Have you ever wondered about period sex? Is it gross? Is it safe? What is it really like? Well, we found this interesting thread on Quora where people are talking about what actually happens during and after period sex. Read on and find out what these people have to say
1. ‘You can both still get STIs’ – Well if you don’t use protection, you can get STIs anyway, irrespective of whether you do it during periods or not.
Lexa Michaelides answers on Quora: He’s probably going to get menstrual blood on his penis. She can still get pregnant, you can both still get STI’s. Most people don’t have sex during periods because it’s so damn messy. Considering that there are other ways of getting sexual pleasure for both parties (masturbation, oral sex, anal sex, using sex toys), why have messy sex when you could have non-messy sex? 
2. ‘It’s just like sex any other time of the month’ – Yeah, just messier.
Howie Reith answers on Quora: Your penis kind of looks like it starred in an ’80s horror film. Besides that, sex on periods is like sex during any other time of the month.
3. ‘Women are hornier during their period’ – Oh yeah totally!
Sabrina Deep answers on Quora: Many women are hornier during their period than ever and if you don’t mind those washable blood stains and she is up for it too, i would definitely suggest you to jump onto it. 
4. ‘She will never ask you to go down on her!’ – Umm, yeah because it’s JUST. SO. GROSS!
Saurin Jhaveri answers on Quora: Girls love sex during their periods and there are other advantages too, namely: Natural lubrication, low likelihood of pregnancy and she will never ask you to go down on her!
5. ‘It’s sometimes a little more naturally lubricated down there.’ – Well, DUH.
Anonymous answers on Quora: It’s sometimes a little more naturally lubricated down there. Sometimes it smells a little funky and gets a little messier to clean up, but otherwise period sex is the same as normal sex.
