Everything You Need To Know About Masturbating On Your Period
DO. IT. Seriously, it helps with cramps and obviously improves your mood so why not try? It may be a little “gross” and messy at first, but once you get past the blood, it’s just like normal. There’s nothing to be ashamed of, period or not, masturbation is totally normal and feels fucking good so WHO CARES?? There’s such a weird stigma about periods and female masturbation, but there shouldn’t be because it’s no one else’s business but yours. So go for it, try out masturbating on your period!
1. GIRLS MASTURBATE TOO!
The main thing you should know about masturbating on your period is that it’s totally safe and ok and normal. Before and during your period, there’s a surge of hormones through your body and while for many this just means being more emotional, it can also make you more horny. There. It’s been said. Girls are still horny on their period!! (Maybe even a little more than normal.) That’s really all there is to it. If you’re into the idea of trying it, just go for it!
The same precautions should be taken as if you were just doing this normally, make sure whatever you’re using, your hands or toys, are clean. This step is always an important one even when you’re not on your period. Other than that, do whatever pleases you! There isn’t anything special that should be done, unless you’re a little squeamish around blood. If this is the case, you can always try in the shower. It’s the easiest option for keeping clean and still having a little fun. You can also always just use your hands or a vibrator over your panties for an easy mess free orgasm.
2. Cramps are no match for a good ol’ orgasm
Not only do you get to feel good for those few seconds, but orgasming on your period can even help alleviate cramps. Orgasms, no matter how they’re achieved, release endorphins which can help relieve headaches, backaches, and just period pain in general. So if this can potentially stop the pain for a bit, why not give it a go?? There really isn’t anything dirty or gross about it. It’s just your body doing what it needs to do, it’s natural. All you have to do is wash your hands or toys or whatever with normal soap and water and everything is great again.
3. It’s your body
Masturbating can also just make you feel better about yourself during a time when your emotions are kind of out of whack. Self-care is especially important during your period when your body may make you feel like someone just ran you over with a bus. What better way to feel sexy and good about yourself than by doing something sexual? Even if the feeling is short lived, the extra dose of dopamine can put you in a better mood in the long run.
There really isn’t a downside to masturbating on your period. The only reason this is seen as gross or dirty or wrong is because we’ve been taught that periods are all those things. Which it’s not. Nothing bad will happen to you, in reality it can only help you and make you feel better so don’t let the fear of being “dirty” stop you from experimenting with your own body. As long as you’re being safe and doing what feels right to you, fuck what other people think. Masturbating, no matter your gender, is just fun. It does no harm to anyone else and it lets you explore your own pleasures and your own body in a completely safe way. A little blood in the name of pleasure and relief from pain is definitely worth trying it out.
