There is nothing dirty or unclean about menstruation. Blood from menstruation is no more likely to infect a woman’s partner than sweat, saliva, or vaginal secretions caused by sexual arousal. We know that menstrual fluid itself is not infectious, and it does not cause disease or sickness. Some women today enjoy their periods as a proud reminder of their femininity. Many others see it as an uncomfortable inconvenience that they could do well without. And many have found that they can enjoy their sexuality and express themselves sexually during menstruation.
