For Christians, Jesus fulfilled the Law of Moses.
Christians are not held to the ceremonial parts of the Mosaic Law concerning of dietary purity and temple worship including the practice you are asking about.
Christians are held to the moral law of God, some of which is expressed in the Ten Commandments.
However Jesus took the Ten Commandments to the next step summarizing them into the two Great Commandments:
+ You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.
+ You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
And teaching things like
+ Everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
+ Everyone is our neighbor including our enemies.
Therefore we have to go much farther than the original recipients of the Ten Commandments ever dreamed.
With love in Christ.

I trust you are married. First, you should not be talking to us about this. Keep the marriage bed undefiled. Second, the Levitical laws were about entering the temple and worship. You would be unclean for a time frame then clean again. So no it is not a sin. Not sure about health issues. I would take that time as agreeable to both to focus on God and not each other.
Hebrews 13:4
Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
Leviticus 15:32-33 (New International Version)
32 These are the regulations for a man with a discharge, for anyone made unclean by an emission of semen, 33 for a woman in her monthly period, for a man or a woman with a discharge, and for a man who lies with a woman who is ceremonially unclean.
Read all of Lev 15. Plus you will find there was a cleansing ritual to be followed.
Now, did you really read it in the Bible or did a friend of a friend of a friend's pet dog tell you? Personally, I think you are just trying to goad and discuss moral people with your shameless confession real or imagined.

It's true that the Bible does say you shouldn't have sex during "that time of the month", but generally speaking, that particular rule is considered to be one of the rules about ceremonial cleanliness, not about sin. Since ceremonial cleanliness doesn't apply anymore, you're free to have sex anytime you please and it wouldn't be a sin. Just remember to clean up afterwards!

According to Leviticus, yes. However, there is only ONE Levitican proscription out of 600+ that christians care about.

Only if you get blood all over the sheets. It is a sin to ruin perfectly good sheets.

Between you, me, and the walls, it's a little messy. (I've done it.) Other than that, what you consider a "sin" is for you to figure out on your own by your own ethical and moral standards.

I don't think it's a sin, per se, but I'm not sure it's exactly sanitary.
The question is, why would you want to?
LMAO Teddy. You are a fool! And funny as hell too.
