Period

Ok,

this is a post that is out of the ordinary. I was talking to someone today and three women have thought that i should know about there menstrual cycles and periods and ugghhhh that stuff is just sicko! I mean the word period used in that term just freaks me out beyond repair! I was tortured as a teen with tampons and maxipads(which i am deathly afriad of). I was about 15 or 16ish and my 4 female cousins decided to put over 48 maxi pads on my favorite couch and on my bed(unused still in the wrapper) becuase they knew my hatred for the pad! Sigh...is this a common thing nowadays to say geez im having a shiity day... I am on my period? PUKE!!!
I had a gf once and she needed me to go to the store for those things, and i paid a kid 20 bucks to go into the store and buy them and quad wrap them in plastic and then put it in a paper bag!

This is no laughing matter...so then CAP comes in and tells me that periods arent as bad as they seem and you just have to go and get the tampon thingys and its part of being a good man. Well i know that im a good man, but i cant do the tampon thingy.

I
I can do everything in the world but touch a tampon or think about blood gushing like niagra falls from a woman. I am however open to the biology of the period if someone has some insight. Please help me with my fear and yes laugh if you must. I have been laughed at all day

I am going to make you soooo sorry for writing about periods.. hahahaha

Okay!!! The blood clots are the WORST!! They're like... red..jello..you'll never eat that shit again!! Dark, cranberry colour.. and if you think that's bad..imagine THAT plopping out like niagra.

Oh my dear. Like Holli said..you'll have to get over it. All my bf's in the past have been very cool about it. And I have been lucky I think..so far. My step dad, used to ALWAYS buy them for me. "Rudi..i need tampons.."
he'd say, "okay..what are they again..."
"green package..Tampax Tampon SUPERS" (for heavy flows..)

He would get them for me NO PROBLEM. You sound like a good man, so I will assume that you will get over your fear when you find the right crampy woman. Because dude..we allllllll get 'em..and every month..sometimes more. So buck up and buy some fuckin' tampons baby!! It'll be therapeutic. OH! And read the instructions..there's pictures and everything!!!!!

Gotta love it,
Haley

Okay - I feel bad.. apparently my comment came across as rude and I was just being silly.

Even Poppy would tell you, you can start out in life in a family full of men (he has two brothers.. one is his twin). But then all of a sudden, you get married (there's one female), have two daughters (add two more females), they each have daughters.. all female dogs (minus poor Nate - who probably doesn't count anymore because, well.. you know) and then BOOM! You are surrounded.

You could have three women going nuts on you with hormones, and trust me - you will go to the store and buy the little box just to get the hell away from them.

My dad claims he could have bought a house just with the money he's spent over the years on toilet paper and tampons for all the women in our family.

Oh well.. whatcha gonna do???

And buster, you better not be comparing my fear of spiders to your thing with the word period.. because you will be in big trouble. There is a HUGE difference!!! Periods don't have fangs, crawl in your mouth while you sleep, bite you, make your skin fall off, have a gazillion eyeballs... My GAWD!!!!

I can give you scientific about the period....whaddya wanna know??

There are men out there that are turned on by periods....they choose to do things with women during their periods, so just know that it can be much, much worse. (=

I was raised by my dad and he wouldn't buy any feminine products for me, just sent me into the store to buy them myself. Mortification when your 12 years old!!

yeah, when you're a man buying stuff in the middle of the night - the guy at 7-11 pretty much knows it isn't for you, he just knows you have a female in your life. when it's a woman buying stuff in the middle of the night - it's still embarrassing.. even if you do add on a bag of chips. :)

OMG I am sorry but I did laugh! Then I come here and read all the good advice about periods and bleeding and blood clots and well.. I laughed again. Thanks you all I needed that =)

Periods aren't fun, but hey what can you do? As a woman you deal with it. As a man who is with a woman who is dealing with it, well you just .. deal with it! LOL I cannot say I have ever sent my husband to the store to buy them. He knows when I am 'raggin it' and I know (aside from the obvious) because he doesn't come near me sexually .. so there ya have it!

I promise, once you find the right one and settle down it will not sick you out as much.

I have to say this was the best post! I have to agree tho, with all you see, do and go thru in Iraq...this is NOTHING! Remember too you love kids. In order to end up w/em a woman has to be able have these cycles too. I'll let you in on a secret...we don't like dealing with em either, but we don't get a choice.

And I'll leave you with this story: The day Devin got his license, he wanted an excuse to leave the house for the 1st time driving alone. I told him to go get me tampons and pads at the store plz. He jumped on it! Now the next yr, Shane refused. He paid Devin to do it LOL! Kinda like you ;)

Hey! About this mystery woman you're falling for...would you go to the store for her? They come in a box? something to think about...hmmm

praying for a good safe day for u. add I tried to add you in yahoo but it refused me :( mamaseashel@yahoo.com
