Bit sad that it turned a bit into a "them and us" thread, not my intention in the least. (In all honestly though, the female members were merely counteracting unfair comments made by the guys).

None of us can truly understand another persons threshold for pain or experiences etc, let alone anothers gender. .. believe me, PMS is no fun. ..im sure neither is gout..but neither one can really be compared to each other...aff.. ..nvm....

thanks for the opinions.

Fact is that us men will never understand what it's all about, and can not fathom why women can not actually realise in a moment of clarity that it is PMS, and actually not the sock on the floor that has been there for at least 7 minutes that turns us from loving caring other half to being the spawn of hell and the man your mother warned you about. Is there seriously no time at all where you understand it is actually PMS and you can diffuse a situation? I'm not goading, I seriously would like to know,.

Have you never had so much tension or a "straw on the camels back" type feeling where you honestly felt unable to prevent yourself from snapping?

edit: im 100% aware i have pms, when i have pms, i just feel like i have zero tolerance for things i usually have tolerance for. That irritating thing that bugs you when times are normal and you let it go, isnt able to be let go of in the same way. Its like the irritation is amplified to the point you cant think straight anymore.

Never experienced road-rage?

Or any other thing where everything gets under your skin and you basically no longer feel able to keep it together?

If thats never happened to you, ever, than i applaud you.

If it has however, just remember that you were fully in control of your emotions hormonally. During times of PMS, women arent.

Well described eek. Yes I can sympathise with that. I am a repeat offender.

No PMS to blame either. Obsessive to the point of stupid sometimes.

In all seriousness, even at my advanced age, I become irritable if deprived of sex for any length of time.

I won't say how long but fortunately this is a more easily cured condition than PMS.

Have any of you guys had that sample taking thingy down the eye of your penis ??

And the girls think they have something to complain about......

Nope, but I was circumcised when I was fifteen, not only excruciatingly painful but deeply embarrassing for a lad of that age.

Thankfully, it's a one off event.

And there was me thinking you were a complete prick Thaddy.

Most folk in their dotage if they have played competitive sport or jumped out of moving objects sort of live with pain. My daughter is a girl ( strange I know, I blame her mother ) and she his lived with Tinnitus for most of her life..........Now that's misery.

But usually if you've played competitive sports you learn to ignore the day-by-day pain - it;s the sharp jab every so often that wakes you up to the thoughts of living a more sedentary life next time round.

pms is a serious matter and can cause severe physical and emotional distress...fortunately none of my partners have had much of a problem in that regard but I am not unaware...

not to raise the 'us vs them' issue but I have been dysfunctional for 6 years but my wife still accuses me of having affairs: 'I seen what them Vietnamese women look like and you can't tell me that you ain't been fooling around, ye bastid...and what about that bitch in HCMC 6 years ago?'...the 'HCMC bitch' was responsible for my present damage as she wanted to see how much I could take with the result of unrepairable damage to bodily functions and to my marriage...

the give and the take and the yin and yang...the jive follows men to the grave...but women have menopause...

menopause is another issue and also deserves serious consideration but combined with a man's dysfunction can cool down a heated situation a bit and I have been successfully married in Thailand for 12 years now and am grateful for small mercies...

This sounds like the go.

A Dogon menstrual hut in Mali.

and then...here is tutsi with the 'HCMC bitch' who was quite attractive and spoke good english...tutsi is in an italian restaurant in HCMC over pasta and red wine: 'there is an actress in Hollywood named Linda Fiorentino and you look just like her except that you have remarkable olive skin...'...the 'bitch' (chomph, chomph): 'and what was it about her that you found to be so attractive?'...tutsi: 'well, there was a scene where she seduced someone and then later was found to have no panties on...'

'the bitch' (chomph, chomph): 'well, I presently am not wearing underwear and does that excite you?...'...

the thai wife she couldn't ever understand...mercy...

Nurse, nurse.... he's off the meds again.

Apart from bromide, which I know from personal experience, doesn't work, is there any sort of libido reduction treatment out there ...... not including a swift kick in the nuts.

thad...gimme a break...that was in 2006 and I've been clinically dysfunctional ever since...much to the wife's relief as her equipment outshined the HCMC woman in spades and we were always vigorous in our relationship...and I always tried to tell her as much but she wouldn't believe me: 'you never watched old movies with me like ye did wid her, ye bastid...'...'well, we never had the TCM channel, my sweet...'

but we did watch 'Rebel without a cause' a number of times together from my video collection and she got aroused by an emotional James Dean...but, who was I to complain?

life is unfair...

I've found that thinking of my first wife gets my mind off of sex instantly.

Many a nubile Chiang Rai maiden has been saved from my unwanted attentions by my pulling that little gem out of the mental filing cabinet.

Yup. Poor men.

