Everything You Need to Know About Sex on Your Period

No matter what kind of relationship you're in, if you have periods, the question of sex during your period has probably reared its head. It’s a love-hate situation for many, but period sex gets more of negative rap than positive, with many labelling it as ‘gross’ or ‘dirty’.

It’s normal to feel a bit squeamish or uncomfortable about sex during your period. After all, the combination of cramps, hormonal acne and bloating around that time of the month isn’t exactly a winning combination for feeling sexy. Many of us worry about the mess, too.

However, perceptions of what happens when you have sex on your period are far from the reality. You’d be surprised at just how little cleanup is needed, and it can even help reduce cramps and boost your mood!

In this blog, we’ll dive into why it’s good to have sex on your period, along with some top tips on how to have the best period sex possible, so you can make the most of your menses.

If you had asked me how many different types of orgasms there were when I was 19, I probably would have said “…there are different types?”.

Sadly, like many young women, the only type of orgasm I knew about back then was the kind I was habitually faking.

But then I bought my first sex toy, and started being more vocal about what I needed in bed, and, because of this, I’ve learnt that there are at least 12 distinct types of orgasms that women can have.

I’ve not had all of them yet, mind you. But to paraphrase my good friend 50 Cent, this year my plan is to get off or die trying.
