Because We Have Been Culturally Conditioned To Believe That
Menstruation Is Something Dirty.
There Are Also Misconceptions About The Medical Aspects Of SEX During
Periods. Medically, It Is Normal To Have Sex During Periods. The Safe
Sex Practices Required To Avoid Pregnancy And STDs When A Woman Is Not
Menstruating Should Also Be Used During Periods.
1¤ CAN SEX DURING PERIODS RESULT IN PREGNANCY?
Chances Of Pregnancy During Periods Are Minimal. However, If You
Strictly Want To Avoid Pregnancy It Is Advisable To Use An Adequate
Birth-Control Method Each Time You Have Intercourse, Including During
Periods. Though The Chances Of Pregnancy During Periods Are Very Low,
They Are Not Entirely Absent Because The Sperm Can Survive In The Body
For A Few Days And There Is A Small Chance That An Early Ovulation
Will Cause Pregnancy.
2¤ WILL CONTACT WITH MENSTRUAL BLOOD CAUSE SEXUALLY-TRANSMITTED DISEASES (STD)?
Menstrual Blood Is Nothing But Normal Human Blood Mixed With Tissues
Lining The Uterus Contact With Menstrual Blood Is Not Harmful In Any
Way. If Your Partner Has A STD, You Have A High Chance Of Contracting
It And You Should Be Using A Condom During Intercourse, Both During
Periods And Otherwise.
3¤ WILL CONTACT WITH MENSTRUAL BLOOD HARM THE PENIS?
NO, Menstrual Blood Will Not Harm The Penis In Any Way. The Worries
And Concerns About Menstrual Blood Stem From The Fact That We Have
Been Socially Conditioned To See It As A Dirty Fluid.
Scientifically, Menstrual Fluid Is A Mix Of Blood And Tissues That
Line The Uterus Every Month To Prepare It For Pregnancy. If Pregnancy
Does Not Occur, The Tissue Is Shed Because It Is No Longer Required.
4¤ CAN SEX DURING PERIODS INJURE THE UTERUS?
NO, Sex During Periods Cannot Injure The Uterus. There Is A Common
Perception That The Mouth Of The Uterus Opens Up During Periods And
The Penis Can Poke Into It And Hurt The Uterus. This Is Not Correct.
Menstrual Flood Oozes Out Of A Very Small Opening In The Mouth Of The
Uterus. The Penis Can Never Poke In Through This Opening.
5¤ WILL SEX DURING PERIODS STOP BLEEDING?
Some Women Do Notice That Their PeriodS Stop Within A Day Or So Of
Sexual Intercourse. This Does Not Mean That The Menstrual Blood Has
Been Pushed Back Into The Uterus And Is Unable To Flow Out. It Happens
Primarily Because Sexual Intercourse Causes Uterine Contractions That
Expel The Menstrual Fluids And Tissue Faster, Thus Causing The
Bleeding To Stop Sooner Than Usual.
6¤ IS SEX DURING PERIODS A PERVERSION?
You Would Be Happy To Know That A Large Number Of Couples Have Sex
During Periods. From The Medical Standpoint, Normal. So If YOU Too
Indulge In It, There Is Absolutely No Need To Feel Guilty Or Anxious.
7¤ WILL SEX DURING PERIOD RELIEVE MENSTRUAL CRAMPS?
YES, Some Women Do Experience A Decrease In Menstrual Cramps. If They
Have Sexual Intercourse. This Can Happen Because Of Multiple Factors.
On One Hand, Orgasm Causes The Release Of Some Chemicals In The Body
That Have Pain Allaying Properties. Some Scientists Also Believe That
This Happens Because Excess Cramp Causing Chemicals Called
Prostaglandins Get Used Up.
8¤ IS IT OK TO HAVE ORAL SEX DURING PERIODS?
YES, From The Health Perspective It Is Okay To Have Oral Sex During
Periods. It Is Advisable To Use A Dental Dam If You Have Oral Sex With
A Menstruating Female Partner.
9¤ SHOULD I REMOVE MY TAMPON BEFORE HAVING SEX DURING PERIODS?
YES, Always Remember To Remove Your Tampon Before Having Sex During
Periods. If You Do Not Do This There Is A Chance That The Tampon Will
Get Pushed Up In Your Vagina And If It Is Left There For A Prolonged
Period, It Can Cause Infection.
¤ "IS It Acceptable To God For A Husband And Wife To Have Sex While
The Wife Is Menstruating/Having Her Period?"
ANSWER: Leviticus 15:19 Says, "When A Woman Has Her Regular Flow Of
Blood, The Impurity Of Her Monthly Period Will Last Seven Days, And
Anyone Who Touches Her Will Be Unclean Till Evening."
Similarly, Leviticus 15:24 Says. "If A Man Lies On With Her And Her
Monthly Flow Touches Him, He Will Be Unclean For Seven Days; Finally,
Leviticus 20:18 Declares, "If A Man Lies With A Woman During Her
Monthly Period And Has Sexual Relations With Her, He Has Exposed The
Source Of Her Flow, And She Has Also Uncovered It. Both Of Them Must
Be Cut Off From Their People." As A Result Of These Scriptures, Some
Hold That A Married Couple Should Not Have Sex While The Wife Is
Having Her Period.
The Problem With This View Is That If The Scriptures Are Applied
Consistently, Even Touching A Woman Who Is Having Her Menstrual Flow
Would Be Forbidden. Further, According To Leviticus 15:20-23, Even
Touching Something That The Woman Has Also Touched Would Be Forbidden.
Do These Laws Apply To Us Today? NO, They Do Not. WHY? It Is Important
To Remember The Purpose Of The Old Testament Laws Concerning Blood. In
The Sacrificial System, Blood Was Sacred (Leviticus 17:11). A Woman's
"Uncleaness" During Her Period Was Symbolic Of The Value Placed On
Blood. As A Result, Contact With A Woman Who Was Having Her Period Was
Forbidden. Christians Today Are Not Under The Old Testament Ceremonial
Law (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:24-26; Ephesians 2:15). There No Longer
Is A Sacrificial System. Jesus' Blood Sacrifice Paid The Penalty For
Sins Once And For All. The Levitical Ceremonial Laws Do Not Apply
Today. There Is No Biblical Reason Why A Married Couple Cannot Have
Sex During The Wife's Period. Some Doctors Do Not Recommend It From A
Medical Perspective, But There Are No Proven "Dangers" Of Having
Sexual Intercourse During A Woman's Period. Usually Women Have No
Desire To Have Sexual Relations During Their Period, So That Is
Definitely Another Thing To Consider. Basically, This Issue Must Be
Decided By A Husband And Wife In The Spirit Of "Mutual Consent" As 1
Corinthians 7:5 Describes.
