Discussing periods...

So for those of you who remember my apology things are going nicly with my new partner. But i have a little dilema now.

My periods have never been entirely regular... certain months are completely crzy due to streches of high stress and that kind of thing. This would be one of those months, way out of wack. I'm starting the pill (like sunday) so theoreticaly it shouldn't be an issue anymore.

But here's the dilema... we're getting together tonight... so natrually my period had to start today. Now personally I have no issues with having sex during my period... but i know not everyone is on the same page. So obviously I have to tell him... I'm just trying to figure out how I can do it tactfully... I have an awful tendancy to just blurt things out. I don't want it to turn in to a bad too much information moment.

Any suggestions?
(i swear I won't freak out on anyone this time.... really i promise)

The only thing you really can do is tell him you have your period and ask him how he feels about having sex during that time or if he rather wait until it's over with.

Well, we've all found ourselves at that point in a new relationship and the best way is just to say that you're in your period. Then, if he's okay with intercourse during your flow, it's no biggie. But if he's squeamish about that sort of thing, you can always provide pleasure for one another other ways. It's only a big deal if you make it one though.

I agree. Just tell him. Let us know how it goes.
