I HAVE MY PERIOD TODAY!!!

Okay. Here are a few simple questions that I was just wondering about. Women: how comfortable do you feel when talking about your menstral cycle to men? Do you think of your period as a woman's secret or do you share with your lover? Men: How comfortable are you when women talk to you about their menstral cycle? Are you curious to know more, or do you think that they should keep it to themselves? Either way, why do you feel the way you do?
To answer my own questions, I feel really comfortable in sharing what is going on with my body. I share with my man, my friends, and anyone who seems caring enough. However, I have always been taught that women shouldn't talk about their periods in front of men because it is wrong and it is something that they need not bother about. In my oppinion, that's just rubbish!!! So what do you all think?

well, onnestly? I really don't want to know! I don't have a particular problem with talking about it but yeah, I don't really have a need to know, just take care of it really

Um if you're sleeping with the guy, he'll know! lol but if not, I don't honestly see any reason to mention it at all. *shrug* A period is just a period, Girls tend to make it into this huge deal, which it so isn't.

I've wondered about that sometimes but don't ask about it and if someone tells me about it or not that's fine.

i tend to be really weepy and sensative during mine and i also get horrible back aches so i think it's fair to my beau that i mention it casually. usually it doesn't take more than just saying "i'm kind of weepy this week." and he gets the hint. it's only fair for him to know how i'm feeling so he doesn't think it's his fault that i'm so emotional. i don't go into a plethra of details but i at least give him a heads up. he appreciates it cuz it reassures him that he is doing nothing wrong. hope that helps.

Well, I've always felt really comfortable if girls/women around me feel comfortable discussing it in my pressence. It's something that's never really fased me, I've always had mostly female friends, and to be honest if it's something which is an issue for them, then I generally care enough to want to know. I went out with a girl for 3 years, and from the beginning could tell her when she was due more often than she could remember herself. Natalie, your comments worry me, because it suggests that you think the effect a period has on women is nothing of consequence, when clearly some women have severe side effects, which are a problem. I think why should they have to keep quiet and not complain? We men complain about every little thing. What more is there to say, except if you're my friend and feel the need to chat, then you're welcome.

I'm sorry I guess I'm generalizing. I think some women do have problems, but I feel many of them exaggerate it. They totally use it as an excuse.

Post 8 by Manwe (The Dark Lord) on Wednesday, 24-Aug-2005 4:02:19

it's just a part of nature, why not talk about it, doesn't bother me at all. when you have a gf you got to deal with it on some level anyway so why worry about it?

Post 9 by PorkInCider (Wind assisted.) on Wednesday, 24-Aug-2005 5:34:41

Nat, there will always be people who exagerate, to get attention, it happens, but I've known women who go through hell, who put their partner through hell, and often don't even realise at the time they're doing it. Some women in my experience are lucky, and have brief almost unobtrusive periods, while others are very heavy for an extended time.

Post 10 by rdfreak (THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE-BLUE KANGA-KICKIN AUSIE) on Wednesday, 24-Aug-2005 5:40:56

yep that's right. it's nature. I am open about that even to anyone of my friends Lol but yeah .. some guys get turned on by "sleeping" (hate that term for what they use it for) with girls who have it :P that's gotta be gros but whatever floats their boat I guess Lol

Post 11 by PorkInCider (Wind assisted.) on Wednesday, 24-Aug-2005 5:53:49

Rachel, I don't think it's necesarily hot to sleep with a woman when she's on her period, but as long as it's not heavy, there really isn't a lot of mess. I've been with women who were more horny on their periods than at other times, and wanted it more than I.

Post 12 by Manwe (The Dark Lord) on Wednesday, 24-Aug-2005 5:59:30

yeah well my x was murder on hers. wow she totally changed, but there's not much you can do about that, you just live and bare it. tis all you can do cause you can't really control it, not easily

Post 13 by rdfreak (THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE-BLUE KANGA-KICKIN AUSIE) on Wednesday, 24-Aug-2005 6:02:27

lol well ya can shove a pill or six down their throat Lol haha

Post 14 by Manwe (The Dark Lord) on Wednesday, 24-Aug-2005 7:00:41

lol a chill pill?

