    Yeah, it’s a no for me, dawg. I’ll see you in a few days once it’s over.

    I usually think “damn you’re turned on” then look down and realize it wasn’t because of me but it still feels good so I’m not stopping.

    It’s natural. Just put down an old towel you don’t care about and a condom and you’re good to go. That said, that’s also fasting season for me, know what I mean?

  6. Argentarius1 Avatar

    I don’t mind. I thought it was a bit unhygienic before I tried period sex but its not that bad tbh.

    Massive turn on, intensely desirable, always open to it provided we have everything for cleanup/prevention at hand

    I just need to be informed before I see blood on my dick and get worried.

  9. Acceptable_String_52 Avatar

    I usually wait. I can smell the blood sometimes and smell the iron

    I’ll do it when it’s still there but almost gone but not a huge fan

    If you don’t have a period towel you ain’t a real man.

    Spread out some black towels, get the job done, then wash the towels in hot water.

    I find it really gross. But sometimes you just gotta do what the lady demands.

    All I see is a wet pussy, so I’m turned on.

    Not my goto. However, sometimes you have to bend. If she is in her feelings and says she needs it, I give..

  16. Archmikem Avatar

    I didn’t shy away when she allowed it, but it was still a bit uncomfortable for me. I know it’s not gross, but its still kind of gross.

    I find the blood creates more friction due to not being as good as the natural lubricants, but with care and some extra towel(s) all is good.

    Not my favorite though.

    As long as its not a murder scene down there, I’m g2g.

  26. EveryDisaster7018 Avatar

    I mean I won’t go down on her during that period but other than that if she is in the mood while the red river flows, my boat will sail.

  27. SimplySeano Avatar

    Completely natural then I understand later why I seemed more annoying than usual to her.

  28. jk01 Avatar

    Put a towel down and take a shower after 🤷🏼‍♂️ if she’s cool with it I’m cool with it.

    Not going down on you tho.

  29. bounty_hunter_68 Avatar

    Messy but as long as she is comfortable and enjoying it too, I don’t mind getting messy.

  30. Puzzleheaded-Cup-854 Avatar

    Love the extra lube. I’ve had partners that didn’t want to and some that were okay with it. I worldview go down on a hotel during that time but almost anything else, why not. I’ve also had girls tell me that sex on thier period helps reduce the symptoms.

  31. lovebzz Avatar

    From one of my favourite songs (NSFW): Steak and pussy both taste better, warm, bloody and tender

  32. ShhSecretPornAccount Avatar

    Warm, wet, and lubricated.

    Wade in the red river, but do not drink from it.

    And sometimes period sex helps with period symptoms… it feels nice to be therapeutic and make her feel good in more ways than one.

    What’s the point of having a sword if you don’t get it bloody

  34. PowerWisdomCourage Avatar

    Pass but not a hard pass. If we’re both in the mood, its manageable but there’s more maintenance needed on her end before and after.

  35. s_leep Avatar

    I genuinely couldn’t care less, I’m even fully willing to go down on her provided we both clean up before and after (I have a beard, I have to clean it before going down anyways, you never know what will cause a rash down there).

  36. RatedPC Avatar

    lol Correct me if I’m wrong but the clit is nowhere near the blood and I can wash my dick and the sheets/towel when I’m done. If you’re squeamish, keep the lights low. I don’t see any issues with intimacy because of her period.

  37. Mental_Ad1948 Avatar

    It’s a little messy, but it’s also warm and slick. Just use a towel.

  38. OneExhaustedFather_ Avatar

    Make a murder scene and revel in it. We have showers and washing machines for a reason.

  42. Sometimes_A_Writer1 Avatar

    Honestly it feels like super lube. It’s almost like hitting a dash pad on Mario Kart.

    And i don’t mind going down on the end of the period…not gonna do in as much but I won’t shy away if there’s barely anything there.

    Just a bodily fluid but the question is how does the partner feel about themselves and that is the only issue for me. Practically just need to think about a bit more mess.

  46. MysterClark Avatar

    For me, at least, not a turn on, but I’m cool with it. Certain precautions may need to be made, and certain things might not be on the menu, but fun can still be had. Although, this would only be if she’s the one that’s still wanting to continue. I wouldn’t push the issue if she lacked interest. Don’t want her to think she’d still have to during that time.

