Guys, how do you feel when women talk about their periods?

Question

Like how do you feel? Disgusted?

BullShark · Accepted Answer

Why would I feel disgusted? It's a natural process of the body so on the other hand, I kind of sympathize with girls having to experience pain like that and the fact that they bleed for a month non-stop.

It still amazes me how in some countries the idea of women and girls being on their period or just the topic of periods or anything sexual in nature for that matter is considered a major taboo topic. What REALLY disgusts me is how the government chooses to put sales taxes on period items.

I'm intrigued by the science and psychology of it. I like listening to women share their experiences especially from the beginning (their first period) vs. Today.
Through listening to these discussions I've learned how to help make it easier for my female friends and SO's. I used to carry a period kit in my car just for them just in case.

glennos89 · Answer

Not disgusted at all. The way I look at a womans period is that it is a natural occurring thing and I'm not disgusted by it at all!

In the past I always tried to ask permission to pull out her dirty tampon when it needed to be replaced. Ofcourse I always received the same "NO" back as answer but I'm just curious what it looks like but I'm not disgusted by it and a woman should absolutely not have to feel dirty, disgusted or ashamed about it when she is with me.

Ofcourse I understand it's not something that woman wanne show to man because it isn't how you wanne present yourself to a man but it's part of your femininity so I don't have any negative thoughts or feelings when thinking of a woman's period🤷🏼‍♂️

Graci_e · Answer

Any man who feels disgusted about periods needs to grow the fuck up. This is a shitty thing that girls and women go through monthly. It’s not gross, it’s normal and an important bodily function. It’s necessary to create life. Guys who find periods gross are so unattractive.

So if they wanna be friends with girls, date girls and have kids with girls: they better suck it up and listen. And if she’s your girlfriend, you better spoil the shit out of her.

fatguy29 · Answer

I have no problem with it at all! I actually feel like it's rude to be disgusted by such an integral part of someone's life, if a woman is willing to share I'm willing to listen. I feel like shutting it down and saying it's gross is like saying "you're gross" because it's not like a woman can just shut off her menstrual cycle.

On the flip side though, I'm certainly never going to be one to ask or initiate conversations about someone's period! But if you want to bring it up and discuss hey I'm all ears I respect all parts of all people not just the "non-gross" parts

Well it isn’t like we don’t know that women have periods. I do understand there are practical reasons to bring this up at times i. e. when a guy wants to have sex or she is having cramps. Also a caring husband or boyfriend might buy her tampoons if she can’t make it to the store.

But any more detail really isn’t necessary. It’s like when men get kicked in groin or we have uncomfortable “morning wood”. There might be a practical reason to bring it up but we just don’t talk about it for the hell of it. It’s either painful and/or embarrassing (trying to urinate when you have an involuntary erection is a pain in the ass)

WilliamPamer446 · Answer

I usually feel alright but I may feel a little weird or uncomfortable but I will still try to be tolerant because its normal and they need someone they can joke around with or talk about them with so they feel comfy and get through it easier, so I try to jus normalize it

LarsUlrich33 · Answer

Say it is just a random female, that could be awkward. But, obviously, as a guy, I will never experience a period. But, I have studied the human body and know (well, as much as I can) how the body works. So, say when my wife talks about it, I listen, give my opinion (if it's needed) and we move on. I mean, it is totally a natural thing, nothing to be afraid of. I've had ex partners, we would have sex while they were having their period, no oral sex, of course. Yeah. It was kinda messy, but we have soap and water, washes right off, put a towel down, throw it in the washing machine. Done. And please, I apologize to anyone that read this and became nauseous, just sharing my opinion and experience.

Ευδεμονια · Answer

I think sincerely it’s pretty normal. It’s a natural matter that occurs around once a month, it’s natural like the high tide, the snow during winter, the sun rising and setting, so there’s nothing shocking talking about it.
It involves blood so maybe blood sensible persons can be impressed but this doesn’t mean they have to be disgusted.
People that are disgusted by that are priests or people living in Middle Age.

