Is it okay for sex during your period?

I am currently on day 3 of my period, and I was wondering if it's safe to have sex or if it's better just to wait until my menstrual cycle is over.

    It's perfectly safe, just a little messy. If you're both alright with that then it's open game.

    It is perfectly safe. If you are on birth control pills, patch, or the ring, you are protected during your period week, too. If you use condoms, you should use one now. You can still get pregnant, though it isn't likely. Advice - I would lay an old towel or sheet down on the bed and stay in missionary to keep as much in as possible. If you are comfortable with the idea, do it in the shower for the easiest clean up. A lot of women are hornier on their periods, and orgasm can help with cramps. Some women are really uncomfortable trying it, but it usually isn't that messy unless it is your heaviest day. And mature guys don't care, either.

    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.

    Although its not everyone's idea of a good time, yes you can engage in sexual intercourse during your period. However, have him wear protection b/c although the chance is slim, you can still become pregnant. Other than that, it is just very messy and if he gets queazy at the sight of blood you might just want to skip this experience. You can always choose to pleasure yourself (masturbate), this is especially helpful if you want relief from your cramps. Whatever you decide just play it safe. Take care.

    It is safe, it will just be a big mess if you don't have a towel underneath you. or you can do it in the shower, plus, I heard sex during your period will help cramps go away.
