Welcome Back!
Hey there, amazing readers! We noticed how much you loved our blog "Lovemaking While on My Period? Are You Kidding?" from 2021, and we couldn’t be more thrilled! It sparked a lot of conversations, and we’ve received tons of positive feedback. You’ve shared your stories, tips, and thoughts, and it’s clear this is a topic that deserves more attention. So, without further ado, here’s Part Two of this popular discussion.
No Need to Worry About the Mess
We know there’s still a bit of hesitation around the idea of intimacy during your period, and that’s okay! Everyone has their own comfort level. But let’s dive deeper into why you shouldn’t automatically dismiss the idea—and why it could actually be an amazing experience for both you and your partner. First off, let’s talk about the elephant in the room: the mess. Yes, we’re going there! With the right protection, like a period-friendly outfit from Justine Haines, there’s no need to worry about leaks. You can feel free and comfortable, without stressing about the 'what-ifs.'
Pain Relief and Pleasure
But what about the emotional side of things? For many, period time is associated with cramps, fatigue, and sometimes irritability. However, for others, intimacy during this time can actually help ease those symptoms. Studies have shown that orgasm can help relieve cramps by releasing endorphins and improving mood. Talk about a win-win, right?
Intimacy Beyond the Physical
Now, let’s explore the benefits beyond just the physical relief. When you engage in intimacy while on your period, it can create a sense of deeper connection and understanding with your partner. Periods are a natural part of life, and by embracing this experience, you’re showing that intimacy is not just about the 'perfect moments.' It’s about comfort, care, and truly connecting—mess and all. So, how do you make this happen? Communication is key! Have an open conversation with your partner, share your comfort levels, and discuss what works best for both of you.
Self-Love and Confidence
Let’s not forget the huge impact on self-love and confidence. When you feel empowered enough to embrace your body during its most natural state, it boosts your self-esteem. If you can confidently rock your period-friendly wear and still feel sexy, that’s a powerful statement about how much you love and accept yourself. It’s about normalizing natural bodily functions and loving yourself no matter the circumstances.
Start Small, Communicate Openly
So, what’s next? As you start to explore this idea, maybe start small. Whether it’s just cuddling, kissing, or trying out different ways to be intimate during your period, take it at your own pace. There’s no rush, and there’s certainly no one-size-fits-all approach. Just keep the communication flowing, and make it an enjoyable experience for both of you.
