    1. Sex and Your Period: Friends or Foes? The Hilarious (and Maybe Helpful) Guide to Period Timing

      Navigating the tides of your menstrual cycle can be tricky, especially when it comes to intimacy. The question of whether sex and your period are friends or foes is a personal one, but here's a lighthearted and maybe helpful guide to period timing:

      Embrace the Flow: Your period doesn't have to be a barrier to sexual activity. In fact, some find that sex during this time can actually alleviate cramps and improve mood, thanks to the endorphins released during orgasm.

      Communication is Key: If you're considering period sex, talk to your partner. Openness and consent are crucial. Discuss what you're both comfortable with and set the scene for a positive experience.

      Be Prepared: Period sex can be messy, so plan ahead. Dark towels, waterproof mattress protectors, or even shower sex can make clean-up easier. And remember, period sex still requires contraception if you're not trying to conceive, and protection against STIs.

      Listen to Your Body: Some days you might feel more sensitive or tender, so pay attention to what feels good. You might discover new pleasures or prefer to stick to familiar ones.

      Aftercare: Post-sex cuddles and care are just as important during your period. Take time to feel good about your body and the shared intimacy.

      Remember, whether you choose to have sex during your period or not, it's all about what makes you feel comfortable and happy. Your period can be a time of renewal, and with the right approach, it can coexist harmoniously with your sex life. So, whether they're friends or foes, the power is in your hands to decide.

    1. of course there’s 7 guys per girl, but it’s not like I wanted any friends who weren’t guys, right?

      Dude, you've got no friends at all, it's not right for you to be so picky.

      Update: it gets worse:

      I bail on Toastmasters because they charge dues and I don’t need to pay for training in public speaking.

      cy1 admits he was a user to that group from the get go. He stopped by just to see if he could get laid. It turns out I gave him too much benefit of the doubt. The men there were just an obstacle to him all along!
