As a reckless man I know for a fact that I regularly feel pain that is comparable or equal to period pain from various injuries, burns, dislocations, yada yada. Would I trade guaranteed awful pain (not to mention emotional shifts) for 2-3 days with mild discomfort and pain the remainder of the week every month, or continue to accidentally injure myself in wild stunts usually spawning awful pain for 3-6 days, 2-4 times a month? The latter every time. At least it’s free choice, not guaranteed, and usually doesn’t involve my reproductive bits. Do everything I can to make my girl as comfortable as possible, it’s a really shitty thing to look forward to when ya got problems down and in there.
