Just.......Why? (Girlie Medical Stuff)

Everyone poops, too, but people are still grossed out by it.

Technically, every living creature gets rid of waste.

It's just waste.

I'm not saying people need to rub it in their bodies and show it to everyone, but causally mentioning it? Shouldn't send it people into compusions.

Everything does it. It's a part of life. Creatures have been pooping longer then sex been pleasurable. It's just a part of life.

....?

I guess I can see why others are grossed out.

Just a normal function of a normal being.

(Most have been the several videos I got to see about reproductive systems)

Granted, i also got to help dissect stuff, see a child skull ( I swear, that teeth deal is the coolest thing EVER! I mean, I never knew that the adult teeth were there, waiting to pop out... and some people have a third or even a forth set!)

It's just a normal thing. Seriously. Everyone gets to deal with it. Yes, even guys, though their interaction is likely in order of sister/mother/wife/daughter/possibly granddaughter.

It just happens. Not a big deal.

after being married for 20 years dealing with her period stuff (including humugo clots and heavy flows and massive cramps)

PLUS

having to deal with like 15 major surgeries (involving mass bandage changes 2 or 3 times a day) and seeing more of my Ex's internal insides tham should be allowed,

NONE of the squiky, squishy gross stuff bother me anymore

Hey, didn't someone ask what would happen if guys starting having periods?

Football players' pants wouldn't be so tight... or so white.

I've always been curious as to why guys are so icked out by periods. I had one ex who wouldn't even cuddle with me during that time of the month because he was afraid that I would gush blood all over him.

But my current hun was raised around lots of women and half of them nurses. He's actually gone and picked up tampons for me (and a chocolate milkshake).

Jackdaw doesn't mind much. Having a sister does help with that. Especially a sister who wasn't able to be discreet. (When you're rolling on the ground in agony, the entire world knows you're menstruating). He still gets upset occasionally if I leave my cup out for too long, and you know what? I can't say I blame him. The only way I can tell that he's icked out is his objection to me switching to cloth pads. (Yes, I still need pads.) But even with that, he's still better than a lot of women are.

[morgana]

She then proceeded to tell him in graphic detail about the size and consistency of her clots, the heaviness of her flow, and the intensity of the pain the cramps were giving her.

I once made a man (well, a piggy male 20-something alleged-human) literally by describing what was happening in my body at the time.

I hear tell he's actually a pretty decent human being these days. I sometimes take credit for that.

[MoonCat]

I think some guys freak because it's not usual for them to be losing large amounts of blood without, y'know, dying. Or at least passing out. So it just strikes them as icky. Anyway that's my theory.

I don't really wanna hear anybody's details, either. Just because everybody does something doesn't mean it's a great conversational topic.

[TelephoneAngel]

I wasn't actually "icked out by it".

In the right circumstances, amongst women I know well, there have been the same conversations every other woman has had with her friends , the

"THIS is going on right now, do you think it's normal?", or the "would you recommend a hot water bottle against the cramps?", that kind of thing.

But I am afraid that if I am at work and some random woman starts talking to me about her periods, then my reaction is going to be




And it was!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[telecom_goddess]

It's not just guys icked out by this kind of thing...I am fucking grossed out by some stranger spilling out with that kind of thing. There is such a thing as being discreet dammit. Whatever bodily issues you're having do NOT need to be shared.

If guys had periods, there would be at least 5 extra days off from work a month for everyone.

[ShinyGreenApple]

Yeah, while it strikes me as odd to share that with someone, it doesn't really bother me. It just shocks me the things some people think is appropriate to share with their customer service rep/cashier/etc. Since starting back on the cash register, I've had someone share with me the fact that they have a massive flea infestation at their house, another ask me if I'd like to get involved with her passion party business, and another go on for FAR too long about how your bowel movements dry up as you get older and how you need to take/eat things to 'help it along'.

I've had grown men cry in front of me, begging me to know which of our medicene will make them have huge erections.

You know what /Dave/. You make a shit load of money, have a nice car, and every fucking night you brought in a smoking hot women that men would kill for. I doubt you have any problems worthy of any time. I hate it when people complain that they don't have enough when they have far far far more then anyone else. I mean dude hands out fifty dollar bills like they are going out of style.

Or other people talking in detail about how they piss all over themselves every day.


As clerks, we all hear stories that people /arent/ suppose to know. But if it helps someone feel better to have a ear to talk to, well fine. I did it. Yay.
