The churning, and out-of-bounds, topic of period sex is still surprisingly fraught. The natural bodily function is something so forbidden that many people refuse to partake in coition to avoid an up close and personal confrontation with uterine lining.

Skip to content. If one has a long-term partner and neither AIDS nor any other STD is a concern, is there any medical reason not to perform cunnilingus on a menstruating woman? My significant other is particularly horny during her period and would love cunnilingus at this time. I am willing but curious. There is some evidence to suggest that sexual desire may, for some women, follow a pattern of arousal that ebbs and, er, peaks at differing intervals during the menstruation cycle. Other research notes that some women experience greater sexual desire during ovulation.
My sister once told me a story of a substitute teacher she had, a sweet woman with kind eyes and an adorable bob. She arrived at school wearing a black dress dappled with bright, white flower designs. The girl next to the teacher pointed out that a few of the flowers on the bottom of her dress had turned red. The teacher ran from the room, wordlessly and sobbing, before there was even any reaction from the class. I think of that story more often than is probably reasonable.
Guys who are into periods? At the time, I was skeptical. Some reasons are physical and hormonal; others practical; and many more are tied to erotic associations and pride in reveling in the uncensored female body.