NathanDavis · Answer

nope... quite normal

lived with my girlfriends... been best friends mostly with girls and women for the last 20 years so, it would be quite immature and stupid of me to feel grossed out at this point

it is just a natural thing, and I'm a grown up as well

AviatorTom · Answer

I feel informed. If women hadn't told me about periods, I would have been totally clueless about them, and would not have realized that they're perfectly normal.

It was very interesting to learn that women in a group, say working together in an office, synchronize their periods over time so that they all ovulate and menstruate at the same time. It's evidently nature's way of ensuring the best offspring via competition.

FilmGuy93 · Answer

I basically don't care. I kinda can't relate to having a period though. So it's tough for me to contribute to the conversation. It's like when you hang out with two friends who have known each other for a long time and all they talk about is memories they have from before they met you.

woman_2004 · Answer

I rather talk to women about my periods than men 😂 they won’t understand even if they tried … 🩸🩸🩸

peedy · Answer

I feel like having a drink and not listening to her because I can't relate to whatever she is saying and she won't respect any input I may say so I return the question back to you, why do women talk or want to talk to men about that
Best thing I found is to leave go play golf work on the car in the garage just avoid her till its done than come back in the house and act like nothing happened

Adam1978 · Answer

It's not really a subject I need much information in. So keep it short and to the point. If it's a health thing, go to the doctor and have the discussion. Because I can't give you any advice in something I have no experience in.

ZackBan · Answer

Considering I have dipped my sword in the forbidden crimson on 2 occasions with 2 different partners I don't particularly feel weird talking about it.

That being said I don't particularly like period sex to be honest

Whatever2929292 · Answer

Depends on my rapport with her. Close friend or significant other? Not a big deal. They can tell me anything and I can do the same... But some people who don't know you well really get into their personal business you don't want to hear.

Man-O-Metal · Answer

Nothing disgusts me. I can talk about anything concerning bodily functions. I'm just that way where it doesn't bother me. I won't go out of my way to learn all the details by myself. But if a girl wants to talk about it I'm happy to listen.

MrHopper · Answer

I had my "stag" do last weekend but chose to have it with all female friends, we spent a good part talking about periods, breast feeding, kids... :D... it was fine, its just a natural part of the world

crossdressingrihno · Answer

Depending on who it is I might sympathize with their situation or I might not care at all. Unless you're one of the select few that I have a grudge with then I will wish you the strongest period cramps of all time.

FictionalCharacter · Answer

I’ve talked to a couple guys about my period and they didn’t really care. They were more concerned and curious of what I was going through Which is nice.

TimCactus · Answer

As a guy from a guy's perspective, males don't have to deal with their genitals bleeding once a month or the cramps and other side effects that come along with it. If a woman [particularly a friend] wanted to talk to me about her period I'll listen. It's a conversation I believe to be of privacy & trust.

TheMajesticKing777 · Answer

It doesn't effect me at all, every girl I've talked too always mentioned it without a problem tho, I don't think women are shameful to mention their period or at least not to me

Anonymous · Answer

I don’t mind hearing my wife talk about her period at all and I’m not disgusted by it I even have sex with her on her period (I won’t go down on her though when she’s on her period). I also even remove tampons from her vagina so I am not grossed out by it in the slightest bit.

20yearsolder · Answer

I'm a grown ass man, I can handle it. If you ever want to talk about your period send me a private message. It doesn't affect me or offend me at all

Zeus_66 · Answer

I'm not a fan of it, but hey. I'm sure she's not a fan of going through a rough or heavy one herself.  All apart of nature and a marriage. In the end, not really a biggie if it is discussed.

MTC29 · Answer

If my SO brings it up, I will feign interest, just as I do with the other humdrum subjects she drones on about.

lightbulb27 · Answer

used to be creeped, but not anymore, just normal. not much different than guys talking about their nose bleeds or puss under their wounds.

Lionman95 · Answer

awkward because it´s nothing I consider really interesting and I neither can join the conversation so I don´t listen either.

Sixgunsound · Answer

It happens it’s part of life. Of four people in the house I’m the only one who will never have a period.

