Oral sex while she's on her period?

Contributor: Annemarie Annemarie
Voted for my significant other.

He generally won't even finger me while I'm on my period, and most of the time won't have sex with me. It sucks ass, especially since I've been bleeding for um... 6 months off and on now, but at least I've got my little friends to help me out!

I use a Diva Cup, and so we can do oral as we normally would and it's no different than any other time of the month. It's nicer thatn using tampons since there is no string or anything and the cup can't be felt from the outside at all. I'm really sensitive during my period and so my husband loves giving me oral. We'll usually give each other mutual oral to completion when I have it.

It's not really made to leak if the woman is using the right size for her body. The top of the cup is pushing against the walls of the vagina and truly acts like a stopper. When I have my periods, and that I get wet, my wetness is as clear as water.

The diva cup kind of suctions in place. It rests around the cervix and then like suctions itself in place. Once it's in it's supposed to be turned and that's how you know it's in place, if it can spin freely and is fully opened it'll suction itself in place, I'm sure there's more technical ways of explaining this, I just call it "awesome" I've never had any leakage, even on my heaviest days. The diva cup is like the best thing ever for periods.

I've seen pictures. It reminds me of a medicine cup (like at the top of pepto) that is made of silicone with a point at the bottom.

I was hesitant about this at first but my husband didn't want to let it stop him. I just use a tampon.

He has given me oral on very light days, and has offered to do it a couple times on heavier days but it was me that said no

I'm all for it, but I'm admittedly more than a little strange. Though I think the overwhelming no I'm seeing is even stranger.

I agree. Although I've never fooled around with anyone with an unusually nasty period (huge thick blood clots, etc) so I suppose I am biased. Blood doesn't scare or bother me at all though. I've noticed quite a few people here say they would perform oral sex only if it was around the clit, which is usually what my girlfriend likes me to do anyways, but I wouldn't be opposed to licking her anywhere else down there if that's what she wanted.

I was honestly pretty surprised as well at the number of people unwilling to "get their red wings".

With a divacup or some other brand of keeper, there is absolutely no leaking and you can receive oral without any cares or worries, even during a heavy day. I don't know why more people don't use them.

Sadly, on accident I grew my red wings, the guy didn't even notice until I saw his face and he looked like some vampire. Never mind the blood soaked sheets from it all, oh what a disaster.

I agree with the Alicia; if I'm wearing my Diva cup there's really no difference. But oral is off limits if I'm using a tampon.

I would be very uncomfortable with this. I'm curious about the Diva Cup, but even with that, no. I just don't feel right doing sexual things at that time. My significant other is terrified of blood--he fainted one time when he got cut! He hasn't seen my menstrual blood, but I'm sure he wouldn't care for being very close to it.

I'm all for period sex and have had it with my hubby, but NEVER oral sex while on my period. Gross!

I've thought about this, or the Instead (even though My Man doesn't mind at all) but we use penetrative toys during oral sex, so I would be afraid of what the toys would do to the cup. My guess it would get pushed around or even moved out?

Maybe it's because I'm a nurse (but I don't think that's the reason) but I don't get all the "EW, gross" about menstrual blood. Every woman bleeds once a month (well most.) Every woman deals with it. Do people who have the "gross" reaction think "Ew, gross." every time they have to change their pad or their tampon? It's a body fluid, most of it isn't even really all blood, but other fluids. I guess people are grossed out by what they are grossed out by, but I'm just glad My Man couldn't care less what state of my cycle my body is in.

I guess there is no accounting for taste. My periods can last a week or more and neither of us are going to go that long without sex, and in our house sex is FULL sex, oral and all, every time. (I'm not being judgmental at all, just don't get the whole attitude that menstrual blood is "Gross." It's part of you. It's part of being a woman. *shrug*)

I can understand using the Cup, to save on the mess, but I personally don't get the "Ew, gross" reaction.

Totally unhygenic. That would be simply too weird.

I've always wondered about the "Ew, gross" reaction too; and until a few months ago I held the same thoughts. But I think part of accepting the blood as a natural part of life is one more step to accepting yourself and others.

Not saying that giving/receiving oral is the best way to introduce yourself to it, but maybe it's time to think about the knee-jerk reaction against blood?

You certainly can like or not like whatever you want, but if you and your partner are already fluid bonded, sex during menstruation is NO MORE "unhygienic" than any other sex at any other time of the month.

The blood of menstruation(which is mostly other stuff, not all blood) is no more of an actual a contagion, than any other type of fluid sharing sex if, like I said, the two of you are fluid bonded.

I don't think I'd have sex with someone I didn't know well during my period, by My Man and I have been together for decades. He's seen me during childbirth, he's seen my body opened up for surgical births, he's seen me near death, we've engaged in many many sexual activities that some people might label "unhygienic." The two of us been through about as much as most couples have been and then some.

A little blood doesn't bother me or bother him at all.

As I said, you have every right to not like what turns you off. But, it isn't "unhygienic."

SEX is "unhygienic" almost by definition, so take that into account. Again, your mileage may vary.

My boyfriend would do it, me bleeding has never seemed to sway him one way or the other on any sexual act, but I'd be uncomfortable with it.

you don't have to go exploring around in there with your tongue, just focus on the clit a bit more than usual and you'll both have a good time

BUT, he has given oral to the clit and outside vulva while on my period. That is fine with me.
Same here! My man will lick my clit when I'm on my period if we're in the mood, but he would never go any further than that, nor would I want him to! We don't have vaginal sex while I'm on the rag, so I definitely welcome the clitoral stimulation during that time of the month!
