Cuddling with boyfriend a cure to cramps?

[Anonymous]

So, I get really bad take-meds-see-a-doctor cramps on my monthly and usually nothing helps. This time though my boyfriend convinced me to leave my 'friend' as he calls my heat pad and come over. Crazily enough whenever we'd cuddle/doze off and he'd let his weight rest on me my cramps felt so much better. The next night I tried putting weight on my abdomen to see if that helped, but the benefits were only marginal.

Is this all psychological, or is there something to this? Any girls had a similar experience?

lol it might be a chemical response where your brain releases feel good hormones helping your cramps. my cramps are horrible! so I wish all it took was cuddling and mine would go away but it doesn't work for me. glad to hear it works for you :) good luck

That's kind of why I was so surprised that it helped at all, because earlier in the day my thighs and entire abdomen seized up so bad that I fell off my bike and had to sit it out on the curb for 20 minutes, talk about humiliating. Luckily my bike is OK. I hope you find something that helps!

i think it's psychological but that doesn't mean it's not real. you found your way to make yourself feel better and that's great

yes and it works better if it leads to sex...just trust me on this one...orgasms help push the blood out and also it feels great and periods end sooner!

Not that your explanation doesn't sound legit, but periods are messy and I'm not about to subject him to that. Being stuck under my helpful 6'2" man who still won't believe that he isn't crushing me will just have to do!

Could be that your body releases hormones around him that make you feel good, especially on your period.
