Can sex make menstral cramps worse?

[HeartsOpenWide]

I know that a natural way to get labor going is to have sex because seminal fluid has prostaglandins which many hospital drugs, like cervadial, try to mimic-did I spell that right?- (Prostaglandins stimulate smooth muscle, stimulating uterine contractions)

Since evidence shows that Dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation) may result from excess prostaglandins, would having sex during this time increase dysmenorrhea? It just seems logical to me...is it? Or am being too creative?? :chuckle

Actually, I'm NOT.

Ok, I will be a nice boy, now, too.

I had never heard of this. I suffer from terrible cramps myself and when I do....sex is the last thing on my mind. Guess I will never know if ít's effective or not :rotfl:

I don't think intercourse is necessarily the best way to go about relieving cramps through orgasm. We're all grownups, I'm sure I don't need to elaborate...be creative!
