Question for the guys

[skymama 37]

Does it freak you out to hear a woman talk about her "female" issues? Do the words vagina, period, menstrual cramps. blood flow, uterus, etc. make you want to yell out, "tmi, tmi!" or do you just accept those things as another part of a natural, bodily function?

If you're ok with it, did you feel like that as a single guy or only after you got married and had been around it for awhile? Any married guys still have issues with it?

I've never had a problem with it...but then again, I grew up with 3 sisters...

As long as that stuff comes from my wife, I'm okay with it. That's in person, mind you.

Anything anybody posts on here is fair game, except in the women's forum.

It doesn't bother me. I guess part of it is because I work in the medical field but even before that it was never really a big deal body parts are body parts and the anatomy and physiology of the body is pretty interesting especally when you really start to learn how and why it works.

through my undergrad and grad studies, i actually learned more about female issues than my wife knows, at least book-wise anyway. i'm quite comfortable talking about it, actually.

now, i'd rather not SEE a bloody pad, but that's another story...

Single or married, I have never had any issue with any of this.

To me, its just a natural part of life. Not a big deal. Male or female, we all have "issues".

Does not bother me in the slightest. In fact, I'm happy to lend a hand.

It doesn't freak me out when my girlfriend talks about it, but I feel as if I'm hearing something that wasn't meant for my ears when a woman I'm not intimate with begins to discuss her "issues". It doesn't gross me out or make me squeamish. I simply question my need-to-know in that context.

Never had a problem with it b/c I used to have to go to the O.B. and sit in the waiting room while Mother got examined.

I also have a close friend who is an O.B. I talk about female stuff on a daily basis.

Like that is a suprise!



Who is spooked by it?

It depends on the situation.
In general, it's fine, but we don't need to know some things sometimes from some people. A "need to know" basis is better.

Funny.

I had my first serious girlfriend when I was a Senior in High School. I walk her to her door and I'm kissing her so long and she starts crying.

Having grown up in a housefull of women I knew EXACTLY what was going on and that I was doomed. There is nothing a woman suffering really bad crampy PMS wants to hear.

As to the words, no problemo. I get "take it easy you're bruising my uterus" all the time.

No problems hearing about it, especially since whenever she tells me that Aunt Flo is visiting that it means I'm not a daddy for another month (phew!).

Interesting related side note: one thing that did freak me out was that for the LONGEST time (I mean YEARS, up until we officially moved in together) I wouldn't let the gf keep tampons in my place. It was a territorial thing, kinda like as soon as the tampons passed through the door then my "bachelor pad chi" would be disrupted.

No problem whatsoever here.

that stuff has never really bothered me, but now that i'm married to an ob/gyn, the older women if my family talk a little too freely about their plumbing issues. i do get squeamish when a woman talks about taking a dump, especially if she's attractive. us guys would be perfectly happy to believe that girls don't shit, all you have to do is keep from shoving the evidence in our face. as long as we are allowed, we will walk around in our ignorant bliss.

I'm very single, and that stuff kinda fascinates me. It did bother me when I was younger, but I guess I've realized that it's no big deal.

I don't know about "Freak me out" but when someone brought the topic up at dinner last night... it was a little poorly timed.

can't say it does even when single. Even did a bit of fishing back then when a girlfriend's mouse lost its tail and she freaked.

OMG!!

Now that's about as unfreaked out as it gets!

It doesn't freak me out, I am in agreement that i am not a fan of seeing evidence of it, but at some point you just have to get over your self don't you...

I am married, and I don't like hearing about it. I don't need to know, can't do anything about it, don't wanna hear it.

I hate the commercials that deal with that crap too! Especially feminine itching and odor!!

Nope. Don't care at all.
