1.  What is the female cycle?

The cycle begins on the first day of the period and ends with the start of the next period. During the cycle, the body undergoes regular changes that are intended to prepare the body for a possible pregnancy. The entire cycle lasts around 28 days, although this varies from body to body and can be shorter or longer. During the cycle, a complex interplay of hormones takes place in the body, which can also have an impact on general physical and mental well-being.

2. The female libido

The female libido is, in short, a woman's sexual desire. The desire to experience and enjoy sexual activity. Libido can be influenced by various factors, such as hormonal changes, emotional states of emergency, physical health and the menstrual cycle. It is an important part of female sexuality and its expression varies from person to person.

3. Pleasure during menstruation

Menstruation is not an easy time for many menstruating women. Physical complaints such as cramps, tiredness and general discomfort often occur. Sex is often out of the question during this time. The focus is more on relieving the pain and feeling better.
However, there are also menstruating people whose desire increases during their period. The increased blood flow to the pelvic area can lead to increased sensitivity and therefore sexual arousal. Sex during your period can also contribute to pain relief and relaxation.

4. Pleasure during the follicular phase

Bye, bye menstruation, hello follicular phase. Oestrogen levels rise, the mood improves and sexual desire increases. The oestrogen increases the body's sensitivity and blood flow, which in turn can lead to a flare-up of sexual arousal.

5. Pleasure during ovulation

That's where the magic happens! During this phase, the body releases the egg, which is now ready for fertilization. As nature wants us to reproduce, it ensures that pleasure reaches its peak during this phase. Oestrogen levels are at their highest, which can lead to strong sexual desire. Menstruating people often feel more attractive as a result and are more willing to engage in sexual activity.

6. Pleasure during the luteal phase

The last stop of the cycle, the luteal phase. After ovulation, oestrogen levels fall and the pregnancy hormone progesterone is released in greater quantities. This can lead to less desire for sex. If pregnancy does not occur, progesterone decreases again, which can increase the desire for sex shortly before your period.

The menstrual cycle with all its phases is an exciting journey characterized by many changes. Each phase brings with it very individual experiences and adventures. No two cycles are the same and everyone experiences them differently. Taking a close look at your own body can help you understand your own pleasure and live in harmony with your cycle.