Panzer21 · Answer

Aslong as blood doesn't get in my mouth, nothing about periods really gross me out. Me and my best friend have had indepth conversations about shitting. Period conversations dont phase me.

nisnaia · Answer

Not disgusted at all haha. I'm fine with them talking about it around me. It's part of them. And if they have their period it means they're not pregnant so that can be a win.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Hey, I lived with a Mother and Sister who had periods so I'm an understanding guy.

dragoblack · Answer

Like its just venting. Honestly it's just natural and people need to stop getting a stick up their butt because something is slightly uncomfortable to listen to. World doesn't revolve around you people and it isn't your personal world with NPCs

XXblack88 · Answer

I don't talk about my period with men. But if I tell you I'm on my period it's basically a warning to stay out of my way.

MikeInHawaii · Answer

I once had a coworker show up at work, throw the door open and shout “I have PMS! Everyone leave me alone!!!” I appreciated the warning!

DryGermanGuy · Answer

To me it sounds like I am listening to a medical science experiment... as I simply cannot relate.

DonkeyDan · Answer

Really doesn't bother me, I work in healthcare so it's no big deal.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

Nothing really, it’s just part of life. Not sure why it would be disgusting.

boggboss · Answer

Just another thing to talk about why would it be disgusting

BarryLiverstone · Answer

Sometimes I feel curious because us guys don’t get them. But also want to know if I can help. Have learned from exes things can be done to help. What about the period did you discuss?

RavVid · Answer

I do look for an escape route to be honest cause I feel excluded :)

Nishant_kr · Answer

Disgusted? No way. Why would I feel disgusted? Periods are completely normal and natural. And if any woman talks to me about her period I'd listen to her attentively and buy her medicine, chocolates or sanitary products if she needs.

TadCurious · Answer

I don't feel disgusted. It's just a normal part of life.

Aakash_Hangargi · Answer

No affect on Me lol one gal did show me her pad lol i was just wondering i think it was very red in color than usual blood

Jamie05rhs · Answer

I don't mind. I'd rather know than not know. I'd hate to be caught off guard and attacked from the blindside with no warning.

Anonymous · Answer

girls never talk to me about this ever , i can barely recall it ever happening

Caliguy88 · Answer

I’d probably rather not hear it, but doesn’t really bother me. I certainly don’t really want to know any details. Lol

whiskeyontherocks · Answer

I was in sports medicine a long time ago so she actually asks me questions sometimes  Or talks to me like I’m her doctor lol Doesn’t effect me

Emerson28 · Answer

Its normal so I don't feel bad especially if its with someone I love and truly care about.

Surely · Answer

She isn’t pregnant! I like to learn new things about almost anything. I find it interesting to learn about something that I don’t know about.

Headstrongcrazylover · Answer

If you want me to treat you like my princess daughter just tell you are on periods, I would take care of you but I don't discuss about it in detail it grosses me out.

Anonymous · Answer

I don't care, as long as they're the ones who get insanely fucking horny during their periods and NEED sex! If you're not one of those women, I don't give a shit.

AdithyaR · Answer

Doesn't bother me. It's a normal part of their body so why would I be disgusted?

Snakeyes7 · Answer

More like lost. It's something I can't relate to. It's like if you talked to your grandma about getting level 48 on [insert MMORPG here].

PatriceONeal · Answer

It's always disgusting.. it may be natural but so is taking a shit and I don't always feel the need to describe those in detail.

prosmind · Answer

It's perfectly OK because periods are natural and uncontrollable though most of the girls avoid talking about it.

007kingifrit · Answer

it's not unacceptable to talk about it. but it should be done with a reason, not flippantly it's like talking about shit, it's not classy.

JohnK123 · Answer

Well my friend talks about getting moody and cramps but that’s it i think it’s fine and then she can tell me how to help her if she needs

Jackblue · Answer

Nothing much, but in my experience I thought women felt that was not an issue to include men in.

Staximus · Answer

I don't care, it doesn't gross me out because I'm an adult and it's a natural part of life
