Health Why Women Feel Hornier Just Before Their Period
Cramps, bloating, fatigue and more; your period arrives with these usual suspects in tow. But, it also brings along a change in your sex drive. A wild and crazy libido is pretty common among women just before their period, making you crave sex and get hornier than usual. This particular surge in sex appeal happens during ovulation, about halfway through your cycle, or two weeks after your period, due to a slight increase in testosterone. Because hormones seem to enjoy being confusing, some women experience heightened sexual arousal in the days before their period starts.
“ The hormonal interplay is responsible for varying libido during different phases of the menstrual cycle. The drive is at its peak just before, during and just after ovulation period .” – Gynaecologist & Obstetrician Dr Manjiri Mehta , Hiranandani Hospital, Mumbai.
“ Sexual desire is influenced by hormones estrogen and progesterone. So sexual desire is heightened at the time of ovulation and decreases after ovulation. Cervical position and lubrication during ovulation increase your desire. The sensitivity of breasts, touch and response is also dependent on the hormones. The experience of pain during arousal is also heightened during the mid-luteal phase. But every person’s experience is unique and different from the other ”, says Gynaecologist & Obstetrician Dr Sushma Tomar of Fortis Hospital, Mumbai.
Research suggests one theory about pre-period horniness, that it has to do with the vaginal discharge your body releases during the luteal phase (as it sheds the uterine lining before your period begins). You’ll typically experience more discharge than usual during this time, so you may feel wetter more quickly when aroused. Check out this article to find out how to delay periods in simple and easy natural ways.
If you want to know more about how your menstrual cycle and sex drive are connected, click here and get all the answers from experts.
Many experts believe that sexual arousal has ‘no major effect’ on your menstrual cycle. Yet, some women report that if they masturbate or have sex, they feel relief from pelvic congestion or menstrual cramps. There’s a chance that having sex before your period may bring on the bleeding faster and make your period easier to manage. The reason is that when you have an orgasm, blood rushes to your genital area. This can stimulate the onset of your period but only if it’s late. Vaginal penetration could potentially increase your cramps if your partner’s penis or a toy is hitting your cervix.
Having sex before your period when you are aroused is great, but it doesn’t make all the risks disappear. Though it may not be a conception-friendly time, it’s best to stick to contraception. 
You’re most likely to get pregnant in the days just before and after ovulation, right around the middle of your cycle. In the few days leading up to your period, your body sheds the excess uterine lining it produced. Since the egg is no longer available to be fertilized, you’re unlikely to get pregnant after ovulation is complete.
More sex equals a higher chance of getting pregnant. This is why it’s important to use protection if you’re not trying to get pregnant, period or not.
Dr Manjiri Mehta points out that, “ Tracking of cyclical hormonal changes comes in handy, and helps you to organise your time and prioritize your work; it can also help in avoiding unwanted pregnancy .”
The long-standing rumour is that birth control all but kills your sex drive. Since hormonal birth control works by stopping your uterus from ovulating, it also stops that little boost in testosterone. Oral contraceptives, in particular, can affect your libido throughout your menstrual cycle, because it also increases something called sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG).
Since experts are still researching this query, it’s possible specific types of birth control affect specific types of sex drives.
Feeling frisky during your period may also just come down to individual differences. Every woman has a different sex drive and the body reacts to a host of factors, not just hormones. Women might like sex more or a whole lot less during that time, depending on their physical comfort. For some women, the last thing they want is sex when they’re bleeding and crampy. Others may want a sexual activity for relief.
Some experts even suggest that your increased desire to have sex during your period could also be tied to a subconscious relief in knowing you’re not pregnant. It’s more of psychological freedom associated with period and pre-period sex since you’re also less likely to conceive when you’re menstruating.
Can you have sex on your period? The short answer is yes. Having penetrative and non-penetrative intercourse while menstruating is totally fine, as long as you’re comfortable and in the mood. 
Having sex while you are on your menstruation can be advantageous in many respects. 
“ There is no need to avoid sex during your menses; sex during menses can help give relief from menstrual cramps. But, chances of spreading Sexually Transmitted Infections increases during menses ”, states Dr SushmaTomar .

