My boyfriend wants period sex?!

Question

My boyfriend recently told me he is interested in having sex while I'm toward the end of my period. He says his friend does it with his girlfriend and they really enjoy it, so now he wants to try it too.
I really don't know what to think or say about it. I am really self-conscious about my period, and I don't know if I would enjoy it because I would be so concerned about how it looks and feels for him.
My period has a certain scent (not an unhygienic one, just a strong blood smell) and I feel like that might gross him out. I don't want to start doing it just to find out he doesn't like it, then be awkward and embarrassed after. I have lots of uncertainties and I would just like some opinions. Thanks!

Answer

If he wants to try so much, maybe you guys should try first when your period is lighter. Just put down a dark towel and use a condom if you don't want to deal with blood on his penis. I personally like it, once you get over the self consciousness it's pretty good. Maybe avoid positions in which the blood could make it messier. In the end, it's a totally natural thing and it smells as it should. Also, other point, it will be super lubricated by the blood, so it's good if you struggle with dryness

Answer

I think you should tell him how you feel about it and fully discuss it with him. If you truly don't want to do it just tell him and he should respect your wishes. Also, sometimes we think we smell bad on our periods when we really don't, our hormones make us sensitive to th scent but it might not be as bad as you think
