So, [livejournal.com profile] sonnlich posted a link to this interesting article about the way menstruation is still a pretty taboo subject, even though a lot of guys probably wouldn't actually freak out if women brings it up. So, a poll.

Nb: when I say "mention" I just mean in vague, non-gross terms like "Crap! Out of tampons" or "Ow. Cramps", not going into icky detail. The same way one might talk about having gastro or a runny nose.

[Poll #1167026]

Wet dreams would be the closest analouge, and they most certainly aren't something you talk about. When they are talked about, it's generally father and son, in a slightly panicked "get the info I need and change topic ASAP" way.

Yeah, but I didn't think men talked about that at work. I walk about my period at work when I need a pad or just you know when I feel crappy and explain I have cramps and then a conversation ensues on occasion about how our periods are.

But yeah.
