Dear Madame X, My period makes me horny. I don’t know why but that is the time of the month that I most want to get down and dirty. My nights are filled with sexy dreams and at work I keep having naughty thoughts (sometimes ones that make me blush). Most men don’t mind so ...
We live in a world full of expectations. Women, for example, are expected to be the perfect images of beauty at all times. They are also expected to be crazy bitches whose periods are simply making them overreact. We laugh and joke about how “psycho” we get when we are menstruating and laugh about how ...
Menstruation is a part of life, always has been and always will be. The day the remaining Neanderthal men catch up to their modern brothers and get the hell over it could not come soon enough. A friend recently told me a story of an altercation she’d had with her new male flat mate, and ...
Blood is finally being referred to in feminine product ads as the substance that leaks from our lady-parts. In the US especially, there has always been a fear of acknowledging that women actually bleed during their periods. In every ad since the dawn of televising pad and tampon commercials, our monthly bloody mess has been ...
Since women entered the workforce they have been paid less than their male peers. At times, measly pay was passed off as a war relief effort, others it was because women’s jobs were considered unskilled; some women were even blamed for not bargaining for higher wages while countless others were edged out of their jobs ...
Apparently daddies have quite a large role in their daughter’s prenatal process after all. A study of 1000 post-menopausal Japanese women asked a series of questions about the time when their periods stopped and past histories of smoking family members. Those whose fathers were smokers while they were in their mothers’ wombs wound up going ...
Like all girls, I got a bit worried when I first got my period. The fact that it arrived on my first day at new school probably didn’t help. It wasn’t quite a freak-out because my friends had started getting it in the past months and were still living perfectly normal lives. One of them ...
In honour of Earth Day — reusable menstrual cups are a great way to look after your health and the Earth at the same time. Not only are you saving money, improving the health of your vagina, and learning about your body, but you are reducing garbage and doing your part for Mother Earth at ...
Imagine having to warn your office every time you had your period. One boss in Norway ordered all female employees wear a red bracelet at their time of the month, so he can easily determine who is on the rag when. Apparently excessive toilet time is a concern in Norway and this is a way ...
We knew this was coming. Period pains cause abnormal changes in brain structure, scientists have been able to show. Which makes most of us ladies, well, abnormal too. Professor Jen-Chuen Hsieh, from the Institute of Brain Science at National Yang-Ming University in Taipei, observed the changes in the gray matter, but has not yet determined ...
