How did you boys find out about periods?

Question

Other than hearing about it in health classes at school, how did you guys find out about it? How old were you? How do you feel about it?

I'm curious to find out.

Answer 1

probably in 5 or 6th grade s*x ed. we probably didn't care very much either haha

Answer 2

i was walking with my friend and we found a used tampon just lying on the street we didnt pick it up but we came back and asked my mom what it was and we had a talk about it that night

Answer 3

I guess I was in maybe the third grade and had too often take the trash out. I wondered what those big baseball size things were in the trash. So I just went and unwraped one, one day. It was nasty as all get out. They don't burn very good, it takes more than one burn to get read of them. I always say this big box above the shower it had pads on it. When ever teh laundry was done and I would sometimes help mom there was often times this belt like thing in there, she said it was hers and someday I would understand. I also had three sisters and someone was always on there period. It was like it would never end. The trash alway had those things in it. Dad never spoke much about it.

One day I grew up and found out more about women. It was interesting really. I still don't understand women but I do sort of admire them. The female body is(most of them don't like the period thing yet I can understand why)just a great peice of work.  

Answer 4

I saw used sanitary pads... I was shocked and thought someone was hurt but my mom explained. I'm 23 now but that word "periods" still kinda scares me from the sheer amount of blood!

Answer 10

I think in 6th-8th grade, also my sis left her teen vogue magazines and stuff in the bathroom and I read those stories about couples getting caught doing it and I'm pretty sure I heard about some stuff in there to.

Answer 11

Yeah I saw the stuff in the trash from my mom, growing up, but didn't ever really ask about it, so I guess I did find out in health class in junior high. I tend to be a late bloomer most of the time.

Answer 16

My 16 year old sister and I were anxiously awaiting Christmas.  One Saturday afternoon, my mom and her neighbor friend returned from shopping.  She went right up to her bedroom with a big bag.  I asked "What's in there?" and she replied "Nothing for you!"  As the 3 ladies talked in the kitchen, I snuck up to my mom's room and looked inside the bag and saw KOTEX FEMININE NAPKINS.  Not having a clue at 12 years old, I yelled downstairs "Hey mom.  What are feminine napkins?"  The 3 women laughed hysterically, and I was puzzled why.  They never gave me a straight answer.  I called my friend after dinner and he told me what the deal was.

Answer 17
