Guys, do you think you could handle periods alongside their painful 😣 effects if you were a woman? Why/why not? Ladies, your thoughts?

Question

Put yourself in our shoes, and imagine the menstrual cramps, headaches and other biological effects it does to a woman’s whole being bleeding for 3-5 days and deal with you and life…

Thank you for your kind answers…

Aerolyn · Accepted Answer

I'm confident that I would be able to.

What am I gonna do if I can't handle it? Kill myself? Haven't done that yet despite going though constant bullshit on a daily basis.

If all of y'all women can handle it on top of all the other b. s. that y'all deal with that aren't period related then yeah, I think I can to.

Xtendable · Accepted Answer

I have a high pain threshold but no, I couldn’t, and for those girls who deal with endometriosis, I take my hat off to you

MCheetah · Answer

My cousin, who is a genius in intelligence like me, once described periods in detail for me. She said while they're somewhat painful, especially when cramping, "most women are just p*ssies about it and need to 'grow some ovaries.'" My cousin, like me, is also a perfectionist and can endure most painful things, mentally or physically, through sheer willpower and stoicism. She claims she's taught her body to not pass gas, as a result.

And when it comes to her period, she says she's made it so that she doesn't feel pain anymore and that she's able to willpower her body into having painless menstrual cycles (she's 27; so that's like 14 years of experience, no?). Although considering I've been in her room before when she wasn't there and saw the box of Lybrel (Norethisterone), I'm guessing it's really that.

Short answer: Yes. If a 5'9", 130 pound blonde can handle them, so can I.

Luckily for you OP, you've only got another year or two left to deal with them! 😂 Kidding.

i think men have it way easier than women.

I'm 26 years old and I'm gonna have to admit that those monthly periods , including the uncomfortableness of wearing a bra really takes a toll on you after many years. Bras are the modern-day form of ancient china foot binding. It never gets comfortable no matter how many years after you wear it, but you just get used to it to the point where it feels odd to be without a bra in public. But at the same time, its the best feeling ever when you don't wear it.

When I was a teenager, I used to suffer from severe painful constipation cramps every time my period came. It was soo awful and torturous. The intensity constipation cramps is much better now but constipation still happens to me almost every month. Upon the magical month where I don't get constipation, I usually feel relieved. As I've entered my mid 20s, my vaginal cramps got more and more painful. To the point where it feels tortuous to do any sort of physical activity such as walking, going up the stairs, carrying a heavy schoolbag. Having to scrub sheets, mattresses, clothes every month to get rid of blood isn't fun either. Neither is wasting money on buying expensive bras, pads, new underwear every year. Over a lifetime, these costs add up to a lot of money.

being a man is significantly easier than being a woman. You are typically more comfortable physically, less to worry about things such as getting raped, drug rape, being attacked. And an added bonus, men don't even need to go through labor to have children. Men don't even need to give up their careers to have children.

men have it easier than women SIGNIFICANTLY

lightbulb27 · Answer

Could handle it as long as we have a "man cave" to get away from people. I actually perform better after pain or illness, so maybe I'd be better. But I can see why my women have a hard time. I've learned how this works and so I'm extra accomdating.

the biggest challenge seems to be the hormonal/emotional swing and ensuing chaos it creates when the person is not handled with understanding support. Imagine a reverse scenario where guys testosterone spikes! it be a very bloody planet...

Screenwriter · Answer

OK, my early periods were uncomfortable. But unbearable? I had those cramps for a few hours at least one day of the five. I didn't have headaches or feel like punching anyone. I felt like I had a mild version of the flu for that first day. Sometimes it was bad enough to take a day off from school.

But, by high school, the cramps had lessened significantly and my menstrual period was simply an inconvenience and messy.

I realize there are women who have far worse symptoms, but how many women do? Do you have percentages?

I think most guys could handle this, just as most women do.

dustybiker · Answer

They wouldn’t know what they are in for in some cases. I’ve been found in fetal positions unable to speak in so much pain in the past. Especially the combo estrogen/migraine and bad cramping day. Pain rotates from head to lower back to cervix. God awful.

