    Do you ever masturbate while you're menstruating?

    Some people feel more 'horny' when they are menstruating - so it makes sense for people to and it isn't gross.

    I personally don't because expulsion of more blood than usual makes a mess and I hate the smell of menstrual blood. (Sorry if that was too graphic).

    Yes. Some people even have sex on their periods. I don't get "more expulsion of blood". In fact if I'm turned on i get less for a bit, as it's sort of, interrupted by...sexual fluids, rather than blood. Also sorry if that's too much information.

    I've also heard sex is good for cramps, so i guess if you're using the right muscles in your abdomen masturbating it could have a similar affect?

    Oh it's not that bad. I'd say go for it.
    That's just not for me.

    No, that's painful. For me, anyway.

    I don't have periods anymore, but when I did I actually tried this and I wouldn't do it again. For me it wasn't the mess that put me off, but the pain. It was really painful; there was a lot of added pressure and it worsened cramps. Ouch.

    I have, and even though its pretty gross it helps A LOT with cramps after an orgasm. it starts off painful, but it does get better as you continue and it helps. i think you should try it if you haven't.

    Yes because I get really horny so I just rub myself through my pad. It helps with cramps.

    This I've done before.

    I can and sometimes do the first day and the last couple days. It can help with cramps. The middle two days, though, I almost never do because it hurts and the possible mess isn't worth it.

    I avoid it as much as I can because I hate the smell and it feels gross to me but I do get hornier during that time of the month and sometimes it reaches a point where I have to masturbate or I go crazy.

    I always keep a towel and tissues to clean off most of it (and keep the blood from getting anything dirty). Then it's off to the bathroom to clean up and curse biology.

    I get horny right before mine starts so I usually do then, but during my period I'm in way to much pain to do much of anything. Near the end I might, when they flow is really light.

    Never. I actually get way less horny during that time, and honestly acknowledging it just makes the dysphoria worse. Once I start testosterone I wont have to worry about it anymore, thankfully.

    (Not to mention, I don't get cramps. So alleviating the pain isn't ever a problem.)

    Sometimes. My periods aren't very painful or heavy. I wear tampons and usually don't use penetration to masturbate anyway, so really, there's no reason not to. No mess. I don't masturbate more or less when on my period, it's actually not a factor since it doesn't change anything for me.

    Only in the last days. It's kinda messy, so I try to avoid it. My cramps are not too hard on me in comparison to other people's, but sometimes they are so painful I can't even move, haha.

    Not during heavy days but sometimes on lighter days. Most girls do get hornier during their period + more sensitive down there so yeah. It's annoying.

    I heard it's supposed to relieve cramps but I don't think it does. But I don't because I don't really want to get my fingers all bloody.

    For some reason I'm more easily aroused (not the first day or two of course because then I just want to take a nap to escape the pain of cramps) when I'm on my period but I think it would be gross to finger myself and get my fingers all bloody so if I feel the need to masturbate I can just grind against my bed or something
