In ancient times, men tried to explain the sharp changes in the mood of a woman either by the influence of the moon, or by her witch essence. Indeed, throughout the month, the fair sex can be either angelically cute or devilishly aggressive. But, in fact, mysticism plays absolutely no role here, because the phase of the menstrual cycle is to blame. This factor also regulates female sexuality.
A woman's menstrual cycle is counted on the first critical day and its average duration – 28 days. During this period, there is a gradual change in the hormonal background of the body, which affects both the well-being and mood of a woman, and her sexual desire and sensations during intimacy. In general, the female calendar can be divided into four periods.
A woman's menstrual cycle and intimacy: days of tenderness, days of passion and days of irritation
Day 1-5: “More tenderness”
Critical days are accompanied by a decrease in the level of female hormones estrogen and progesterone. This explains the tearfulness of women during this period and the thirst for constant hugs and tenderness, but not bed passions.
During these days of a woman's menstrual cycle, the sensitivity of the uterus increases, so intimacy can bring a lot of pleasure. However, doctors still advise to refrain from sex these days, because this can lead to the development of inflammatory diseases, endometriosis. If sexual intercourse does occur, intimacy should be gentle and calm.
Day 5-13: “Absolute Harmony”
During the second phase of a woman's menstrual cycle, the level of the hormone estradiol, which is responsible for sexuality, increases. Thus, these days, women's libido is increasing every day. It is at this time that the emotional background normalizes, thanks to which the woman becomes more balanced than ever.
In this phase it is recommended to practice something classic in bed, and to embody all your fantasies and experiments in the next period.
Day 14-20: “Female Sexuality Celebration”
These days – the period of ovulation, when the level of hormones in the body is at its peak. The period of ovulation is characterized by an increase in female libido, which contributes to the achievement of a particularly vivid orgasm, which is much easier to achieve these days.
During this period, a woman feels an urgent need for intimacy and is ready to agree to any experiments in bed. It is worth remembering one important nuance – this period is the most favorable for fertilization, do not forget about it in the heat of passion.
Day 21-28: “Hands off!”
The last week before your period is the premenstrual phase of the cycle, commonly known as PMS. Due to the fact that conception never happened, hormones make a real hell in the body. A sharp increase in progesterone provokes the occurrence of irritability and tearfulness. There is a noticeable deterioration in well-being, absent-mindedness and weakness occur. All this affects the fact that during this period the libido is significantly dulled, so sexual desire may be completely absent.
Experts note that regardless of all the regularities, both the emotional state and the libido of a woman are more dependent on the psychological mood.
