    In reply to Why Men Should Learn To Like Period Sex
    My theoretically enlightened boyfriend (who probably wouldn't mind buying tampons for me, if it ever came to that) is fine with period sex (thank you, Instead!), but really disappointed me last night. I tried to talk about this article over drinks last night. He almost turned green and basically begged me to change the subject. "You even have a DRINK in front of you and you can't talk about it?" Sigh. Yeah. Disappointing. #periodsex

    The funniest thing I ever heard was when my bf said "don't all women get hysterectomies at 45?" because his mom had one. he also used to pronounce "menstruation" like this: "men-iss-tration" He grew up with only brothers in a household where dating was not allowed. I set him straight pretty quickly. Now, we're very comfortable talking about all kinds of body issues, which is nice. #periodsex

    I don't know, I'm completely with you that periods shouldn't be the taboo that they are and that guys in general should learn to be more comfortable with them, and the idea of period sex if it comes up, but that said there's a big difference between occasional period sex when he knows what's up, and waking up unexpectedly covered in blood (assuming that the article writer was telling the truth and it wasn't just a little spot on the sheets) #periodsex

    My husband has started to chill out a bit. After seven years of being together, and three years of marriage, he is no longer afraid to be seen carrying a drugstore bag that contains a fresh box of tampons.

    The last time he tried to refuse to carry the bag, I told him very loudly in front of the Duane Reade crowd that no one was going to think he was having his period.

    He was humiliated, and the clerk much amused.

    He still won't discuss poo, though. Poo is very private.

    BTW, he's forty-fucking-two. #periodsex

    I don't know. My boyfriend's cool with some period sex once in a while, and that's great considering how squicked out most guys are by women even talking about the details of their periods. I don't even enjoy period sex that much. But I think if a dude's not down with the blood, then that should be okay, too. And I don't think it's cool to spring period sex on a guy without warning, either -- it seems akin to a guy doing something new in bed without your permission. #periodsex

    Dear Cynthia,

    Tell your stupid assistant superintendent that he's 15 years behind the times. I took my girlfriend to prom in 1994. The seas did not boil, the earth did not quake, and society did not instantly crumble. A couple of guys came out of the closet a year later, but I'm pretty sure that would have happened anyway.

    Don't back down. Prom is silly, overrated, and damn important in this society.

    Love,

    This only confirms my theory that the best weapon a woman can have is not mace, a rape whistle, a gun, or a cellphone, but a saved-up packet of her menstrual blood, to be popped and waved in the face of dude(s) in question. They'll run away screaming or puking, of course. #periodsex

    In reply to Why Men Should Learn To Like Period Sex
    I am not bothered by another woman being on her period and my ex used to like it (she would say that having a tampon in was extra stimulation) but I have to say, when I have my period, at least the bad days, I just want to veg out by myself and drink tea and maybe eat salty snacks and be alone. I’m not that social let alone into sex or sexual activity. It’s not that I feel unclean I just feel over my period and also just not sexy or in the mood. This isn’t for the whole time (which, um, is about a week for me, or used to be). This actually came up last night, on my birthday, and I tried to get into making out/giving head, but mostly kindof just wanted to curl up and cuddle with my pillow. I probably need to get better about saying, "I’m having my period/not in the mood." I want to be as comfortable about the topic as you, Anna, but having my period makes me want to hibernate.

    That being said, most guys I’ve been with, at least in recent memory, had no problem with it. #periodsex

    @lustylady: 'This actually came up last night, on my birthday, and I tried to get into making out/giving head'

    Maybe I'm misreading.. Please tell me your birthday present wasn't giving your dude a blowjob!

    Also, general TMI suggestion – period sex doesn't have to mean intercourse or even taking out/off your blood catcher of choice. Hand jobs, blow jobs and vibrators go a long way. #periodsex

    Excerpt from phone conversation with boyfriend last night/ Reason #4546 for why he's a keeper:

    Me: Yeah, I get really farty when I'm on my period.

    Just trying to synthesize all of today's lessons: if she filmed her sex tape during her period, am I required to watch it? #sextapes

    I cannot be the only one a little curious as to what a "hardcore, solo" sex tape by someone like her actually entails. #sextapes

    I've never actually seen any of these except for a sanitized edit of the Pamela/Tommy thing - that was enough to gross me out forever. #sextapes

    If I woke up covered in blood of unknown provenance, I might label myself scarred for life, too.

    My boyfriend is pro-period sex. He is of the put a towel down and let's go school of thought. I, however, find the idea horrifying in a visceral way. I mean, ew. Sure I appreciate getting a monthly reminder that hey, good job on not getting pregnant, but that doesn't mean I want to revel in it. #periodsex

    I can't speak from experience, but I've been told that period sex isn't actually that bad because the blood can function as extra lube.

    From a lesbian perspective, my girlfriend isn't into period sex too much, but the few times we've done it, it feels very ... primal. I don't know if that's the best word, but it is an odd experience to see blood on my fingers after touching her. #periodsex

    That condom story already had me cringing, but when I got to the part that they were packaged by shirtless men without being sterilized, just....ewww!

    I'm guessing the men where shirtless due to it being hot (likely terrible conditions to work in), so I'm picturing them dripping sweat onto the condoms as they are being packaged. Yuck... #condoms

    @formergr: I actually don't think regular condoms are sterilized. Legal ones I mean. There's no reason to sterilize them because what they go on and in aren't sterile areas. #condoms
