can you have sex when you are on your period? help!
Yes. Many women have sex during their periods. In fact, having an orgasm may help relieve menstrual cramps. If a woman has vaginal intercourse during her period, it’s important for her to remember to remove her tampon first. Otherwise, the tampon and its string could get pushed up too deep in the vagina for the woman to get it out herself. Keep in mind that a woman can get pregnant from vaginal intercourse during her period, so it’s still important to use birth control.
