OP's uterus might be trying to subtly escape her body

Well, its not being very subtle about it...

But who wants to? The smell has got to be horrible.

A period only stops a sentence. Nothing more.

I imagine that everything is very sensitive by now.

For some women, sex during a period can be really painful, and not worth the bloody mess of an aftermath.

Shower sex was invented for this situation. No mess.

an old towel works too. it's just blood. nothing too serious to stop having sex.

It's funny how many people seem to think she hasn't considered this! If she's not having sex while on her period, its probably because she doesn't want sex while on her period, not a lack of creativity.

Exactly 95. It's like people can't grasp that some women don't like having sex on their period, and that they have every right to that feeling.

Being on your period is often an uncomfortable situation and women usually don't like feeling uncomfortable while having sex. Some women don't mind it, and that's okay as well. To each their own.

When I'm on my period I'm in pretty much constant agonizing pain, between the migraines and cramps; I also cannot stand being touched. Pretty sure if a guy tried to have sex with me, I'd cut his dick off.

To each their own, sex on my period helps my cramps better than any medication I have tried. There is actually a scientific reason, something about the stimulation dulls the pain receptors. I think if she wanted to, she would still be having sex.

I wouldn't get cramps as bad as others but when I did, sex would definitely help ease the pain. btw, #40, good hygiene will keep it from smelling.

Oh yeah, good hygiene *certainly* makes blood stop smelling like blood, 163.

171, seriously? first off, period blood smells nothing like the rest of your blood. second, yes good hygiene will keep the smell away. If we don't wash down there, it will smell like fish and that's just disgusting.

@190 the IUD birth control makes your blood smell 10x as horrible. it's very different from period sex. I mean I still have sex. it even smells bad in the shower.

I'm my horniest when I'm on my period. So yes, period sex can definitely happen and be great. Sorry for tmi

Yes, and I wish! But my partner cannot stand blood and absolutely refuses to touch me at my time of the month. :(

Um how do you not freak out that you're pregnant if you don't get periods?

#25 because of the birth control

25, do you know what birth control is designed to do? (hint: it's in the name).

Lots of women's periods come with a whole bunch of exciting unsexy symptoms that water can't wash away! Period sex is super when the lady's feeling up to it, not so much when she feels like a walking bag of cramps.

I completely understand and do not argue that at all I was merely stating that as in previous relationships shower sex had often been the case when we wanted to get intimate and more often than not it was her who wanted it. I personally don't like it as water creates unpleasant friction.

Shower sex is also very dangerous if either party is clumsy.

Well...it's pretty common for it to happen up to like 6 months on a new birth control. You're supposed to try and wait it out. You definitely shouldn't give up after 3 weeks. No wonder it took you 10 different types.
