Yay for fingers!!
I started my period a couple of days early this month (due to my removing the Ring a day early), which was a bummer since I only have a week left with ktspktsp before I am off to Africa & Iceland for 2.5 months (for research). We wanted to have lots of intense sex this week!!
Lucky for me, he has no hangups about periods, and I get hornier when I'm on the rag anyway. We find that the menstrual fluid increases the lubrication, so things move just as smoothly as usual, if not moreso. He always wears a condom, so that helps with easy cleanup. For the bed, we put down a plastic grocery bag under my butt, with a few paper towels laid on top of that to soak up any liquid. (We don't use cloth towels, since those are harder to clean). And away we go!
The only difference is that my cervix gets quite tender during my period so he can't go as deep and hard, but we are just fine with gentle sex at those times. Mmm it was great last night!!! Fingers are very good starters.
