general ickyness

Ugh. This is a depreciation post.
I really depreciate the cramps I have right now. But I'm used to those. What I REALLY depreciate is knowing my cycle is almost always exactly 28 days, meaning I SHOULDN'T be due until monday, but having the aching (literally) feeling that it's coming tomorrow. Tomorrow being the first day in 2 weeks I'll see my boyfriend, and the last day I can see him for another 2 weeks.

And how many of us are really actually comfortable sexing whilst on the rag?

I love my period. I love what it represents. I respect the natural process of my body. But I hate this part.

So, I don't know, depreciate your own common period woes. Or, if you know magic, tell me how to stop my period for just 24 hours.

This is the only reason I'd ever even consider going back on birth control. As un-femme as it may be, sometimes I really just want to make the decisions for my uterus. Agree/disagree?

Also depreciate the nasty side effects of cramps. See: diarrhea. That's right. I said it. Girls poop.

I have no problem having sex or fooling around while having my period... my boyfriend on the other hand is another story.

From just a med* standpoint, orgasm can help relieve cramps. So sex + period (can) = Good Things. However, they also encourage the period to start, and since you want to delay it, it could = "Bad" Things instead :/

From a personal one, I'm lucky my submissive (in the BDSM sense) husband has a blood fetish :P

(*Disclaimer: Nope, not a doctor, nor a nurse, nor taken any medical classes beyond the required health in school years ago. This is just stuff I've read/experienced.)

I used to mind (mostly because I thought guys didn't like it), but then my current boyfriend convinced me that he was really okay with it, arguing that it was "just another body fluid."

I won't allow oral sex, though, and if there's a lot of blood, I make him divert his eyes when I clean it up :)

Agree except with me it rebels and makes me depressed, yeast infection-y and very unaroused. So I have no choice :P

i'm the same way, i like to think that i'm ok with my period and not ashamed of it or anything, but for fucks sake, it just feels horrible to look down and see blood all over your sig other's crotch...it's just...not sexy. bleh.

i always get so angry with my body when i see that. like "can't you just hold off for 20 minutes so i can have some peaceful booty?" lol...

I love sex on my period- I get so horney. Back in the days when I actually had a boifriend, I used to tackle him, pin him, strip him and boink him senseless. Yup yup. I am at my finest when I am bleeding- after the evil cramping part goes away, of course.

The rest of your post I can absolutly relate to.

I honestly don't like sex during my period. My period is heavy and thick and I'd be worried the whole time about making a mess instead of enjoying sex. And as long as I've had my period, I just don't ever get used to the oogieness and the stomach problems like you mentioned. I totally agree with you.

The first day or so of my period I don't want anyone to touch me anywhere. But after that- look out! I'm randier than a mug.

My fiance and I both only really feel comfortable with shower sex when I'm on my period. It just makes it easier as far as clean ups and you don't really notice the blood as much. Really I think we are mainly concerned with staining sheets/towels/comforter/mattress.. whatever is below us.

i actually get hornier when i'm on my period sometimes. *shrug*

Sex on your period

Sure, absolutely and it's the same with all of my partners .. None of us give a damn :D

Why is being on birth control un-femme? I wouldn't even have a period if I didn't take birth control pills and might go infertile if I stop.

I've always felt it was really unnatural to stop ovulation hormonally. To halt a natural process of my body, one that was characteristic solely of my gender, just so guys didn't have to worry about condoms kind of pissed me off. Hence why I'm off it. It's a personal thing, and a lot of my friends are of the same mindset.
Of course there are medical reasons for birth control, but I was speaking more from my individual experience with it.
