LET'S TALK ABOUT (PERIOD) SEX

That is until now - my baby daddy/life partner can not go with the flow. He has described the idea of intercourse during my menses as ‘gross’, ’disgusting’ and ‘yucky’.

A STORY: #NoBanNoWall

Confused, I looked around at my surroundings to notice a whole village in a Mediterranean climate.  I pulled out my phone, looked for wifi, went to google maps and zoomed out on my location.  I was in Iran and with no way back to my family.  What was I to do now?  As if I were wandering in some kind of limbo amongst other strays like me, trying to find their way back.
