In men's view!

Please refrain from any PMS and 'hormonal women' bashing and silly sexist crap here. I reserve the right not to respond to all today.

I want to know does period put you off? Freak you out a little? Do you buy supplies for your woman? Or you would never attempt a mission like that? Do you struggle to be intimate with a menstruating woman? Just your general thoughts would be nice. Thanks

Well I'm not the male half of the couple. But I know M isn't bothered with it, except for the occasional roll of the eyes when I'm hormonal and being dramatic. But he's helped strip the sheets when a leak has happened overnight without batting an eyelid. He does buy supplies though the first time I told him I needed pads. And he had to ring me from the supermarket saying why is there so many different ones and which did I need.

I’m usually aware of it and try to be supportive but don’t get overly involved shopping for supplies ! I’m 50 and never even knew “cup” was a thing until fab, even after cup and douche I never twigged it was a normal way of handling a period, I assumed a period sex thing only. I just thought women used tampons, towels or period suppressing. pill/injection. Most women I know like sex on periods and I’m fine with it

No reason other than immaturity I believe. Used to be really image conscious so would have worried what people would have thought.

For the men in my past, it was never really discussed.

My lad however seems to know when it’s due “you’ve got a headache and your snappy, time of the month? I’m going to my room to give you space”. He’s not shy about the products either to the point where he’ll say quite loudly in the fruit aisle do we need your plugs or do you have enough, if you need them I’ll go get them

Mr KC has no issues at all, he never has. Nor does my 18yo son (well, when he lived at home). Both would bring me bits from the cupboard if I needed it, go to the shops for stuff, didn't mind seeing my menstrual cup sitting on the sink etc. We're pretty open in this family when it comes to body stuff.

Doesn't bother me in the slightest in any respect, and have had no issues picking up supplies in the past if asked - likewise when it comes to intimacy or anything else really.

To be honest not sure why anyone would have a problem with it, it's after all a perfectly natural part of how a woman's body functions.

That said I also respect that for some women it's quite a private thing that they don't like to be open about - so I tend to take my cues from the individual concerned and how they personally deal with it.

I wouldn’t say it’s enforced, but maybe more talked about as something normal and not to be hidden, it’s a completely natural occurrence. My lad is nosey and asks a lot of questions, which he’ll always get an honest answer about (appropriate for his age) in return.

Maybe it is a generation thing to and how it was treated in your upbringing, it was never talked about in my house. When my dad found out I was using tampons you’d think I was the child seduced by the devil the way he reacted, yet he wasn’t bother by the vodka or cigarettes he also found.

I purposely formed my questions slightly negative. I wanted it to be challenged. I do wonder though how men who feel queasy about it can change it. But maybe they don't need to or want to? I loved feeling supported in every way not laughed at for being hormonal or accused of taking advantage of it.. that happened too.

I bought my first tampons very secretly for the fear of being chastised by my grandparents too.

Yeah women take advantage of the crippling cramps, hormonal mood swings, blood clots, etc.

I guess changing it comes from better understanding and awareness, same as anything really - as I said further up (and this is absolutely not blaming) some women are very private about it, and to a degree it may be a generational thing too, with it being referred to as a "curse" or something "we don't talk about" so it's no surprise that some men may see it that way and shy away from it.

I think these days it's more open and talked about as part of PSHE lessons in school in more detail - so will be interesting to see if future generations of adults are quite so suppressed about it.

Yes I saw that bit and agree. It works both ways. I knew a woman in a marriage of 40 years who wouldn't buy a bra when her husband was nearby and pulled me to a side to dicuss her choices.

I'd hope future generations are more open. My son is fully aware of all these things and looks after his girlfriend when she has her period. Makes up hot water bottles, buys pads etc, he's been to get her Pills and all that sort of thing. It's just like going and getting paracetamol if someone had a headache as far as this household is concerned.

But that attitude of his is due to what he's seen at home, far more than lessons at school, so it will take today's parents to educate their children by setting an example.

I've got an app on my phone so I can track her cycle. When that time arrives I buy her tampons, towels, ibuprofen, paracetamol, wine and a giant fruit and nut bar.

She won't let me near her when she is menstruating though. I'd love to but I respect her........

That's an interesting statement. Most women i know like sex on periods. Of course it's anecdotal. But most women I spoke to don't. I wonder if there are some stats/polls out there.

Well that is some preparation! And great you are so selflessly caring. We all deal with this time differently. I can't even say that all my periods are the same and that I would feel certainly feel aroused or not, just because its on. There are so many other factors affecting our mood..

It's not something you have expected to happen in these circumstances. I wouldn't know too in fairness. Unless she was stripping naked it wouldn't make a difference. And I'm guessing you weren't allowed to touch? Really depends. If she felt the urge to tell you I guess it might altered the experience? I'm confused.

