In my past relationships, periods were forbidden. I couldn't even ask one of my previous partners to take some tampons because he would be offended by the idea. He would face the fact that I was bleeding. When I was menstruating, it became "woman's week" for him.
How did HE really feel about sex at that time?
Sounds familiar, doesn't it? I've always assumed that people are against the idea of sex on a cycle. It is seen as dirty and disgusting. At least from my experience. So last year I decided to ask people how they feel about it. The results surprised me.
I'll be honest ... my perceptions of cycle sex have changed over time. When I was a sweet and innocent woman, who thought the dog's style was a bold sexual position was a definite no to me. None of my partners were interested in this and they seemed disgusted when I was menstruating.
Over time, my attitudes have changed massively. It is no longer a taboo subject for me. In fact, I understand exactly why it is good for you to have sex during menstruation. However, not everyone feels the same. Some partners do not even believe in this possibility, labeling the act as "rude".
We can't even show blood in advertisements for "feminine hygiene products" or "sanitary products." Instead, it is a mysterious blue liquid. So when it comes to periods, we should not be surprised that the world seems quite divided on this issue. It seems to be a firm yes or a strong no, as you can see in the debate below:
I wanted to know what others thought about it. As I already said, my experiences were quite negative. While some of the people I spoke to enjoyed sex on a cycle, others certainly didn't.
So I asked you a question that was bothering me. What do you think about cycle sex? I expected the results to be very clear, with most objections to them. However, I was pleasantly surprised!
29% of you said you liked it. No doubt you see how amazing it can be for your partner 13% of you said there is no way to try. It was a no-brainer for you. Most interestingly, 58% of you said you would be "willing to try in the right circumstances." I would say it's a huge victory!
The results of the survey are clear - you would be happy to try cycle sex if the conditions were right

You are surprised?
I'm really shocked by the results. Given the intense discussions I saw on the forums on this topic, I expected a stronger division between "yes" and "no". I didn't expect many of you to say that you would be happy to try it.
Please tell me I'm not the only one shocked by this! Tell me if you thought this would happen in the comments below. You can even join the discussion on the forums!
