For Him- 7 Dos During the Menstrual Cycle (Part 2)

This is the second part of an earlier post with the same title- For Him—7 Dos During the Menstrual Cycle (Part 1).

Do swim in non-shark infested waters. You and your honey are planning to go to Puerto Galera for the weekend, but her period came unexpectedly early that Monday; but since the vacation is going to be five days away, both of you decide to push through with it anyway. However, you change the venue to Boracay. Why?

During the training seminar of the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), the instructor asked me what would I do if the ship sank in shark-infested waters and I was bleeding because I had my period. Politely, I corrected his impression that the blood would flow out and said that the water pressure would keep it in. And I thought that ended the matter.

However, when I told this story to a female diver friend, she told me that her diving instructor once stopped her from diving in Puerto Galera when he learned that she had her period. His reason? The sharks can tell (I have no idea, but do sharks have ultra sensitive senses or something?).

Anyway, under the assumption that sharks indeed can tell, it would be better to go to non-shark infested beaches like Boracay (As far as I know, there are no sharks reported within the area).

Do keep heat resistant containers handy. Your baby is writhing in pain or in physical distress from menstrual cramps. What do you do? Grab a heat resistant container (avoid glass containers because they might crack and shatter from the heat), fill it up with a hot liquid (e.g. hot water), and help her press it against the painful area. Why?

The heat will help in relaxing the contracting muscles. Consequently, the pain will lessen.

Do handle her more gently. You grasp her in a clinch using your regular amount of strength, and she winces in pain. What do you do? Slacken your hold a little bit and treat her with kid gloves. Why?

The female body is more likely to bruise during her menses, along with a higher sensitivity to pain. For this reason, massages are usually not recommended, nor surgery at this time.

So, remember, the usual pressure might elicit more pain than pleasure. Therefore, unless that’s your fetish, ease off. I’m not talking about abstinence, but a little more tender loving care might be in order, instead of the roughhouse treatment.

Do make her laugh to keep her in a lighthearted mood. Your lady is in pain, discomfort, plus, feeling vulnerable and just a little bit whacked. Laughter is a good antidote since it produces the feel good hormones–endorphins.

And, it would be a really great time to reveal that sensitive side of you (Yes, it’s in there somewhere). Please do not make any jokes at the expense of her physical condition (like those stupid jokes about the smell and other stuff along the same vein).

In the September issue of FHM, one of the accounts in the True Stories section recounts how one guy lost his girlfriend because of his reaction when he saw his penis covered with “thick black blood” while they were having sex.

He thought it was “the grossest thing he ever saw.” His girlfriend got so upset with him that she “broke off with him then and there.” (Yes, of course it can be quite traumatic and upsetting to see your dick covered in blood, so why even look at it? Avert your eyes and focus on the sensations instead.) Eventually, they got back together.

Gentlemen, congratulations! You read it all the way through.
