To the practical--

Men would have to acknowledge they DO have emotional cycles. 

QuoteJust as with women, men's emotions, sexual drive, energy level and competitive edge are all tied into gland function and streams of biochemicals.

Without the monthly red flag, it's too easy for guys to ignore their circles, just assuming they're always the same.

Male cycles was one of those topics nobody (guys) wanted to talk about (along with AIS females, for example.)

I can just picture sporting goods stores selling camo colored maxi pads for deer hunters.  They would probably be made to warm up when shaken or kicked, too.  We'd never hear the end of the rooster crowing.

Well, I wouldn't be too happy, that's for damned sure!  I consider myself lucky not to have to deal with periods.  Besides, how fair would it be to make men deal with both menstruation and susceptibility to being kicked in the balls?  (Further question: how would this work, exactly, physiologically speaking?  Would this use an existing hole, or would a new one suddenly appear?)

But anyway...

If men had periods, they would constantly talk about how lucky the world is, because if women had periods, they would break down from the emotions and the pain and the food cravings, and the end of the world would be nigh.  Obviously such a dramatic bodily function can only be dealt with properly by tough, manly men.

To be honest, I'd not thought about that, it would probably use an existing orifice.....Don't ask me which one now? >

Tinkerbell,  If men had to go through a period, all hell would break loose, the liquor stores would be empty as half of them would try to drink their tears away and the other half would be too macho to admit they had them.
