Is it normal to want to have sex during menstruation?

During the menstrual period, the uterus of women is still very fragile.

However, during the menstrual period, women have the strongest sexual desire. So is it normal to want to have sex during menstruation?

Qianqian was newly married, and before the honeymoon period was over, her period arrived, catching the couple off guard. Her husband Ji Bin wants to have a normal sex life, but Qianqian firmly disagrees, saying that it is a rule passed down from their ancestors that one cannot have sex during menstruation. We couldn't reach a consensus on the argument, so we searched the Internet for information and found that there were so many opinions online. The husband said he was right, and the wife said she was right, which made people even more confused. The young couple was shy and too embarrassed to consult a doctor, so they had to follow their ancestors' rules - to endure it.

In the second month, Qianqian and her husband were mentally prepared. Before the menstrual period, they increased the frequency of sexual intercourse as if to make up for it. They found that it was really good. Qianqian was easily satisfied, and her husband was also extremely satisfied. So they decided that they should make up for the missed period before their period. The young couple was secretly happy for a long time about this wise decision.

[Can you have sex during menstruation?]

According to experts, before the menstrual period, women have a stronger desire for sex due to changes in hormone levels. In addition, this period is theoretically a "safe period", that is, a period when pregnancy will not occur without taking safety measures, so many people choose to have sex during this period.

However, there are some precautions when having sex during this period: first, although it is a "safe period", the possibility of extra ovulation cannot be ruled out, especially for people with irregular menstruation, it is not safe; second, if there are already signs, such as the beginning of blood, do not have sex to avoid infection due to poor hygiene; third, you must pay attention to hygiene, if the man's foreskin is too long, you must pay attention to the cleanliness of the smegma. People with sexually transmitted diseases need to be more careful to avoid ascending infection.

Modern medical research believes that menstrual blood does not cause any harm to men, but it is the best breeding ground for bacteria and growth. In addition, the cervix opens during menstruation, which makes it more likely for retrograde bacterial infection.