I think we as women need to be more open about it. For years I would just make excuses rather than say I had my period. Now it's full disclosure.

My son was really good with his last gf, I asked once what she was upset about and he said oh she's just got her period, like it was no big deal. I leave my pads out when I've got mine so he's used to things like that.

No you cannot touch, but she didn’t want to take her pants off. I accepted that, as I didn’t want her to be uncomfortable, but was a strange situation to be in - not what I was expecting when I entered the room!

I've been out and bought supplies, done as much as I can to help out, ran baths and just been a lump of meat to shout at or be cried upon if needs be, if I can make it easier then im all for that.

My ex the father of my children is that bad with it. He don't even have his daughter over if she having her period. So some men dislike it.

"It's nature

It doesn't fuss me

I am very relaxed in and around flaps

Buying tampons & wings is fine

My lancing of fanny boils was the stuff of legend amongst my exes friends, earning me the moniker 'Doctor Minge'

You lot think I'm joking about that last bit don't you?

Lancing of fanny boils? No I believe you. But what kind of boils?!

Just the ingrowing hair type

They were very open about these things for some reason "

Ah I get it. Was wondering..

It doesn't freaking me off per se, but I wouldn't like eating it. But if I have to do to prove you that I love you, I won't !

It's ok. I won't go for that far in a search of evidence.

You don’t mess with nature and it’s beauty! I always stepped up the the plate when my ex gf was on her period. Treat her like a queen, get her what she needs, and give her what she needs.

I chuckled a little at the first line. When I was much younger I recall reading an article about embracing your menstruation. It was eye opening to accepting that it is not a horrible embarrassing thing as I was led to believe by environment. And referring referring previous posts on generational change- I truly hope so ! But it's also up to us to influence that.

Is it OK to ask how it makes her feel? Is she aware ?

In short; no, not at all.

I do think that an awful lot of guys, certainly younger guys, have little to no understanding of menstruation and find the whole subject is alien to them. There’s a whole lack of education on the subject and little to no dialogue which only makes it worse. Boys need to know and understand what happens, then there would be far less of the ‘elephant in the room’ every month

On the educational note again, if anyone reads puberty related materials to kids- do you stick to gender specific materials? It's something I'm dealing with currently so would appreciate suggestions.

If that was a recipe for a peaceful retreat for you to deal with it then he did amazing.

Never had a issue with buying products for partners.. happy to be intimate during time of the month. Ultimately if both parties are comfortable I don't see the problem. I know everyone is different but it's just a few days and why let fun stop. I realise for some ladies it's painful and uncomfortable but I know from experience some get super horny. X

I found orgasms to be a good temporary relief for the pain. But I don't experience much of it so I guess that makes me inclined to consider intimacy. Can't imagine doing so feeling rotten. And how heavy is the flow. All things to consider.

I believe there has been a shift in generational norms, especially in the last few years. However, I’m not even sure if menstruation is taught in school?? I think positive advertising is a key in influence and I’ve seen a lot of it recently. Can’t recall off the top of my head the company but I’m sure it’s easy to find.

We discuss both, I think it’s good to have an understanding what each gender may experience and within that explain that each individual is different, so although the cause may be the sane what they experience can be different to their friends.

On materials it’s is discussed at school with both genders present and the first book I bought him a few years ago on puberty, had a couple of pages on females as a starting point.

Most natural thing in the world that every woman has.

I've never been with a lady who wants sex on her period but I don't have a problem helping to get supplies if needed. In my experience though most women tend to buy all their own toiletries.

Mr has no issues shopping, he’ll just phone me and ask what I need. As far as intimacy is concerned, we’ll still have a kiss and a cuddle, but sex is out of the question. Neither of us want sex at that time.

I can’t say that I’ve used any specific materials regarding this but I would definitely make sure that they know all aspects of puberty, not just those that were relevant to them personally.

It’s just an extension of learning about society and people in general. You don’t just teach them about the sections of the world that are directly relevant to them, do you?

Learning about diversity, different dynamics, genders, sexualities, cultures, etc, just breeds acceptance and empathy

I bought my son books about puberty etc that dealt with things for males and females equally, plus addressed some areas around LGBTQ too.

I dont see, why any men would have a problem, with it. Its natural and if that makes them uncomfortable etc, they arent mature enough in the first place. Ive bought tampons before and I was more embarrassed buying lingerie. Although I did need to make a quick call to make sure I got the right ones

I thought it was just me! I won't have any sexual contact at period time, it's a total turn off.

I've never asked a man to buy me period products either. I'm an adult and capable of keeping a stock of what I need.

Loving some of these comments..

I have an amazing Mr who is the most supportive and patient with me, even when my hormones are all over the place, and still wants to have sex with me
