Never have sex during your period until you read this – #3 is very important!

5. The “messy factor” doesn’t have to hold you back.

Hechtman and Streicher both cite the messy factor as one of the most common barriers people face when considering period sex.

Once you no longer have to worry about staining the sheets, you’ll be freed up to focus on your and your partner’s pleasure.
