Do you agree that people should pamper their girlfriends during their periods, & buy menstrual products, chocolate, & pain relief for them?

Sexual Behavior

I used to view men's compensation for menstruation as paying for dates but apparently they don't want to do that anymore.

I still think women deserve compensation somehow. I think men (or women who are girlfriends with women) should generally pamper their girlfriends during their periods.

The ideal:

- Buy chocolate (or other snacks, whatever she likes) for her

- Purchase/offer pain relief & do what he can to help relieve pain, perhaps by giving massages.
This helps the 2 bond & come closer together.

- Buy menstrual hygiene products for her.

- Maybe - if you want to & if she wants to - have sex & focus on her (perhaps she can bathe herself first, then stick a tampon in, & you can give her oral). Orgasm helps relieve menstrual pain.

- Sometimes women prefer to be alone during menstruation, so if she prefers that, you should abide. Overall just ask what she wants; different women are different, these are just my suggestions.

EXTRA NOTE: The same should be true if a man gets sick!! The woman should pamper her man, too!! It's just in good taste to help your partner who isn't feeling well.

EXTRA EXTRA NOTE: Menstruation is still no excuse for being abusive.

  • I voted A, though "women deserve compensation" sounds really funny to me. I'm happy to do that stuff simply because I love her and hate to see her suffer, not because it's like a court order or something. My gal likes wine and for me to massage her where she's cramping. No problem!

    If you send him to the store, be sure he knows what to get. The feminine hygiene aisle is a pretty intimidating place when you have no clue! We know literally nothing about different styles of applicators or sizes.

  • Taking this directly from my opinion on your last question-

    Men owe women NOTHING
    Women owe men NOTHING

    What you're suggesting would be a nice gesture, but not an obligation.
    What do you do to warrant being spoiled like that?

  • Don't get me wrong, if my girlfriend was on her period I'd spoil the fuck out of her, out of love, but what do you mean by compensation?

    Compensation for what? 😂

  • Well, I'm not actually going to use her ability to menstruate so I am under no obligation to "compensate".

    However, I would comfort her as much as I could simply because she would be my partner. No period sex though.

  • I don't know about that oral part, id rather not have blood in my mouth, id probably puke.

    It really depends the girl, some girls have periods where it isn't noticeable and some have really bad ones that make them moody and have cramps. I wouldn't mind buying things for her in that case but I wouldn't want her to EXPECT me to buy them for her, I don't want her to demand those things. This isn't a compensation thing, it's a out of the kindness of my heart thing.

  • Lol Compensation? As if it's his fault? I'm with you on taking care of your partner when they don't feel well. It's not required nor should it be, it's just a decent thing to do. But calling it compensation is absurd. It's nature. We get the short end of the stick in some aspects, and so did you. No one owes anyone anything because of it.

    If you think of it as compensation, any guy who normally would feel empathetic or wish to help is going to be immediately put off. Prepare for frequent disappointment. Your guy is not responsible for biology. That's your problem to deal with and rather than expecting him to, you should be absolutely thrilled and feel special if he does. Just like he should feel if you take care of him. You'll find he is much more willing and much more likely to do it if you treat it that way.

      That reward could be not having to bleed every month. Excuse us if we're a bit pissy, we're literally bleeding uncontrollable and having our insides ripped to shreds

  • I pampered a girl during a relationship, but I guess I was too nice because she broke up for "not feeling the chemistry."

    I can't say I've been super nice towards a woman I'm interested in ever since. Being nice and pampering a woman only makes her take advantage of me. It happens every time.

      Most women don't know what they want. They say they want a good man but leave him if he's being too nice while there's other women who is have alway dreamed of having a good man but are unsuccessful when it comes to dating. I hope you have the woman whi truly loves you and appreciates you.

  • Should women have to compensate guys for having higher libidos? Being sensitive in the balls?

      Higher libidos can be pleasurable. It means more orgasms for men (thru masturbation)

      Blue anon, I don't know who you are but you deserve a standing ovation for these remarkable words: "You're convinced that all males owe you something. News flash: no one owes you anything. If you're on your period, that's a biological issue. Ask God/science to compensate for you".

  • Lmfao, if women deserved compensation for their periods, men deserve compensation for morning wood and random boners.

    You can't help biology and you shouldn't be compensated for that fact alone. How aboot we all just do nice things for our SO's because we like them, instead of coming up with silly, biological justifications?

    C. it's optional

    If a guy wants to 'pamper' his girlfriend then let him do him. If a guy doesn't want to 'pamper' his girlfriend then let him do him.

  • I honestly don't think it's necessary. If he/she wants to do it than great, if not then that's fine too. But I do believe that they should be there for each other when the other is sick. Menstration is bound to happen and a woman should be able to talk care of herself.

  • Well, as long as she has no such a painful cramps as me.. that I almost loose consciousness.. then it's unnecessary, or rather it depends on the guy's will. We can easily go to the shop on our period but off when it's not too bad.. then it would be nice for a guy to help us.

  • Men are not obligated to pamper their girlfriends when she's on her period but he could if he chooses to do so. Most women are just using their periods for a excuse to get men to shower then with gifts. If I have a boyfriend, I wouldn't care if he pampered me or not because I did fine without him and I could do fine with him. You can't always depend on a guy, you have to be independent.
