Hello Doc Rica,
Now that lockdowns are easing up, my boyfriend from Singapore wants to come over during his work from home week. Nagpla-plano kami ng boyfriend ko ng short staycation somewhere na puwede kaming mag-solo at makapagsex. Kaya lang pag tinitignan ko ang schedule, mukhang magcocoincide with my period.
Paano po kaya ‘yun? Okay lang po ba kaming magsex kahit meron ako?

Dear Ding Dong,
Madaming challenges ang long distance relationship lalo na during this pandemic. Kaya naman understandable ang iyong effort na sulitin ang chance mo kasama ang iyong boyfriend. ‘Wag kang mabahala kung mukhang mapula ang inyong magiging situation sa inyong sexcapade while he is here.
Of course, it might get messy when you have your period. Maghanda ng towel or sapin dahil baka magstain ang inyong bedsheet. When you are active during your period, there are cases na nagsasabing nakakapagpawala ng menstrual cramps or dysmenorrhea. Nakakatulong ang foreplay and orgasm to distract you from any discomfort. The blood can also act as a natural lubricant that can make sex more pleasurable for you and your partner.
That being said, you have to consider the chances na magkaroon ng bacterial infection during your menstrual cycle. Researches say na mas madaling makakapag-penetrate ang bacteria sa upper reproductive tract. Similarly, mayroon ding chance na magkaroon ng sexually transmitted or infection. Kaya kailangan pa ring magpractice ng safe sex as I always recommend. Dapat mo ring tandaan na even if you have your period, meron pa ring chance that you can get pregnant. Hanggang five days kasi ang buhay ng similya ng lalaki sa loob ng iyong reproductive tract. Habang buhay ang sperm, may chance na magfertilize ito ng egg at makakabuo kayo.
Don’t let this red flag get in the way of you and your boyfriend having fun. Try different positions or places sa inyong staycation. The shower may be one of them. Be safe, enjoy and “go with the flow.”
With love and lust,
Doc Rica
