While periods are often associated with discomfort and mood swings, they don’t have to signal the end of intimacy. Period sex can offer several unexpected health benefits, both physically and emotionally. From easing cramps to enhancing connection with your partner. Tap to read!
Relief from Cramps
A female orgasm stimulates muscle contractions that relieve built-up tension in the uterus and, as such, may relieve menstrual cramps and reduce overall pain.
Increased Libido
Hormones play a major role during the menstruation period, particularly the rise in estrogen during ovulation. For many, this increase is the perfect time for an appraising surge in sexual desire.
Natural Lubrication
Menstrual fluid can act as a natural lubricant, making penetrative sex easier and more pleasurable for people who otherwise find dryness an issue.
It Might Relieve Migraine Attacks
Orgasms provide some individuals relief from headaches or migraines, possibly owing to endorphin release or increased blood flow during the sexual encounter.
Stronger Emotional Connection
Sharing intimacy during this time can deepen emotional trust and bonding, challenging taboo notions and strengthening communication within a relationship.
