The Power of Period Sex
Let’s talk PERIOD SEX 🩸.
WARNING: Approach with caution if blood makes you squeamish!
A woman’s bleed is a magical and mystical time of deep inner shedding and connection to the innate wisdom of the feminine. To allow someone in to your bloody LOVE cave during this time is nothing short of a GIFT- done right it can be a deeply nourishing, tender and bonding!
However, many of us (bleeders and non-bleeders) are still plagued by this notion that periods are dirty, annoying, something we wish we didn’t have and a hinderance to getting it on with the lover of our choice!
Now, this is totally down to personal preference and you most certainly don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. But, if you’re kinda feel like you wanna, but you don’t really know how to go about it then here’s a few pointers on how to share this magical time:
Communicate - I remember the days when I was about to get intimate with a guy whilst on my period and I would subtly mention it to them with no indication of what it meant to me and then wait to gauge his response so as to know where we went with it. I get it, but I don’t advise this nonsense anymore. Clear communication is key here! Sit down and tell your partner - you’re on your period and you’d still like to make love (if that’s your wish). Ask them how they feel and take it from there. You may also want to discuss the points below whilst you’re at it and what your particular needs and desires are at this time, as well as hearing theirs.
Preparation - TOWELS! Lay out a towel on the bed, as many as you like to feel comfy and secure. Have some towels or flannels and tissues close by should you need them. Perhaps you want to take a slow and sensual shower together first.
Adapt - Depending on where you are in your cycle you may be feeling a little sore and tender down there and your cervix may be lower. This may call for a slower session than normal, to hold off from deeper pen** tration and opt for softer, lighter love making. Communicate this with your partner and experiment with what feels good together.
Go deeper - If you want to go deeper into the beauty of love making whilst bleeding you can collect your blood (using a moon cup and adding the contents to a dish) and introduce it during your session so you are both connecting to the magic of this phase of your feminine cycle. Anoint each other’s third eyes, draw heart shapes on each other bodies... in some tantric traditions it is said that if you add a drop of menstrual blood with a drop of semen to a cup of water and drink it this creates a potent elixir of life force and vitality - and takes bonding to the next level IMO (SEE, told you this is not for the squeamish).
P.s. Getting acquainted with and embracing your blood is a huge step in the self love journey. Getting a partner who embraces your blood too is the cherry on top!
P.p.s. Orgasms are a FANTASTIC cure for period pains.
