    I don't have a problem with it, it just means it's shower time! I also find that it helps with my extremely painful cramps. My boyfriend doesn't mind either, in fact it feels better because I am so much tighter. I don't have my period anymore due to my continuous birth control, but when I did there wasn't a problem at all.

      I have a very light flow, so it's no big deal to me. In the past I've just taken out my tampon right before, and usually there was hardly anything to worry about. Towel just in case, and shower after of course.
      Or, if you don't feel comfortable with the sex, the guy can always finger your clit if you're wearing a tampon, it should be clean down there anyway then since you're all plugged up.
      Depends on the guy's comfort level though... My current bf does not want anything to do with my vaginal area if I'm on my period.
