Dear R,
Yes it's safe to have sex during a woman's period unless her flow is very heavy and she feels uncomfortable about it. In any case, you must make allowances to keep the blood off of whatever surface you are on. Some women use their diaphragm or menstrual cup to catch the blood. Other women claim intercourse helps to get the blood flowing which eliminates menstrual cramps.
