I haven't had that happen to me.

I find that women have the problem talking
about their female systems, they dont want
to put unsexy (they think) images into the mind of men.

One thing I've never understood is why women wanna send men out to get tampons & shit I've never had to ask a guy or anyone else to do that for me. I know it's coming, I'm always prepared (even if it catches me by surprise @ WORK). I'll never understand that

Maybe I just stock up more than any other woman alive

i don't give a damn about no stinkin' periods. i grew up in a home environment that was all women, so they'd talk about it like it was the most normal thing in the world, and if i was around, they'd just expect me to either tune it out or just keep up with them.

& to answer the question, no it doesn't make me uncomfortable at all to discuss it. It would make me feel stupid, however, to ask a bf or anyone to "buy me some tampons" Can my punk ass not get to the store? Is my car broke down? wtf??

I cycle with the full moon.

Never had a man buy my tampons or pads. I dont think its difficult to discuss periods with men but they dont always understand what women go through during this time. And discussing this with my daughter it was not difficult at all especailly since kids have those classes now where they discuss their grwoing bodies at school, they help a lot.

I have never had a problem talking about this..with any males. It's a part of life and I would hope the men I have around me are mature enough to handle the subject.

As for teaching my girls about it...I made it a very special time. So they too wouldn't feel weird talking about it. It was a special day of lunch and shopping to celebrate their womanhood!

I have taught my son to be open about it, and understanding with his future girlfriends or wife!

I don't why one would wanna talk about it,
but I believe that relationships are 50/50.
I'll talk with her about her periods,
but afterwards,
she has to allow equal discussion time to the subject of my dingleberries.

I for one NEVER had a problem talking about this topic(or I would NOT be posting at all).

My ex husband(my childs father) is a CNA as well, as I was(choose a different career later). He KNEW about the female system and the like(same as me). After I had our daughter HE was the one that went out to buy pads for me and after the fact, he isnt afraid to go buy them at the local grocery store for our daughter when she is in at his home for the weekends.

As for me and my daughter, she has hers about a week after I have mine. We start early in our family with the cycle(at the age of 9). YEP, try explaining that one to a 9 year old. Me and my daughter both the same age and in the 4th grade. She will soon be 12 now, and thinks she is going on 30 at times lol. It was scary(of course we hear the myths like: if your bleeding ur dying bit, ur cursed, and "Aunt Flo" came to terms) but highly untrue. I talked with my daughter, as well as her aunts, step mom, her father, grandmothers, etc. about what goes on in a womans body when that time of the month comes around.
I also told her to NEVER be afraid to ask questions about such things.

When I was young me and my mother would be in sync as well, it would be either me or her that started 1st then the other a week later. When my younger sister started hers, you guessed it! She hit right in between the both of us.

I dont think its a myth about being in sync with other females, I think its got something to do with something else, but not sure what!

Considering how many girls had sex during their periods 4 the 1st time with me because i told her it was ok & i wasn't disgusted, it seems it's weirder 4 them than 4 me
