It might be a taboo for some, but having sex on your period is not as rare as you might think. For some couples, having period sex is much more of a turn-on or habit, which according to them can lead to a deeper level of emotional intimacy.
Nevertheless, religions like Judaism, Christianity, and Islamism alike prohibit men from having sex with their wives when they’re on their period. Some people even believe that having sex during your period can create soul ties with your sexual partner.
So, is this true?
Well, there are many beliefs and ideas about the spiritual and energetic meaning of having sex on your period and whether it creates karmic soul ties. Today, we’ll talk about some of the main points so you can decide for yourself.
Firstly, What Are Karmic Debts And Soul Ties?
Karmic debts and soul ties are unresolved issues involved in connections from previous lifetimes that you “inherit” in the current and/or next ones.
The goal is to resolve as many aspects and as much of this karmic baggage as you can, so you’ll raise your frequency in this lifetime and the next ones. That way, you won’t run into the same unresolved issues and will move on to unburden your soul even more.
Creating karmic baggage is the opposite of what we aim for through a spiritual approach to life.
Your karmic baggage or karmic debt will incorporate all unresolved issues, personal and relational. Soul ties are a specific segment of that debt or baggage. They are soul-to-soul links based on those unresolved and unhealed issues that the two souls have with each other.
In other words, creating karmic soul ties with someone means creating issues that most likely won’t be resolved during this lifetime. They get carried into your next human experiences, burdening your souls and marking you for a due karmic-resolution type of interaction.
The Energy Involved In Having Period Sex:
When you’re on your period, you’re shedding the lining of your uterus and blood. That lining could have hosted a pregnancy, so energetically it’s a very powerful symbol of potential new beginnings.
Now, by having your period, you’re releasing the potential for that particular new beginning which didn’t come to be fulfilled. You’re surrendering that potential that wasn’t fulfilled and preparing your body for the next wave of potential new beginnings.
The acts of releasing and surrendering are some of the toughest spiritual acts to take on. In some practices, that makes your period blood a very powerful form of sacrifice. That’s why there are magic practices that use period blood.
Releasing that energy means you’re cleansing your system both physically and energetically. You’re raising your frequency and harmonizing with the energy of a potential new beginning.
Much like all things involving energy, what this time of the month means to you and your partner is what you make of it.
So, Why Would Period Sex Create Soul Ties?

What is released from your body during your period, physically and energetically, can be seen as spent energy. It’s no longer the bright, beautiful potential of a new beginning. Instead, it becomes something of a lower vibration.
In some cases, it can be seen as a sign of a failed attempt to get pregnant, particularly in couples trying to conceive babies. Those who see it that way would naturally feel a desire to avoid it. They could even have a form of aversion toward it.
In such cases, being on your period can feel like a form of punishment or failure. You can feel discouraged, sad, or even depressed. Being on your period lowers your vibe.
The act of releasing that vibe means releasing lower vibe energy because it’s what you’ve imprinted on it and set the intention for it to be.
If you’re having period sex in this case, you’re lowering your partner’s frequency. You could potentially create or activate karmic soul ties because your own energy is low-vibe and you’re lowering the vibe of your partner as a result.
It’s not a certainty, but you can open the door to karmic debts and soul ties because you are much more vulnerable while you’re experiencing exchanges of low-vibe energy due to your lowered frequency.
What To Do So, Period Sex Doesn’t Lead to Soul Ties
As said, What this time of the month means to you and your partner is what you make of it.
If you want to have period sex without the risk of creating soul ties, work on you and your partner perceiving your period as a form of raising your frequency for a new beginning. It’s the first step toward a new cycle of fertility, potential, and abundance. It becomes the mark of a higher vibration.
Your period now becomes a symbol of resilience, facing adversity, issues, and hurdles, but always persevering. You’ve gone through another cycle of trials and tribulations, came out with your head held high, and are ready and willing to try again.
It’s an attitude of embracing what life throws at you and trusting yourself to deal with it and keep moving forward. Being on your period becomes a form of celebration. You feel empowered, stronger, and encouraged. As a result, it raises your vibe.
Now you’re releasing and exchanging high-vibe energy because it’s what you’ve imprinted on it and set the intention for it to be. Having period sex in this case means you’re raising your partner’s energy as well because it comes in contact with your own high vibe and vice versa.
There’s no reason for any karmic soul ties to become activated or created.
In Short, Does Having Sex During Menstruation Create Soul Ties?
I believe that there’s no boilerplate answer to this question. Much like everything else in life, it’s what you and your partner make of it.
If you or your partner feel like there’s something negative about it, then you shouldn’t do it. It can involve exchanges of lower vibe energies and might activate karmic soul ties. There’s nothing constructive about it.
But if you and your partner see nothing negative about it, then I don’t see a risk of it triggering karmic soul ties. It becomes a positive and intimate experience that fortifies the harmony in your connection.
