This is so good. Thank you for writing it and thanks for the mention. I am at that point (at 45) where I won't shut up about my period. I'll talk about it anywhere. I pull out pads now whenever I need to, company be damned. And I talk about it in my work and on social media. Sometimes, this grosses men out. But if they come to read my sex articles, they can read about bleeding, too, because I am a woman and it is all part of the package. I'll be damned if I let people cut me up into pieces and hide "unsexy" parts anymore.
