not really. but how did you feel about that?
women talking about their periods. men mentioning their sweaty ballsacks. somebody saying they feel gassy. lol.
are you squeamish about these kinds of topics?
I thought you were warning us, in the event of any angry posts in the near future.
Doesn't make me uncomfortable, but I find talking about such subjects are less than professional.
Do we have to be "professional" here, MD? lol

When I'm on my period I just don't talk to myself.
You and your brother are both homos?
I don't mind talking about exclusively feminine stuff, but depending on the particular subject, I may feel less comfortable talking about it in front of men. But yeah, men talking about their genitalia in front of me would make me uncomfortable.

What gave you that idea?
Last time it happened, he was describing in detail how a friend of his in class almost drowned in his own vomit. My mom wasn't very excited about it.
I thought, "What is she thinking making a thread about that?!" This place is so casual that people mention that in posts and I understand that. But some things are supposed to be private.
OP did.
Back to OP. I don't mind it in private between two people but running around yelling "hey, my cunt is dripping" is somewhat off-putting, not to mention fucked up.
I would say, get a facking tampoo, cunt.
Not much, but I wouldn't think highly of it either.
It makes me laugh when kids talk about it despite people requesting them to stop. My little bro always ups his nasty descriptions when someone gets disgusted with him. He giggles as he gets a rise of them. More often than not he gets his ass handed to him as a result lol.
tbh i'm an adult and i have done this lol. not in mixed company, but with closer people. it can be kind of a testing thing. like if somebody can't man up enough to hear about my period then how could that person be trusted to deal with more disturbing and delicate subjects that might come up? when people are squeamish about it, i'm put off because it makes them seem like a wimpy person. it might not be entirely rational, but thats how i feel about it.
but then my mom went to nursing school and i was brought up with it instilled that body functions are normal and that people should be comfortable around them because its necessary in order to care for people. so its part of my value system that people shouldn't act like these natural things are taboo.
I never thought of it that way. Interesting.
Sometimes it gets out of hand though. One of my cousins likes to fart in the presence of others. In fact he prefers it. He has no shame. He basically does the whole demonstration. From getting your attention, to directing his butt towards you, etc.
I cannot stand him.
I have more of these stories if anyone is interested.
I was going to reply, "Me too," but youre just as much of a smart ass as me, so you winz.
oh. the title explains a lot. =P
anyway, seriously, I'm pretty indifferent to the topic.
Nope. It's a part of life though I suppose among formal company or mostly strangers, it would be pretty strange.
Personally, I really wouldnt care, except to take note for what to filter in and out. Yeah, I said itSue me
pics or it didn't happen.
Lol that image reminds me of my last period, I'm afflicted with something called "Dysfunctional uterine bleeding" which means that sometimes my "flow" becomes a "flood".
and I bleed 3 days worth blood in an hour... this is especially awesome when I'm in public... Why me?
@OP, I don't mind I guess, unless I'm eating. I start to imagine eating the thing being talked about.
You know what's kind of funny? How when people are eating food, it's going to turn into poop. They are eating poop that hasn't been refined yet. 0.o And even as they are eating, their body is turning what they have already eaten into poop, AS THEY EAT. It's kind of gross to think about. And then you hear someone's guts making little noises and it's the noises of poop being sloshed around in the body.
I hope this was educational.
I was opening this thread I was just about to congratulate you on your bravery.
I'm cool with blood although I don't want to trust creatures that bleed for days without dying.

i would find this kind of stuff extremely uncomfortable when when i was an awkward teen but now its talks about banks and paperwork that make me wanna die,so periods and genitalia aaall the waaay! (just don't ask me about my own)
I can enjoy discussing such things, but I won't initiate the conversation unless I'm sure the other person is fine with it and doesn't feel uncomfortable or judge me etc. Talk on a general level, sharing my feelings/past experiences, joking etc are no problem, but when I happen to be on my period I don't usually mention that to anyone unless I have to (if the pain gets intolerable or the pms is making me a jerk) or they specifically ask. It feels unnecessary and many men seem to get a little uncomfortable so I don't want to bother them. There are also some small things that I feel are too personal to share with others comfortably, but I don't mind if others tell similar things to me, it can actually be relieving if something has been bothering me.
I'm not squeamish; I'll say it if I feel really bad though and not just any time. I mostly say it because I want the person to get the hint and give me a hug, tea, kiss, food, sex, whatever.

I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

I think it's funny. Women on their periods is kind of cute too, but they always seem to get mad at me for it.I think it turns me on, as well, to be reminded of their femininity so much.
Why exactly do women seem to be surprised by this? Am I supposed to be grossed out by it?
Some people are open to the human experience.... others, not so much.
I'm one of the former so just about anything human doesn't offend or make me squeamish. I could easily be a surgeon, EMT or mortician as well.
Every part of being human is super cool, IMO.
Doesn't bother me, and I do it sometimes as well. Back in my first year of college when I had eight roommates sharing one bathroom, the topic was almost inevitable, and bitching about our periods became a kind of bonding exercise.
I'm not on my period, but I missed my birth control dose last night 'cause my stupid phone was in silent mode.

Women on periods can be cute emotional sensitive & real creatures.

Cross out the cute part.Women on periods can be cute emotional sensitive & real creatures.
Nah, I find oversensitivity to minor mishaps to be quite endearing.

No - I've explored enough bodies to know what it's all about. No big deal.
