Periods

Periods. Despite living in the 21st century, so many of us are ill-educated about them. Women are often embarrassed and men outright grossed out.

Nobody talks about the fact that sex on period can be not only arousing, but also healing - apparently, it can actually help alleviate period pain and discomfort, for example.

Importantly, it can help build trust and intimacy between partners, it brings out the primal in us in a way that we rarely get to experience, a whole new level of authenticity.

For us, as my partner is now becoming peri-menopausal, we're acutely aware that any one of these periods might be her last. Thus, we’ve decided to celebrate them, we are embracing and celebrating them together.

This has become a powerful, deeply moving and arousing, and healing ritual for us. Something we look forward to and get excited about.

This blood is life. It’s a gift we’ve been blessed with. We will not be grossed out or embarrassed for being alive. We will indulge it, paint our faces in it, giggle and roar about it. Proudly and deliciously.
