So I’m just wondering about how others feel about this subject. Just haven’t seen it talked about much. Considering it’s something that can put some women out of action for up to a week a month (some longer, some not at all), I’m interested in how others deal with it.
Just for example, was chatting to a guy for months a while back. We had 2 social meets and eventually arranged to hook up. The morning of the meet, my period arrived a few days early so I cancelled. He was deeply deeply uncomfortable that I had mentioned it “oh god no details please” or something to that effect. We never did meet again.
Is it something that most people don’t want discussed? Are other women more discreet about it? Are most men horrified or don’t care? Do other women plan meets better around their cycle?
I’ve seen polarised opinions so just wondering what others think. |

We have been in the same situation that Mother Nature came a few days earlier then expected. Was bit frustrated and maybe bit embarrassed to cancel but the others fully understood and we scheduled it for a week later. 
Mr isn’t a fan of the Red Sea, so prefers to have a meet postponed for another day then getting a potential red dipstick and mouth 
It always requires a bit of planning and counting the days on the calendar, but it is something natural and no-one should take offence when it does come early. |

Completely different when in a long term relationship to just having a meet.
As a young man in my 20's periods meant my gf wasn't pregnant and also gave us a few days of unprotected sex
When married my wife would be horny during her period for some reason and loved receiving oral sex
So Tampon in and an orgasm helped eased her pains
It's part of being a woman so why not discuss it |

I've spent the past 2 years perimenopausal with an incredibly unpredictable cycle. We had to cancel a couple of meets when my period arrived unexpectedly. We were straight with the guys about what happened, and both were understanding and not icky about it. One said it didn't bother him although, whilst I'm comfortable with period sex with my own partner, it's not something I'd want on a meet with someone else |

"Jaysos if a man can't handle the period topic nowadays he can creep back in his cave. "
Exactly, we've had to cancel a meet due to an unexpected period, the guy understood totally and we rescheduled for the following week.
Christ we're all meant to be adults here |

Women get periods. Always have, always will. Surely everyone understands that. It really annoys me that anyone would think they are icky or dirty. As for the your man I don’t know what he thought you were going to divulge in terms of details!!
I do wonder whether some men think periods are used as an excuse to pull out of a meet at the last minute? Equally do many ladies use it as a handy unquestionable excuse? |

I just think its part of being a woman, if she wants you on her period. Its not even a question for me. |

Periods are a natural bodily function so I have no idea why people get so squeamish about them. My periods are horrendous so I wouldnt have a meet. Hot water bottle and chocolate and crisps are gratefully received though |

Not a fan of sex during someone period to be honest.
But I didnt think it was a taboo subject to talk about still. My team in work is majority females and they aren't shy about talking about it in front of the men. |

I had a ex who would refer to it as "are you on your blob"
Couldn't bring himself to say period, if he annoyed me would say ",Are you due for the blob"
I suffered terribly with my periods for years vomiting cramps fainting. I overheard him onetime telling a family member when I was in bed feeling like crap. It's only her time of month I think she plays on it

Was he an old age pensioner?? Hahaha
Talking about it is never a problem. I'm sure it's not a problem if you were born post 1970. Having sex while someone is on a period. I would have no issues if it was someone you cared for or knew quite well. |

To slightly digress for a moment!
Can some lady please explain to Kaizer why certain females on this earth refer to the height of their menstrual cycle as "Friends"?
"Any chance of some loving baby?"
"Not today, I have my friends!"
"What?"  |

Is it something that most people don’t want discussed? I think most adults will discuss it openly
Are other women more discreet about it? Some are /some aren’t.
Are most men horrified or don’t care?
Personally doesn’t bother me-
Do other women plan meets better around their cycle? Well I had a meet cancelled recently about it , no problem, we will re arrange again
The guy sounds like a complete F@ckwit -lucky escape OP. |

I think its also a big problem to women. They are shy to talk about it. It is our natural cycle.
I understand being shy and wont talk about some topics in public but 1 to 1 or in a small group of same gender it should be okay.
Sometimes making jokes helps
I have witnessed yesterday two young couples were very shy to decide which condoms will be the best.
Maybe it is also treated as taboo because parents never discussed it with their children?
I think we should talk with our kids and remind them about safe sex.
Sorry for changing the topic a little but there are many things not only period which is a taboo not only for men but women too