Ultimately, it’s all about what feels best to you, whether it’s sex before, during or after your periods. If you and your partner are in the mood for a sexy time before your period starts, feel free to have fun.

Why You're So Horny During Your Period
How many women get super turned on right before or during their period, contrary to all the logic they have ever been told their whole lives about when they should feel the most rarin' to go? It is hard to say, but it is enough that a Google search produces lots of women who've asked the same thing.
We all know when you're supposed to be horniest — while ovulating, because babies. It's obviously more complicated than that, but for the purposes of this discussion, we must assume that women wouldn't be searching in earnest disbelief for why they are suddenly a walking vagina before their period if it didn't seem, at the very least, unexpected or incongruous.
In fact, one of the first pieces I came across in the search was an XOJane essay called Why Do I Become a Walking Vagina the Week Before My Period? In it, Emily writes :
You already know I get depressed, highly emotional and self-loathing , but what I haven't mentioned is that I basically turn into Stifler's mom for a week leading up to my period. Preparing to shed my uterile lining is apparently the biological equivalent of some sweet Barry Manilow tunes and a bottle of Peach Boone's Farm.
She asked a gyno what was up, or rather, down. Dr. O actually didn't explain it:
"At the end of the day, you are fertile 10-14 days before your period. It's in your interest to be horny from your body's perspective since one of our jobs evolutionarily is to procreate. It stands to reason that you would be most interested when your body is set up to get pregnant. The high progesterone at that part of your cycle also makes the genitals a little swollen and sensitive. For some women that's a turn on, for others, not so much. Same thing happens in pregnancy, the other time you have high progesterone."
Ok, but not what she asked! Someone else hit the ground running at Girls Ask Guys when they asked , Girls: Do you get hornier during your period? Question says it all.
Question says it all, indeed . "ErikaSmith" answered:
If a girl is hornier on her period it is entirely mental. Biologically that makes zero sense. Hormone levels peak in the middle of your cycle when you ovulate two weeks before your periods starts. Unless something else is going on, the days right around ovulation are when a girl is naturally the horniest.
To which "purpleeyes770" exclaimed:
Its def NOT MENTAL!!!!! I and many other girls get sex on their period. I MOST CERTAINLY DO! and I'm THE HORNIEST B4 AND AFTER MY PERIOD! SO CLEARLY ITS A COMMON THING! NOT MENTAL!!!!!
It's not mental horniness, it's physical horniness. Can you imagine anyone ever telling a dude his horniness was in his head? Ok not that head. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
"Princess 101" agreed tho on the mental theory:
yes I do. I think it's because you want what you can't have, so when girls are on their period, they want sex more.
And the funny (not funny) thing is, this answer is not uncommon. Someone on Yahoo! Answers asked :
"University Girl" had the best-voted answer, which said, in part:
It is due in part to the severe change in hormones that comes when you get your period. Like other people mentioned, it may also be due to your mindset (knowing you "can't" have it, etc).
Well it's sorted, then: It's because you can't have it. Etc.
Leave it to a reddit thread to blow the whole thing out of the water when someone asked: Any other women get insanely horny the week before that time of the month?
My bf's not here (of all the weeks for him to be away!! Grrr) so I've masturbated about 5 times total today but to no avail!! It simply doesn't 'hit the spot'. This likely has something to do with the fact that when I get like this, nothing but deep penetration/rough pounding helps however I've been using my clitoral vibrator because I lost my dildo :(
I love/hate this week because it literally almost 'aches' down there and I walk around wanting to screw everything and literally can't stop thinking about sex and my next orgasm.
Someone named Mr. Euginovich, self-described as a sound tech for a women's health program, steps up with some theories:
If this happens right before your period it's not because you are most fertile, that comes 12-16ish days before your period. So when you are uber horny before your period it's likely a combination of factors.
I'm not just horny, it's that I'm retainin' wutuh.
Reddit links to a piece over at Columbia University's health website called "Go Ask Alice!" where, in 2003, one "Menses Maiden" asked, Is it weird to feel hornier than usual during my period?