Post 15 by Japanimangel (Account disabled) on Wednesday, 24-Aug-2005 7:59:45

It's something that I am very comfortable, and like some have said my b/f can usually figure it out before I can lol! I'm comfortable disscussing my body. It was just always like that with my family, I guess thats from having 2 older sisters and mom around, and leaving ppoor dad to fend for himself and listen to us bitch lol

Post 16 by Goblin (I have proven to myself and the world that I need mental help) on Wednesday, 24-Aug-2005 10:04:31

LV .There is something that can be done .in the form of coils that are inserted into the cervix, these lessen heavy uncontrolled bleeding, and can help with PMS and so on.
there is no longer any reason to grin and bear it.

Post 17 by sugarbaby (The voice of reason) on Wednesday, 24-Aug-2005 10:40:18

actually goblin, one of the major side effects of the coil is that it induces extremely heavy and painful periods, so it is by no means a solution, in fact many women refrane from using it for that exact reason. The coil is, in fact, a means of birth control, so one would only use the coil if yoou were aiming not to call pregnant. one thing that is often recommended is the contraceptive pill as this can often reduce cramps signifficantly as I know from my own experience of having had extremely painful periods when I was younger, to the extent I regularly used to pass out, to having no cramps at all when I started taking the pill.

Post 18 by Manwe (The Dark Lord) on Wednesday, 24-Aug-2005 12:34:59

Yeah alot of women use the pill it's quite common.

Post 19 by Ukulele<3 (Try me... You know you want to.) on Wednesday, 24-Aug-2005 17:48:05

Oh gross!!! The pill!!! It is the reason why my period is so messed up!!! Gur!!! Some pills just don't work for certain body types. Fabolous, I'm curious in knowing why you feel the way you do. Is it the fact that you just don't feel comfortable when talking about it? Is it because you think it's disgusting? And Kev, you know that I have always loved the fact that you are so caring!!! There are a lot of us women out there who try very hard not to make a big deal about the menstral cycle and the cramps that go with it, and I think it's sad that people view it as an excuse for women to complain. Clare, I too have had horrible cramps along with bloating. Ug! But enough about me, what about you??? Any more thoughts on the period?
*sexy*

Post 20 by PorkInCider (Wind assisted.) on Wednesday, 24-Aug-2005 18:09:26

Claire, thank you for writing what I would have had to, for Goblin's benefit, I have family members who have been talked into having a coil fitted by the doctor because a pill isn't suitable, and then ending up in so much pain that they couldn't work for weeks. I'm sure some of the best remedies would be the ones used by our grandparents, but I don't think I could ask my grandmother stuff like that, she's a bit of a prude. lol

Post 21 by Pink Flamingo (Generic Zoner) on Wednesday, 24-Aug-2005 23:44:05

I don't talk about it ot random guys...but I may mention it to my boyfriend if it is important. But other than that not really. Its not that I'm uncomfortalbe with it, but I just feel not many people want to know.

Post 22 by Manwe (The Dark Lord) on Thursday, 25-Aug-2005 0:56:11

well it's just another part of nature, nothing to be ashamed of, it's just 1 of them things

Post 23 by rdfreak (THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE-BLUE KANGA-KICKIN AUSIE) on Thursday, 25-Aug-2005 5:21:56

ah, that nasty pill! .. actually I started to take it because doctors thought it may help with my acne (and after a while of taking it, it did start working out a great success) however, I went off it for a time, (about three to four months) then started to take it again. but it didn't work out too well that time. because I started again a few days after my period so it totally messed my body up :( I was actually wanting to purposely work to skip having a period while in the US, but, because of my taking it at weird and random times, I had it for the majority of the time I was in the US last month. .. moral of the story: if you're gunna take the pill, have it every day at same time. (yep that's obvious right :) but also the first day of your period, start taking the sugar pills and it works great! :) .. OK now I feel weird :) but, I totally reccomend it for acne! :)

Post 24 by Goblin (I have proven to myself and the world that I need mental help) on Thursday, 25-Aug-2005 12:15:26

Blackbird. I didn't say the coil was a magic cure for every woman, in the same way that the pill doesn't work for everyone. I merely said, that there was no reason for a woman to grin and bear the worst problems caused by her monthly cycle..you took every word out of context still I'm getting used to that.

Post 25 by sugarbaby (The voice of reason) on Thursday, 25-Aug-2005 13:19:51

and I quote, "there is something that can be done in the form of a coil fitted in the cervics, these lessen bleeding and help with pms" ... not "these may help ... so no goblin it would seem that no one has taken your words out of context at all.

