I have actually heard the same thing too...but really, what woman is in the mood to have sex when she's on her period? I certainly don't.

For women with extreme PMS, Midol is useless!! My roommate used to have crippling cramps -- when we were in highschool, to the point where she was bedridden for days. She went on the Pill and they've subsided.
I had the prescription drug ANAPROX and believe me, it was manna from heaven. It might not work for extreme cases though...here's a blurb:
------------------------
Anaprox and Naprelan are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs used to relieve mild to moderate pain and menstrual cramps. They are also prescribed for relief of the inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis (the most common form of arthritis), and for ankylosing spondylitis (spinal arthritis), tendinitis, bursitis, acute gout, and other conditions. Anaprox also may be prescribed for juvenile arthritis.
The over-the-counter form of naproxen sodium, Aleve, is used for temporary relief of minor aches and pains, and to reduce fever.

Sex does work on cramps.
However, I don't get horrible, horrible cramps, just very minor ones, so who knows. But it works on mine.

Yes, sex works, it works very well 
I can't be in a bad mood when I'm on the rag, that's mainly due to TKE209...he will do anything to make me feel better, teehee 
But, if you don't have that, well, ice cream and drugs will always work.

There's something called PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) which is very severe. They have drugs for that, but allegedly it just knocks you the hell out for a few days. I don't advise dosing up on morphine just 'cause you're on a 5-7 bitchfest. And yeah sex does work but who the hell would do that? Gross.

I don't think it's that gross. It's just part of your body.
I don't want to open up a can of worms, but if you give it a try, you just might like it.
My final word on the topic.

I get horrible PMS... I get very irritated at things that normally wouldn't bother me. Then come the cramps... if I'm not constantly knocking back the Advil, I'm curled up in a little ball unable to move. 
There was a study done once, that showed that women living together in groups (e.g. prisons, dorms) all got their periods at the same time. My husband has already decided that when we have a teenage daughter or two, he will be scheduling week-long business trips once a month...
If this is true, it's just as well my sorority didn't have a house... I'd hate to have to sit through THAT chapter meeting

well then you're not welcome here!
J/K
as for sex on your period. Well I do think it's gross, but to each their own, if you and your partner don't mind then I say go for it.
But even if I didn't think it was gross, I'm certainly never in the mood for sex, all I want to do is wear big sweatpants, and curl up into a litle ball and hid away for a week.

Back when I was in high school and doing drama, all the women on the cast (not to mention the director!) would be on the rag at the same time. Needless to say, the men in a female heavy show always wished they could skip rehearsals that week!

Another PMSer here (not today though, lol), I do get bad cramps on the first day, but if I take a tylenol at the right time, it will ward off the cramps and I'm okay. Now, when it comes to the emotional side it's an entirely different issue. When it's not the wrong time of the month I don't cry, even when I'm really distressed, nor do I have a temper. But when it is the wrong time of the month, I cry at a drop of the hat, at stuff that would NEVER bother me otherwise. And, I get pissed about EVERYTHING.
I have tried stuff like flaxseed oil and Vitamin B-complex, they did wonders on my mood, but it made me extremely nauseous.
