Last night, while randomly clicking links in people’s blogrolls (ah, sloth), I chanced upon two separate blogs that were eerily similar. Part of me wonders if they’re actually written by the same person, though that seems weird. They both use the same ugly default Blogger template, they’re both written by 40-something married men writing about their sex lives, and they both had a post near the top of the page about “we can’t have sex this week because my wife has her period, waaahh.”
I just had to shake my head… this all goes back to what I was saying in the sex-positive post about people being in a state of arrested sexual development circa age 14. You’re a goddamn grown man and you can’t handle period sex? Well, Jesus Tampon-Licking Christ. Cry me a river, build me a bridge, and fucking get over it.

Yeah. Put a towel down and grow a set.
Or be happy you’re saving the lube for the following week…
Well, it may have been the wife? I’ve never known a many who couldn’t handle it. Almost always women, to whom I always say: orgasms are the best med for cramps.
Even told my son’s gf this and blogranted about why they don’t teach these things in sex ed classes. har har!
my son’s used to me. his gf is getting used to me. :)
That’s a good point. You’re right, it may have been the wife. But the way both posts were worded made it sound like it was the husband who had an ick problem. The URLs are in the browser history of my home computer, and I wouldn’t be able to go to them from work anyway, otherwise I’d find the links to provide.
Because that would make all the teenage girls instantly run out and have sex!!1!
I want to have your babies, Amber.
I can’t quite tell what position you’re insinuating here.
Is it …?
1. Men should be able to handle having sex during their partner’s period.
2. Men should not expect to have sex during their partner’s period under most circumstances?
You “can’t quite tell” what I’m insinuating? Give me a break. How much clearer do I have to be? I said “Jesus Tampon-Licking Christ,” fer fuck’s sake.
Obviously, it’s #1.
… amen, amen… red wings are nothing to be ashamed of…
Well, I have no more idea of what you mean by “Jesus Tampon-Licking Christ.”
And, I agree with you. It seems like an incredibly absurd position to whine that you can’t have sex during your SO’s period when you are the one that refuses to have it, as if it’s somehow women’s fault or something to be ashamed about.
I will cherish that phrase of yours simply forever!

Here’s where this borders into the comfort zone violation potentials.
Some of us guys as opposed to the mundane mensesphobic masses are actually quite seriously menstrophiles. that’s to bluntly put it- lovers of everything connected to menstruation. Explanation given so those not as well-literate as you, dear hostess. will not need it explained.
Where this is topical to your commentary re:sexuality and menstruation- some of us guys not only will cherish and hold in a sacred place of all things eternally memorable the sexual entanglements with menstruation.
To leave something to OneUp the poster commenting on wanting to have your baby…
I’d be more honored to have your period for you.

“What, you mean you’ve never had a guy wish he could have your cramps for you?”
Hi, my name’s Dave Foley, and, uh, something you might not know about me is that… I have a good attitude towards menstruation. That’s right, I’m the guy! The guy with a good attitude towards menstruation!
Oh, I know a lot of men are made uncomfortable by this monthly miracle. But not me. No, I embrace it. Embrace it the way the way some men embrace the weekend! Why I anticipate it the way a child anticipates Christmas!
Did you know that, uh, in alot of native Indian cultures, menstruating woman were forced to leave the village, less their powerful magic should overwhelm the Shaman? If I were Shaman, I wouldn’t be so competitive. I’d be more open and giving. I’d be a shaman with… a good attitude towards menstruation!
‘Cause after all, what is it? a cluster of blood vessels, awaiting a fertilized egg. Providing a safe warm place for that egg to grow. And if a life does not occur, the whole thing is flushed away, and the cycle begins again. Now is that anything to be ashamed of or disgusted by? No, this is the nesting stuff of humanity!
That’s why the woman I shall love will be able to menstruate as fully and freely as she desires. Even if her monthly flow should build in intensity to a raging rust colored torrent! An unbridled river of life giving blood flowing from between her legs! An awesome cataract plunging off the edge of our couch. I wouldn’t be fazed! No, no, even if coureur de bois would come up stream, battling the rapids, and singing a jaunty song I would take no offense, rather I would ford across that mighty womanly river, and fetch herbal tea and Pamprin. And then I would mop her brow and admire her fecundity.
For I Have A Good Attitude Towards Menstruation!
I thought about it… and guess what I remembered; even I, a cock-loving, dick worshipping homo-fagatron had sex with a girl when she was on her period… If it didn’t gross me out, ANYONE should be fine.
People need to grow up.
