What it's like to be with an actual man - the period talk (Page 3)

[Dragonpurple]

I don't think women are dirty cause of a bodily function. Sounds like you have a winner there.

[myTake Owner]

Thank you very much for sharing. I guess this is a matter of how mature a man is mentally.

[t-8900]

Your man sounds like a solid chap. I'm glad the two of you met and are happy and in love! Stay good to each other! Wish you all the best!

[Nottoxic]

This is sweet, I'm happy for you

[myTake Owner]

Thank you!

[Nottoxic]

No worries, it reflects how I'd like to be. Only had one relationship so far, and that was long distance.

Do you mind me asking how you yet each other?

[myTake Owner]

I also had a long distance relationship before this one.

I met him on a dating app, we talked on the phone for weeks, facetimed a lot, met in real life and while it took some dates, we started hitting it off around the two month mark or so.

I had only kissed my ex once (I was 16 at the time) before I met my boyfriend. Don't rush into things, you'll meet your favourite person!

[Nottoxic]

Ohh that's nice, glad things are going well. 🙂

It's funny because whilst I've been open to a relationship I haven't actively pursued it. With my last relationship it all happened very unexpectedly. It was good for quite a while but I noticed my ex was becoming a bit distant so I eventually suggested it might be best if we broke up.

I'd definitely like to meet someone when I finish school. Thanks for the nice conversation 😊

[myTake Owner]

No worries! I can also highly recommend waiting until you're out of school, it's easier to meet someone at college or university for sure.

[Nottoxic]

Yeah that's what I'm thinking 100%. At school everyone knows everything about the relationships going on and it seems a bit claustrophobic. Definitely better to wait until legal adulthood for relationships I think!

[Unit1]

You make it sound like most men don't accept women with their bodily functions. Where on earth do you encounter such specimen?🤔

[exitseven]

Wow, this guy sounds like a real keeper.

[myTake Owner]

Gotta gree on that one!

[R3DthatDude]

I have a serious question. How do you feel about sex during your period?

[myTake Owner]

I don't like it during the first two days for the reasons I mentioned in this post, but after that, I don't care :)
You?

[Coffeemate]

Ok. Ill chime in. Im all for it. So long as your partner is “clean”. And by that i mean. History. Tests. Trust. Then by all means do it in the shower. On the ceramic tile. Anywhere you can clean up efficiantly.

Women can feel excited on there menstrual cycle. Its natural. If you're in a close bond with your partner. Then fuck away !!! Wipe up and clean up and dont get it on the curtains.

Look. there's nothing mitzvah about it. Unless your partner (male female) has sex with everything and (god forbid) anything. Enjoy sex with being on a period. Wipe it up. Its just blood. and a natural cycle that every fucken woman on this planet goes through.

Look, it’s nice and all that your boyfriend is nice, but let’s be real for a second. Most guys are not like that at ALL. You’re lucky, so don’t take him for granted. The rest of us are stuck with nasty losers.

[myTake Owner]

Quite a number of men don't agree that they're not as nice or even go as far as saying they're even better.
Just look at the comments on this post - this is why I wanted to write this, because I think it's important to talk about healthy relationships way more often than about toxic ones!

[joeblow123]

"The rest of us are stuck with nasty losers."

Those are the men you chose. You ignored the nice guys and went after the assholes. These men are just being true to their nature. If you are going to blame someone I suggest you blame the woman in the mirror.

[Anonymous]

Cool "story". You make no secret of the fact that you thing most men are garbage. That was your underlying message, right? lol

[myTake Owner]

I don't think most men are garbage. Sorry if that's what you took away from this post.

[Opinion Owner]

Look, I'm sorry you've had negative experiences with some guys on GAG, and I'm happy your boyfriend treats you well, although I have no doubt much of what you wrote here was overstated / exaggerated and just intended to suggest all guys should treat women like special princesses who need to be coddled like children when they are weak, and if they don't then they are not "actual men". If you don't want people to treat you like you're week, then don't make such a big deal about how weak you are.

This kind of stuff just undermines respect for women as a whole, and your tone about men only pisses people off and deepens the obvious gender divide at GAG, as if it's not deep enough already.

[Ryfyle]

I thought menstruation was common knowledge. So I take it you were dating Squeamish boys prior?

[myTake Owner]

Yeah, you could say that. I only had one boyfriend before that and despite being several years older than myself, looking back, he was extremely insecure and immature.

[Ryfyle]

Still a Squimish boy at the end of day.

[myTake Owner]

Probably, yes.

[Massageman]

You've got a keeper, there.

[Shhhhhhhhhhh06]

He's sounds like a great guy !

[myTake Owner]

Couldn't agree more!

[Anonymous]

All some guys know about period and how’s its part of life. Perhaps arts , business once don’t...

[Anonymous]

This is literally the bare minimum

[myTake Owner]

From what I've read from other men on here, not everyone shares this opinion, which is such a shame!

[jimmy2]

Thats so cool he like that for you

[ManHater]

Coming from a girl who posts with no name...

[myTake Owner]

... because I knew this wouldn't sit right with everyone and didn't want to face the strong opinions of users I interact with on a regular basis.
We all have our reasons.

[Gosselinfan]

I think you’re lucky

[ThisAndThat]

I don't see how or why he would be any different.

[Nayyrr]

Didn't read, but I agree
