They should be taught not just the mechanics of them but about the cramps, the back ache, the overwhelming emotions.

Ron...I am not quite sure why us chaps need to know all the ins and outs (sorry !) about menstruation and tampons ?

I don't consider the subject disgusting.....just irrelevant to me. How will the world be a better place if chaps were made aware of this subject in all its interesting little details ?
Just read it Ron...good article....am surprised to see that "jam rag" is still bandied about in schools...twas in my day, a long long time ago.

Women have periods, men don't.
What more does one want to know?
Exactly how deep a knowledge of it is needed by those not experiencing them themselves ? It's life, it happens, it's messy, it can be uncomfortable, it comes about one a month, it can synchronise in females groups. There are websites where one can read about them. Forced to learn ??? I think the women here need to hear about prostate examinations really.
It's compulsory for women to wear a tampon when skydiving......to stop them whistling.....
Melv...go and sit on the naughty step !
Mikey...It's not just about periods though. Some girls/women really suffer badly. It's a good idea that our sons grow up knowing this and understanding it.

They already know the basics of prostate exams, Old_Geezer, mostly through innuendo though.
I explained to my boys all about 'periods'

How else could I explain the wife acting like a demented laughing hyena on acid?
lol, Talbot, exactly!
ummmm

/// They should be taught not just the mechanics of them but about the cramps, the back ache, the overwhelming emotions. ///

And you think that the majority of women keep this a secret from men do you?
Is it true that elephants use sheep as tampons?
OG...its not women that might benefit from learning about prostate problems....its the vast amount of men that need to be aware.

I recall an occasion when my two nephews were in their mid-teens. I asked them if they knew how to examine their testicles for any strange lumps, when in the shower, and they both tried to dive under the sofa ! I thought it was a very sensible subject to bring up but it was like breaking wind in chapel.

Ditto for prostate problems. Men are dying every year from problems with their "bits" and its about time that they got to grips with the situation.
(sorry again ! )
AOG...its not often that we two agree but you are bang on the button at 09:55 !
Men learn it the hard way. Boys should be taught it as part of sex education.
A little story for you:

I lived in the Student's Hostel for roughly two years. a large building with one telephone in the entrance and when it rang anyone who was closest answered the phone.

This evening i answered the phone and a female voice asked to speak to Mr X. I ran up to his room banged on the door but he clearly was not in.
Returning to the telephone booth, I was about to speak when the female voice said " Darling, panic over, my period came this morning."
I answered, "Oh! that is good news, I will tell Mr X when he comes in, as he is out at the moment.

The telephone went dead.
Ummm...its a very long time since I had sex education in school (50 years !)

But isn't menstruation included these days ? When I attended school in the mid-60's, boys and girls had their sessions separately but I understand its co-ed nowadays.
Sqad....LOL !
' Forced to learn'? I thought both males and females learnt about this in human biology. As for the 'dealing with it' we get enough girls on TV advertising ,apparently having a fantastic 'time of the month' surfing, swimming and generally having fun as long as they use a particular type of sanitary protection. I don't believe that in this country there is ignorance of menstruation or how it affects women. Taking 'selfies' of men and women with Tampons is just exhibitionism. Some things should be private -I'm old-fashioned of course.
