Ew! There’s nothing wrong with going down on someone when they’re on their period...Stops Painful Cramps!!

 

So in the interests of pursuing great sex and orgasms, let’s get real about going down to period town.

By which I mean licking someone’s vulva and vagina when they’re menstruating.

There’s absolutely, totally, definitively, nothing wrong with going down on someone when they’re on their period.

*Hopefully one day it won’t be taboo, but for now we can enjoy that bit as a turn-on.

If it’s not for you, that’s fine. If you don’t feel even a tiny bit sexy on your period, you go ahead and skip oral. If you just don’t like to idea of getting menstrual fluids on your nose, whatever.
But if your refusal to give or receive oral on a period is down to the ‘ick’ factor, that needs to be addressed.
There is nothing dirty or unhygienic in any way about period blood.
Menstrual fluids are just blood, uterine lining, and regular vaginal discharge. They’re not toxic or pure evil. They’re just something that comes out of the vagina, and are entirely natural and healthy.
Nothing bad will happen if these fluids make their way on to your tongue, hands, or face.

If you’re worried about mess – or don’t like the idea of greeting your sexual partner with a blood smeared face post-orgasm – just stick to the clitoris.

You can lick and suck away without actually getting all up in the vag, and if you’re really worried some blood may make its way out, you can use a tampon while you do that.

Even if you do shove your tongue deep inside and get on with things, it’s unlikely you’ll get that much blood gushing out.

The average person loses between 30-40ml of blood during a period (meaning over the course of seven days), which is hardly anything. Reduce that time to the twenty minutes or so that you’re going down, and you’re really looking at a few smudges of blood – unless the person you’re going down on experiences a particularly heavy flow.

But the reasons you should consider going downtown on someone’s period go beyond ‘it’s not bad, promise’.

It’s down to making people feel good when their period is likely making them feel a bit rubbish.
