Hi, There is a lengthy article on the website that addresses this subject. [url=www.the-clitoris.com/f_html/period.htm] www.the-clitoris.com/f_html/period.htm The surveys on the website indicate 35% of women have engaged in activities that involved menstrual blood so while it isn't an unusual experience it isn't necessarily a common one. Social and personal mores about menstruation are likely a reason why, both partners may feel it is inappropriate, the woman may feel undesirable, etc. The logistics of addressing the blood flow is likely a significant barrier, though a towel is a easy solution during but clean up after could be a problem depending on the situation. Hormonal changes within a woman's body are another factor to consider, like how it affects her desire and sexual responsiveness, and this varies from woman to woman. The health concerns are that when blood is present then there is an increased risk of disease transmission between partners. The menstrual blood or blood& in general does not cause the disease. It is just that if one person has a& blood born disease they can infect their partner when they exchange body fluids that contain blood or traces of blood.& If a couple is already exchanging body fluids through unprotected sex there is an increased risk, as with anal sex, but they are already at risk. Couples need to decide how much risk they are willing to accept. Being tested for sexually transmitted diseases is a good idea, especially if you or your partner have had more than one sexual partner. Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) are very common and many do not present symptoms but can have a major impact on a woman's reproductive health. Brad
