Period Sex- What does Medical Science really say?

More women have been speaking about what they enjoy and how much they enjoy it. Even more so, if it is something often condemned in our society.

In a society that has been witnessing the power of feminists and feminist movements, it is outrageous to be misleading so many women by confidently and with certainty saying some particular things!

Period Sex.

OH YESSS!

Oh well!

NO.

Indeed, relying on the number of women expressing high degrees of pleasure, I would say it must be really enjoyable. So is drinking that harms the liver and drugs that harm our brain.

A word about the information resource I have relied on- PubMed is a reliable source of information that enables “search and retrieval of biomedical and life sciences literature to improve health- both globally and personally.

A few searches on this are enough to make anyone worry about the encouragement given to specific behaviors that can harm their beings.

The following are some words from the experts from articles.

  1. The following extract is from- Is Vaginal Sexual Intercourse Permitted during Menstruation? A Biblical (Christian) and Medical Approach
  2. From a modern medical perspective, sexual intercourse during menstruation is regular and not a perversion but is associated, although remote, with undesirable pregnancy, the development of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and possible endometriosis, which affects, inter alia, the health of the reproductive tract.
  3. This following excerpt is from Association between Sexual Activity during Menstruation and Endometriosis: A Case-Control Study
  4. Conclusion- Based on the present study results, vaginal intercourse or non-coital sexual activity leading to orgasm during menstruation increases the risk of endometriosis in women during reproductive age. This study has raised exciting issues and requires further investigation better to understand the mechanism of endometriosis in such cases.
  5. The excerpt is from- Sexual intercourse during menstruation and self-reported sexually transmitted disease history among women
  6. “Sexual intercourse during menstruation may emerge more consistently as a risk factor for the heterosexual transmission of HIV or other sexually transmitted pathogens in future studies. Suppose future epidemiologic studies continue to bolster this finding. In that case, public health efforts should promote abstinence during the female menstrual period and target those groups of women among whom this practice is prevalent.”

In the times were Women are fighting to be acknowledged for their capabilities, it is quite disturbing to say things which in reality are not based on certainties. Such irresponsible use of freedom of speech can cause harm to a lot of women. I believe that we are going through a phenomenon of Information Explosion. So, it must not be easy to ensure that all the words we speak are reliable and accurate. 

Good people with good intentions sometimes say the most remarkable things that unintentionally eventually cause a lot of harm.

Science doesn’t approve of period sex. The studies so far point to the other side. Science also admits that there is a lot it is ignorant about.

Should we then take it as a yes to Period Sex if it is enjoyable? 

No! 

Should we consider the consequences first before we take such risks like responsible adults? 

Yes. Sure! 

Enjoy period sex as much as you want. Hedonistic Society hails approvals. But be kind to yourself; consider the consequences. Silence on the subject seems rather better than ignorant words that may lead to harmful actions.

Have fun! A safe one.
