5 Tips for Hot Menstrual Sex
Posted at 6:00 PM May 08, 2008
So, you've decided that you're going to have period sex - no, not the kind where you dress up in period costumes and then bang underneath your bustle, but the kind where the lady is menstruating. Yay for you! Here are some tips for an optimal experience.
1. Don't use gross euphemisms like "getting your red wings" - sure, having period sex for the first time is a rite of passage, but come on. Not cool.
2. A shower beforehand can help to staunch the flow a little bit, if you want to minimize the mess. Sex in the shower itself is always a good way to go, for easy clean up.
3. If you want to use a menstrual product while you're doing it to really minimize the blood, I recommend the Instead Softcup or the menstrual sponge. The sponge is 100% soft, while the cup has a hard (but flexible) edge that can sometimes be felt by the penetrating partner, depending on anatomy and positions. Both are used successfully by prostitutes who see clients while they are menstruating and don't want the guy to know about it.
4. Check out some menstrual porn: Furry Girl's Erotic Red is awesome and body positive, as is Bloody Trixie (the two models are pictured above). Stay away from the sites that fetishize menstrual products instead of celebrating the women themselves.
5. Just friggin' get messy. Self-consciousness can be an issue for the lady involved, but if you accept your period as a part of life and don't accept the idea that you should refrain from fucking for a week every month, you'll get over the ick factor. And remember: orgasms are a great way to relieve cramps. If that doesn't get you on the red sex train damn quickly, I don't know what will.
