Lately my sex drive has exploded and during menstruation time I think about sex all the time, but its obviously messy. Do you masturbate and what works for you?

Yes, but usually at the beginning or near the end when the flow is lighter. I just do it through my underwear and towel so it’s not messy at all

Wife does not usually, but we continue to have sex all throughout her cycle. She likes the orgasm for help with cramps, mood, and sleep.

Yeah, orgasm does help with pain. Also if you know, sense a headache coming on having an orgasm will stop it in its tracks.
We’ve decided we are not going to have sex during my period. Unfortunately they sometimes come on every 20 to 25 days

Yes I’ve always masturbated during my period, even I the early days
And I have to say I never have a bad time of it with cramps or pain, so maybe it helps with thst

I dont tend to get proper periods due to having PCOS and i also take the pill so i just spot for 48 hrs every 7 to 9 weeks. I occasionally do have a proper period though and tend to masturbate or have sex in the last day or so. Since having my second child i cant use tampons anymore as they hurt and have developed a sensitivity to sanitary towels so i find masturbation or sex cuts short that last 24 to 48 hours of sludgy spotting (sorry if thats TMI 
) so can stop using sanitary products quicker

Same here as @Mint-Monster.
Will use vibrator through knickers/pad or when lighter flow.

@Kh1985 I remember in my 20s using the shot every 3 months and it was always spotty and I’d describe it similar to yours 
after my daughter i got my tubes tied because I hated being on birth control
@cuberdon or even a glove?
Like @Mint-Monster, I masturbate through my underwear to avoid any mess. I usually avoid the 2 heaviest days though because I’m never feeling very sexy on those days!

I can get very horny at times when I’m on my period. I try to hold off with any masturbation or PIV until day 4 or 5 when its not so messy.

@L_amp_M25 yeah I think this is the route I’m going to take. Its just so strange to be this horny as my sex life was soo dull and now I’m feeling crazy

I don’t have my periods anymore. The last one I had was about 3-4 years ago.
But when I did have my periods, I still did masturbate (I’d be super horny) I’d just place a towel down and have wipes nearby too.
We’d even have PIV too, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it never bothered us in the slightest.

Well since I do need at least a vibrating toy, and since I wanted to protect it too so it’d be less of a trouble to clean, I needed more than a glove.
I have horrendous periods however i feel i have the best orgasms when im on, I don’t know if it is as im more sensitive but definitely with a towel down and jump in shower after.
i wont use toys during this time but find just clitoral stimulation works perfectly.

yup, I leave tampon to stem the flow if that isn’t too yuck (feels kinda nice too) and go for clit stimulation only
I don’t have them these days because of my Mirena, but when I did have periods, I masturbated a lot. Finding out wanking and indeed PIV helped with the cramps and pain was an absolute game changer, and as I was always horny, I regularly wore my clit out in jam week. Made my periods much more bearable.