Oh FWIW, I’m not upset at all about him being weirded out, it’s entirely his loss and he is in the minority. It doesn’t bother me and I’ve not seen or spoken to him since.
I just put up the anecdote for clarity and discussion, not sympathy.  |

Is say most people who are fairly open about sex and sexual matters wouldn’t find it in the least strange or offensive to talk about it.
Some men may not want to have sex while a woman is on her period and some will love it and some won’t mind. It’s never been an issue for me as long as the woman is happy to do it
Again, you’ll always get a wide range in opinions and feelings about all topics and should do and feel what you want to |

No bother talking about it , no bother having during it either , most women i know are actualy hornier during it , its a fact of life , nothing that dosnt wash off either

I used to love sex with my GF for years, regardless of period or not. Then something changed in me. I'm not sure if it was being present at the birth of our children, or maybe seeing lots of blood in the course of my job. But, i couldn't stand the smell of blood. I've spoken to a few guys, and their experience of attending the birth of their children changed their attitude to blood. It put them off period sex. I've got over my reaction to the smell of blood now, but I had the support of a few women who introduced me to their menstrual blood in lots of different ways that didn't make me run away,... like face painting me with their blood. Great therapy! |

It's definitely something that makes some people uncomfortable, men and women alike.
Personally I like sex all the time, and if I'm comfortable and he's comfortable then game on. If he's not that's OK too and we do other things or wait. I wouldn't schedule meets during that time anyways unless it's a regular thing. |

Definitely doesn't put me off. Often a girl is even more horny than normal and what red blooded guy would want to miss the opportunity of fab fun with an ultra randy girl. Just shower together first (or even start with a fuck in the shower) and a towel on the bed if mid flow  |

Of course it's such a natural thing and should be embraced by all men as such
When so many women seem to suffer to varying degrees with their periods, does the pill not more or less stop periods?
As a man I never really understood why women would put themselves through the discomfort each month when a tablet exists.
Same as pregnancy i suppose, wouldn't be too many of us if it was men that had babies |

it depends on which contraceptive the woman is on and not every contraceptive can be used. Some women like myself are hormone sensitive so can only use certain ones so I have to put myself through the discomfort whether i like it or not |

I have no problem talking about, some women feel uncomfortable talk to guys about it.
I don't mind have sex with a women when it's that time of the month. Some women find it makes them even hornyier. |

About 10yrs ago had been chatting with a couple up in Ballymena area for a while and we finally arranged to meet up at their when I was over on business in Derry area.
On morning of our meet she messaged me to say her period arrived early and she had to cancel and she felt so embarrassed about it...
I told her not be silly as it was only nature and said still happy to meet up for a chat etc....She couldnt believe I would still meet and we ended up having a nice night with a takeaway & few drimks.... |

I have no hassle discussing periods or sex during periods. I wouldnt be a fan of giving oral during a period, but might chance it once if I knew the lady well (and obviously her HIV status). |

Shouldn't be anything any woman should be embrassed about or a guy should feel uncomfortable chatting about. To be honest I would still have met socially, with the hopes of meeting again afterwards. |

I'm never shy to talk about. This is normal bodily functioning for a woman. Men who have a problem with it in my opinion are not normal. Next please!
I have in times gone by delayed my period for an event or if I have something special planned but a casual fuck from fab is doesn't come near that realm!  |

Really does say more about him that.
I don't have an issue discussing it or telling someone It's not a good time because of it. Personally, I don't enjoy sex on my period. I tend to feel less confident etc so I just don't bother anymore. |

Embrace your body,every woman has a different anatomy when it come to periods,from one end of the severe pain spectrum to the other,Of course it should be discussed more.Educate the uneducated and instill a sense of empathy at a young age |

Okay he's a bit soft, you may have dodged a bullet. Possibly one of the many that complained about that as a while back.
It's not a big deal for me personally. It's something every woman goes through
Though I would hate if men had a period, and I'm for sure grateful we don't lol |
