So let’s get the taboos surrounding masturbation and menstruation straight: people are often horrified when they hear the word “period,” “menstruation,” or “blood,” but are even more disturbed when people say “masturbate” in a normal conversation. We get that not everybody likes to openly discuss these topics, but it’s also important to know that masturbating and being on your period are two completely NORMAL and HEALTHY things. So, before we dive into why masturbating on your period is totally beneficial for you, remember that there’s no shame in having a period (it’s literally the essence of your existence), and it’s most definitely not dirty or disgraceful to pleasure yourself (ever heard of an orgasm? Those things are magical).
Amazingly, the showed that 90% of the participants would recommend masturbation to combat period pains to a friend, with a whopping 85% planning to uphold their masturbation routine to combat period pains.
Hello, I’m 24 years old and I have really bad PSM. I would always take painkillers and they would hardly help. I remember reading an article back when I was 23 years old about how masturbation can help relieve period cramps. So, literally 2am due to the fact I couldn’t sleep because of it. I pull out my trusty vibrator and began showing myself some self love and care. And I honestly orgasmed about 3 times. The shivers and quake really helped with my cramps and I can sleep way comfortably now. Thank you!!
I’m new to masturbation at nearly 50 years of age. It has given me a beuatifil new lease on how to cope with anxiety and ohhhh so much joy words don’t justify how nice it feels and I’m not sexually active as I haven’t loved anyone since my fiance but this beautiful expression of self love is just arousing for the first time since my late fiance and I split. So nice at this age to love my own body and the sensational joy this self love making gives me. Thanks for letting me share as its very special. I had a lovely session last night and I had my period and again when I got home from work as I live alone. Thanks for letting me share this special pleasure.
If you’re masturbating with a partner (mutual masturbation) and touching each others’ genitals, there’s a possible risk of pregnancy. This can happen if ejaculate enters the vagina and you’re in your fertile window. However, research has found the probability of being in your fertile window on the first couple of days of your period is close to zero, and may rise to about 2% on day four (12). There is also a possibility of contracting an STI, especially if you are with an untested or new sexual partner. Using a condom reduces the risk of pregnancy and STIs.