First, cool band name alert. Second, while Alice reiterates that the most "well-known theory" is that women be horniest mid-cycle, she answers the question directly:
Some theorize that women feel less sexual when they have premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and during their periods because mood swings and menstrual cramps interfere with libido. However, some women feel increased sexual energy during their period. The possibility of pregnancy is reduced (but not eliminated) during menstruation, and this may free women to feel more sexual during this time. Also, there is more pelvic congestion during a woman's periods, so she is already experiencing this heaviness, which may trigger or translate to arousal. Furthermore, because of the menses, there is additional lubrication, making penetration more comfortable. Finally, orgasm is a known reliever of pelvic congestion and cramps.
Until the subject is better understood through more extensive research, the phase of a woman's menstrual cycle appears to be just one factor among many that can influence a woman's lust or desire to be sexual.
OK, so it's freedom horniness. Quick, someone design a flag.
And finally, Glamour 's Dr. Kate answers another horny truth-seeker who needs to know: Why do I get so horny right before and right after my period?
There haven't been a lot of studies looking at the connection between women's libido and hormones at various points in the menstrual cycle, but some research has shown a spike in lust around the time we ovulate, mid-cycle (which is when evolutionary forces would have us engage in intercourse to get pregnant). That said, there are many fluctuations in the different sex hormones throughout the month, and these changes are different for every woman. Arousal isn't cyclical—it can happen at any time, and that's completely normal.
The answer is you just are, OK. You really just are. It could be a lot of things. I would like to say pelvic congestion simply because that sounds good, but why do we even need a reason? People don't seem to be rushing to figure it out on the medical front, perhaps because no one wants to fund period sex, Thing You Want But Can't Have. But, the thing is, finding out there is a period of time (heh) when women are super horny is good news. Which is making period sex seem pretty darn handy .

Every month, your period arrives with the usual suspects in tow: cramps, bloating, fatigue—just to name a few. But it can also bring another (much, much more fun) guest to the party: a wild and crazy libido . So, yeah...it's no coincidence you feel all kinds of horny on your period.
And that's despite the fact that you likely don't feel your absolute sexiest during this time. ICYDK, that particular surge in sex appeal happens during ovulation —about halfway through your cycle, or two weeks after your period—thanks to a slight increase in testosterone, says Mary Jane Minkin , MD, clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Yale University Medical School.
While the science isn't entirely definitive, here's what docs do know: "The menstrual cycle involves the cyclical rise and fall of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA," says Adeeti Gupta, MD, an ob-gyn and founder of Walk In GYN Care . (Hence the name "cycle.") All of those hormones play key roles in your sex drive.
In a 2013 study published in Hormones and Behavior , researchers explored the connection in a group of undergraduate women. They measured hormone levels over two full menstrual cycles and compared the results to daily journals, where the participants recorded sexual activity and feelings of friskiness.
The researchers found that changing levels of estrogen and progesterone had serious effects on libido. Likely because estrogen, which drops at the beginning of your period but then starts to climb steadily by day two or three, promotes libido and desire, explains Dr. Gupta.
Meanwhile, progesterone, a stabilizing hormone that is "not sexy-feeling friendly" is at a low point, says Dr. Minkin, so it's possible that you feel even more sexual in its absence, too.
In short: no. Your hormones are already fluctuating on their own, so sexual arousal has "no major effect" on your menstrual cycle, says Dr. Minkin.
Still, "some women report that if they masturbate or have sex, they feel relief of pelvic congestion or menstrual cramps," adds Nan Wise , PhD, a cognitive neuroscientist and certified sex therapist. (Plus, it feels a heck of a lot better than popping ibuprofen.)
Ready to get it on? Here's what you need to know about period sex:
And, of course, your friskier-than-normal feelings can certainly impact your mood during menstruation. Sex and/or orgasm are both known for relieving stress —something you might be subconsciously craving during that time of the month.
"What's important is to listen to your body and give it what it needs."
"In some cases, women may simply want to have an orgasm to relax and unwind," says Janet Brito , PhD, a licensed psychologist and certified sex therapist in Honolulu. "While in other cases, they may be yearning for an intimate connection. What’s important is to listen to your body and give it what it needs."
To do that, she recommends keeping a journal on how your menstruation impacts your arousal and vice versa. This, Brito says, can help you get comfortable discussing your needs, promote body awareness, and ultimately enhance your personal and partnered relationships. (Thi
