Reading through the posts I've noticed quite a few women saying that anal is a great alternative when they're menstruating - I find this bizarre as if you and your partner are happy with practicing anal sex then why go prudish about vaginal intercourse when menstruating?
Me and my BF both enjoy making love when I'm menstruating - I get hyper sensitive and horny as hell during that time and chatting to my close mates about it they said they did too. We've had some really intense sex during this time..
I realise a lot of guys feel squeamish about this but the more I thought about it the more I didn't get it - so I just came straight out with my thoughts to my BF one day and said "ok so you don't mind the potential messyness etc involved with anal but you get shy about a bit of blood - what's that about?" and when he thought about it he agreed and we tried it and haven't looked back since
Infact instead of thinking of it as "the curse" it's now become just another part of our sex lives..lol
Obviously it's all about what your both comfortable with but why rule it out? Next time your heading that way cos your menstruating..maybe give it a thought..and as with everything - hygiene and protection is a must! On that note I've noticed something quite cool happens when I get really turned on, my natural lubricant seems to take over and stops the other fluid temporarily anyway so it actually isn't as messy as you think it'll be
Be really interested to hear thoughts of other couples that have sex during menstruation too!
