Bloodhounds: Men Obsessed With Period Sex

“Ew, blood!” is the typical response you’ll hear from a guy who ever sees a used maxi pad or tampon. In fact, it’s a pretty typical response for women, too. For bloodhounds, though, hearing about a girl who’s hitting that time of the month isn’t gross. Rather, it’s a sign that they are ready to get it on. Though this fetish is relatively rare, it is out there. Here’s what it’s like, and why some guys really like the idea of a girl who’s interested in having period sex.

The Psych Name… This is also known in the psychology community as “menophilia” - the love of a woman’s menses.

Much Like With Other Fetishes, This Kink Has Levels. Some men are just into it because women tend to get into the mood during that time of the month, and enjoy the “free lube” factor of it. Others, on the other hand, really get into the actual blood of it.

There Is An Aesthetic To It. One bloodhound admitted that he loved “pulling out and seeing blood on his member” to the point that it was a distinct turn-on.

Another One Likes The Brutality Look. “I like to pretend that I’m brutally stabbing her with my penis. And the noise she is making is screams of pain. I’m into that hardcore s***.”

And Then It Can Get Weird. Another said he liked “to paint” girls with their period blood.

The “Red Wings” Issue. Originally, the Hell’s Angels used the act of going down on a menstruating woman as part of their initiation. They called it “getting your red wings.” Apparently, bloodhounds would have been totally fine with this part - and still call it by the old gang name.

It Tastes Like Steak. Guys who are brave enough to go down on a girl say that it “taste like very rare steak.”

Or, It Tastes Sweet. One girl who was dating a bloodhound said, “He said every girl tasted different. Oh god, he’s done period-sex taste tests.”

And Then There’s The Smell. Redditor yesomgyes said, “Yes. I like it. I like the ripe smell. Yes, I’ve had fantasies of having sex during a girl’s period. And I have no problem going down on my SO when she’s on her period.”
