Are you excited about your period? Here's the deal with your playful feelings

Do you feel more "ooh la la" and less "uuuugh" at this time of year?

It's actually quite normal to feel unsexy or super horny when Aunt Flo is in town.

Here's what's up, and how to go with the flow (or not if menstrual sex is n't your thing).

There are several factors that come into play when you have this incredible time to get started. Here are some common theories.

Hormones

Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels fluctuate throughout your menstrual cycle and affect your sex drive .

During your period, the estrogen decreases and then increases in your flow for a few days, potentially increasing your palpation factor. During this time, progesterone (which causes unsightly sensations) stays low.

Testosterone also makes you more aroused, but it's most common around ovulation and maximum fertility (around 2 weeks before your period).

Low stress (pregnancy)

Knowing that you are less likely to get pregnant during your period can provide relief. That feeling of security can make you more grumpy . (Just remember: pregnancy is unlikely, but not impossible.)

Nerve stimulation

Because your uterus expands during your period, it can theoretically press on various pelvic nerves and induce arousal . However, more specific research is needed to find out if this plays a role in increasing your sex drive .

While there are many things we can attribute to hormones (staring, acne ), having high libido during your period isn't always one of them.

While hormones can play a role, the levels of each vary. In addition, other factors such as vaginal lubrication , relationship satisfaction , mood, and birth control can affect your arousal level.

Ultimately, the feelings you arouse depend on your personal preferences and desires. There is no right or wrong time to have sex during your cycle.

The scandal is that birth control destroys the libido. But in reality, birth control or birth control cannot affect your libido during periods or at any other time.

Hormonal birth control (especially the pill ) can affect sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. But different types of BC contain different amounts and types of hormones that don't work the same for everyone.

Basically, science is pretty divided when it comes to birth control and libido . It seems to depend on the person and the type of contraceptive used .

Feeling aroused doesn't directly affect how your menstrual cycle works, but indulging in your desires during the red tide * could * shorten your periods .

It's not an exact science, but orgasms circulate the blood to the lower regions. And the contractions of an orgasm can help speed up all uterine loss (i.e., your period).

Absolutely! Having sex on your period , whether with a partner oralone , can be great.

Going down could have serious benefits in relieving menstrual cramps, including:

Would you like to take a trip to Pleasure Town with Aunt Flo? Here are some of our top tips for safe and fun sex :

• Get everyone involved before you begin. It is important that you and your partner are in harmony while cruising the red tide.
• Be prepared for stains. There will be blood flowing . Cover your bed with an old towel or blanket to keep the sheets free of stains. It can also be helpful to have damp tissues, handkerchiefs, or a damp cloth on hand for immediate cleaning .
• Move your rhythm into the shower. If you want to cook things up without the bloody mess, shower sex is a great way to save your leaves and make cleanup easier.
• Try a menstrual disc. Okay, we said it would be complicated, but (mostly) smooth sex can be possible with a record . Go for a walk if you are concerned about sheets and post-sexual disorders.
• Use a barrier. Of course, you are less likely to get pregnant during your period. But there is always a risk of pregnancy and you can still pass it on or get an STI . Barrier methods (like condoms ) can help prevent pregnancy and the transmission of STIs.
• Get your tampon out! If tampons are your menstrual product of choice, remove it before the sexy time to avoid pain, discomfort or TSS .
• When in doubt, rub one. If menstrual sex isn't your (or your partner's) thing, take matters into your own hands. Masturbation can satisfy these arousing sensations and also relieve menstrual cramps (Score!).

Feeling super horny when you have your period is fine. While the exact reason is unknown, an increase in playful sensations could result from hormonal changes, slight relief from reduced risk of pregnancy, or nerve stimulation.

Your birth control method can also affect your libido levels, but researchers are yet to find out.

Remember: there is no right or wrong time during your cycle to feel energized. Does the Cornea Hit Your Period? Impressive! Later? You understand!
