Can You Have Sex During Your Period?
Of course.
Millions of couples do it every month. For most healthy people it's completely normal.
Some women get much hornier during their period. Others just want to stay in bed with a hot water bottle. It depends on the person.
The same goes for men. Plenty of guys couldn't care less about a little blood. Others lose interest the moment a period starts. Neither is right or wrong.
Talking About It
This is where most of the problems start. Not because of the blood. Because nobody wants to mention it.
A lot of girls, especially with someone new, feel embarrassed saying they have their period. Instead they'll say they don't have sex on the first date, they're tired, or they're just not feeling it tonight. Sometimes that's true. Sometimes they're simply trying to avoid an awkward conversation.
The funny thing is that many guys wouldn't have minded if she'd just said it. Just talk about it openly.
Some couples wait a couple of days. Others throw a towel on the bed or jump in the shower. Once both people know what's going on, the awkwardness usually disappears.
Is It Safe?
Usually yes.
The main thing to remember is that menstrual blood can increase exposure to blood-borne infections if one partner has an STD or HIV/AIDS. If it's a new partner, casual hookup or Escort, using a condom is still the smart move.

Can You Get Pregnant?
People still believe you can't.
That's wrong.
The chances are lower, but pregnancy is still possible. Sperm can survive for several days and some women ovulate surprisingly soon after their period finishes.
Don't use your period as birth control.
Hygiene
Nothing complicated.
Most people just put an old towel on the bed.
Some prefer the shower because cleanup takes about thirty seconds.
A lot of women say period sex feels better because there's more natural lubrication. Others think it's messy and would rather wait a few days.
Oral Sex During Menstruation
Some couples enjoy it.
Some won't even consider it.
If blood isn't your thing, don't do it. If you're worried about STDs, use protection.
Menstrual Discs, Soft Cups and Sponges
This is something a lot of people don't even know exists.
Many women use menstrual discs or Softcups during sex. If they're inserted properly, plenty of partners never notice them at all. Fingers are more likely to find the edge than a penis.
Within the Escort business they're not unusual either. Some Sex workers keep working throughout their period using menstrual discs or similar products. Some tell clients beforehand. Others don't mention it because there is little or no visible bleeding.
Some escorts even advertise period sex and charge extra because there are fewer clients looking for it. Others won't offer vaginal sex until their period has finished.
In poorer countries and very low-end prostitution scenes you'll also hear about improvised methods. Natural sea sponges, cosmetic makeup sponges and even household cleaning sponges have all been discussed on sex forums over the years because they're cheap and easy to find. They're generally considered much less hygienic and less reliable than products actually designed for menstruation.
Period Sex and Escorts
Every escort has her own rules.
Some stop seeing clients for two or three days every month.
Others work as usual with a menstrual disc and never mention it unless the client asks.
Some clients specifically ask for period sex and are happy to pay extra. Others immediately cancel if they find out. That's why experienced escorts usually bring it up before the booking if they think it matters.
No surprises. No arguments. Everyone knows what they're getting.
Does It Feel Different?
For some women, definitely.
Some describe stronger orgasms and increased sensitivity.
Others feel bloated, sore or simply don't enjoy penetration.
You'll only know by trying.
