In fact, if you wake up covered in blood from chest to groin and the lady in bed next to you is also covered in blood, panic! She may be dead.

Then, call 911. If she is NOT dead, she probably needs a blood transfusion.

In order for a dude to write an article like this, he either 1) did not realize his ladyfriend had passed on, or 2)has never actually had sex with a lady experiencing her monthly punctuation.

It is possible he has never actually gotten to touch real live lady parts, actually.

Is that what "buckets of blood" is about?

"Excuse me, but I would like to buy a DivaBucket."

"Oh no! Your husband was in a car accident and he lost a lot of blood, you say?"
"Psh. I'm on my period! All they had to do was give me a bucket."

"Mommy? Why is that vampire following you around?"
"You'll know in a few years, my dear."

I suppose this kind of thing shouldn't be surprising considering that a (20-something) boyfriend asked me once if I had to take my tampon out to pee.

I feel like I should give free "down there" classes on college campuses. These kids!

oh sweet jesus, i don't think i have bleed a bucket of blood in my lifetime, let alone from my vagina over a period of 8 hours.

I feel that this should be paired with a 'editorial' about why dick-snot-spunk is super icky.

sigh.

I'm def in the "just put down a towel and stop whining" camp. It's clean, it's natural, it's no more technically "gross" than other fluid produced by the vagina, and at most you'd just get your crotch region and some of your lower stomach smeared with some red. Wipe it off.

"But if you stuff her full of cramp-reducing chocolate, maybe, just maybe, she%u2019ll see the light."

Classy. I want to punch this guy in his dick.

And I'm not even a fan of period sex!

That's an overheard for the ages.

Wow. This college newspaper makes me embarrassed to be someone who once wrote a college newspaper column.

I can't stop thinking about this.... It's making me stupidly angry....

Mind you, this fucker has the gal to say that anal is a non-icky alternative.... anal..... really? If he is so squeamish why doesn't the sex act that could lead to his genitals touching poo gross him out....

grrr.

@Moose: I know! Let's get him!

@beck: but seriously- I think it is because ladies don't poop.

I read "period sex," and clicked through imagining people in Victorian costumes getting it on. To my dismay, natch.

Okay, yeah, I actually read it this time...

I'm so never doing it with anyone during Shark Week. JOLLIES CAN WAIT.

By the way, I love the comments and how they talk about that site like it's CNN. I've never heard of it, so it's obviously not that important, and yet people are screaming bloody murder about the "integrity" of the post and all that.

PFFFFT.

I keep thinking about this and one thing really stands out: if the diaphragm is loose enough to let the blood through, that also means it's loose enough for the sperm to get through. Dumb all over.

Fact: one of my main relationship checklists is that I refuse to date anyone who won't have period sex. If I have to put up with it so do they.

this article is fairly stupid. however i am somewhat inclined to believe the person who wrote it was just trying to be humorous and missed that result entirely. either way, he's an idiot.
