One will have a menstrual cycle around once a month during your reproductive years. Unless you're particularly sensitive, there's no need to abstain from sexual activity during your period. Period sex is safe and exciting, despite the fact that it can be a little messy. Having sex while menstruating can also provide certain benefits.
Some Benefits of Periods Sex are :
Relief from Cramps
Menstrual cramps may be relieved by orgasms. Menstrual cramps are caused by your uterus contracting in order to discharge its lining. When you have an orgasm, the muscles in your uterus contract as well. Then they let go. Period cramps should be relieved as a result of this discharge. Sex also causes the production of endorphins, which are hormones that make you feel happy. Furthermore, sexual activity diverts your attention away from your monthly discomfort.
Causes Shorter Periods
Sex may cause your periods to be shorter. Muscle spasms during an orgasm force the uterine contents out more quickly. This might lead to shorter durations.
Increases Sex Drive
Because of hormonal variations, your libido fluctuates during your menstrual cycle. While many women report an increase in sex drive during ovulation, which occurs around two weeks before your period, others report feeling more turned on throughout their period.
Acts as a Natural Lubricant
As lubricants act as a pleasant way of doing sex, but during periods one does not requires lubricants. The blood during periods acts as a natural lubricant during sex.
Might Relieve your Headache
It is generally known that women experience headaches at the time of periods which is often termed as menstrual migraines. Some sources state that sex during periods can help women in relieving their migraines, but some women might not enjoy it.
Are there any Cons of having Period Sex?
The biggest downside of having period sex is that it is a mess. It can be blood all-around maybe on your partner, sheets, or whatnot. One might also feel self-conscious during such time and it might make one anxious or might also lose all interest in sex.

Don't let your period stop you from having fun. Sex may be just as pleasurable during those five or so days as it is the rest of the month if you do a little planning ahead of time. You might be shocked to discover that sex is much more enjoyable while you're on your period.
