Something you might not know about me is that .. I have a good attitude towards menstruation. That's right, I'm the guy! The guy with a good attitude towards menstruation! Oh, I know a lot of men are made uncomfortable by this monthly miracle. But not me. No, I embrace it. Embrace it the way the way some men embrace the weekend! Why I anticipate it the way a child anticipates Christmas!

Did you know that, uh, in a lot of native Indian cultures, menstruating woman were forced to leave the village, lest their *powerful* magic should overwhelm the Shaman? If I were Shaman, I wouldn't be so competitive. I'd be more open and giving. I'd be a shaman with...a good attitude towards menstruation!

'Cause after all, what is it? a cluster of blood vessels, awaiting a fertilized egg. Providing a safe warm place for that egg to grow. And if a life does not occur, the whole thing is flushed away, and the cycle begins again. Now is that anything to be ashamed of or disgusted by? No, this is the nesting stuff of Humanity!

That's why the woman I shall love will be able to menstruate as fully and freely as she desires. Even if her monthly flow should build in intensity to a raging rust colored torrent! An unbridled river of life giving blood flowing from between her legs! An awesome cataract plunging off the edge of our couch. I wouldn't be fazed! No, no, even if coureur de bois would come up stream, battling the rapids, and singing a 'jaunty song'! I would take no offense, rather I would ford across that mighty womanly river, and fetch herbal tea and Pamprin. And then I would mop her brow and admire her fecundity. For I...Have A Good Attitude....Towards MENSTRUATION!

i hate being around anyone but my best friend jen during my cycle. she's the only one i can whine to.

But shouldn't it be called: womenstruation?

[gael.livejournal.com]

holen Sie zurück die Menstruationshäuser!!!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Re:

Re: holen Sie zurück die Menstruationshäuser!!!

[sweetalyssm.livejournal.com]

yes, exactly.....

Menstrual Hut of the Future will have all of the necessary comforts from modern medicine as well as natural approaches. Group Therapy is optional, and chocolate will always on hand. Menstrual Hut of the Future would be equipped with all of the modern facilities and comforts of home.

I got the plan....

only if you're discharging womenses, not menses!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

figures! I meet one swell gal, and suddenly all the other sweeties realise I'm a good catch!

Too late! I'm a monogamist! :)

Re: holen Sie zurück die Menstruationshäuser!!!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

[gael.livejournal.com]

Omigod - you're a monogamist? Now you've seduced the other half of the planet! ;-P

p.s. don't worry, I'm a monogamist, too. Been with the same man for the past 14 years, in fact. :)

Re: only if you're discharging womenses, not menses!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

congratulations! He's a lucky fellow to have someone of your caliber around!

Re: holen Sie zurück die Menstruationshäuser!!!

[sweetalyssm.livejournal.com]

You must be an XXY....can that happen?? or is it XYY? hmmm....

Re: holen Sie zurück die Menstruationshäuser!!!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

XXY. some girly in there.

XYY would have to watch football or something, and have a monobrow.

Re: holen Sie zurück die Menstruationshäuser!!!

[sweetalyssm.livejournal.com]

haha, yes, I knew that XYY was possible, but I was unsure about the XXY. *laughing at the monobrow comment*

Re: holen Sie zurück die Menstruationshäuser!!!

[mauracelt.livejournal.com]

wooohoooo! can we keep him as a nurse? *smile*

nose drinks

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

what is the most common drink you've had fly from your nose?

[tillytollo.livejournal.com]

what a wonderful post and wonderful comments we have here. they made me laugh. i'm all for the hut idea.

more men need to have that attitude scotto-pie. i bet you'd go to the store and buy tampons for your sweetie. someone needs to talk to my boyfriend and let him know that it's ok to do that. he absolutely refuses. does he think someone is going to think they are for him???

buying tampons

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Sure, I'd do that...I figure that's a way of saying "I'm with a girl, hoodyhoo!" Is he too much of a scaredy to buy porn, smokes, booze or condoms?

if those don't faze him, he might want to reevaluate why he feels the way he does.

Re: buying tampons

[tillytollo.livejournal.com]

no, he can buy all of the above except tampons. i don't get it at all.

Re:

[papoose.livejournal.com]

well, that's nice...

BUT IM A DOG!

Re: only if you're discharging womenses, not menses!

[papoose.livejournal.com]

Hey! I knew you were sweet right away!
But I'm already happily married :)

Re:

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

well, dog too.

:) I've seen dogs burp, fart and sneeze. :)

Re: Do they think it's contagious?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

oh, see, now you're a true gem.

I imagine she found you to be a godsend!

Re: only if you're discharging womenses, not menses!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

ah! well, see all us goodies are being snapped up!

Re: buying tampons

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

hmmm... maybe ask him why it's such a weird thing for him...I've always been more embarassed to buy smokes for someone else, truth be told... it's a more negative thing.
