Does it say in the Bible to not have sex when you are on your period (for a man not to have sex with a woman when she is on ther period)? I have heard this before...?

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a section dealing with menstruating women and sex. However, there are sections dealing with the intent of sexual relations being specifically for childbearing. I would suggest that it could be implied that since a woman cannot get pregnant while menstruating that the couple should not be having sexual relations during that period.

Yes the old testament forbids it. But putting the law aside it is dangerous to women's health to have intercourse during menstruation because the cervix is slightly open to allow the blood flow to escape. This allows harmful bacteria a direct access to the uterus and can cause a serious infection.

There is a whole list of "rules" in the old Testament. They were meant to keep women in their place as the Jewish old testament culture believed women were evil and responsible for all evil. Blood is power, and so is menses and there was a believe that women could have power over men through her menses.
Baloney then, baloney now. Menstruation is a very spiritual and powerful time for women and orgasms are many times extremely strong. So put down a towel and have at it.

Personally i think it is disgusting!!!
in the old testament yes it does say it but we serve a forgiving God to those women who has a husband who does not serve the Lord he will not understand so its better to satisfy him so this will not cause him to sin! its the same for fasting you should not have sex while fasting but if ur hubby is going to sin or you yourself take care of business!!
now if your both Christians u should be able to sustain if not ask God for help
