Women Menstrual Cycle and its Correlation with her Sexuality

pocm@sat.inesc-id.pt - 21 Feb 2005 00:24 GMT Dear all,
I'm interested not only for personal but also for scientific reasons on the correlation of women menstrual cycle and its correlation with her sexuality. It seems that some women are 'more easily' excited and even feel more open to sexual relations during and some days after her period (I'm not sure this is the technical term for the bleeding phase). Is this normal? Is this something that is more aggravated in teenagers and this pattern softens with age or it happens no matter her age? I'm almost sure this is due to how her hormones work but I really do not understand the proccess. Can someone enlighten me about this issue?
Cheers,
Paulo Matos

I have a hormonal imbalance that causes pseudo-stomach flu-like symptoms. A pair of Alive pills on each of the first two days is usually enough to deal with the nausea.
I also have a second period of heightened sexual desire about two weeks later dropping off significantly after two to five days. It varies from month to month.
As for age, I don't recall falling into this pattern until after my marriage, about two years ago. I am sure that many women will fall into one of a number of patterns, but as I am sure you are aware there are always individuals with atypical reactions.

It is a brand of pain pill/muscle relaxant, naproxin sodium if I remember the generic correctly. Relaxing the abdominal muscles does help with the nausea.

I [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > remember the generic correctly. Relaxing the abdominal muscles does > help with the nausea. Naproxen sodium is an NSAID. It is not a muscle relaxant. It's primary method of relieving pain is the reduction of inflammation and the inhibition of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are what makes the uterus contract, causing cramps, and as a side effect cause nausea, diarrhea, and headaches in some women.
I do not suffer from cramps, but on the advice of my nurse-practitioner, am taking naproxen sodium to reduce heavy menstrual flow associated with fibroids. Naproxen sodium can lessen the menstrual flow by up to 30%, which is wonderful. I take the generic form, it is a lot cheaper, but I used to get it as a prescription (Naprosyn). However, it acts much like aspirin in the fact that it is very irritating to the stomach, so using it to relieve nausea can be a fine line. I need to take it with food and eat bread, crackers , or cheese frequently while I take it, because it makes my stomach hurt.

Thanks, I do like to know how stuff works. I knew it worked, just assumed that it was because it was a muscle relaxant.

In *my* day, they called menstruation "the curse" -- and I later realised it was indeed a curse for me as I was most randy when bleeding. Most guys wouldn't have anything to do with you while on the rag. Such a pity. Bleeding doesn't prevent one from having sex, but usually one or the other feels either uncomfortable or queasy about it.
But the good thing was masturbation relieved a lot of my cramping!
It's very individual, but the biological explanation is the fluctuation of hormones [what else is new, huh?] For some high estrogen turns them on, others feel horniest when it's low. Women are mysteries that's what makes us so interesting.

One of the solutions to this (the bleeding issue and the esthetics of such) is to have the woman insert a diaphragm before intercourse. That will "catch" any of the blood which is produced during that time. After intercourse, make sure, however, that you remove the diaphragm and allow the flow to resume normally.

My unfortunate experience exactly. I hope for women today it is not so, but I have my suspicions.
Guys, I'm wondering? Are you still yucked out or have attitudes evolved a bit over the past 20-30 years?
I'm not talking about the messy bit. I know it's messy, so if you and your g/f would rather not bother I get it. Life is messy and we don't always want to deal with that. But *attitudes* about menstrual blood -- have they changed over the years or not?

Dave - 22 Feb 2005 12:04 GMT >Guys, I'm wondering? Are you still yucked out or have attitudes >evolved a bit over the past 20-30 years? In general, no they have not, at least amongst the individuals I'm aware of who have been in that situation -- It's not something that exactly comes up in every day conversation.

I talk with a few female friends who have mentioned they were on their period and really wanted sex but their guy was grossed out.
Whether it's just the messiness or not I don't know, but I doubt it -- It would sound like fooling around in the shower would be the best solution.
My ex-g/f was always horny starting about a week before her period, then less so when she had cramps, then back to being horny for the first couple days of her period after the cramps have ended.
She would let me rub her and finger her a little, but if I pushed my fingers inside her she'd pull them out, and she refused oral.
Me -- It wouldn't and doesn't bother me, but I'd probably try just about anything a partner was interested in, if I was in the right mood.

> and really wanted sex but their guy was grossed out. My male partners seem less reluctant to have sex during my period than I am. (I'm not grossed out about it, but I don't want to make them messy; they don't seem to care.) Nor does the partner I swap fluids with seem to mind at all going down on me when I have my period.
serene, lucky

I would love to take a woman like a wild man and paint myself with her flow... like South American native body painting... but alas none of my lovers have ever gone for this... and typically would be out the door at even the mention of it...

I don't know why most men are so squeamish about menstruation. Personally, I have no qualms about performing cunnilingus (as long as there is no menstrual flow at the outset).

JustGB - 21 Feb 2005 21:03 GMT > Dear all, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Paulo Matos The short answer is that sex during my period and around ovulation time have almost always been an 11 on a scale of 1-10. This only became true, however, after I had had my first child. Prior to that there was quite a bit of pain associated with both menses (especially) and ovulation and sex was *not* what was on my mind while I was doubled over.

I'm trying to remember if I ever had a partner who wanted sex when I didn't. I can't remember back that far but suspect that if I could I'd discover that he'd convinced me pretty quickly.
I guess I'd have to say my answer is, "or what". But maybe my answer doesn't count 'cause it's hypothetical.

It's infrequent that I have sex just to please one of my partners who is more horny than I, but it's happened, and it's nice in its own way. I like making my lovers happy.

marko - 27 Feb 2005 12:21 GMT I only wish my wife was as giving!! She has a "horny" day or so just after her period starts and thats it. It's a good job I'm not the squeamish type as "relationships" wouldn't happen at all. It seems she doesn't have a sexy mind as its her body that tells her to get horny during this cycle. Any other guys out there have similar experiences??

For me, not that horny often means masturbating every other day instead of every day. Really horny means thinking about sex constantly, making little references and double endenders and perhaps masturbating twice a day instead of just once. Normal is once a day. Sex is pretty much whenever hubby is in the mood.
