No, it’s not magic, and nope it doesn’t require birth control. 

All you have to do is get your rocks off.

“Although no studies have been done on this, it’s likely that menstrual blood in the uterus is squeezed out during orgasm,” Fenner explained in an interview with Metro.  

Climaxing is also a natural pain-reliever and can help keep cramps at bay.
