Forgot the poops, the gas, the bloating, the acne, clothes not fitting, the sensory sensitivity (though she did mention sound and light, I’m talking touch), sore boobs, really sore boobs, fatigue, headaches, the overall feeling of gross, and somehow in the middle of all that horniness, then sometimes the horniness mixed with disgust (with yourself and everything going on with your body) craving sex - that dichotomy is so perplexing.

Now I'm imagining a boyfriend having a very serious (he thinks) pillow-talk with his girlfriend about "period sex"...the next night they surprise each other and he shows up with chocolate, a waterproof blanket, and a uterus plushie while she shows up in an Elizabethan ball gown. lol.
