Why should sex be avoided during menstruation?

Answer 1

There is no reason for avoiding sex during a period. (if you mean that you may get pregnant during period yes it is possible to get pregnant during period so in that matter sex should be avoided even then or condom should be used)

AnswerNot having intercourse during menstruation is an "old wive's tale" that is a hold-over from the Puritan religious belief that women were unclean during this time of the month.The only problem with sex during this time if you are both healthy is that it can be a bit messy, but that is why we have showers and soap.
