I'm curious if it's normal for someone to feel more sexual or have a stronger urge to watch porn during their period. My sister experiences this, and I'm wondering if there's something behind it hormonally or psychologically. Is this something that you've come across before?

It's not uncommon for some people to experience heightened sexual urges during their periods due to hormonal changes. However, it's important to ensure that she feels comfortable with her desires and makes choices that align with her values and well-being.

I experienced a mild pain during sex with my boyfriend two nights ago and initially thought it was just due to deep penetration. However, right after, I started feeling this severe, sharp pain in my lower abdomen and rectum so intense I could barely stand or walk. I've been having a hard time peeing and passing gas, felt extremely bloated, even vomited, and also had the urge to poop. Could this be something serious or is it a normal reaction? What should I do?

That's usually normal after first intercourse no need to worry that will subside on its own, maintain personal hygiene and take proper rest