Post 26 by PorkInCider (Wind assisted.) on Thursday, 25-Aug-2005 13:33:14

Surely Goblin if I was to do that, I would only be doing what you yourself usually do. You ignore so many people that you only ever see a fragmented piece of any topic, and try to answer as though you can see the full thread. I answered and commented in the way I saw fit. You suggested at the time that the coil was the answer for everything, well, what a caring guy you appear to be.

Post 27 by Harp (I've now got the bronze prolific poster award! now going for the silver award!) on Thursday, 25-Aug-2005 13:41:38

kev how dare you say something on these boards that doesn't 100 percent tally with what goblin says is fact? who the f**k do you think you are young man? now go and read the rules that state that you may only post if:
"A". you totally agree with goblin!
"B". are willing to read and agree too total horse crap sometimes just because you must assume that goblin is always right and nobody else ever is.
"C". that you like the smell of his farts because you must spend the rest of your zone days with your tongue shoved so far up his ass that smelling anything else would be a physical impossibility!
and
"D". don't ever say something horrible to him, even if you haven't.

do you have all that now?

Post 30 by eccentric bruin (Generic Zoner) on Thursday, 25-Aug-2005 17:29:54

Ok...I'm not sure y this is a topic to begin with, but I'd like to add my two cents. For one I don't think you should be making it public when your on your period or not, that's generally something you keep to yourself. Come on, most guys don't want to know about that shit. They're like keep it to yourself. I mean if your dating someone or close friends with them, after being around you for a long time they kind of start to figure out when your on it by your change in mannerisms. I mean sure you can talk about it with your girl friends, but not in detail. Something like "I have huge cramps today," but you don't need to be super direct because honestly no one truly wants to know what you do on your period. Sure whether you wear tampoons or pads or if you're a heavy bleeder may come to question sometimes, but not the nasty shit like oh I have sex on my period. I think that's something you need to keep to yourself sometimes because I personally don't want to know when your on your period or what you do while on it. You just need to keep that to yourself, but if you want someone to know you just insinuate it somehow, but don't directly say it because again that's information you could keep to yourself. Unless your the type that would go and tell some random person then ok tell the whole world, but it's not some sort of new drug developed to fight cancer, so your not going to make any headlines more like the psycho woman section. Every woman goes through it because yes it is part of nature and at one point you'll need to learn about it, but there's a clear distinction from needing to learn what happens with your body and advertising it. Advertise it in a newspaper next time and see how many ppl will be repulsed by what you said because it's something ppl don't want to know your on, but would learn about it. When someone asks about it to learn about what happens on your period or asks what to do if something happens,like what do you do for bad cramps, then well they're welcoming the topic so talk about it then. Again talking about your period should be only when it's benefical for someone not just to let the world know your on it, so if you could keep such things to yourself that would be great.

Post 31 by Witchcraft (Account disabled) on Friday, 26-Aug-2005 3:48:03

I totally disagree with the above message. First of all, men need to know because for instants, in my situation, say I had a little girl and died, and my husband was left to raise her? How would he know how to deal with and explain things if he wasn't kept up to date. Plus the only way you know if your abnormal, and have something seriously wrong, is if you talk to close girlfriends in detail. Come on, we're not living back in the dark ages when women hid themselves away because they were bleeding...And if I misunderstood this last message I do apologize, however, from the tone I don't think I have. There are problems that face women like PCO; which can lead to uteran cancer if a woman isn't careful and so much more; such as severe acnee. If we don't talk about things, again, how will we know when something is potentially wrong and know to consult our doctors, and I'd rather my husband be able to talk openly to our daughters if something should happen to me, instead of my babies thinking they're bleeding to death; which I've heard still happens, when they start. That is a totally unnecessary trauma for a young developing girl. On top of that, if men were a bit more informed maybe women wouldn't get snickered at when they go to buy pads, tampons or whatever their method is. Or maybe stores should only hire female clerks so men don't have to be subjected to such facts of life, and us women don't have to be subjected to such downgrading behavior? I'm very greatful that I have a husband who wants to understand, and even though my father and I don't get along, I'm very glad for his ability to see beyond himself and understand as well. If he weren't there would have been quite a few difficulties the summers I spent in his home.