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

I get joint pain often. I get stiff easily. Indigestion easily. And I have very irritable skin. So plenty of rashes that can be triggered by anything from contact with certain plastics to contact with dog hair, or even an unpleasant wood grain sensation can lead to dermatitis. I break out rather easily too.

And if I eat something unknowingly containing barley, I can get intense headaches, horrible bloating and cramps, lack of concentration, and boils all over my skin.

So the simple way to not be able to relate to your scenario, is to avoid McDonald's "food" and most gas station "food," and I'm usually good to go. And to be mindful of what surfaces I touch.

Dinklex3 · Answer

Aanndd i just woke up bleeding this morning, lol. My periods have gotten better. Before, i used to get sick. They'd last 10 days (7 days heavy bleeding, 3 days light), I'd have nasuea, diarrhea, back pain, terrible cramps.

Now it lasts for 5 days with cramps. Pain isn't as intense and i don’t cry anymore, lol. I think if men had them from the beginning they'd be fine. But if they randomly had it for a week they'd freak out lol.

Phoenix98 · Answer

I’m already sore, hurting and have muscle pain/back pain and muscle cramps from my job and often get bruised and or cut on the job so *shrugs*

nothing would change still have to go into work.

granted I’ve seen some periods so bad it’s bedridden some women from the pain those I probably couldn’t handle but your average period? I could probably deal with it.

but at the end of the day none of know what it’s like so we couldn’t really answer it genuinely. We’re only guessing.

BlueScorpio · Answer

Guys have done those period experiments and said it was quite painful for them. I don't think they would like bleeding from their penis every month lol But I think some men do underestimate the pain of periods and childbirth sometimes cause they've never experienced it. I think if men had to go throw birth a lot of them would say hell no lol

Fireguy17 · Answer

Yawn, I've been injured much worse than that over the years, so ya, a non issue.
Plus I could use that as an excuse to be an ass hat to people for a week every month.
It's the price you pay to be able to have kids.
Nothing men can do about it.
We didn't design men or women.
Plus we have to put up with women for that week every month.

Aakash_Hangargi · Answer

Experience makes it tollerable and like women men would have high tollerabce for pain

And i am sure pain would make it a competition who can paint the wall red who has the longest range

Might shower on some ladies 😂😂😂😂

And in older days there was a trend to write letters in blood that would come back again 😆

Lol they would drench women in blood bath

Haha whose up for period sex let see now you gals would find it gross or not 👻.

Gives new definition to period sex lol filling it up with blood

Then again if i imagine more

Let see if sperms resided in a womens womb already

Then the guys during periods had sex and eggs were passed i believe women would be bearing children like cats 5 and 6 at a time 😂😂😂

Whose ready for it now 😁!!!

Tyrael · Answer

I have a high poison tolerance so I'm sure I'd be fine.

That being said, if blood started shooting out of my dick I can tell you right now I would not be going to work until that stopped. And it's crazy that women have to. Keep that shit at home. Work from home that's what I'd do. Wait until that's over.

spartan55 · Answer

I will have to recuse myself from this question due to not ever experiencing a period.
However, I have had multiple girlfriends over the course of my life, so I've been along for the Pony Express often. My experience is that every woman is different when it comes to their period (heavy, light, moodiness, no change in personality, cramps, cravings, etc.) it varies widely.

Twalli · Answer

Apparently I went through something that is far more painful than childbirth. At least reported by those have gone through both. Having said that, I'd prefer to avoid it in the future since it was painful to take a shit. I think that, if I had to, I could go through periods if I had to. It's all about accepting the pains and such that you cannot change.

