oral..embarrassing 16+

Part of his reaction might be down to male social conditioning. After all, it's a subject area that men very rarely get to talk about so for many of us it's sort of shrouded in mystery.

It was less than 20 years ago that firms were not allowed to advertise "feminine hygiene products" on television. (Ben Elton said that must have made an interesting day in Parliament when they banned that one but I digress...)

It might be an idea to sit down and talk through the whole menstruation issue with him - not just the physical stuff but the emotional too. If he can understand that this is something that is perfectly normal that about half the population of the world go through at some stage of their lives it might "demystify" the whole thing.

To those of you who said it could have been "the smell", I'd just like to point out that fresh blood doesn't smell. Well, it smells like blood, but it doesn't smell particularly bad. In this instance, it almost certainly wasn't the smell.

Oh, and thanks to whoever repped me.

well whatever but having blood clots in your mouth aint exactly a turn on is it??

Are you sure? Have been in a vaguely similar situation before and there is a definate iron-ey smell.

(NB Iron the metal, not the clothing implement)

Ok, i think i speak for all guys who have just read this when i say:

Well that's just what blood smells like. Semen doesn't exactly smell like roses, does it? I was referring to the stereotypical 'fishy' smell that people assume girls on their periods must have. That being said, I can honestly say I've never ventured down there to find out for myself, so I could be wrong.

the fishy smell is lack of hygiene not bodily fluids me thinks

It's perfectly reasonable for a guy to want to stay away from menstrual-related business, but come on, an accidental spot of blood incident is hardly something to be sick about...
