When I fuck a boy who likes it when I’m bleeding, we leave behind a huge, blood-splattered mess in the bed.

When I have any control over the particulars, I try to get fresh, white sheets to use. And I change positions and move around the bed as much as possible so there’s blood all over the place. When we’re fucking I like to be sitting or squatting so gravity helps as much blood as possible flow out of my pussy. If I simply lie there, the blood just pools. I also love it when someone goes down on me while I’m bleeding. It’s kind of a test of mettle for the guy.

When he’s finished licking and looks up with his blood-smeared mouth, I kiss him so we both look like wolves who’ve just ripped open a deer.
