It is my firm belief that men need to get over their hangups about periods. They're not weird. Over half the world gets them pretty frequently at some point in their life, in fact. So why do guys have to get grossed out every time it comes up? For that matter, why do guys think that the period means there's a week you can't have sex? All it means is there's a week that your girl can't get pregnant! Hardly something to complain about. I recognize I'm a bit of an anomaly as far as these things are concerned (In middle school I carried Midol in my backpack because my female friends would complain about cramps to me), but I think guys really need to step it up. In the interest of making this a more friendly concept, I give you the menstrual cycle, brought to you by I Heart Guts.
Just as a clarification ... sometimes some gals CAN get pregnant during that week. Some ovulate more than once a month and thus foul up that schedule.
ReplyDeleteThat is the reason the technical term for folks whose only contraception method is the 'Rhythm Method' [practicing Catholics, e.g.] is 'parents!' ;-)