Guy13 · Answer

🙃 I’ve been doing for that almost 30 years…day in and day out working my way towards the Joy of Menopause. What do you think we are putting up with…with you women…24/7 Effects of hormonal cyclical fluctuations…conjoined with momentarily Pleasure scattered here-and-there

At least if it was my Body I would have Control over it…Now it’s a life of Secondary Effects. What some people call being at the wrong place at the wrong time, perpetually
😎

ZackBan · Answer

It seems to be something all women hate so I don't see why I would welcome handling it.

Now if it was something I can't change I would find a way not to complain too much and live with it so yeah it would be "handled" but it's not something I would be looking forward to that's for sure

doug_walker · Answer

No! I don't know how my wife, mother, and sister go through it and women in general! Though I can't feel the pain and symptoms, I can tell it's not a good feeling. I remember when I was 25 and my younger sister, 18 then, stayed with me because she went to college. I remember she called at 2 am on my cell phone and asked if I could come to her room because she couldn't move. I thought she was calling me to kill a spider or a bug, but she was lying down in a fetal position crying. She then told me she was on her period, and she asked if I could go to the store and bring her pads. I did, and that whole night she was crying from the pain. I felt sorry for her.

KatherineJ · Answer

Honestly, if they were women, they would have to get used to it, and deal. Just like every other girl does.

MementoMori_ · Answer

Both men and women have their bio determinative crosses to bear. Men have the burden of being expected to be the primary bread winners and the muscle in the family and that is no walk in the park either.

Also having to shave your face every day isn't exactly a zero on the scale of unpleasant physical burdens.

However, I will give you that having to go through a period every month is one hell of a bad trip. To be honest I would probably consider suicide.

sirderpsalot123 · Answer

I have always imagined that periods would be like having my balls squeezed for a week... Doesn't sound fun but I wouldn't have a choice but to deal with it. And not all women get painful periods, so I'm assuming not all men would either. Maybe I would get lucky.

JDavid25 · Answer

LOL.. Why frame it as "dealing with your SO"? What if they are pleasant to be around? Well seeing as men have a higher pain threshold and tolerance, I think we would be fine..

ChiTown33 · Answer

Apparently not? I actually posted a question about this once when I stumbled across "the pun guys". Because I wanted to know how truthful this video was. Whether women are just conditioned over time to be able to withstand it. I like the pun guys.

motownplayer2000 · Answer

I don't know. I would probably adapt it if eventually. Like women have. Not like they can “handle”
It, most women (I know) can’t handle a cut let along that. But they know they have to go through it. That’s why I think any man could “handle” it once he went through it and realized it’s going to keep happening every month.

blondfrog · Answer

Handle yes but I would not like it. I have handled pains much worse. I had to have surgery and they had to my a huge incision on my gums while awake. It was so painful with all the nonvaccine and pain killers it was super painful. While drilling at my teeth. Def not a root canal.

loveslongnails · Answer

Obviously, women who get severe periods are in a lot of pain. It's easy to imagine being in a lot of pain because we all have been, most likely. I can't imagine being nice to people, or doing my job well, if I'm in that kind of pain. I can understand why you'd want to just take meds and not deal with anything.

I've also met women who don't get them bad in terms of pain, cramps or bloating, and just get horny as fuck! I always liked them a little better during those days!! LOL

nawtee_me · Answer

If I were a woman and had to go through periods I would deal with it like any of you do. I would have to since it comes every month... I can say I am not one of those guys that says ewww periods... I don't mind talking about them or the blood or anything. If we are together I am here for you even through your periods...

Do you want to talk about it?

Snakeyes7 · Answer

I'd imagine if you lived with a certain condition all your life you'd get used to it and when you are exposed to new issues, you will be a total wimp about it at first until you adapt to that as well.

I get nosebleeds constantly at certain times of the year so blood doesn't scare me, I have had far worse pain that the muscle cramps I have had in other places, headaches are sort of common too. I think I'll be ok.

RiseofArtemis · Answer

Do you know how it feels to be kicked in the balls? Not likely. It hurts like hell.

Kaneki05 · Answer

People like all creatures adapt. So yeah within time it would become normal just like how it is for women therefore we could handle it. Just like women have to. Not saying it will be a picnic but humans overall can handle it.

