1. It makes you closer.
When it comes to sex at that time of the month, there’s a matter of trust involved. As Glamour puts it, “This person still knows you now in a way that only a pretty small portion of the world does.” There’s no arguing the truth in this observation.
But how do you get the guts to get down and dirty?
Try looking at it from a positive point of view. Sure, it can feel uncomfortable to get close to someone when it feels like there’s a murder scene in your pants. However, this experience will build a type of trust that extends to other parts of your relationship.
That’s because by letting him delve into this situation, you’re allowing yourself to be vulnerable. And vulnerability is a building block in any relationship, right? By having sex during your period, he’s going to see you in a way that he never has before. As a result, you’ll let down your guard in a new way -- and so will he.
Plus, post-sex clean up can be fun. It’s a great reason to shower together. Add a little shampooing head massage and it’ll feel like you’re at a spa -- with your favorite man by your side. What an added benefit!
2. It may help with cramps.
In truth, an orgasm can be a pain reliever. It’s like Tylenol -- the natural way. That’s a pretty cool concept. But just why do orgasms help with pain?
