we're going to need some pretty clever lighting. Even with the speculum, in lithotomy position, it's really dark in there. I've done research!

bullshit.

It's applicable to both sex and cunnilingus as far as I am concerned. I was on my period when I jokingly asked a prospective lover if he had earned his red wings yet. He responded with "I don't know what that means and I don't think want to know. My vagina responded by drying up immediately and I deleted his number.

On the very slim chance this exchange didn't just take place in your head, you might want to teach him that formally declaring his opinion on the aesthetics of a particular woman's nether regions is off limits. Either that or his girlfriends later in life are going to be very unsettled. They don't all look alike,…

I think it stems from periods being viewed as inherently 'dirty.' For many decades there have been products marketed to women to clean their vulva, to freshen up, to get rid of the smell, etc. Not to mention men have been taught to love vaginas for sex, but fear them for anything else they can do (menstruation,…

No, I think he usually keeps his own up there.

it's not

So what you're saying is, she asked for it?

And we're not even really talking vulva here either, it's more the mons.

see, explaining shit I find annoying (sexism, man spreading) to my son is one of my favorite parts of being a parent. I do it loudly, in public, as often as I can. "Yeah, that person is looking away so she won't see if mommy falls down because she is pregnant and trying to hold you on the subway! sometimes, people…

She is neither debasing nor empowering herself. She is making money. Sweet, capitalist, apolitical money.

My favorite is "How will I explain this to my children?"

Point of fact: he is showing just as much vagina as Hannah Davis.

Next year's cover is going to be a woman in stirrups with a speculum in. Just right up in it. If we're having this vagina conversation anyway, we might as well see an actual vagina, damnit.

I'm just annoyed at how many people, especially grown women, don't know the difference between a vulva and a vagina. Even if she was wearing nothing below the waist you wouldn't be able to see her vagina in that pose!

As a male, I don't mind period sex either because NO PIRATE FEARS THE RED SEA

I had sex with my FWB towards the end of my period. The next morning I had to get up and leave early and I got a text that afternoon: "you could have mentioned you were on the blob, I got up to pee and thought I was dying"

Hmm. The only one I can think of is Bertolucci's The Dreamers (also French). Eva Green, Michael Pitt and Louis Garrel are bathing together and the water begins to change color because of her menstrual blood as they sit there. In another scene we see Green's blood after she loses her virginity to Pitt and he wipes it…

I don't know if period sex is any grosser than anything else, since human bodies are disgusting and sex is full of weird fluids.
