Being male, I can't give an 'experiential' answer, but of the six relationships I've had, four partners were especially aroused during menses. Discussing it, we came to these conclusions about why this was so: 1. increased hormonal levels 2. increased initial lubrication makes for more enjoyable foreplay 3. increased mass (uterine lining) causes generally increased awareness of sexual organs, hence sex is 'more on her mind.'
P.S. Personally, while menstrual sex doesn't increase my enjoyment, it certainly never decreased it. I view it as a celebration of femine possibility.
