WHAT ARE THE RISKS?Pregnancy: Many people believe that a woman cannot become pregnant while on her period. This is not true. While it is less likely than normal, it is certainly not impossible. Consider the following possibilities:
" Sperm can live inside a woman's body for several days after intercourse. It's possible that this timeframe will extend into the beginning of the woman's next fertile period.
" If a woman has a short cycle, it's possible that her bleeding may be ending just as her next ovulation is starting.
" Not all vaginal bleeding is the result of menstruation. It's not uncommon for a woman to have some small spotting or other mid-cycle bleeding that isn't a part of menstruation. If she mistakes this for her period, she may be having unprotected sex during her most fertile time.
Disease: Blood is a great carrier for infectious diseases, so having sex during your period can increase the risk of transmitting an STD. Unless you are in a trusting, healthy, disease-free relationship, you should always use a condom when you have sex. Period sex is no exception.
Note: Kids dun try tis at home.
