Why Observing Her Cycle Is One of the Most Romantic Things You Can Do
Skip the flowers and sync up with her tracking app instead
—Oh, your boobs just got bigger, I see your period is just around the corner.
Guess what? That’s one of the most romantic things my partner has ever said to me. Before that, I swooned when a lover said something along the lines of:
—Men who avoid women on their periods are idiots; they’re missing out on her most sensitive days.
That doesn’t sound all that amorous, you say? Well, I think it is, and I’ll tell you why: This is the sound of the mature, divine masculine speaking. There are feminist attitudes in action. On the opposite end, as an example of the immature masculine, you have the guy who told my friend he doesn’t go down on a woman because it makes him feel like a cow licking a salt stone. Red flag — huge turn off!
One of my favorite stand up comedians, Ali Wong, agrees and in a story about when she told a lover that she was on her period, he responded:
—Well, then let’s make a fucking mess Ali!
Shocked by this, she said, till this day that is the most romantic thing anybody had ever said to me.
