We're here to make your time of the month a little less... messy. Let's dive in! Guys, explore more in Guides And Explainers and how to make period sex less messy.
Why Period Sex, You Ask?
First things first, let's clear the air. Period sex is not only possible but also enjoyable for many couples. It can be a great way to maintain intimacy, and some even find it more pleasurable due to increased blood flow down there. Plus, it's totally safe, as long as you're both comfortable and consenting.
But yes, the mess can be a bit of a turn-off. So, let's talk about how to make period sex less messy.
Timing is Everything
When it comes to period sex, timing is key. Right after your period starts, the flow is usually heaviest. As the days go by, it tapers off, making it less messy. So, consider scheduling your sexy time towards the end of your period.
Protection: More Than Just a Condom
While condoms are great for preventing unwanted pregnancies and STIs, they're not the best at containing period blood. Here are a few alternatives:
Menstrual Discs
These bad boys are inserted into the vagina and collect the blood. They're reusable, eco-friendly, and make period sex a breeze. Just remember to take them out afterwards and clean them properly.
Period-Proof Underwear
Yes, you read that right. There are underwear specifically designed to catch period blood. They're not the sexiest, but they sure are convenient.
Shower Sex
Water can help wash away the mess, making shower sex a great option. Just be careful not to slip!
Lubrication: A Girl's Best Friend
During your period, your vagina might not produce as much natural lubrication. That's where lube comes in. Use plenty of it to make things more comfortable and less messy. Just avoid oil-based lubes, as they can break down condoms.
Towel Time
If you're not feeling the protection options above, a simple towel can do the trick. Spread it out on the bed before you get down to business. Easy peasy!
Cleanliness is Next to Godliness
Afterwards, it's important to clean up properly. Warm water and mild soap should do the trick. And remember, period blood is totally normal and nothing to be ashamed of. No need for harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
Communication is Key
Lastly, talk to your partner. Let them know what you're comfortable with and what you're not. Period sex should be enjoyable for both of you, so communication is key.
Period Sex Myths Debunked
Before we wrap up, let's clear up a few myths:
- Myth: Period sex is unhygienic. As long as you clean up afterwards, it's no dirtier than sex at any other time of the month. - Myth: Period sex can't get you pregnant. While it's less likely, it's still possible. So, if you're not trying to conceive, use protection. - Myth: All women hate period sex. Everyone's different. Some women love it, some hate it, and some are indifferent. It's all about personal preference.
And there you have it, folks! Period sex doesn't have to be messy or unpleasant. With a bit of planning and the right mindset, it can be just as enjoyable as any other time of the month. So, go ahead, give it a try. You might just surprise yourself.
Until next time, stay safe, stay sexy, and happy period-ing!
