Erin asks :

Hi Lucy,

I just had sex with my boyfriend last night and I thought my period had ended but it didn't and it got all over him. He was so calm and caring and I was freaking out and kept apologizing. I’m so scared he's going think I'm disgusting or something. Is this normal? And does he really not care or do guys get really grossed out?

You are not the first and you won't be the last woman to think her period is over, have sex and find that it's not. Some couples enjoy sex during this time, others avoid it, but the point is it's natural and normal for a woman to bleed once a month- it's certainly not disgusting. If he was caring towards you-chances are he wasn't all that bothered. If you have an active sex life- it can be frustrating to wait a few days so a little blood is to be expected if you want to have sex during this time.

If you have sex without a condom normally then you will know what it's like to feel his bodily fluids on you, so if he was calm, then he probably just sees it as the same sort of thing.

A lot of men don't mind because they are having sex after all- it's only the ones who have a fear of blood who might have an issue with it.

Think of it this way- you have shared a moment- you feel embarrassed- but if it happens again- it won't be as embarrassing the next time.

As a couple you will experience things together that are cringe worthy but the longer you are an item and the more of them you have- the less of an issue they will become. We are all human and sometimes our bodily functions can make us blush- but we all have them. 

You might even find that you deliberately start to have sex around this time. All I would suggest is to remember to put a towel down on your bed so it's doesn't stain your sheets.
