Since rainbow kissing is relatively unheard of, we checked to see what it has to say.<\/p>\n<p>One definition reads <em>\u201cPerforming 69 while a woman is on her period. The man ejaculates in the woman&#8217;s mouth and the two kiss, the menstrual blood and semen mixing to form a beautiful rainbow of colour\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While another less romantic explanation is <em>\u201cWhen a guy gives head to a girl while she is having her period, and gets all the blood in his mouth.

That time of the month can seem like it\u2019s \u2018off-limits\u2019 for many people, for a lot of reasons. The mess is a big no-no for some, as penetration can draw a lot of blood out of the body which will then be smeared all over the sheets. To a lot of people, periods are also somehow \u2018dirty\u2019 and should be avoided. Bleeding can also make some women feel self-conscious<\/li>\n<li>Rainbow kissing can be a way to buck the trend and reverse all the negative ideas surrounding menstruation. Even if a man doesn\u2019t like the idea of having actual sex when his partner is on her period, he can still give and receive pleasure by using it as a time for mutual oral sex<\/li>\n<li>The mess associated with intercourse can also be avoided as, unlike penetration that literally \u2018pumps\u2019 the woman, having oral sex will allow the blood to flow naturally, and when it does it will go into his mouth instead of on the sheets<\/li>\n<li>But one of the biggest benefits to rainbow kissing is that an orgasm can stop period pain in its tracks. A lot of women will masturbate during their period for exactly that reason; rainbow kissing is simply an extension of that and one that she can share with her partner. While penetration doesn\u2019t lead to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/orgasm-types\/\">woman\u2019s orgasm<\/a> in the majority of cases, oral sex usually will<\/li>\n<li>Interestingly, it could also make her periods shorter as well as less painful, because the natural contractions caused by climaxing can cause the uterus to shed far more quickly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3287 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vivastreetuk.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/woman-tampon.png\" alt=\"Woman holding tampon\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/woman-tampon.png 1080w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/woman-tampon-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/woman-tampon-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/woman-tampon-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/woman-tampon-600x338.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Is rainbow kissing safe?<\/h2>\n<p>As with any \u2018new\u2019 sexual practice, there is a question of safety, and rainbow kissing is no exception.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the risk of one partner not enjoying the taste or idea of blood, there are other risks associated that should be seriously considered.
