My womanfriend becomes particularly proactive during her period Should I go along with it or refuse?

Written by: Bestvibe Published on July 14,2025

Preface

Recently, we received a private message from a young man: ‘My girlfriend is usually quite reserved, but during her period, she becomes particularly proactive and wants to be intimate.

Is this normal? I'm afraid it will affect her health, so I always hold back and don't touch her, but she gets angry and says I don't love her enough.’

I believe many couples share similar concerns.

When women are more proactive than usual before and after their periods, many men feel both happy and worried, wanting to satisfy her but also afraid of affecting her health.

Today, let's discuss why women are more likely to feel desire during their periods, whether it's okay to have sex during that time, and how to better care for her.

Why do women feel particularly sexual during their periods?

Many people think that periods mean women are moody and easily irritable, but that's not all.

Some women actually experience increased sexual desire during their periods, primarily due to the following two reasons.

Hormonal changes

A woman's body experiences cyclical fluctuations in hormone levels.

During menstruation, overall hormone levels decrease, but the relative proportions within the body shift.

For example, testosterone levels may be relatively higher, and since testosterone is closely linked to sexual desire, this can lead to stronger cravings in women.

The effect of psychological relaxation

The likelihood of pregnancy during menstruation is low, a fact well-known to many women.

There is also a ‘compensation effect’: it's like being restricted from eating certain foods for a week by a doctor, then finally being able to eat normally again, naturally wanting to eat a bit more.

Desires that might be self-controlled under normal circumstances may surface during menstruation.

These factors cause some women to be more proactive and desirous before and after menstruation than usual.

Can you have sex during your period?

At this point, many people will ask: Since she is so proactive, can we go ahead and have sex?

Strictly speaking, your period is not the best time to have sex, mainly for the following reasons.

Higher risk of infection

During menstruation, the cervix is slightly open, and the endometrium is in a state of shedding and repair, with many small wounds inside.

At the same time, menstrual blood provides a good breeding ground for bacteria.

If you have sex during this time, it is easier for external bacteria to enter the uterine cavity, increasing the risk of endometritis and pelvic inflammation.

Weakened hormonal and mucus protection

During menstruation, oestrogen levels are at their lowest, and the cervix secretes less mucus, reducing its ability to block bacteria and making self-cleaning more difficult.

This makes it easier for bacteria to ascend and cause infection.

Recurrent inflammation may also affect fallopian tube function, increasing the risk of infertility.

May cause increased menstrual flow or cycle irregularities

Sexual intercourse can cause pelvic and genital congestion, and the already fragile endometrium may be further stimulated, leading to increased bleeding or prolonged menstrual duration.

In some cases, it may even cause new blood vessel ruptures, resulting in cycle irregularities.

What should you do if you really want to have sex during your period?

Since there are many risks involved, many doctors recommend avoiding sex during your period.

But what if you really want to? How can you communicate and take care of each other's feelings?

Tips for women

If you really feel the urge for intimacy, consider alternative ways to connect, such as more hugging, kissing, touching, or gentle caresses with hands or mouth to satisfy emotional and physical needs.

Wait until two to three days after your period has completely ended before resuming normal sexual activity.

This not only helps protect your physical health but also reduces the risk of infection.

Tips for Men

If you notice your girlfriend is particularly proactive during her period, don't immediately refuse or show resistance, as this may make her feel rejected.

You can spend more time chatting with her, watching shows together, or enjoying good food to distract her, which is also a way to show love.

If you can't control yourself, make sure to maintain cleanliness and protection, avoid days with heavy menstrual flow or severe abdominal pain, be gentle, pay attention to hygiene, and avoid overly vigorous activities.  

Conclusion

In general, it is normal for women to experience increased sexual desire during their menstrual period.

This is the result of a combination of physiological hormones and psychological factors.

Although it is possible to have sex during menstruation, it does increase the risk of infection and inflammation, making it an unhealthy choice.

After menstruation, you can enjoy the sweetness of being together again, which is not only safe but also more comfortable.
