Ask Him
The only way to be sure how your man feels is to ask him. If he's game, stick to man-on-top mode. Your bleeding may be lighter if you're lying down. But if you vary positions, keep your flow at bay by inserting a menstrual cup (an alternative to tampons and pads that you can buy at a drugstore or online.)
Just remember, while there are benefits to doing the deed during your time of the month — some women experience a heightened libido and reduced cramping — it is possible to get pregnant. Plus, there is an increased risk for pelvic infection and HIV due to the presence of necrotic tissue. Translation: Use a condom.
