A medical doctor on Twitter has started a debate after he advised women to stop starving their partners of sex during their periods, then proceeded to tell them how to have sexual intercourse during their time of the month.

Dr Emmanuel tweeted: “Try not to starve your partner of sex during your Mentrual period as a woman. There are advantages of having sex during your period. Although it can get messy anyways, but then it can reduce the duration of the period, relief cramps to an extent, and you should use a CD!”

He added: “Hey guys! Before your rage wears a dirty pant, please know that it’s optional… Some people do it anyways!”

He went on to explain how this can be done.

But Twitter users did not approve of his message and they told him that men should be able to abstain for a few days a month.
