I don't find menstruation taboo at all. It's a totally natural function. As cborgman said, I have no fear of the female anatomy.

My personal problem is with blood -- whether it be from the vagina, the nose or a cut finger. I don't do well with more than a trickling of blood at all... unless it's in a horror movie.

Have you guys ever heard of the Museum of Menstruation & Women's Health? It was a small exhibit room in the base ment of a Washington D.C. guy. He stopped taking visitors, but is looking for a permanent site for his extensive collection of historic feminine hygiene goods.

Check out the website: http://www.mum.org/

Im a man and when my mate is on her period, I try to take extra care of her. Some gals REALLY have rough days when Aunt Flo comes to visit so it's nice to be a little EXTRA nice during those days.

I have no qualms about having sex with a woman who's menstruating--but MANY men AND women do. It all goes back to Christian guilt and some HIDEOUSLY misinterpreted verses in Leviticus about women being "unclean" during her cycle. These scriptures also contain the infamous passages about homosexuality being an "abomination."

Err...these scriptures were ONLY intended for the priests of the day and were NOT rules meant for the GENERAL PUBLIC. The book of Leviticus was a manual for the priests of Levi--THAT'S ALL. It's got nothing to do with "God's holy word."

OK, having said that...

I will perform oral sex on a woman when she's on her period, no problem. Just put a towel down, have some Kleenex nearby in case any excess blood spills...then plow ahead.

Women are God's masterpiece. There's nothing "unclean" about them.

I'm never in the mood to have sex during my period. All I want to do is curl up with a good book, painkillers, and some tea. I don't even really want to eat much during my period.

because it's nasty

maybe, but it's part of female life. and with all the commercials you see about maxi-pads and feminine hygiene you think folks would be at least somewhat desensitized to it all.
Those commercials are embarassing and stupid. Like the one where this chick uses a long string of tampons to get a tampon that fell out a window.

whofarted there was a commercial like that?? ugggh! and hell yeah, feminine hygiene commercials are so stupid...and they're misleading, too!! i dunno about any of the other women here but i for one do not run around smiling on a beach or somethin like that when i'm bleedin!

nuts



maybe you should. maybe it would brighten up the experience lol

ummm...no. it's cold as hell in minneapolis right now, ain't no way in hell i'ma be runnin around lake calhoun and grinnin from ear to ear like, "i'm happyyy! i'm on my period--my heaviest flow just started today--and i kinna feel like crap, but i don't care! i'm wearin Brand X maxi-pads and i feel freee!!!"

confused



lol I love you, girl hug

Trying to answer the question as to why some people are squeamish about periods. I thought it would be obvious, but i guess inquiring minds wanted to know.

I once was with a guy who used to enjoy going down on me so much that he didn't mind doing it while I had my period. I was the one who felt uncomfortable letting him do it, but he actually BEGGED me to LET him.

I guess maybe it adds flavor?

I'm on my period now...swollen, crampy...fatigue-ridden...and I'm reminded about how taboo the subject still is...people just don't like to talk about it...women in my office (me included) hide pads and tampons in their pockets or up their sleeves when they go to the restroom...why?
Why is this natural thing such a taboo?


None of the people I now do this. We talk about our periods freely
