I once very briefly dated a guy who asked if he could go down on me when I had my period.
When I say we dated ‘very briefly’, I mean I sprinted out of his bedroom/his life as soon as he made his menstrual request. It totally threw me. One second I was with what I thought was a normal human man, the next I was mortified to be standing in a room with someone who said the idea of giving me a ‘rainbow kiss’ really turned him on.
I couldn’t get out of there fast enough.
But, upon regaling my tale of sexual shock to various friends, I came to realise that for certain men who are that way inclined, being into ‘period sex’ is actually a thing. And I’m not talking about just throwing down a towel when you’re horny and going for gold. Some men are actually into menstrual blood as its own sexual fetish.
They like having sex with women on their period. They like going down on women on their period. They just really like anything to do with sexy periods.
I was young and pretty inexperienced when propositioned with a rainbow kiss, so I was honestly convinced that I had come across some kind of rare, disturbed sex maniac. He might as well have just offered to stick a straw in my vag. But he was actually part of a much larger club. A club of men who call themselves, and I don’t know why but I feel like I need to apologise for this but I do:
Blood Hounds. Men who get the sexy tingles over menstrual blood are called Blood Hounds.
The topic of Blood Hounds came up in the Mamamia office today, and given that I once ran away from someone who asked to taste my bloody vagina, I obviously implied that I was an expert on the subject.

But....to think they'd WANT......... blood...... bloodly globs of blood.....lol, maybe its just a new trend but I remeber how my friends and i were in school and we talked about ALL the girl stuff - from, "I read that men actually have their OWN kind of period" and "I tried shving down there" to what we're talking bout now. My friend was like, "Urgh, i know sex'll hurt so much the first time. I'm gonna get married first". And THEN we talked about, "Do you bleed the first time?" and most of the group reaponded, "Nuh-uh, THAT'S if ur on yr period" and the girl next to me said, "Ew, what guy would want to do that. But wait, what about 69ing on yr period😱💀?!" (yes,yes, we knew too much for our age but its not like we did any of it 😁). And I replied "First off, I'd never EVER put my mouth on that THING (I'd seen a pic of it in my mom's textbook about a week before, which made me hate it more. I mean, come on, i was a kid and a picky food eater😂) and then i said, "unless this guy's got problems, im pretty sure there wont be any licking down there involved, especially with blood". Funniest part is, they went to the topic of "Edward Cullen would probably do that with Bella on her period tho😏". Really, who are these people??. Oh yea, crazy people that i call friends😂
Bloodhounds are hot as hell. That turns me on, personally. I would have definitely stayed for that experience. I actually feel sorry for the man you ran from. Shame.
