Guys+Periods, and the Hymen

[trancefreak.livejournal.com]

My boyfriend and I were talking about having sex while I have my period. These exact words were said by him "I don't want bloody pussy." I have never been so offended and pissed off about that subject matter. Anyways after I let him know how much that offended me, I was thinking how in the world do I get him to open up to the whole period thing.

So how have you all eased a guy into not being so utterly freaked out about your period??? Seriously the whole thing to him is a gross, joking about matter.UGH.


One other thing, is the hymen pronounced hyMEN or hyMAN? I have never really known how to say the word...
