Its your first time you have decided to have sex with your partner while she is on her period and on question keeps playing through your mind is it safe?

Believe it or not, the answer is "yes". As long as you don’t mind the mess, sex during menstruation is safe. Let me rectify that: about as safe as it can be expected. Blood is a medium in which certain infectious agents multiply, so you might want to consider that before starting. Also, the chance of getting HIV is probably sky-high with all that blood around. Better use a condom if you are not sure of yourself or your partner. Still, there is no medical reason why a mutually monogamous couple (which is also free of STDs) should not have sex during menses.

However if you want sex and are not scared of anything then you can just go ahead and do it. Yet it is a good idea for the worst of her period to be over is you want to make it fun. Putting a dark or red towel over the sheets is a good idea as well as it will help to protect them. It’s fine for you to do any position but it is highly recommended to limit blood flow, for the male to stay on top. The use of a menstural cup or diaphragm will also help to keep some blood in for a bit.

For risks brought on by sex during mensturation are the increase in pelvic infections, HIV and even pregnancy. This is all as the cervix widens during this time. And yes you can get pregnant, whilst it may be rare i has happened a few times. Just make sure you have fun whilst playing it safe.
