It is safe to have sex during periods. However, there are some things to consider:
-
Pregnancy: It is possible to get pregnant during periods, especially if a girl has a shorter menstrual cycle (21 to 24 days) and has sex.
-
Messiness: Period sex can be a bit messy, which may make some people feel self-conscious.
-
Infection risk: There is a risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections (STIs) during period sex, especially if there is blood involved. Using condoms every time you have sex can reduce your risk of transmitting and contracting STIs.
-
Relief from cramps: Having an orgasm during period sex can bring some relief from period cramps.
If you decide to have sex during periods, it is important to communicate with your partner and take necessary precautions to reduce the risk of pregnancy and STIs.
