Is it bad or unhealthy to have sex when you're on your period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is nothing wrong with having sex while on your period. It is not harming you. Now if you are having cramping it may make the cramping worse for a short time. And some people have pain with sex during the period. So some people may choose to not have sex during the period for their personal reasons. But sex during the period isn't harmful.
