Don't tell him before he comes over. First you are basically telling him, "listen we can't have sex and I wanted to tell you before hand because I think that's the only reason you are coming over".
Because honestly, that's the only reason why you'd "want" to tell him.
Secondly, a mature man should know that normally, once a month a mature woman is going to have her period. If he can't understand that you might not want to or be able to have sex during this time, then perhaps it's time to reevaluate who you are dating.
So, you don't tell him, he comes over, next thing you know, you get into it and you say, "Hey, I really really want you right now, but I have my period this week and I'd feel really uncomfortable having sex right now... But I'd love to get down on my knees and give you a mind blowing blowjob. And next week I'll be dripping wet for you and we can burn 10,000 calories all night long.
If that doesn't satisfy him. Friggin dump him.
Depends on how you are feeling, sex should not be the only thing the relationship holds on, if you want to spend time together with out sex that should be fine, depends on what he expects as well. Maybe let him know when he comes over if you want to spend time with him, or you can tell him before hand and you can see if he repects you or just using you for sex...
You need to tell him beforehand. Before he shows up at your house. You don't want to look like you're leading him on in any way. I don't know how long you've been dating him, but if this is your first time with a conflict over your period, I can't imagine it's been that long. Since that basis of not wanting sex every time you see other is not necessarily there yet (comes over time) then you really need to let him know beforehand.
I would suggest telling him something along these lines: I'm really looking forward to seeing you again. Just so you know, it's that time of the month for me, in case that makes any difference for you.
Hopefully it won't, but if its still really early in the relationship, it's alright if he wants to avoid that for now.
It depends on what you plan on doing. If its going to get sexual the sooner you tell him the better it is. Periods are completely natural and there is no reason to be ashamed. The easiest way to say it is "I can't. It's that time of the month." or "Not right now, I'm on my period." Suggest exploring his body and do something special for him like maybe oral sex. Also, many couples enjoy intercourse during this time, which (if the woman orgasms) can lessen cramps.
I would say before he comes over. So at least he won't be expecting sex. And there's always the blowjob alternative?
