Period! Tampons! Maxi-pads! Douche! etc etc.

Hopefully that scared some men away. lol

Serious question--and you don't have to answer it on here, you can message me, but I'm just wondering when it is your time of the month does having an orgasm (by masturbating/sex/whatever) ease any of your PMS symptoms? I feel like when I have an orgasm that my body relaxes and then blood just shoots out of me. (I know gross, tmi). I feel it helps with moving the time right along. Also, I heard having an orgasm burns calories. Any truth?

    I don't even touch myself during tom. lol

    But my roommate said that if she orgasimed during hers it would add a day to her period, and if she actually had sex it would add 2 days. She's an odd duck though.

    The uterine contractions during orgasm will help to decrease pain and cramping. If you go to any of the reputable women's health sites (just google) you will find the detailed medical information that fully explains why this can be helpful, and other pain relieving tips.
