[ADVISORY: DON'T EAT WHILE READING THIS.]
“Ewwwww!” I practically scream as my throat closes and gag reflex kicks in. “I’m sooo not a fan of having sex when I’m on my period,” I tell Desiree [NSFW] during yesterday’s brunch in Fort Greene. She disagrees. Like many women and men, she’s okay with “sex on red day.” Me? Let a man enter my slippery red canal and — possibly, if the guy so desires — go oral for a few drops of the thirsty red liquid? My eyes water at the thought. “I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit,” I tell her. I whimper and pick up my glass, quickly dousing my throat with fluid to clear the taste of vomit. Desiree smiles.
To be fair, I should explain that I’ve had sex on my period before. Once, I think. It was in Chicago. A male friend that I’ll call “Dude” and I were out drinking and partying. At the end of the night, we went back to my place and took off our clothes. Tired and tipsy, I forgot I was clearing the final day of my period. (It was almost over, but not quite.) As Dude went down on me, he quickly squished up his face, used his fingers to wipe his tongue and cried out in disgust: “¡ay Dios mío! The taste!! YUCK!!! The taaaaaste!!!!” That was the first — and, needless to say, LAST — time I attempted to have crimson sex.
Of course, I know the benefits of canoing the red river: hormones rage, horny level goes up and the risk of pregnancy goes down. And, not to mention, dancing the horizontal Tango reduces cramps. Yeah, yeah, yeah whatever. I’m still not a fan. Sex is best when I feel sexy. I don’t really feel desirable or turned on when I’m bloated, messy, carrying an extra 5 pounds of water weight and flowing like the Mississippi. But, hey, don’t agree with me. You’re feel free to have your own thoughts. So, what say you? Sex & blood — “I love that sh*t” or “that’s f*cking disgusting”?

It’s not that big a deal same thing happened to me I was with this sexy lady for the first time. Went low on her and it seemed normal but when we did the intercourse thing I notice some blood on her leg and pulled out and the condom was full of blood. So we stopped. Years later I did give someone head during her period it wasn’t to bad she had a tampon on and I guess that absorbed all the blood and I just lick the clits. Not to bad I’ll do it again.
