There are no medical reasons that say you should not have intercourse while menstruating. However, sex during menstruation indeed more vulnerable to venereal disease, especially if your partner has one of the blood-transmitted sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV.

2. Why do I get rid of the wind from the vagina during intercourse?
You don't need to worry, actually this is normal. Gas that comes out of area V, or known as vaginal flatulence is air trapped in area V when there is air from outside that enters the vagina and comes out suddenly.
Certain position, like doggy style, allow this to happen. If the sound of the gas trapped in this vagina is bothering you, try doing another style, such as missionary or woman on top.

The vagina is actually prone to dirt. Therefore, when washing your vagina it is recommended that you go from the front to the back, not the other way around, because it is feared that carrying bacteria from dirt in the rectum is carried into the vagina.
Just like that, when you switch positions, from anal vaginal sex, or from vaginal to oral, and others, it is recommended to wipe clean the penis, related body parts, or replace the condom used. This prevents bacteria from moving from the mouth, anus, or vagina to other areas of the body that can cause infection.
4. Is it normal to imagine someone else having sex with a partner?
According to a survey conducted in Australia, about 50 percent of women and 75 percent of men imagine other things when having sex with their partners. Actually this is a normal thing to make yourself aroused and keep your sex life active, and that doesn't mean you don't love your partner.
Fantasy sex become a problem when this affects your ability to connect with your partner in the real world. You should not always imagine other people to reach orgasm. Try focusing on your partner, looking into his eyes, touching his face, shoulders, or buttocks. Such contacts will make you feel more 'connected' during sex with him.
