Transcript
00:00There's this one time in high school, I have definitely like...
00:04I actually don't know if I want to say that on camera.
00:06No!
00:08Understandable.
00:09My dad might see this.
00:10Hi everyone, I'm Laura, and I want to talk about sex on my period.
00:14Ready, Hannah?
00:17What do I do, Lauren?
00:19Big question.
00:20Do you have sex on your period, or are you one of those people where you're like,
00:23nope, stay away from me, can't do it?
00:26Sometimes I feel like I'm hornier when I'm on my period.
00:29Internally, I'm like, oh yeah, I want to do it.
00:32But then it's like actually like, I'm like, I actually, I don't know how I feel about this.
00:36You have to put like a towel, it's just like, what is sexy about that?
00:39It's a disco.
00:40It's a whole production.
00:41Yeah.
00:42It's a lot, you know?
00:43It's like a Broadway musical.
00:44There's like a lot of things going on.
00:46It is.
00:46It depends.
00:47I mean, for the majority of my period, I feel disgusting.
00:51Then towards like the end of my period, I am way more sexually aroused than normal, I guess.
00:57But at the same time, I still don't necessarily want to be touched.
01:02The first two days, I want to kill myself.
01:04Absolutely.
01:05I want to die.
01:06I want to be in my room and I don't want to talk to anyone.
01:08And then after that, I'm like, bring it on.
01:12Bring it all on.
01:13I want to have all the sex, all the sex, all the sex.
01:16What would you do to like get prepared for period sex when you were to have it?
01:21Shower for a few hours until I feel like maybe I'm like clean.
01:28Right.
01:28It's true.
01:28It's like, I want to be in the shower bathing, using my wash.
01:33Right.
01:33And then pull out the tampon really quick and then I'm like, okay, let's go.
01:36Right.
01:38You have to be so prepared and like so methodical about it.
01:41Right.
01:41There's always the like, okay, I want to do this to you.
01:44You know what?
01:45Keep telling me what you want to do to me.
01:46I'm going to lay this towel down.
01:48And it's like, and it makes it like really exciting.
01:51Keep telling me what you want to do to me.
01:52I'm going to lay this towel down.
01:55For me, it's a really good way to sort of slow things down and have a conversation with my partner
02:01or the person I'm having sex with where I'm like, okay, one, we are not fluid bonded or we are
02:07fluid bonded.
02:08So that conversation comes up, which is always a great conversation.
02:12And not being fluid bonded basically just means that you are using protection like condoms and dental dams and latex
02:18gloves.
02:19And it's just a way to stay safe and to be accountable and have autonomy over your body.
02:24It's really, I really like it.
02:26Do you feel like the conversation has to happen a little faster?
02:29Like, or is this like not a worry?
02:30I feel like it has progressed the more that we've become just best friends and it's just a part of
02:37life.
02:38And it's a part of like, that's never, it's not going to go away.
02:40Right.
02:41So I feel like that's a really cool moment to get to with somebody too, where you do feel comfortable
02:46and it's not something that is an insecurity anymore.
02:48Maybe it's not ideal, but if you want to do it, then you want to do it.
02:53Right.
02:54Of course.
02:54What would you want your partner to know about your period and when you're on your period
02:59and how that like precludes to sex?
03:02I know some women do feel, you know, way sexier on their period.
03:06I feel way more disgusting on my period.
03:08And so like, be mindful of that.
03:10And if I turn down that advance, it's not anything personal.
03:13It's just because there's blood coming from my vagina.
03:16Right.
03:16And I don't feel very good about it.
03:18Yeah.
03:18So be like, I mean, serious.
03:21Yeah.
03:21For me, what I've noticed is I'm like, okay, well, why don't we try something else?
03:24Like what?
03:25Like what?
03:27Let's get the drinks out.
03:28Get your no pads out.
03:30Sensory play.
03:31Let's try like spanking.
03:33Sex is so much more than just like penis inside a vagina, like all the time.
03:39Like there's so much more to it.
03:40But I wanted to ask you a question.
03:42Go for it.
03:43You're pregnant.
03:44I am.
03:45I didn't just eat the whole tray.
03:47If you saw me rubbing my belly before.
03:49Um, sex on your period versus like sex while you're pregnant.
03:53Is there, I mean like obviously there's a difference.
03:55But is there one that you prefer more?
03:57I would much rather have sex on my period than sex while pregnant.
04:01It's definitely different.
04:02It feels different.
04:08Yeah.
04:14I think when it comes to positions while pregnant, there's definitely some that are just not
04:20gonna work anymore.
04:22Sorry.
04:22So, when you do have sex with your period, are there positions that you do not care for?
04:29And are there positions that you really, really like?
04:31Like for me to be bent over or to have sex from behind is really, really difficult.
04:37Because it's just that person has more access to more of your body.
04:42Um, and it hurts.
04:44Um, versus maybe like being on top where I can control more of the situation.
04:49I would not want to be on top because when gravity takes over,
04:55that could be a very messy situation when you're on your period.
04:58I think that good old missionary might be my limit.
05:05I was gonna say that I really like standing up or bending over or whatever it is.
05:11So, that's really crazy that we all have different ideas of that.
05:14If you have a favorite sex position when you're on your period, comment below and let us know.
05:21Or maybe we'll try it.
05:22Yeah.
05:22Maybe we'll try it out.
05:23Maybe it could add itself to the line.
05:26Just be at home like reading comments.
05:28Like, babe, this one.
05:30Sex on your period.
05:32Some of us like it.
05:33Some of us aren't totally into it.
05:35And both of those answers are perfectly normal and okay.
05:38Can't wait to hear what you have to say about this.
05:40He never knew how it sounded like a man.
05:40The two two may be were a gibberish.
05:41By the way it's still there.
05:41There's a lot of design, not you can put all the top-notes for Canvas.
