Gentlemen: A woman's "Time of the Month"?

[3113]

How do you view it? How do you handle it? Do you even want to think about it?

Just curious.

Ladies...if you would help the poll along by asking any gentlemen in your life for their opinion? That is...if they're willing to talk about it

 

[Belegon]

In what way?

Sexually? just means extra clean up or preparation...

Hormonally? Am I safe answering? One thing I have always despised is that a woman will blame her mood on that time of the month and then jump all over a guy for suggesting the same thing...however, the guy side of that is that you can't be using it as a crutch or making it a joke...

if you say, "Is it that time of the month?" it better be a serious question and not an "attitude" comment...

How do you view it?
RF: As a natural body function

How do you handle it?
RF: As a natural body function - note: back in the pre-home pregnancy test days, whether or not it occured could carry much more significance.

Do you even want to think about it?
RF: Now days, no more than other natural body functions

ps: B-man, the male equivelant to PMS is SRS (semen retention syndrom) rf

The way some guys react to it continuously amuses me.

Most here are more enlightened, though.

 

[rgraham666]

All I know about it is that at the beginning of my relationship with my ex-wife she kept track of her cycle.

At the end of it, I did.

 

[3113]

Damn! I hadn't even finished the poll when you guys jumped on the bandwagon! You boys go right on back up to the top and vote....!

 

[3113]

Hormonally? Am I safe answering?

Nope. Never. There are only two correct and safe answers when the woman you love is hormonal:
"You look pretty."
"Yes, dear."

Now, now. Some of us enlightened women are well aware that our foul mood is due to hormones and are willing to admit it--even warn the guy upfront.

I normally am at least smart enough to have an apology ready and admit that I fucked up. I'm just not always smart enough to stop myself BEFORE I fuck up. Of course, that applies all the time, not just at hormonal times; especially the "not always smart enough" part.

Now, now. Some of us enlightened women are well aware that our foul mood is due to hormones and are willing to admit it--even warn the guy upfront.

ummm, I kinda meant "a" woman to be like a "sometimes, some women" thing, rather then a blanket statement. Whoops, I could have worded that a bit better.

I'm sorry.
I fucked up.

 

[BlackSnake]

Sorry, just a natural part of life that I don't have a clue about, other than the obvious of course...

 

[Quiet_Cool]

*ahem*

Just tell me before I go down.

Period.

Exclamation point.

I am three days away from no sex for a week.

MY S/O is not enlightened.

Whoa! Whoa! Was there some girl who didn't warn you that....?



Never mind. I don't want to know.

QC, I see you so rarely, and yet every time you make me grin.

It's good to see you.

Have you tried it in the shower? Not a bad solution for fastidious individuals.

And I don't want to tell you.

But I've been very appreciative of those who have.

Good to see you, too, Shang. I've been... shall we call it busy? Or should I simply admit I've been drinking too much?

Nice to see you smiling (or cyber-smiling).

Just no - nada - period.

Many suggestions have been made - seems he had some kind of a "traumatic" experience as a teen - saw someone with redwings at a party..
These things stay with you apparently.

Sometimes I would like to yell at him - "Get OVER is already". Hell - if I'd let traumatic experiences ruin my sex life I'd be a nun, for chrissakes.

I should tell him about my traumatic experiences with fellation - that would fix him..

I just answered your survey, "Other." At the risk of squicking everyone, I love to go down on a woman when she's having her period. But few women I've known want anything to do with sex during that time :-(

I DO I DO!!!

 

[Liar]

That "Big whoop" option said it all.

It's a thing. It's not scarier than flatulence. It's not more mystical either. Blood magic my ass.

And if you love someone, nothing about them is very icky at all.

Hey Babygrrl. Where are you? I'm calling your bluff! If you mean that, my private contact info is in my profile...

 

[HungryGuy]

I totally agree with that, Liar! (even if you don't love them, but just lust them, nothing is icky either, IMHO...)

I'm not licking it anyway, just for the record.

Personally, I think that women should be more understanding of men's mystification of the potentially massive hormonal swings.

if you say, "Is it that time of the month?" it better be a serious question and not an "attitude" comment...

The only reason I take offense to this question is because I never use it as an excuse for my moods. I'm perfectly aware of the fact that I tend to be more emotional and less capable of controlling my reactions while I'm mensing. Being aware of it makes me try all the harder to keep myself from emoting all over the people around me. I see no reason why society at large should suffer just because my biology is functioning properly.

*ahem*

Q_C

On the one hand this is quite funny and on the other...
It's from women like this that the term "bitch slap" originates.
es Q_C for being subjected to someone so increibly inconsiderate.

Simple answer to why this is so, Mr. Nibbles. Women have been trained by society, just as men have been, that menstration is unclean and shameful. I realize that some haven't been or some have managed to get past the early training but most can't. Don't hold it against them.

I'm not particularly keen on the idea of doing stuff at that time of the month, but then again, I've not had a partner who was remotely interested in anything at that time of the month. If my partner wanted sex, then I'd probably work out my issues.

I'm much more of the "bring chocolate biscuits, hot water bottles and hugs if she wants them" crowd really.
