Have you ever noticed that sometimes, right before your period, you’re pretty much insatiable? You could go for hours, and if it’s intense enough, you might even outpace whatever your partner can put out.
Why does that happen?
We’re going to walk through how your period and libido are wired together, and how you can enjoy that same intense desire any time of the month.
Hormones are the Key to It
A few things push your libido through the roof before your period, but the dominant driver is your hormonal balance, specifically your estrogen and progesterone levels.
After you ovulate, your uterine lining has to be maintained to hold your egg safely, so your body floods itself with progesterone. That unfortunately dampens your libido and makes arousal genuinely hard to reach.
If a few days pass and the egg wasn’t fertilized, your body begins shedding that lining, which means rapidly dropping your progesterone.
This stretch lasts a few days rather than flipping on instantly, and because progesterone has fallen while estrogen is still high, you can get extremely turned on and ready to go at a moment’s notice. That kind of swing in desire across your cycle is completely normal.
You Tend to Be More Sensitive Physically
A lot happens in your body while you’re menstruating. Even before the main week arrives, your spicy areas tend to grow more sensitive.
Sometimes that reads as a good thing, with more feeling than usual, which is great for maximizing pleasure. Other times it tips into soreness and tenderness to touch, and while that’s less ideal, the rubbing and stimulation of sex can be much-needed relief that makes it even better than usual.
This is a deeply personal thing, though. Not everyone enjoys being touched once things feel sore, and you might be very specific about which touches feel good and which you want nowhere near you during that time.
Emotional Sensitivity
Pop culture loves to turn it into a punchline, but the emotional sensitivity you feel during certain parts of your cycle is serious business, and it isn’t purely a drawback. It can actually work in your favor.
Sex has a lot to do with your mindset, and most people stay closed off and restrained by default. They worry about how their feelings might land on the people around them, even valid ones, and how being vulnerable could ripple through the relationship down the line.
When you’re running a little more emotional than usual, those guards come down. Under the right conditions, you may find yourself more vulnerable with your partner and more open to romance, especially if they’re caring and accommodating during that time.
It’s not only the negative feelings that get amplified. The good ones, being accepted, cherished, and cared for, get turned up just as much.
Using This to Your Advantage in the Bedroom
Now that you can see your period in a different light, let’s talk about turning it into a once-a-month experience you’ll love. It’s a bit more involved than spotting the window and having sex.
Since your emotions are more fluid and easier to sway, tread carefully. Make a point to tell your partner what you like, what you don’t, and how you’re feeling. That protects your emotional state, and it handles the physical side too, since your fun bits will be tender.
Lay out what you’re feeling and how to work with it upfront, and your partner won’t mishandle your body and yank you out of the mood with a careless touch. At least we certainly hope they won’t. Listening is everything in a relationship.
Past that, it comes down to timing. Your body will guide you, but the window is short and easy to miss. Starting too early is tough since progesterone is still blocking your libido, yet wait too long and your period arrives, dropping you into a completely different phase of your cycle.
