I like your perspective though I hope my articles on period sex didn’t inspire it. LOL.

At this stage in my life, period sex (or rather, lack thereof) is definitely a dealbreaker. I do want someone who is comfortable with the workings of my female body. I don’t think it’s necessarily bad or wrong for someone not to be into period sex but in my history, my partners weren’t into it because they thought it was dirty and vile.

The things past partners said to me about my period and the way they treated me when on my period (I had to beg just for cuddling or kisses) were intended to shame me and my body and I’m just not interested in that anymore. I totally understand that there are people (of any gender) who get queasy around blood and that all of us were brought up in a culture that shamed menstruation (which would make it hard for anyone to get into period sex, I imagine), but also…I am so horny during my period, I don’t want to waste that anymore. AND I long for that experience. AND I’m done being shamed by men for that.

But also, it’s important to remember that some people just aren’t into certain things, as you said. And that shouldn’t be shamed, either. I am trying not to let my past experiences boomerang me into the opposite direction in which I shake off my own shame by shaming others. Just as you said, that’s only perpetuating the same problem. Thank you for this reminder for all of us. ❤ ❤ ❤
