Good news for you! There is no medical reason you can't have sex with your partner when she is bleeding, in fact, lots of women LOVE having sex during their periods as it makes them feel more ready to romp! Now, if she DOESN'T want to have sex while she's bleeding, well, that's a different answer. Then you have to wait for her to tell you she's ready to play again. Some men love having sex when their partner is bleeding: oral, anal or vaginal. Some guys refer to themselves having earned their "bloodwings" when they have oral/vaginal sex with their bleeding partners and pronounce that they earned them with pride. If you are squemish about coming in contact with her blood, (which is really quite clean) there is also a product you can purchase called INSTEAD, which is a menstrual cup a woman uses during her period instead of a pad or a tampon. It is worn internally, close to her cervix and she can wear it twice as long as a tampon. Toxic shock syndrome is not associated with it and it allows her to have sex during her period without her partner coming in contact with her menstrual blood, as it collects it. Check out www.softcup.com to order it online or go to your local Target, a lot of them sell it in the menstrual aisle. So, play away, as long as she's comfortable with it of course. And remember, a woman can get pregnant at any time during the month, even when she's bleeding, so birth control should still be used. Happy Playing and Congrats if you earn your "Bloodwings" Soon!