I can imagine how well you would cope with having a period every month; oftentimes with great pain or emotional mood swings, then having annual exams where a speculum is stuck up inside you and twisted round, then a hand goes in there too, just to feel up the uterus, and this starting at around age 16 or 17 and going on every year for the rest of your life. Then ooh, mammograms, those are super fun too, nothing like standing half naked on your tippy toes with your breast completely squished between two metal plates so it can be xrayed. Never mind giving birth or any of that. I mean it can hardly compare to the suffering you poor men must go through.

And with that, I am done here, the responses from a few men are so typical it really just is pointless to bother.

You forgot to mention child birth.......eeewwwww ouch! I'm so glad I'm just a stud man

A genuine query, as to what (if any) your experiences are/have been with women with pms?

only my genetic Klingon bravery enabled me to stay fearless and face cooly the wrath and fury of the enemy.

that sometimes, after the battle, i checked whether my underwear needed a change is a different story which i refuse to tell no i won't! even if you ask me "pretty please". there are things a warrior keeps locked up in the wardrobe where he keeps his skeletons.

I'm quite fiery at the best of times due to my red hair (so my Mother says) however on my period you just seriously don't wanna fuc_k with me!

I can go from being an emotional crying wreck to someone who can gives looks that kill.

Sounds funny

One of my neighbours back in the UK in olden times had a sign just inside her porch that said.

"Warning, I can go from zero to bitch in 0.6 seconds"

But with her it didn't matter what day it was.

The only difference between PMS days and non-PMS days is my tolerance level for fools and jerks gets very low.

Feel you on that one SBK. Many things that would bug me normally are amplified to a unbelievable extent. I see red.

Regarding relationships, most guys must surely know they do a lot of stuff that winds their woman up (sometimes deliberately as a tease factor), but most of the month its put aside and ignored...but utterly impossible to do during times of severe pms. Guys then think that they cant have done anything wrong, because they are just doing what they normally do, without realising that what they normally do is the problem, just that the rest of the month is handle-able!

I haven't read the whole thread, I only have seven hours left on the internet café thingy.

But, when I had pmt i was a harrigan, a real witch, and not a very nice person. I would shout and swear and whatever. Even when the periods arrived i would have to take 2 or three days off work because of the pain that went from my belly right down to my feet. And migraines.

Now i am menopausal, i'm like a wee pussytwat (<deleted> was intentionall!!).

gimme a break Tutsi! no lame excuses please. no man is "dysfunctional" except those who suffer from paralysis of their tongues which, i have been told, is a very rare disease.

These are my experiences with PMS women.

1. First real girlfriend in Aussie. She suffered from Endometriosis and had the worst PMS time I have ever witnessed. The only things she could do was fill up on nurofen and lay in a nice warm bath for hours on end. She suffered real terrible pain, but it was never emotional, just physical so I was lucky enough to be able to help her by being soothing and supportive.
   
2. A Singaporean girl I dated for a few years. She was extremely horny for a few days prior and post her cycle. I mean crazy horny, she had to restrain herself from jumping on the guy sitting next to her on the bus. She was a virgin when I met her so she was too scared to act on her impulses, I wonder what she is like now...hmmmm
   
3. Ex-Wife, she was a machine. The only emotions she ever had were all drug induced. No symptoms whatsoever to PMS, but as I say no emotions at any other time either. Most of you will know about what drugs did to her.
   
4. Current Wife. PMS is a strange thing with her. It normally takes me a while to realise what is going on each month. She turns a bit cold hearted, reminds me she doesn't need me, reminds me she can leave anytime and if she does I will never see our daughter again, or she might leave any time and I can keep our daughter. Refers to everything we have worked for together as only belonging to me, she doesn't want anything from me. She will keep very quiet and do the "Nothing" thing when asked if she is ok. I think this style of PMS is the hardest to deal with because it comes on slowly so for the first day or so I get confused about what I have done wrong, I wonder why she doesn't love me or how she could feel like this. Then realisation hits and I understand so I just leaver her to it for a few days then things are back to normal.
   

This is my Wife' experience with me.

1. I forget every important date.
   
2. I don't wear a wedding ring, one because it is dangerous in my line or work and 2 because I dont like to wear any jewelery (But I do know this bothers her)
   
3. I like to have a drink on the weekends, so when we go anywhere I always plan our route to take in a few 7/11s or resto's that sell beer.
   
4. Hangovers, means I often stay home watching tv while she goes out with her sister or friends. I should really be going with her. Oneday she thanked me for going to the shops with her as she said the neighbours were starting to gossip saying that she is my mia noi for want of a better word.
   

There is more I could add in complaint of myself, but I will leave it at that.

In all I think the woman in my life have had the short end of the stick, well perhaps except for that Singaporean girl, she got the long end

Dr Naam...please let me qualify; I meant to specify 'erectile' dysfunction which disallows effective vaginal penetration but the other equipment with regard to female pleasure still works as the mechanism is different...I still like tacos and the associated equipment can still be applied in an effective arrangement...
