Period Sex?! Here’s the Real Deal: Mess, Magic, and Myths

Apr 2, 2025

Let’s say it out loud: yes, people have sex during their period. Some love it. Some skip it. Both are totally valid. But if you’ve ever been quietly curious (or just wondering if it’s weird), you’re not alone.

Spoiler: it’s not weird. It’s not dirty. It’s not “too much.”
And when done with care, it can actually be grounding, intimate, and even… healing.

💫 The Benefits Nobody Talks About

This isn’t just a “some people like it” thing. There’s actual science behind why your body might crave it and why it can feel extra good during this phase.

  • Orgasms can help relieve cramps by triggering feel-good endorphins and soft uterine contractions

  • More natural lubrication often means more comfort and better sensation

  • Oxytocin (the bonding hormone) is released during sex, helping ease PMS moodiness and anxiety

Your body isn’t gross. It’s brilliant. And this can be one of the most soothing, connected ways to show it some love.

🛁 Tips to Keep It Comfy (and Clean-ish)

You don’t need to be a pro. You just need a little intention.

  • Shower sex? Great for easy cleanup

  • Prefer the bed? Dark towel, wipes nearby, and you’re golden

  • Use lube if needed, your cervix might sit lower, so go slow and check in with how you feel

  • Choose positions that feel grounded and cozy (spooning is the unsung hero of period sex)

This is your body’s most sensitive moment, handle it with love, not urgency.

💬 Consent, Boundaries & Checking In

The real magic of period sex? Feeling safe, supported, and in charge of your yes.

  • Talk before. Talk during. Talk after, especially if it’s new

  • Your yes can shift. Your no can show up mid-moment.

  • There’s no “supposed to” just what feels right, right now

Your period doesn’t cancel consent, it just makes communication even more important.

🌸 Your Body Isn’t Off-Limits

Your cycle doesn’t make you dirty, broken, or untouchable.
Period sex doesn’t need to be taboo, it’s just another part of being beautifully human.

Whether you’re feeling curious or cautious, the choice is always yours.
There’s no right way to feel about it, just your way.

So listen in. Feel it out. And if it feels good, let it be good.
Because pleasure isn’t canceled just because your period showed up.
