Sex during PMS: He Shoots / He Scores

If you think about it, sex is always the question no matter what time of the month. So, how do you get from “don’t touch me” to “touch me now”? The trip through PMS headaches, cramps, and mood swings is not a short one. Most times, the very letters PMS turn sex into a four letter word!

I would love to say this is going to be an easy task. You want to move to a point with your woman with PMS where she is approaching you for sex. Once you know what causes your lady to put the brakes on your sex drive during PMS, then you will be able to anticipate ways to get her happy again.

First things first, approach with patience and understanding. If you think that you are going to hit a home run your first time at bat, you might as well gather your balls and go home!

You need to know that there is a horrible PMS cocktail at work here:
*  Everything on her body hurts. From headaches to cramps, she is ready to jump out of her skin at the very thought of anyone touching her.
*  She does not feel attractive or sexy. PMS has tightened her jeans with bloating (you know how women are about a few pounds!) and she probably has acne. Wow...I would be surprised if she did not suffer from PMS depression. Oh wait...she probably does.
*  Sex drive takes a nose dive. Because of her hormones, her sex drive diminishes during her time of the month.

All of these PMS symptoms mixed together does not equal nights sleeping alone on the sofa. The PMS cocktail does mean that you will have to work harder to get your lady in the mood. Here are some things that ladies love when it comes to dealing with PMS and relaxing into intimacies:

1.  Massages. Pick a place...every place hurts. Get a nice lotion or hand crème that she will love and give her an amazing massage. Her shoulders, lower back, or temples. Ask her what hurts most and offer her a relaxation massage.

2.  Bubble Baths. Hot water and soothing bubbles is the natural relaxation combo for most women. If you want to add a little extra nudge in the loving you way, then wait until she is in the bath (that you ran for her) and massage her feet. She will love you for life!

3.  Chocolates. Not well known to men, but many women crave chocolate close to their time of the month. Even though most women will feel overweigh, keep a few chocolates close to feed her during this time. Chocolate is a natural feel good food that makes her feel sexy with it

4.  Don’t forget the music and candles. Both of these things liven up her senses, relax her cares away, and give you the opportunity to touch her in sensual ways that will bring you together.
