Overt Menstruation

[Millefleur]

While googling for foetal resorption the other day I came across something that said it is perhaps less energy consuming for a woman to expel the womb lining and rebuild it each month than it is to keep it.. Unfortunately I didn't pay much attention or make a mental note of where it was because it wasn't what I was looking for at the time.

I read that too.

Makes evolutionary sense, especially since 100s thousands years ago women didn't mentruate as often.

Was just thinking that we are tropical animals and omniverous. Would explain why we are fertile all year round, rather than have seasons.

Is it safe to have sex when you have a menstruation? What are the disadvantages? I had sex when I had my menstruation at the same time. What are the disadvantages of having sex at this time of the month? Please advise.

Welcome to the board harmenia!

You could start by reading this page http://pms.about.com/od/myths/a/menstrual_myths.htm , it's fairly sane and straight forward (and agrees with what I have learned first in high school sexual education, then for my nurse's degree and mostly through being a female, and a mother for the last 12 years).
