Sex on her period??

[PB&J 1,086]

But I would like to ask, has anyone heard of or had the laser sugry that is suppose to stop periods althoghter?

 

Yup. reading this thread was sort of weird for me; I had an endometrial ablation in the mid-90's and haven't had a period since!! Talk about ideal for the lifestyle. Mind you, at the time I was told this rendered me infertile, and this was not a big deal back then, as hubby had already had the Big V, but I've been doing some reading lately, and discovered this is not necessarily the case. I'm going to a ob/gyn to find out more.

 

But I heartily recommend the procedure. There's not a woman out there who doesn't get envious when she finds out. Just get your tubes tied at the same time, is my advice. I wish that I had.

Yes, endometrial ablation can be done by a variety of different techniques. There is the electric heated, curved wire with which the gynecologist carves away the uterine lining, as well as the rollerball and the laser and Thermachoice each of which burns away the lining. But none of them is guaranteed to wipe out 100% of the endometrial lining. While endometrial ablation greatly reduces fertility, it should not be trusted as a method of contraception. You know Murphy's law! If a sperm can find the egg on its way through the fallopian tube to the uterine cavity, Murphy is going to be sure that the egg will find that tiny little remnant of endometrial tissue and implant there to make a baby. By the way, I am fond of telling my patients that there is only one method of birth control which has never, ever failed -- total abstinence! Every other method of contraception has what is called a failure rate. That includes birth control pills, IUDs, hormone implants under the skin, tubal ligation, vasectomy, condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps, and even -- I know it's hard to believe --hysterectomy.

I've never had sex with a menstruating woman, but I decided to post here for a different reason.

 

Women (physiologically speaking) weren't designed to undergo multiple menstrual cycles per year. Period. The menstrual cycle was designed to facilitate reproduction, which means that the female body is expending large amounts of energy to provide a welcome environment for a new life. This, of course, means that it has to divert important nutrients (proteins, fats, minerals such as calcium and iron, etc.) on a larger than average scale to a relatively minor portion of the body. And, for my engineering swingers out there, what happens when a pipe/switchboard/beam is overrun by large amounts of particulate matter and detritus? Rupture, weakening, structural compromise, and other delightful things. Or, in physiological terms, endometriosis and fibroid tumors, among other "delightful" afflictions endured by the ladyparts.

 

A pregnant woman's body endures a lot of stress, but (for the most part) womens' bodies contain their own pregnancy-recuperation properties (lactation amenorrhea, among others). OTOH, a period is essentially a set series of "Much Ado About Nothing", wherein the body does a substantial amount of build-up, then release. Every month, for years and years. As stated by one of the prior posters, a well-managed parturite female body can receive 9+ months of non-menstrual related physical stress, plenty of time for recuperation and reinforcement of tissues used in the formation of the child.

 

(For example: The calcium needed for the growing baby's bones has to come from somewhere. If she isn't drinking enough milk and eating her leafy greens, it's coming from her {or for our female posters, your } bones. And you wonder why Western women have a much higher percentage of osteoporisis sufferers than their more rural counterparts?)

 

A period, as I've typed, is a mini-pregnancy. Do the math, it doesn't change.

9 months of pregnancy and 9 or more months of recuperation, versus 18 months of a quasi-pregnant state. I'm not trying to advocate a year-long regimen of birth control for all women, but the hormones in BCPs mimic the hormones released during pregnancy. And I'm all about making women happy, even if it means spending a thousand dollars to find the right pill and having to take the lumps caused by the mood changes triggered by the wrong pill.

 

I was with you, right up to the last point. Not every woman can take hormone based birth control. I tried almost every type of BCP, and found that every one of 'em cause the one side effect I don't think any man wants . . . TOTAL lack of libido. I literally got to a point where I didn't care if I ever had sex at all. I couldn't stand for my husband to touch me, even just to be affectionate.

 

Once we figured out that the pill was the cause (tried Nuvaring, too) and I stopped taking it, my libido went from Park to Overdrive!

 

But for those ladies who can take the pill and use it to your advantage (ie reduce the number of periods you have), then go for it!

We were out with another couple the other night who are VERY active in the adult industry both as producers and actors. They are a very down to earth couple and are just cool to even socialize with. We plan to get together again often as we all really click. The subject of having sex while the women is on her period came up. We mentioned that we have to schedule playtimes around the mrs cycle.

 

They told us that it is never a problem for them since they use a "porn trick". This intrigued both of us so they told us what the actresses do in films.

 

They girls take a sea sponge (like the kind you can buy at any hardware store) that you would use for faux painting or washing a car. You soak it in water for about an hour and cut it in half. The excess water is rung out and the girls use it as a sort of dam. Apparently nothing can get past that and the sea sponge has some sort of natural deodorant properties.

 

Has anyone ever had any experience with this or heard about it? I have no reason to doubt what they said since they are pretty well known in the industry, but the the mrs and I were curious about it. We did find quite a bit on the net about it doing a google search and apparently this is an ancient practice and considered very "natural"
