Yeah this. I avoid talking about it as much as possible to my boyfriend even though he says he doesn't mind. I'm just trying to think of the things she could possibly say to keep the conversation about it going on to the point where it annoys you. It's really not that interesting.WeOwnTheSky said:
I don't really care when women talk about it. It's no more gross than any of the other crap your body does imo.
You mean you find it discomforting that your lady-friend is talking about blood gushing from her privates? In all seriousness find something to talk about that'll tick her off and run with it, and unfortunately, no, I can't add in any info or personal experience on "it" aside from what I've read.
If you're bored of having a girlfriend, just remind her that a period usually signifies the END of a sentence, not the start of many.
Glad to help, enjoy being single

Just be a bigger dick than she's being a *****, simple as that. Loudly responding with things like "The reason your cramps are so bad is because you have diarreah running out of your mouth along with the blood gushing out of your twat" can go a long way. My wife gave up trying to make me uncomfortable in public a long, long time ago.
The misogyny in this thread irritates, but does not surprise me.
Considering how much dick talk women have put up with since the beginning of time, but women can't talk about periods? Periods aren't that gross. Grow up, children. Periods can even be kind of interesting, if you're one of those rare freaks that menstruates.
Stupid girls, always wanting to TALK about their LIVES and things that are RELEVANT to them. the OP's girlfriend must not have been brainwashed enough as a child to feel deep shame and secrecy about her natural body functions. She must be reprogrammed to keep her discomfort to herself, even from her partner who is supposed to care about her and support her.
Do this girl a favor and dump her, because she deserves someone that isn't such a wiener about this stuff.

I'm gonna skip all the above and just answer this question: it depends on the girl. Basically, when a girl is on her period her body is practicing giving birth. And yes, just like giving birth to an actual baby, it's extremely bloody and disgusting. The hormones swing, you can get really bloated, you often feel really disgusting, you can get morning sickness (throwing up), and then there's the cramps (which is your body going through mock preparations of spitting out a baby). I had a friend once who got so sick on her period that she had to stay in bed all day. I've had days where I couldn't make it to class and just feel like shouting, screaming, and rolling all over the floor because it hurt so badly. I'd describe it (at it's worst) like being kneed in the groin for hours. (Boys never believe me when I say that though and I have been kneed in the groin. Shocker, girls have lots of nerve endings there too boys. Just not as many.)Urgh76 said:By the way, for bonus discussion, how bad IS it really?
But instead of nine months, it's at most a week.
Seriously though, it sounds like she's doing it just to gross you out and if it's really bothering you just tell her to stop. If she cares about you she'll respect that. If she doesn't, go with the flow (accidental pun) and talk about something that she finds really disgusting. After all, fair's fair.
And if the above grossed you out, then tough, you wanted to know.

Become very serious and look her gently in the eye.
Move in real close and gently caress her cheek slightly pulling back her hair as you lean in even further, mouth inches away from her ear, and whisper sweetly and softly........
"You have no idea how hard this conversation is making me right now." Then preform your best sexy growl.

Yeah, because not wanting to talk about genital bleeding is totally misogynist.deadlydeadlybees said:
Get over yourself. I'm near positive everyone here knows that periods are at least uncomfortable for women, that does NOT mean that they should talk about them all the bloody time. What the OP has described has gone far beyond 'talking about her life'. She's deliberately bringing it up to make him uncomfortable, and that's pretty much the definition of trolling.
I'm pretty sure that could have some unwanted side effects. Like... pregnancy.flagship said:
...and are people really that uncomfortable talking about menstrual periods? Maybe it's just 'cos I grew up with three sisters but it doesn't freak me out at all.
It varies from person to person. Some women don't even realise they're on; others (like me) are in excruciating agony from day one. And it's not just pain - it can interfere with your sleep cycle, emotions, appetite and influence headaches and migraines.Urgh76 said:By the way, for bonus discussion, how bad IS it really?
Imagine somebody sticks a bicycle pump into your belly button and starts pumping. That's the bloated feeling. Now imagine a hot, searing pain stretching from hip to hip. That's the pain. Now imagine that you can't sleep at night. At all. That's the insomnia. And finally, imagine that no matter what you do, you feel angry, frustrated and sad all at once, and you can't break out of it. That's the emotional disturbance. Unlucky gals like me get all four of these symptoms for a week to 12 days, every single month.
Next time your girlfriend complains, give her a hug and ask if she wants some chocolates. I promise, you will be her hero.
