  1. 1. How many people on this site like menstruation.



Recommended Posts

I saw a survey on the internet a few years ago (can't find a link at the moment) about women's attitudes to menstrual sex. A lot of women said that they would like to have more sex when they were menstruating, but were worried about their partner's reaction if they bought the subject up. I've also seen comments by guys saying that if the woman was comfortable doing it, they don't see menstruation as a reason for not having sex.

These people need to talk to each other more (lol), but I guess that's the problem with a "taboo" subject - people don't talk about it.

Puddyls, thanks very much for continuing to post your pics 😀

My period just started a few hours ago and I'm sooooooooo horny 😞 I wish my husband was into period sex because I need it bad lol. 

 

Too bad. Can't believe someone would turn down a woman having a "need to be filled" any time of the month.

My ex husband would have sex during that time of the month, we just put a towel down. To be honest when you get turned on the bleeding often stops anyway so isn’t as messy as you might expect and if you go to the toilet before then sex can be as normal as usual anyway.

I'm only a bloke - and so there is a very high risk that anything I say will come across as mansplaining, mysoginistic, sexist, trivial etc.

I'll take the risk anyway to say that my heart goes out to all of you affected by the physical, mental and psychological effects of menstruation.  Sending virtual hugs, hot water bottles and chocolate.

This thread is interesting. I never thought that men would be turned on by menstruation. Every day is a school day, as they say. 

For me, menstruation isn't a turn on the way that peeing is. It's a bodily function that I wish women didn't have to deal with when they aren't trying to get pregnant, mostly for their sake. Being someone who likes to feel childlike and innocent in many ways, I'd hate to have a body that effectively says "I force you to be painfully conscious of being an adult for a few days every month", which is what menstruation seems like it would feel like if it happened to me. 

There are also many bodily functions like getting wet from being turned on, lactation, and even sweating that are less messy than periods and much less likely to be painful. I must admit that I would find it hard to feel sexy if my own crotch looked like an open wound. However, at the same time menstruation is something that makes me quite curious because it's not something I experience or ever will, and it's something private. The whole process of making babies is really a wonder, and the fact that something that in all other contexts would be unhealthy is nonetheless a natural part of it makes it all the more intriguing, and tends to inspire intense feelings.

It isn't a turn-on for me,  but it's more like it brings out the affectionate and protective side of my nature.   I think @puddyls is a total sweetheart in her willingness to share her whole experience with us.

As much as I get turned on by your pee photos @PuddyIs, I know this feeling only too well. I hope your cramps aren't too bad! ❤

aww. thanks, sweetie. 💕 they weren't. just that one kinda went on longer than usual, like it was going to go forevs.

and seriously! i too really didn't expect that. it's really fascinating hearing the opinions and experiences from the guys.

Don't think I've ever actually seen a "pad bulge" - I'll have to pay more attention when I'm out and about, lol.

I expect they are pretty rare. Most women would wear jeans or baggier skirts/trousers so that it wouldn’t show. Also not sure how many wear them, I switched to tampons at 20 and then a mooncup about 5 years ago so haven’t worn pads in years and don’t think any of my friends do either. Plus with the use of period pants etc the bulge doesn’t really exist. You may be lucky though!

I agree with you about pads - women whose preferences I am aware of only use pads at night, if at all. I think you're right too about pad bulges - if they were common, I would have noticed them by now, lol.

I'm at risk here of being one of those irritating guys who mansplains things which the ladies are all too familiar with.

I'll avoid doing that by just commenting that main TV and magazine advertising campaigns for both sanitary towel and incontinence pad design for many years seems to have focussed on each pad being slimmer and less obtrusive / more comfortable than the last and able to absorb more blue Avatar pee than ever before.

So, if the advertising hype is true then it's totally to be expected that we never see the visual effects...

I too used a mooncup/menstrual cup for over a decade. I still have it, though I haven't needed to use it since 2019. 

More comfortable, better protection, can be worn longer than eight hours without giving you toxic shock, pays for itself within a few months (no need to buy disposable pads/tampons) and better for the environment. 

With a contraceptive coil, I don't bleed at all though. Oddly, I do still have low mood, gastro-intestinal issues and mild cramps so I do have a period of sorts; I just don't bleed.

@Eliminature yeh I’ve heard others say that, the hormone cycle is still the same so you get everything but the bleeding. However I’m super lucky that I don’t get any cramps, mood swings or other issues, just the bleeding. I think some are just lucky and some unlucky with it.
