases the risk of bacteria getting in there. Use a condom and you will be fine. Having sex during your period can also reduce cramps, so as long as you and your partner are both ok with it, go for it!

    From a Medical stand-point...yes. There is nothing that will prevent you from having intercourse while on your Menses. From a woman stand- point...it's a little messy, try it in the shower. From a man's stand-point...some of them actually really enjoy it. In essence what it all boils down to, is if you are comfortable having sex. What ever choice you make..make sure that it is the right choice for U.

    Yeah it's completely fine and sometimes will feel better for the girl. It just may get a little messy and still remember to have protected sex so no babies will start growing ha.

    Yeah it's perfectly okay.

    Just put a towel underneath of you or something.

    If your guy is mature enough to handle it and is okay with it, then go for it. It relieves the cramps too.

    It's just a little messy.

    Yes. I did it before like once or twice.

    Its not really all that messy. Its like, the blood stops flowing or something.

    But use a condom still, and be safe!

    yeah it is, but if i were you, before you have sex, stick a tampon in and kinda clean it out, then have sex, itll kinda be a little bit less messier,

    BUT,

    if you just got off your period and you have sex a day after its over, then itll probably bleed.

    There is nothing unhealthy about it but don't make the mistake of thinking u can't still get pregnant you can.

    Yeah, it is completely okay. And it helps get rid of cramps, too!
