women when are you more horny?

ovulating

on my period

Remaining time: 6 days 12 hours

i need to know if i am an insane hormonal outlier or if my experience is normal. i don’t care if you’re most horny another time of the month or if you’re never horny or if you’re a comparable amount of horny both of these times, just pick one or the other. this is obviously not meant to be a super accurate detailed statistical representation of the average female experience of horniness relative to the menstrual cycle, i am just curious how rare my own experience is, because it seems to go so counter to how women’s sex drives are often represented in media or spoken about colloquially. talk about your experiences in the tags/notes if you want!

Another Major Transgender Suicide Study Crumbles

A study published in Nature Human Behavior claimed that “anti-transgender laws” encourage teen suicide attempts. A new review dismantles it.

(OP made her great post unrebloggable bc “the terfs got to it” 🙄)

[our-lady-of-cyber]

Imagine if a bunch of people found your feminist post and started reblogging it, thus making it reach more people, but then you realize that people who you DONT AGREE WITH are reblogging it, and so you nuke the post. Now no one can reblog the feminist post. Like. Not allowing terfs to reblog your post will not make terfs disappear or reconsider their political views. But the fact that you dont want feminism to reach more people if it means that the evil terfs will agree with you, just shows that your feminism hates some women more than it wants to defend all women

what i don’t understand about trans women needing to be included in lesbianism is that like… if males are going to be in my sexuality, then what am i attracted to if not sex? it’s not femininity, since butch lesbians have existed forever and reducing women down to spinny skirts is misogynistic in nature. you are… attracted to someone saying “i’m a woman”? you’re attracted to the pronouns she/her? i don’t understand. that is literally not how attraction works

almost 5 years on this post and i never really got an answer except for vague notions of ‘sexuality is complex, trans women are women’

i do think lobbying for data centres over climate goals should be considered a crime against humanity btw

I don't have time for tumblr discourse they're calling the very hungry caterpillar degenerate art over on twitter

[despazito]

good art is when something looks like real life, the more real it looks the more better the art. abstracted figures give my trad children nightmares, one time they were exposed to cubism and couldn't go outside for a week

can you lez the fuck in

[abouquetofdaylillies-deactivate]

Pre-menstrual depression is always depicted as like "He He! I had a box of icecream bars and cried while watching the Titanic!" But in reality, it's more like, "I'm standing the edge of an abyss. There is nothing good inside of me, I'm filled with rage and desperation."

It's crazy that being told how to deal with that is never a part of anyone's menstrual sex education.

[headspace-hotel]

This has already been said in the notes, but if PMS causes extreme depression and even suicidal ideation, that is in fact something that most people do not experience and it can be treated

Like for the majority it really is "oh i'm hungrier and moodier than usual"

^this should be a part of sex education so the point still stands

I went to my doctor after I was walking to work one morning and saw a bus coming and actually took a step to throw myself in front of it before I pulled myself together. Later that day I started bleeding and was literally like someone flipped a switch and I didn't feel suicidal anymore. Which made me feel like I was loosing my mind because who goes from 'I want to throw myself in front of a bus' to 'I'm perfectly fine' just like that? I did some research, I went to the doctor and described my feelings, he looked me in the eye and gently asked what I thought it was, I said I'd read about PMDD and I thought it might be that, he said 'I think so too' and wrote a prescription.

If, before you get your period, you feel furiously angry, suicidal, irritated by every tiny thing to the point you want to murder someone, stuck in a black hole you'll never escape from. If you are experiencing extreme emotions for what seems like no good reason, especially if you get your period and those extreme emotions just go away. You're probably not just PMSing , you may have PMS's feral big sister PMDD and it's treatable.

Also this is something that can develop as you get older. So if you used to get normal PMS but what I wrote above sounds more like your norm now then don't just write it off as regular PMS.
