Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health 
So many guys seem to not know how to react when a girl is on her period, whether it be a friend, girlfriend, a wife, fiance, sister, aunt, mother, you get the point. They seem to commonly associate a period with chocolate cravings, PMS fueled anger, mood swings, and just aggressive behavior. Now I admit to being an FtM transsexual, and that means I did have a period to deal with, I used to be in the girls locker room leaving me with so many different period attitudes, and I am in a female dominated family who also have different period attitudes. So this is for the guys out there who seem to think chocolate and PMS is what a period is all about.
PMSing
Expectation of a girl PMSing:
Reality:
There's this super common misconception that when a girl is in fact dealing with PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome), it just means she angry and a chocolate demon. Reality is, she probably has a few of the symptoms listed above, and a cocky and amused attitude from a couple of guys isn't going to make it any better, probably just piss her off even more. If I had a dollar for every time some guy said a comment about me PMSing, when I was really just annoyed with something he said, I'd be rich an able to pay off any college bills ten times over.
While there is no exact reason known as to why PMS even occurs, it's said to be mainly related to the changes in hormones in a womans body before her period.
Now let me tell you, I've had cramps and they are nothing to joke about. I've had to call a day off work and school because I've had cramps so bad I was crying in my bed in a fetal position, with nothing to help me. I would just take a few pills and some nyquil and sleep it off hopefully. I would either be craving things like crazy or barely eat. I would be so damn moody because of everything. Now add in a guys cocky attitude about my period, and are you really going to sit there and wonder why a girl gets pissed with guys on her period? Guys have no clue what they're talking about with PMSing, and most guys don't even take the time to figure out what it means and how to help.
So how to help? Well, for starters, don't just throw her a chocolate bar and expect everything to be just peachy. Actually talk to her when she wants to talk and figure out what you can do to help. Being a general dick the entire time is the fastest way to get a bitchy attitude. Being understanding towards the situation will make shark week a little more manageable.
The Necessary Items, Pads And Tampons
So your girl is bleeding, probably not feeling her best, and needs some tampons and asks you to go. Generally, the guy grudgingly abliges. You go to the nearest Wal-Mart and locate the aisle and either grab the first thing you see or start in confusion and hopefully grab the right thing, or text/call and ask what the hell you're looking at and what you're getting.
I admit, it's a bit much. There's so many brands, types, and a guy would have no clue what the hell the difference between the blood flows are. I mean, ask a guy the difference between super and overnight and he'll probably say there's none, they both soak up a lot (Which there is a slight difference, but that's another story).
So here, I just wanna say just make sure you grab the right ones and go with a posititive attitude. Nothing embarassing about grabbing a few boxes of Kotex tampons. Way better alternative than having to go back to the store for detergeant (if you ran out), new sheets, clothing, and an angry girl waiting for you to get back because you got the wrong brand. Trust me when I say this: GET THE RIGHT TYPE, IF ANYTHING THE RIGHT FLOW TYPE. Do NOT get a girl who needs super some lites and tell her to just change it more often. That's both painful and annoying and a waste of money. Just suck it up and get them.
Being Horny On Your Period
So I've noticed this and ended up looking it up and it's true that girls are generally more horny during their period. Now I've witnessed this in the locker rooms. I could tell whose on their period and who wasn't sometimes by how they acted. One girl would become a little grabber and another friend of mines would slap ass a lot more. It's pretty common to see the girls being touchy feely with one another, but during that time of the month it was like they were about to just start having sex with each other sometimes. I'd notice they would be way more lovely towards their bfs and gfs, and being the trans in the room (as I was told I had to use the girls rooms until I had top surgery), I was almost tortured by this.
So hormones are to blame for this like they are to blame for PMSing. But it's understandable when you really don't want to do anything with a bloody girl, much less give her head. The best y'all can do if she is one who get's really horny is wait until before, after, or hit it in the shower. But the best thing you shouldn't do is get angry with her for it. I've seen guys get disgusted by a girl even sitting on their laps, scared blood is gonna attack them. Dude. They've had a period for some time now. They can control it. If you have a severe issue with her blood, that's unforunate but I advise you get over it cause it's gonna be back next month and the next month and the next month and so on until she's pregnant and hits menopause.
Period Blood (Look up your own photos)
So I don't want to disgust people, but it's about the big thing about periods and thats the blood itself. Okay, guys, let me tell y'all something: It's there. I understand it's incredibly disgusting to you, but it's there okay. I've met so many who treat it like its a sin to be aware that your girl is on her cycle and you'll go to hell for seeing blood. Like, come on. The girl has enough trouble trying to keep it from staining her clothes and, god forbid, leaking in public while staying comfortable and somewhat dry. Now add it to a guy who overreacts when she's on her period like the blood is going to murder him, and it's just stupid at that point.
Like I get that you don't want blood on you, but the girl has a lot more to worry about in her own pants. You can relax as a guy.
Finally, Understand Her
So not every girl is going to be very aggressive during her period, some might even become quite docile. Not every girl will go asking you for tampons and pads, she might get them herself. Not every girl is going to be horny as hell. This is not a "For every female" guide, but a general cover of the common stuff. I just think that if you're a male in a relationship with a female, who just so happens to be on her monthly, try your best to get to know how she is and peacefully work around it. Don't go around laughing, telling her to stop PMSing, relax, don't get blood everywhere, and then ask if some Dove would make her happy like that's a cure-all. Just get to know your girl, how she behaves, and PEACEFULLY work around it. Don't act like a dick because she's not on her period forever, and she might come at you very angrily after the fact because of your attitude while she was.
Hopefully I helped and hope I didn't piss any ladies off right now, that wasn't my intention.
By the way: I'm male now. I know, and get this on EVERY fucking take, I'm MALE. I was born female. If you're plan is to just comment as to how I'm still female, message me instead because that's not what this is about. But I know I'm gonna have those people who'll comment saying, "Wait, so are you a boy or girl?" and then ignorantly comment the entire time. Just message me anything relating to that, but feel free to comment otherwise.
