I don't think people without a vag understand the sheer depth of self-shame baked into you from a young age regarding being on your period. "Why it's just some blood" yeah but it's The Evil Blood That Makes You A Disgusting Troglodyte. This is common. Saying you want to eat out someone on their period is like saying you want to drink their snot. Thank you for being so casual about it and not contributing to the culture but it's gonna take a long while to convince your partner it doesn't make them gross and disgusting. Because that is what they were taught to feel about it
#ive met so many cis men who ive said “no we can't have sex im on my period'' and they're just like ''so? it's just blood''#and i have to kindly inform them that i grew up my entire life being taught that it's a disgusting body function#and to never let the people around you know you're on your period because it's unpleasant and gross to think about#and they're just like ''well idc it's fine''#and like#thanks that is genuinely nice of you#but its not gonna unwind years of societal pressure#you are a minority
