I honestly do not know how other women deal with extreme cramping. The shit hurts down to your bones. Like, make ya back teeth ache from the pain.
Yes. This. The cramping has my uterus as its epicenter. The pain radiates, seeming to travel along my reproductive organs, outlining them in a way which would have enabled me to draw a diagram if I had never seen an anatomical drawing. The part of the ache that travels through my vagina is like a secondary epicenter. That pain radiates out into my bones. It makes my anus hurt. It creeps up my spine, and down my legs through the bones. My joints throb. In response to the lower back ache, my muscles begin to clench, and I can get a tension headache.
An orgasm intensifies that to an intolerable level that I would say is similar to what I felt during a first trimester miscarriage. Your worst enemies would have to stab puppies to merit this kind of punishing pain. It doesn't respond much to NSAID medications, and responds not at all to narcotics.
What then is the cure? Pain, ironically. Before the cramping gets too intense, I can apply electric stimulation, heat, lie still and sleep, and only then will an NSAID have any impact.
Once my pain is already well managed, only then are orgasms and sexual contact welcome. Not only are they welcome, I am extremely interested in seeking them out, as usual.
That's why the suggestion that I, or any of the female sexual beings here might simply just not be open minded about oral sex relief for menstrual symptoms, from some man who has never had a goddamned period once in his fucking life was extremely offensive to me. You should just be open minded about it! My entire ass! Da fuq outta here.
