I'll admit I feel a little uncomfortable when I'm asked to buy tampons (kind of had to since my girlfriend can't go out and get them ) Secretly glad my other girlfriends back so it's no longer my job.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

Just that one post in the entire thread merits an "Ew gross" ??

That's why you wear a tampon, duh! Pads are ew. 
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I don't know, I just imagine myself handling it the wrong way and blood splashing everywhere. That would be my luck lol

That would be a hilarious story to tell though. 
But seriously, the benefits are many*:
1) You just buy it once, and never again. No more monthly shopping for pads and tampons. In the long run, you'll save hundreds (thousands?) of dollars/pounds/euros/whatevers.
2) Depending on how heavy your bleed is, it can stay in for up to 12 hours before you need to empty it. (Yes, that means a comfortable, safe night's sleep without having to worry about blood spill on your sheets, yey!)
3) No more waste = happier environment.
I was a skeptic for years until I decided to try last fall. Did not regret it. (And hey, they're not even that expensive, so if it turns out it doesn't work for you, it won't be a huge loss.)

I don't do period sex, but only from trying to be understanding from her point of view. For instance, I don't want to bang when my nose is runny. I feel gross and everything sucks. Actually, a better analogy would probably be pre-cum. I'm self-conscious about the amount I make when I'm horned up, and it makes it hard to enjoy oral no matter how reassured I am by the lady. So I imagine the lady feels pretty unsexy during her period and I don't pressure her. I have been with women who don't care, and I gotta say the sex with limits isn't all that worth it. I'd rather wait it out.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
