Hmm, I am surprised, a male who is actually willing to learn about this instead of blushing and cowering away like a little boy.
I have always suffered severely with these things they like to call periods.
I get severe mood swings in the 4-5 days leading up to it and become ultra, ultra sensitive to anything anyone says. I tend to rage more, harm more, become more aggressive and tearful, and react worse to everything. The lack of control os abhorrent.
I suffer severe pains for the first few days, and as an example of this, I was woken up by these only 3 hours after going to sleep today. I spent the next 45 minutes crawling around the floor crying and praying for them to go... painkillers no longer help, the usual over the counter ones.
I think it really does vary a lot from woman to woman. Some seem to get no problems at all and hardly know they have a period. Others like myself suffer very badly due to fluctuating hormonal levels, I am assuming.
HEY, Don't be surprised. I haven't asked women EITHER, but I DID find out from LOTS of women. OK, I admit it. I am curious. Some women apparantly have periods and kids with almost NO pain, etc.... Others, OBVIOUSLY, have TONS of pain. I am certainly not belittling it. A painless delivery is astounding to me, but I have heard about several cases, and one coworker told me she had that experience. Blood sugar is the same thing, some have almost no variation, and others nearly die.
NO reasonable man would expect a woman to handle it with NO discomfort, etc... I have a hard enough time with a 10 pound laptop. GRANTED a woman is built for it, the center of gravity is right, and it is GRADUAL, but you can still appreciate DOZENS of extra pounds added, and becoming 2-3 times the size.
