Why do women want sex before and after menstruation?

Women are our lovers who accompany us all year round in our lives. They are also our frequent sexual partners. We can not only feel their tenderness and fierceness in normal times, but also feel their tension when they need us. Women will have menstruation and bleeding, so do they want sex before and after menstruation? Have we all understood this? Do we know the answer ourselves? Let’s take a look together below!

Why do women want sex before and after menstruation?

This is a normal feeling for many women and the reasons include:

1. Pelvic congestion increases during menstruation, and pelvic congestion will also occur during sexual excitement.

2. There is absolutely no possibility of pregnancy, so they will feel particularly safe and the couple can enjoy themselves to the fullest.

3. The estrogen level is the lowest, so the androgen level in the body is relatively high, and androgen is also the most important material basis for maintaining female sexual desire.

If women often feel uneasy and anxious when their honeymoon or travel vacation is approaching, it will naturally interfere with their sexual interest and bring them inconvenience. But there is a way for people to overcome this difficulty, that is, to delay menstruation with the help of oral contraceptives. Taking birth control pills can also reduce bleeding in women who normally have heavy menstrual bleeding. Sexual intercourse during menstruation has always been a taboo. Some men even cry out "bad luck" when they find their bride has her period on their wedding night, believing that it will bring bad luck to themselves, or even accuse the bride of deliberately making things difficult for them. In fact, this superstition is unreasonable. Another concern is that women may be infected and develop gynecological diseases. However, it has been proven that there is no link between sexual intercourse during menstruation and infection. Of course, whether you must have sexual intercourse during menstruation depends entirely on your own preference, and there is no need for artificial regulations to stipulate whether it is allowed or not.

As to whether sexual intercourse during menstruation can absolutely prevent pregnancy, the answer is basically yes. Even if pregnancy can occur, it is extremely accidental and special. For example, a woman's cycle is particularly short, only 21 days. In this case, ovulation will occur on the 7th day of the menstrual period, which is often a period when the menstruation has not yet completely ended or has just ended. These women's fertility period comes so quickly, and if they lack awareness, they may experience unplanned pregnancies. This will also become a reason for women to feel dissatisfied with their bodies. Similarly, for women with irregular menstruation and too little menstrual blood, they tend to mistake the slight bleeding during ovulation as a period with less bleeding, so they boldly have sexual intercourse at the time when the chance of conception is actually the highest. Of course, they are prone to unexpected pregnancy.

Dysmenorrhea is a cause of confusion for many women, who often complain about why they are women and have to suffer every month. So can sexual intercourse during menstruation relieve dysmenorrhea? People have different opinions: some believe that achieving orgasm during menstruation can immediately relieve dysmenorrhea (this effect applies whether the orgasm is caused by sexual intercourse or masturbation); others believe that sexual intercourse during menstruation can cause spasmodic abdominal pain because the prostaglandins contained in semen can enhance the contraction of the uterus, and the uterus is particularly sensitive to prostaglandins during menstruation. If intercourse during menstruation does cause crampy abdominal pain, using condoms will prevent this pain from occurring because condoms prevent the prostaglandins in semen from coming into contact with the female reproductive tract.

Oral contraceptives and IUDs may have opposite effects on dysmenorrhea. The former can eliminate dysmenorrhea for most women taking the medicine because it inhibits ovulation; however, the intrauterine device tends to enhance uterine spasm, especially in the first few months after wearing the ring.

Therefore, it is understandable that women’s sexual desire increases during menstruation, but it is also affected by many factors and requires specific analysis of specific issues.

Well, the above is our basic understanding and introduction about why women want sex before and after menstruation. After reading it, do you feel that women’s sexual desire is still very high sometimes? It mainly depends on the time. Maybe at a certain time and in a certain environment, the feeling that women give us during our sex life is different!