Post 32 by PorkInCider (Wind assisted.) on Friday, 26-Aug-2005 8:18:48

Witchcraft, I only wish more people were of a similar view. I don't see why it has to be a secretive thing. Yes, it's personal, and I wouldn't want to know details of everyone's period, but my close friends, and and certainly friends who have problems, I want to be there for them, and able to support them.

Post 33 by Ukulele<3 (Try me... You know you want to.) on Friday, 26-Aug-2005 16:24:48

Well, eccentric bruin. I am very glad that you have responded to my topic. Although I strongly disagree with you in every way, I did ask for everyone's opinion and you did give it. However, nobody talked about having sex on their period here so I don't know why you are mentioning it like someone did. Well, at least I didn't post or read about it on this topic. As to wondering why this is even a topic, these are, after all, public boards where people can discuss "anything from games to ice-cream" so basically, you can talk about anything!!! Also, you'd be surprised at how many men care about their woman's period!!! My only hope for you is for you to be half as open-minded and caring!!! W.C., I totally agree with you on wanting a good father for my daughters. I am so happy that I found the right guy who will know what to tell them during their first time with it if something were to ever happen to me. I love you so much, Honey. And thanks for being so kind and understanding!!!

Post 39 by shea (number one pulse checking chicky) on Saturday, 27-Aug-2005 3:33:21

ug, to begin. The pill is a no no no no for me! That is the reason I went blind five years ago. I do have the coil and It does make the cramps all the worst! Ouch is all I can say. But what is a girl to do that can't use the forbidden pill! The one plus to the IUD, , or coil as some are reffering to it as, is it has no hormones so no side effects. Horray for the IUD! ! heheheheheh smile- angel

Post 40 by PorkInCider (Wind assisted.) on Saturday, 27-Aug-2005 7:43:45

But Shea, that is the thing, for some woman there are side effects to the coil, and some have to have it removed again very swiftly because of the severe pain it can cause. My sister couldn't work for 9 weeks the first time they talked her in to having it fitted.

Post 41 by eccentric bruin (Generic Zoner) on Saturday, 27-Aug-2005 16:22:11

So umm did any of you actually read what I wrote because all your points about learning and stuff I said. Here let me copy and paste for you just in case you didn't get it the first time around. "Every woman goes through it because yes it is part of nature and at one point you'll need to learn about it, but there's a clear distinction from needing to learn what happens with your body and advertising it." and "When someone asks about it to learn about what happens on your period or asks what to do if something happens,like what do you do for bad cramps, then well they're welcoming the topic so talk about it then. Again talking about your period should be only when it's benefical for someone not just to let the world know your on it..." Hummm, does that sound anything like your argument about learning about it? Wow, so may be you were agreeing with me then? If you want go back and read my post and you'll see that i actually did write that. So as you can see yeah if you want to learn about talk about it, plus girls learn about their period in elementary school. Dude I don't know about you, but i sure learned about it then. They had an hour devoted to it. You also learn about it in high school and college, but you learn the mechanism and how your hormones might flucuated, but i never heard about someone learning about another being on their period right then and there in class. So I will reiterate you don't need to advertise it to the world, but casual questions to know if there is a problem alright sure that's welcome. OH and before i forget: yeah ok this let's talk thing is free for everyone to talk about anything they want from shoes to streets or whatever, but there has to be a place where you draw the line. I mean what if i put up a post about shitting, where I said i'm constipated or have some chorro, and went on to describe experience. Like it was mushy and green and well actually multi colored, and it came out watery and there were some chunks in it too. Are you grossed out yet? See no one wants to here about the details, but if i were to ask, "well I'm constipated and I don't know what to take or eat what do you recommend?" Now that's completely different because your asking for help when you have a PROBLEM not to just let the information flow. So again that's my two cents. May be you could actually read it this time, instead of reading, but not reading or else you'll just type away and just be saying exactly what I had said, but in different words. Let's face it the point of an argument is to prove your point not the other persons point. Sorry for the tone just now, but i can get a bit passionate when it comes to defending what I believe. So if I offended you, totally sorry.

Post 42 by eccentric bruin (Generic Zoner) on Saturday, 27-Aug-2005 16:31:41

OH i forgot to add, that shitting is also a natural process, but it's not openly advertised. And the people, mainly the guys, who do want to hear about who's on their period and what they do while on it and how another shits, is just totally sucking up to you because they want to tap that ass not because they really want to know. More like let's come across as cool and sauve then may be she'll like me. Not a good way to go about things. Ok now i think i finished and I sense that i'll be getting some ppl upset and ppl won't like me, but I really could care less.

