I guess my actual question boils down to - do they just get time off or what do you do when they
are on their period...do you cut them slack, or punish them, or not allow them to have them
(pregnancy, IUD, birth control, ect), or how do you do it?

So Im not entirely sure if this is the right board to post this to or not...And I know this may be a dumb question but Im Curious.

To all you Masters/Mistresses/Slaves/Subs/Switch....well pretty much everyone:

In primarily a sexual poly household (or any live-in, long-term situation), when a slave or sub is on their period (I know, can be gross to talk about but Im wondering), how do you treat the situation? I know some people are into blood, and find it a turn on...but I would think most are not (no judgements). I guess my actual question boils down to - do they just get time off or what do you do when they are on their period...do you cut them slack, or punish them, or not allow them to have them (pregnancy, IUD, birth control, ect), or how do you do it?

I would sort of like all points of view...From a dom's point and a slave's point and everywhere inbetween. Everyone does things different but Im considering a live-in situation and want some ideas on what to expect.

Thanks so much all!

I'm not into poly and my slave is male...however, I used to be vanilla once upon a time. My friends and I back then all had the same problem, we would get more horny during our periods but guys were squicked out over the blood. Some even said that the blood didn't bother them as much as the "chunks" (blood clots). I'm talking about plain ole penis vagina sex here, not about guys going down on women during that time of the month.

I'm taking it for granted that you will be discussing all of your concerns with THEM, before you agree to become part of their poly household.

As for this part, I can only give my opinion and give common sense answers, as I have no experience in running a poly household with female slaves.

When my boy is not doing well I take care of him. If he were female and having a rough period, lol, I would ensure there was some ibuprophen or Tylenol in the house, heating pads, hot water bottles, maxipads and minipads. Personally, my own periods were rough...heavy, seven day wonders, passing painful clots and giving me migraines. Sometimes I had to take to my bed, medicate, wear a black blindfold to cut out all light, and lie down on a heating pad. I'm with the cut them some slack crowd, if it is needed.

Punish? LOL! As for not allowing them to have them...cranking out a baby every nine months, year after year after year just so that women would go through great stretches of time without periods is ridiculous. Btw, my mother's best friend had a "period" every month she was pregnant with one of her daughters; being pregnant does not guarantee there would be no blood. After having my baby by cesarean I bled heavily for six weeks. Bringing a child in the world should be for a better reason than preventing the inconvenience of periods. Btw, IUDs do not prevent menstrual flow. Friends of mine who had them said they had them more heavily and with more clots. Birth control pills also allow for periods. As far as stopping blood flow goes...that shot is a hit or miss thing; a friend of mine got them and for over six years didn't have a single period. I got the Depo shot and had bleeding every blessed day for four months. (After that I said to heck with that form of birth control.)

How does anyone deal with it? I would hope...realistically. If those you are negotiating with are too deep into fantasy, no pun intended, I'd consider this a red flag.