BarryLiverstone · Answer

Could I handle them? Probably. Would I need lots more vacay from work, need to sometimes lay in bed for hours, and be in pain oh ya.

But thank God I don’t have them and because of that I try to be sensitive ti someone who is

Fuentes · Answer

No if I did I'd pop a midol & shut up but women love to be severely emotional Rollercoasters on & off their periods so I don't ever see a difference.

Ezra_lila · Answer

Not that I think they can handle but what if they have monthly period as well and they will asked they're buds for a napkin Ahahaha weird stuff. But I think they can handle it most men have high pain tolerance.

Chrysantenum95 · Answer

Lol. Coincidental im having my menstrual cramp rn, its my first day.. Im think ill call sick day later on if doesn't go well. I eating rn my comfort food😋🍨🍧

Lucy68 · Answer

Thr period simulator they recently did is a perfect example, even a tough cowboy couldn't handle the pain

Blackcosmo · Answer

I think if guys had them they would get used to it like us girls. I know some people have pain that's unbearable for literally anyone but I think on average it's painful but bearable.

Apple1996 · Answer

It's proven that period cramps are as painful as a heart attack so I don't think too many men could handle the pain of a heart attack for 5-7 days every month.

Light909090 · Answer

No I would probably commit Suicide if I was constantly in pain like that.

Th3ft · Answer

If at all. I’m okay with being a wuss on this one!

Nikki1989 · Answer

Men are the biggest cry babies when it comes to pain. They wouldn't make it through a day.

Po1989 · Answer

Yes I believe men could handle this if it was a normal part of our anatomy. What do you think would happen, all men would die out?

WhiteBoyChill · Answer

To be perfectly honest, some women handle it much better than others so its truly impossible to say

DudeDiligence · Answer

Studies have shown men handle pain better than women, so I have no doubt we'd be fine. We wouldn't enjoy it any more than women do, but we would be just fine.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Well, I was with my ex for 10 years and never once, in all that time, did she complain about cramps or other girl-related problems so, based on that, I'd probably be able to deal with it.

Havthrills · Answer

Maybe. I do have a higher pain tolerance. I already get migrains at least once a month. A few times they were so bad I was dry heaving. Some last 2 days.

Cubus · Answer

I probably wouldn't because men have lower pain tolerance than women.

AviatorTom · Answer

I normally do what I have to do. If I had to deal with monthly periods, I'd find a way to survive them, just like you women do.

GlassTop · Answer

I honestly think a lot of women just complain a lot. It’s not that bad, and if it is, not always. Just some people. Then you get all those benefits being a girl.

pizzalovershouse · Answer

If I had to put up with that I would just get fixed so wouldn't be dealing with it according to my exs

Zolly99999 · Answer

Nope no thank you.. I'm sure I would have to get use to it eventually... but I don't want too..

RavVid · Answer

I just don't want to know about it. Thank you for oversharing :)

Jenny-Marie · Answer

I envy ladies clothes, make up, perfume hair and shape but I certainly don't envy their periods. I detest being unwell and doubt very much that I could cope with periods. I don't do pain or discomfort.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I think guys need to be in a woman's shoes for a day and experience menstrual cycles

NewsReader · Answer

How can I know? But it is one of the reasons why I don't want to be a woman.

bolverk · Answer

I doubt I'd be able to, I nursed 4 sisters through their periods (one with Endo), I would not wish it on anyone as they all had heavy periods until they started on birth control.

Xewleer · Answer

Yeah. But I work out a lot while working a warehouse job and a security job. Muscle pain and cramps all the time. I think it's a great trade for the ability to create life.

josephinelcajon · Answer

I feel for women. I have lived all my life with IBS almost daily.

nomandik · Answer

If a painful period is like severe stomach cramps then probably not

Mangospacho · Answer

Probably the first few would be pretty unbearable but I would find a way to get used to it somehow.