Post 43 by PorkInCider (Wind assisted.) on Saturday, 27-Aug-2005 18:38:34

AB, I find it offensive that you assume just because we don't agree with you, that we didn't read your post. Perhaps we just don't agree, and don't find it worthy of special mention. I'm also saddened that you've not met any guys who really do care about you enough. It's nothing to do with wanting to give a girl any kind of impression, for me, if a friend of mine has problems with her period, then I want to be able to offer her fconsideration and support. I also feel what you did was display arrogance not passion, but maybe that's just my interpretation.

Post 44 by rdfreak (THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE-BLUE KANGA-KICKIN AUSIE) on Saturday, 27-Aug-2005 19:27:51

"AB, I find it offensive that you assume just because we don't agree with you, that we didn't read your post." It is clear from the responses that she got that people didn't correctly read her post. They basically restated what she was trying to say. and it was mentioned, because if you look, posts 31 & 33 were in response to Bruins. So Rachel, if someone has a strong view about something they're automatically on their period? Sad.

Yeah, Bruin we all heard your point. It was a little rude but to each there own! I don't think blackbird is open about this with his friends just to get in there pants. Um if they are discussing it they must be on it. What guy in there right mind would be trying to get in the pants of a girl on there period? We all know we can be a little bitchy! Yeah, i know some do it on there period, but who would go looking for it? This is a open discussion and those who don't want to read or talk about it don't have to read it. I mean it is open in the subject line, so you know what your going to read if you push enter. smile- angel

i think you shouldn't talk about it unless sex is involved and not even then because just like was said before they gonna find out anyway.

Post 52 by eccentric bruin (Generic Zoner) on Monday, 29-Aug-2005 2:14:00

Sorry everyone i do admit that perhaps i came across as rude and I sincerely apologize. Yes, I can not click on the link thing, but I just remember ppl actually talking about it on quicknotes so i just expressed my opinion. Yes also everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I just got a bit frustrated at ppl were chewing me out for my initial comment, but actually arguing what i had said before so it made it seem as if ppl didn't really read what i had written. Also i wasn't saying that blackbird specifically was trying to get into someone's pants, especially not while they're on their period. Yes he probably is genuinely concerned, but i was saying that most guys in general just like to talk about things just to suck up to the girl who they may like just to get some. I guess that was offensive and I truly apologize. So now you know my views and I yours.

Post 58 by Chris N (I just keep on posting!) on Monday, 05-Sep-2005 17:08:13

Relationships are based on sharing and open communication, or at least I think so. I'd want my partner to share such things, as I'd want to be able to share issues that I'm going through. Maybe that's just me though...though I certainly hope not.

Awww Chris. That's really sweet!!! I too think that communication is the key!!! So come on, keep those posts coming!!!

certainly is, no point in entering into any form of relationship if there's going to be no go boundries. Where's the trust?

Well I think I would not tell everyone but I think my love should share it - for several reasons. Not any other male people though. It's not their business, I think.

Well, I won't tell everyone i am on the rag, but my boyfriend does know, mainly cuz he has to deal with me from time to time, and as for guys having sex with girls on their period, Um... I personally wouldn't ever do such a thing, but hey if a girl wants to have sex with a guy while she is on her period, and if a guy wants to go down on her while she is on her period, more power to them, I suppose. anyway, enough said from me... Peace!

Post 64 by Inesle1987 (Account disabled) on Friday, 09-Sep-2005 7:34:43

I agree. I wouldn'T do it either *smiles*.

ladies with respect: your period is just another human function to you. whats to be embarresed, ashamed about? if i was honest i personaly, am curious about the minstral cycle. (i like human biolagy) if a woman feels comfortable talking to a man about it then do. though girls (conspirital whisper) i dout your period hurts as much a a morning shave with a cold and wet raiser. ooooooh that hurts.

Post 66 by Witchcraft (Account disabled) on Friday, 09-Sep-2005 12:52:09

Beg to differ. I've had cramps from my shoulders to my knees, can barely walk for hours during the worst ones, back and other body parts hurts no matter what I do...And I know my situation isn't the worst. *grin* So, nope, I'll take that cold water and wet raisor anytime...

