Feeling icky about ONS

    Last night I went out to a birthday drinks thing, got drunk and ended up in bed with a friend of a friend.
    It was only on going to the bathroom this morning that I remembered I was coming to the end of my period.
    I don’t think I bled on the guy’s sheets or anything, but after remembering I was mortified and there definitely would have been blood on the condom.
    I just feel a bit icky about it, mixed with absolutely mortified and probably the hangover from hell not helping!!
    Not sure or even too bothered about seeing the guy again, but I usually avoid sex altogether during that time of month even when it’s with a boyfriend and just feel a bit crap about this.
    Anyone ever go through the same thing? From a guy's perspective is this an absolute

    Comes with the territory. I bet if he was given the option of slight blood on condom or no sex that night before he went out he'd jump at the former.

    Truth be told OP, I don't think it makes any difference who you ask, either guy or girl, whoever, because everyone's going to have a different opinion on it. Some people are going to think 'ew!', some people are going to think 'no big deal'.

    There's no need for you to feel like crap about it though in all fairness, most important thing was that at least you used protection.

    To answer your question - happened to me more times than I'd honestly care to remember, and happens to a lot of girls I've talked to, they'd be embarrassed about it, but for me, no, I wouldn't think anything of it tbh.

    Don't feel bad about it.

    Its happened to me (ages ago mind) - its no biggy.

    Take care ;)

    Hahahaha don't worry about it, OP. It has unfortunately happened to me, except in my case I managed to convince the guy it was because of his size (as if lolol).

    I can see why you'd be embarrassed (cos for me even though it was only a tiny bit, I was mortified), but honestly just forget about it, it's not a big deal.

    Hi OP,
    Oh let me tell you this gem of a story...

    I had a ONS scenario with a work colleague once. We were getting it on. I was due around that time, lets just say the sex must've brought it on. Anyways, I hadnt realised. By the end, the bed, sheets etc were destroyed.

    I did offer to pay for a bit of the damage brought on by our fun. He said no. I left and forgot about it. I figured it happens. Its mother nature and its nothing to be embarassed about. I hope you are not. If the guy had gone all "ohh eucky" Id have told him to grow a pair.

    In brighter news, at least you dont have to see your guy around work! (I hope :-D)

    You must have the hangover fear

    It's no big deal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    I'm a guy.

    Happened to me before with a girl I know.

    Didn't bother me.

    don;t worry about it

    You took precautions and used a condom. That is by far the main thing OP. Anything after that in terms of ickyness falls by the wayside in my (and most other peoples) opinion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 95 ✭✭AnonMouse


    As a guy, it wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

    Who knows, he may not have even noticed it. If he did, he may think that he made you bleed because his penis is so large!
    Either way, I wouldn't worry about it OP. :)

    Guy here, has happened before plenty of times. Didn't even know it was a thing, I haven't and wouldn't care at all.

    Yeah, guys don't care :)

    Hasn't happened with a ONS but has happened plenty of times with girlfriends.
    Last time was with my ex, her period ended two days before, or so she thought. Ended up getting some blood over my hand and she was horrified. She wouldn't look at me for an hour.
    I honestly couldn't stop laughing at how embarrassed she was. It was a non issue for me completely.
    Would feel the same way about a one night stand too. As long as you guys used protection I wouldn't even think twice about it. It's natural and not something you should be ashamed about at all.

    Has happened to me too-the last few days you can have a few false "ends" to a period!!

    Honestly nothing to be ashamed of at all, sex by its very nature can be a bit "icky"-it comes with the territory!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,062 ✭✭✭Dixie Chick


    Its nothing to be grossed out about, although it takes awhile to shake the feeling of it. When the hangover wears off you will feel better


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    Thanks all for the reassurance!
    I think I had a bad dose of the fear and then just generally a bit icked out by something that had never happened before.
    Anyway yer man ended up adding me on facebook and asking me out, so doesn't seem like he had that much of an issue with it :)
    Thanks again to all who responded.

    He's probably still chuffed at your "Big Boy" remark :)

    Good Luck
