We never did this until ...well.. .a few years ago... I felt like I was going to die waiting that long (yes I am exaggerating).... I was never one to get many cramps... husband had no issues with it , he'd just tell me to get the red towel....we just avoid the HEAVY day(s)... but a little flow...
..he was happy to give it to me.
I just wouldn't allow him to look afterwards while I went & cleaned him up.
Kinda gross I suppose but I was thrilled - he was into it. Besides the Red, and well a little more lubrication than normal, it never affected me at all, didn't make anything heavier or more crampy.
SA, you are lucky. The cramping is so intense. It's very hard to refrain when your drive is so high. :/
We use black towels. I'm afraid of washing red towels in the laundry of the color leaking all over everything. Men's pink undershirts, socks and underwear crack me up! We had red flannel sheets once that bled the entire laundry.
My husband and I still had sex when I was on my period(pregnant now, but if I wasn't we'd still go at it). We'd just use a towel or do the deed in the shower(less messy). I have endometriosis, so I know all about horrible cramps. Typically during that time of the month, I had to be the one to take the lead as to control depth and what not to avoid painful cramping. In the end though, sex really helped with the painful cramps and I would feel so much better after.
Yes, we still do. I am the opposite of you though, sex and orgasms helps alleviate some of the cramps.
Never had any issues, and it doesn't bother the H. My breasts get hyper sensitive though, so I did have to explain to him to be extremely gentle, or its painful.
Same here... just turned 50, and TOM means HIGH DRIVE for me! There is one icky crampy day.... but all the rest are GAME ON! Red towels.... yep. If he's not turned off (and H sure isn't)...then I'm there!
I know how odd this must sound to the majority of men out there, but my husband would choose rag
over a voluptuous BJ ...sure he loves them & gets at least 1 during that time frame -but he wants me to get mine ....this makes him happiest. I kinda love that about him though !!
We do it. One of the many things I love about my husband is that he's not grossed out by the mess. I can see why a man would be grossed out, I think I would be if I didn't have to deal with it every month anyways.
We enjoy it quite a lot and no one should let the “mess” factor deter them. You just need to be a little more careful. We draw the line at oral however.
Same as some of the guys above. I never had a problem with it ... Just kept a towel handy and the stbxw loved it as she was extra sensitive during that time.
2-edged sword, when I have the choice for sex, that is.
I don't cramp, but right before I start I am .... well, you know, "muy intersada."
So if I can catch it before the initial flood, sure, but not during, my body likes to get it all over with at once, after an 8-hour slow start.
My wife and I would all the time. It was nice because that would be the only time we would not worry about getting pregnant. She said it was not as good as usual, but she still enjoyed it.
Wife doesn't have periods anymore. But when she did have them, she was a little embarrassed about it, but I assured her it wasn't gross to me at all...an it worked out great.
The blood doesn't bother me, but if it was anal the poop factor would
We don't do anything intimate during those days. The kiss goodbye that happens sometimes is still there, but nothing else. I can usually see it coming based on her attitude the couple days before.
We have before but I have more of a problem with it than my husband does. Which is crazy because after the first two days I'm more in the mood than usual. It's probably just a mental block for me.
No, not us. I have a really, really heavy flow though, and I just feel all sore in the uterus. I could just imagine my H throwing up if he found a giant clot on his, um, member. It just isn't a good idea for us.
We generally did it unless super heavy. A towel and an understanding it won't be frowned upon if one runs to shower sooner the normally acceptable.
When the menopause set in she wanted nothing to do with it. More mental than anything and has to do with her not liking tampons (they hurt) anymore. We were so close, her first period in 2012 was in September.
We did once or twice, but my husband is uncomfortable with it, because he's scared of hurting me. I would say, do whatever you feel comfortable with. I don't think there's anything unhealthy about it...not sure though.
If you hurt and it increases cramps, etc, then definitely don't do it! Just go with "the flow" lol. Sorry, couldn't resist.
Yes... I actually really like sex when aunt flo was visiting.... she passed away some time ago. But when she was a regular visitor.. yes.
I found that it alleviated the symptoms of PMS. I had told my husband about this so when the time came I would just tell him I needed my monthly fix… and he was more than glad to help out… such a nice, selfless guy
Hmm I never do it during a period until the very end when there is virtually no bleeding. For me it didnt make things wetter, in fact it increased the friction. Just as with another poster I too have very heavy flows and clots during that time. Posted via Mobile Device
