“I really struggle to have sex without some kind of cover-up/top on. I get so in my head about it. I don’t like my stomach to be seen, let alone touched, and the worry about it jiggling around during makes me feel awful and unattractive.

“Silence is downright unnerving. The only man I was with who did this was emotionally repressed and struggled to express his emotions. That’s alarm bells right there for you.” —u/Persia102 “Silence makes me feel like I can’t make the noises I want to make, and then I start over-thinking, and then it’s just a whole mess. Then the mood is gone.” —u/karamel_kupcake “Not a fan of period sex — though I wish I was, because my libido always decides that that’s a great time to make an appearance. Preparation for the mess is too much, but for me, it’s also the smell. I have a super-sensitive nose and cannot handle the smell of everything during period time.” —u/to_neverwhere
