Having sex during a period will not harm a
woman. The menstrual fluid consists of
blood and tissue from the lining uterus,
with some bacteria that are normally
present in the vagina. The menstrual
fluid, therefore, doesn't contain anything
dirty or harmful ,so it wont irritate the
penis or cause any other problems. The
time during which a woman menstruates is
the least fertile period in the woman's
cycle, so it's one of the best times to
avoid pregnancy.
