Shocking health benefits of sex during periods

Though sex on periods is a pretty taboo subject and your gynae may not like the idea of it at all, studies say .Many people actually have sex while they are on their periods are it is believed that it has many advantages besides the much known relieving of period cramps.

Though sex on period is not everyone’s cup of tea , but, guess what, period sex can actually make your period end quicker! This is being said by gynaecologists at the University of Michigan.

BUT THERE’S A CATCH:

While period sex may or may not suggest orgasm for some, it is a prerequisite if you want your period to last quick. That’s the catch. So, basically it is the orgasm that makes your period shorter, not sex, to be precise.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT:

When you orgasm, your uterus has contractions. When it contracts, the blood lining will shed faster than it normally does, that is, without the contractions. “Although no studies have been done on this, it’s likely that menstrual blood in the uterus is squeezed out during orgasm,” said Dr Dee Fenner.

THE OTHER BENEFITS:

Period sex is also known to soothe period cramps, make you have better orgasms, can connect you better with your partner and as it pushes you out of your comfort zone, it can help you deal with your vulnerability in a better way.
