Aunt Flow is in town and passing up a romp in the hay is not a viable option for you. Honestly, why should it be? You’re both adults, and there are a handful of pros to having sex on your period. For example, according to Bustle “When we orgasm, the body releases oxytocin and dopamine, along with other endorphins that can ease any period-related pains. Those hormones are far stronger than any over-the-counter painkillers.”

So, maybe, deep down you’re just trying to rid your body of the hell it’s currently experiencing. You ponder shower sex, or perhaps just digging up a raggedy old towel and praying for the best.
