Ask Doc Laitan

Dear Doc,
What if my boyfriend wants sex during my menstrual period?
Funmi

Dear Funmi,
There are many impurities that are let out of the body during the monthly menstruation, some of which
can cause irritation to your genitalia, skin around the penile shaft and even give you emotional dissatisfaction. If you must have sex during this time, wash the area generously with water before allowing him. You can also postpone till when your period is lighter and in the meantime if you practise oral sex, you can use that as substitute.
