Chances are he's probably not that hurt. See, the endorphins released when you're having sex keep feelings of pain at bay.

OK, we know this is a bummer but it doesn't have to halt the action. "A lot of women assume that a guy's brain will explode if he comes into contact with menstrual blood," says Dr. Klein. "But many guys don't care." If your flow starts mid-sex, suggest moving things to the shower so you can still have fun and don't have to worry about a mess.