Post 67 by PorkInCider (Wind assisted.) on Friday, 09-Sep-2005 21:22:36

I'm unsure how to actually put into words my shock at a guy who seems to think that a cold wet shave really hurts, so much that he could compair it to anything, never mind a woman's period. He obviously hasn't experienced anything in his life, and is one of the most inconsiderate guys I've heard talk of such things.

Post 68 by Manwe (The Dark Lord) on Saturday, 10-Sep-2005 5:52:41

lol it doesn't hurt at all it's just bloody annoying.

Post 70 by Witchcraft (Account disabled) on Saturday, 10-Sep-2005 21:05:31

Hmm, to each his/her own. Yes I've done it, and I can't say I personally mind it; and neither does my husband, but I don't often do it because it doesn't particularly turn me on either, but I'll say one thing for it. It does seem to relieve some of the cramping.

Post 71 by Inesle1987 (Account disabled) on Monday, 12-Sep-2005 6:24:46

Hmm haven't done it yet, don'T know if I want to do that during my period.

Post 72 by Ukulele<3 (Try me... You know you want to.) on Monday, 12-Sep-2005 16:58:23

Hey WC. hehehehehe It relieves the cramping for me too!!! Lol. That's probably why I like doing it.

Post 84 by Puggle (I love my life!) on Tuesday, 20-Sep-2005 7:01:31

hehe my house mate recenty asked me if I could tell him when I was on my cycle so he could be more cortious around me during that time, or at least be more undersatnding if I was a little sensative. I found this kind of invasive, but amusing. I just pointed out to him that if I was the type of girl to really go crazy when on ehr period, didn't he think he would have worked it out by now. after all I've been here for nearly 8 months. he agreed, and we left it at that. that beeing said though. I've no problem talking about my period. I don't think it's necessary for anyone to know. with the acception of my partner. but anyone else? no. it's a fact of life.

Post 85 by Inesle1987 (Account disabled) on Wednesday, 21-Sep-2005 3:06:05

Ooa strange. I would not react so relaxed, I would be a bit turned off lolol.

Post 86 by Chris N (I just keep on posting!) on Wednesday, 21-Sep-2005 4:35:17

Points to him for at least making the attempt.

Post 87 by Inesle1987 (Account disabled) on Wednesday, 21-Sep-2005 6:51:35

Naw, not really points. If I were him I would be ashamed.

Post 88 by wildebrew (We promised the world we'd tame it, what were we hoping for?) on Wednesday, 21-Sep-2005 12:46:33

I don't see being on your period as anything shameful or inappropriate and I have no problem with being told about it. If it were my partner I'd rather know about her period, so as to be very caring and considerate if she was in pain, and also it's something that affects her life so I want to be aware of it. Nothing wrong with love making when the girl is on her period, not as far as I am concerned, just need some towels and or be in the shower since things can get a bit messy. If that's what both people want therer's absolutely no reason not to do it.

Post 89 by Inesle1987 (Account disabled) on Thursday, 22-Sep-2005 4:33:03

No, not shameful, but I would not have sex at that time. (don'T want to cleam the mess away afterwards, that's one reason).

Post 90 by rdfreak (THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE-BLUE KANGA-KICKIN AUSIE) on Thursday, 22-Sep-2005 7:47:21

Lol Puggle that's damn funny about your house mate asking you that Lol .. never heard such a thing in me life hahaha

Post 91 by PorkInCider (Wind assisted.) on Thursday, 22-Sep-2005 10:29:02

Krystel, you could tell me instead, not so I could be more sensative when it happens, but just because I asked. lol

Post 92 by Inesle1987 (Account disabled) on Friday, 23-Sep-2005 2:20:26

Oh, what a reason, Kev *smiles*.

Post 93 by PorkInCider (Wind assisted.) on Friday, 23-Sep-2005 4:52:31

Thing is Ines, Krystel already knows what a sensative and kind caring guy I am, without me trying to prove it here, so it would just be waisted if I tried to display such charactoristics here. lol

Post 94 by The Luggage (Zone BBS Addict) on Friday, 30-Sep-2005 23:37:43

Periods have never made me feel uncomfortable. I just think it's like, the reminder of what a wonderful gift women have, the ability to grow new life within themselves, it's like, the proof of that, the confirmation, and whenever any partner of mine is on, I can't help being more attentive than ever. I kinda get even more protective etc.

