I don’t know enough women anatomy and I am too afraid to ask.
Anyone have an answer?

This thread needs more women.
Myths:
Women experience more pain from sex on their period.
Cramps are gonna happen regardless. The dopamine and endorphins released from sex can actually reduce the pain. But cervical trauma is probably going to feel way worse when your insides are already rebelling.
Women are more horny on their period.
There isn’t any evidence to support this, though individual women may vary. If there was a horny time of the month, it would make more sense if that lined up with ovulation, when pregnancy is more likely to occur.
The vagina is bleeding!
The “blood” is actually the shed lining of the uterus, escaping by way of vagina.
Get yourself a set of big, red beach towels for some carefree period sex and leave enough time for clean up. You haven’t lived until you’ve cave-painted the shower wall with your/your partner’s insides.
This! ↑
The cervix actually shifts down a bit during the period, making it easier to hit. Some like it, some doesn’t.
It’s as you say, we do have an extra horny time of the month around ovulation, the week before ovulation. It’s when our discharge has the consistency of raw egg white bc the sperms swims easier in it or something like that.
if I remember correctly.
And this! Yes, that’s an important note. If you experience more pain during period sex, this could be the cause and can be mitigated with gentler intercourse.
Clearly this question hasn’t been asked of a bunch of women, or the research hasn’t been done.
Is it a given? An absolute? Probably not. But also look at other mammals.
It has been researched. Pubmed and Psychology Today alone have plenty of resources on arousal at different phases in the menstrual cycle.
If you look at other mammals, they’re more likely to get freaky during ovulation, not during menstruation, if they do menstruate. Kinda like us.
