The primary concern with finishing inside a woman during her period is the possibility of pregnancy, though it might be perceived as less likely.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Pregnancy is still possible: Sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for up to 5 days. While ovulation typically doesn't occur during menstruation, menstrual cycles can vary, and ovulation can sometimes occur earlier than expected, especially in shorter cycles. If ovulation happens soon after the period ends, sperm deposited during menstruation could still fertilize the egg.
-
Risk of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Menstruation doesn't provide protection against STIs. In fact, some studies suggest that STIs might be more easily transmitted during menstruation. Using a condom is always the best way to reduce the risk of STIs.
-
Hygiene and Comfort: Some people may find menstruation to be messy or uncomfortable during sex. However, others don't mind. It's a matter of personal preference and open communication between partners is key. Towels or other protective coverings can help manage any mess.
-
Period Sex Benefits: Some women report that having sex during their period helps relieve cramps and discomfort. The orgasm can release endorphins, which act as natural pain relievers.
In summary, while pregnancy may be perceived as less likely, it is still possible to get pregnant from unprotected sex during menstruation. Furthermore, the risk of STIs remains the same (or perhaps higher) during menstruation. Consistent condom use is crucial for preventing both pregnancy and STIs.