I don't know how anyone could be ashamed of it in any way! I would certainly not be uncomfortable about going to the store to buy Tampons or whatever, but I know many many guys simply won't do that! Hahahahahaha! Silly really.

I'm not saying that I'd want every girl I meet to announce what point in their cycle they are, but girlfriends yes. I'd be very very hurt if a partner didn't want to talk about it with me! I don't just mean letting me know when they're on whatever, I mean being completely open about everything connected with it!

Finally, a lot of people, guys and girls, have this funny idea that periods are dirty. They aren't at all! Without being too graphical, period blood is completely clean! Think about it! It comes from where babies can be built for goodness sake! It only becomes a problem if the girl isn't very hygeanic, but if she is good about keeping herself clean, then it seriously isn't a problem!

Yay for sympathetic men! My sister has a bf who always knows and brings her roses and chocolate or icecream, what a winner. As for talking about it, I think it is something to be open about especially if it is causing one problems. No not with the whole world mind you but one's friends and or significant other.

Post 96 by rat (star trek rules!) on Saturday, 01-Oct-2005 14:29:39

I agree with that. I don't care if a woman tells me about their period, it is just somthing that happens.

Post 97 by Siriusly Severus (The ESTJ 1w9 3w4 6w7 The Taskmaste) on Sunday, 28-Jun-2009 15:39:16

I don't think it's any of the guys business unless you plan to have sex that night or something. I also think the thing is really her business.

Wouldn't it be a bit random to suddenly out of the blue say: "Hey, (name) Look, I have my sucky thing called a period today, Oh...!"

Post 98 by GreenTurtle (Music is life. Love. Vitality.) on Monday, 29-Jun-2009 15:50:45

I agree with most of the other people on here that said they would tell their significant other about it, and their girl friends. But nobody else really needs to hear about it. It's not anything to be ashamed of, but really, unless the person is really close to you, why do they need to know? It might make them uncomfortable. But hey, if you and your girl friends wanna have a bitch fest about it, who cares? lol

Post 99 by dissonance (Help me, I'm stuck to my chair!) on Thursday, 16-Jul-2009 20:59:05

I definitely tell my boyfriend about it...well, actually, he tends to remind me before I remember, haha. Obviously it'snot something I broadcast to everyone, but my bf and my close girlfriends tend to know about it if it comes up. Not ashamed.

Post 100 by sea star (I just keep on posting!) on Monday, 27-Jul-2009 17:04:10

I'll talk about it with close friends and my significant other, but I won't tell the whole world.

Post 101 by Inspired Chick (Zone BBS Addict) on Monday, 03-Aug-2009 22:18:47

Ok, I had to just say allowed OK! about eating a girl out on her period. Dude you know you are sucking her blood too? EWWWWWWWW! but if you like it more power to ya.
And there's nothing wrong with having sex with your period. Just lots of clean up.

Post 102 by Ukulele<3 (Try me... You know you want to.) on Tuesday, 04-Aug-2009 21:59:19

Wow! This was a post from way back when... I'd say after growing up a little and after these past 4 years, I have gotten a lot more shy and not as open about my period. I mean my man and I talk about it freely but I wouldn't say I still feel free to talk about it with my friends. I don't know why. I used to be less reserved about it but I seem to be a slightly different person back then from who I am now. Way less shy and outragiously crazy! :p This was rather interesting rereading though.

Post 103 by SunshineAndRain (I'm happily married, a mom of two and a fulltime college student.) on Wednesday, 05-Aug-2009 9:30:38

I tell my husband when I'm on my period. Actually he knows beforehand 'cuz I get bad PMS. Poor dude has to suffer withme for a week of PMS, then a week of me bitching about my cramps and how tired I am. We do have sex when I'm on my period, but I wait till the endso it's not quite so messy. Sex is actually more pleasurable for me when I'm nearing the end of my period. Anybody else find that to be true?

Post 104 by Ukulele<3 (Try me... You know you want to.) on Wednesday, 05-Aug-2009 21:56:50

I don't know why but I want it more when I'm on my period. I mean I always want it all the time but it somehow intensifies when... lol I hardly ever plead a headache. But um yeah. shshsh!

Post 105 by singingsensation (I just keep on posting!) on Saturday, 15-Aug-2009 20:40:10

I usually don't talk about it in front of my boyfriend. I just kinda tell him that I'm mad and it's because I'm on my cycle. I usually get pretty sensitive and angry about stupid things when I'm on it haha.
