  • It's That Time Again

    Last semester, I was talking with my friend, Kelly*, who had a special friend coming to visit her on campus in a couple days. She said he was gorgeous, and they always had a kind of flirty relationship in high school. During summer break of our freshman year, they started hooking up. Now he was coming to visit and she could not be more excited. Everything was going to be perfect. Well, almost everything. 

    Around the same day that this guy was supposed to arrive, Kelly knew she was supposed to get her period. She was extremely disappointed because she was really looking forward to finally being able to be intimate with him again. She knew doing what she was planning on doing with him would make a huge mess, but she was not going down without a fight. She was desperately talking to all our friends (especially the ones with boyfriends) asking for alternatives during their times of the month. (The most popular suggestion was in the shower.)

    What do you think Kelly should have done? Do you completely avoid intimacy during your (or your SO's) time of the month?

  • Get some dark disposable sheets and and extra bedliner and be ready to throw them away after the fact.  Shower sex is kind of a novelty but the water messes with the girls natural lubrication, and while the heat and passion is there, I think you lose a lot of intamacy.

  • Shower is good. But who wants to have shower sex 4 days straight every month? (And non-spontaneously) Personally, I skip the heaviest day. Shower sex on the medium days. Oral/anal with a tampon in on the medium-lighter days.

  • well he'd notice it if she didn't do it in the shower (maybe even if she did!) so she'd have to tell him.. i would've just told him and seen what he said.me & my husband don't avoid it but we usually don't do it on the first day.. i never really feel like it on that day anyway.

  • Duh. blowjobs. though mine are light that most days, if I lay down a not white towel, I just go ahead and have sex anyway. The only thing I don't get my buddeh to do to me when I'm bleeding is go down on me. And that's the only thing he's squeamish about.

  • Throw a towel under you. Use a sea sponge tampon or a soft menstrual cup.

  • Woah now! You SHOULD avoid it. As the egg is being released, it's even easier for the sperm to get to it. It locks down where it is at, if it is fertilized. This can lead to pregnancies in the fallopian tubes (you can find stories about these types of things by doing a search), among other things. Be careful. I suggest not allowing a man's penis in your vagina during your time of month, no matter how "safe" you're being. Be careful.

  • @akarui_mitsukai@xanga - The egg is released during ovulation, not menstruation. That's when the egg gave up on being fertilized and drains out with the uterine lining it was making for a fetus. You can only get pregnant on your period if you tend to ovulate erratically and release ANOTHER egg at that right moment... but usually erratic ovulation is spread out too far, not one on top of the other.

  • @oneLBcloser@xanga - Usually, yeah. Having read horror stories, though, I tend to err on the side of caution. If me and my Hubby do it during my time of the month, it's typically by other methods... Never the vagina. With my luck, I'd be one of the few. Haha :)

  • @akarui_mitsukai@xanga - but you're fine having sex the rest of the month when you ARE likely to get pregnant? Okay...

  • @oneLBcloser@xanga - Considering we're married, yeah. It's not really a huge worry for us. We use preventative measures & caution & such because we don't want one right away. But if we happen to end up pregnant, it wouldn't be the end of the world. We'd still be together and such. So, I'm not sure what you're getting at? And if I have a chance of getting pregnant, I'd prefer it to occur naturally rather than ectopically. And since chances are higher at the time of month than at other times, yeah. That's my reasoning. That, and bloody sex just doesn't interest me at ALL. :)

  • @akarui_mitsukai@xanga - Sorry I misunderstood- I thought you were afraid of pregnancy in general, not ectopic. In that case- there's no time of the month that that is more likely. The egg is almost always fertilized in the tube, but continues to move along. In those cases, aside from some kind of blockage, there is no explanation. I hate to see people scared for no reason.
