How do you handle "that time of the month"

Contributor: EastCoast36 EastCoast36
Curious how some of you approach the monthly visit from the period with your partner. There are probably a wide range of methods, but I started as a survey to generate more discussion.

Perceptive forum discussions on Hands free:

Hand soap vs dish soap?
Which one should I use when cleaning my toys? Most hand soaps that I see are anti-bacterial. The thought popped up today while I was at work washing..

Handcuffs
Are these really worth five stars? They look so fun. Any suggestions on whether or not I should purchase them? What do you think?

More smelly merchandise: Mantric SienaSymphony
Taking advantage of the sale, I ordered a SienaSymphony. I received it, and the silicone smells like burnt wires. I've put batteries in it, and it...

I only have my period once every 3 months. During that week, though, we don't really do anything.

Shower if we can't hold out any longer, but usually it is a break.

Depends how I feel but it will verge between shutting it down for a week or just stay up by my clit.

My partner and I aren't grossed out by menstrual fluid. My period doesn't stop me from having sex. We just lay down a towel on top of the throe we have on the bed and we're good to go!

Sometimes our rough sex brings on my monthly, so we've gotten used to a little bit of messiness. But not really more than a couple of drops. And it usually only last 1 or 2 heavy days for me, then spots for a couple days so lightly that I sometimes think it's gone before it is. During the day or two of heaviness we stick to anal. During the next day or two sex doesn't cause the slightest mess so we don't care.

That never stopped us at all, but I guess oral/anal play gets a bit more "common" during those period times.

I should add that for ME, sex always took cramps and bloat AWAY. Better then Midol to be sure. There is some medical evidence that the hormones released, as well as the endorphins all play into this, for real. Thus, while my DRIVE may not have always been there on heavy period days, I mentally said "let's give this a go" and once he was enjoying me, I always started feeling MUCH better.

I said Other. We simply carry on as normal. My periods last easily a week and often longer. I will NOT go without sex that long and neither will My Man.

It's just some fluid. Not a huge deal. We have running water in our house and can rinse off if it gets messy. Often, it doesn't even get messy.

I see absolutely no reason to "shut down" for a full week. That's, on average, 91 days without sex a year. That's two months without sex a year! Just because of a little endometrial lining, mucous and a some blood being expelled?

Plus, orgasm helps menstrual cramps. So, I see no reason to change anything. We just have sex like we normally do. We put down a red or maroon sheet and towel or a Liberator Throe on our bed and go to the job. Plus, a dil or phallic vibrator in the vagina will help "plug" the expulsion of fluid, so toys make oral sex, anal sex, etc. it even easier. Then you pull the dil out when you want to have PIV. It's just a little fluid. Ain't no thing.

I tend to not like sex during my period but Anakin will take me anyways. I use Instead to help me out during those times. It's great to use because you can't really tell you are on your period.

Anal, oral, and Frottage for me. I don't go completely sex-less, but nothing's going near my vagina when it's bleeding.