    Is what it is, put down the towel

    If it’s excessive then I guess not. Either way that’s my Baby

    Tried it, didnt like it. To each their own but the blood clot on my dick was a boner destroyer

  53. eggbeatersmog Avatar

    I’m a woman but I really need to put this out there; some men do have blood kinks or are deeply uncaring towards getting a little blood on their hands. One of my past partners happily feasted via oral when I was on my period, they do exist. Other past partners throw down a towel or blanket they don’t mind washing, and go to town via hands or third hand. Also, men tend to be VERY willing to help when you tell them an orgasm eases the cramps (fact). Periods are normal, and any that get weird/grossed out over it and make you feel bad for something all afab bodies are destined to do, just are not someone to be dating.

    I’m for it if:

    In the shower, full.
    After shower, going down, finger, and or sex.
    No shower yet, finger and or sex.

    It does feel different than normal. So, it’s like spicing up the bedroom.

    Did it once but probably wouldn’t do it again. It was probably the hottest sex I had but it didnt last long and the dried blood was not fun.

    I will film it in full zombie paint OR a scream mask. Either way, we’re having fun with it.

    I’m not grossed out or anything, but blood just puts me in the wrong headspace. It makes me think of things like pain, danger, and injuries which puts me in a more serious mood.

  69. ImpermanentSelf Avatar

    I got dark towels and a water proof blanket and a mattress cover. If that isn’t enough I have a poncho in my backpack.

  70. wordswor Avatar

    as a young man I would no questions asked. Put a towel down and go for it. After many sheets ruined I decided it was enough for me. The only time i will go for it now is if my partner deems it absolutely necessary. I then proceed to “Dexter-ize” the entire bedroom put on my protective eye wear and go for it. Safety first gentlemen. It is nice to be able to finish inside without fear of spawn…

    Mostly fine. Sometimes I’m not in the mood to end up looking like I hate fucked a small woodland creature though. So if I say I’m not in the mood, I’d appreciate you not freaking out on me and demanding a greater explanation.

  83. smoshfan2017 Avatar

    Like if she gushing im not into it. But if we getting busy and it leaks a bit, im cool. I’ve had plenty of sex where their is no blood and BAM, near the end it leaks. The only time ive been grossed out is when we had swx and when I went to use my hand, when I pulled it out I saw coagulated blood, or clots… now THAT shit turned me off. It was just gross. Otherwise it usually dont bug me.

  84. K0rbenKen0bi Avatar

    Brother, even outside of “that time” you’re gonna see some blood from time to time. It is what it is. But if you freak out about it, you will crush that woman. Just take it as it comes and don’t even worry about it.

    It wouldn’t Gross me out and I’d still be down if my partner wanted to be intimate besides it’s a natural thing so why should that get in the way

    It’s a ‘no thanks’ for me

  89. 2klition Avatar

    I guess it depends if you are hematophobic … Or just not at ease with blood at all I guess.
    For me I hardly support seing my own blood, or other people’s blood … Sometime it makes me feel wierd and sometime it makes me faint … I wouldn’t say though that it scares me but it reminds my brain that something should hurt. Soooo I guess I wouldn’t really like being intimate with period … Difficult to have fun when your brain is starting again 🤣

    Now if blood doesn’t bother you I don’t see why it wouldn’t work 🤷

  90. MeatTheGreatest Avatar

    It’s all up to the girl

    I’ve been told that intimacy actually helps with the pain, so I’ve literally done it just to help.

  91. vMiDNiTEv Avatar

    i’m in the biggest minority ever here probably all my friends think i’m crazy, but i ate it once (wasn’t crazy bleeding tho) 😂 it wasn’t even bad, just tasted a bit like metal, but its your girl who cares, as for period sex, i’m in there everytime idc, just put a towel down and hop in the shower after

    I’ve ran red lights. As long as it’s not super heavy I’m down lol. Just wouldn’t do it with a brand new lay. That’s something reserved for the 4th or later time that we have fucked.

    A knight does not mind some blood on his sword.

    Seriously though, it depends if my wife is feeling up to it or not. Sometimes doing it helps her period to stop a day or two early.

  103. AfraidofReplies Avatar

    Mostly indifferent. I don’t really want menstrual blood in my beard, but if she asked me to go down on her I would. I’m married though, I wouldn’t go down on a one night stand if there was menstrual blood. If she was using a tampon or menstrual cup and kept it in until I was done going down on her, that would be fine.

    It doesn’t bother me at all. And if it puts her in a hornier mood, then even better. I never want her to feel like something her body is doing is a turn off to me, and quite frankly, her giving herself to me even on her period is a turn on in itself.
