Who Am I?

        Unlike Deep Throat, I don't plan on revealing my identity. I'm probably not what you would picture. I'm a mild-mannered, relatively conservative married man in his 30's living in Texas. I was quite a precocious kid. Instead of playing baseball on the corner lot, I was in my parents' attic reading books on pregnancy and health. I thought women's bodies were far more interesting than men's bodies. Something struck me as odd. I knew about periods. It sounded sort of neat. Yes, I was in elementary school. I'd see these vague ads on television where they never quite came out and told you what they were for. Sometimes they'd pour a blue liquid on them. I didn't connect the products shown in those ads to menstruation for several years.
        Puberty hit and I got really interested in girls. I had male friends, but I found them to be immature and crass. Most girls were not. I much preferred the company of girls. I'd cringe when a male friend would refer to a girl "being on the rag". That seemed so disrespectful.
        I continue to be fascinated by all things feminine: gynecology, menstruation, pregnancy, and childbirth. I still think women's bodies are far more interesting than men's and I continue wanting to better understand them.
        I've been asked many times what's the fascination with periods. They're so gross. I personally don't find them gross at all. In fact I find them rather sexy. I guess you either get it or you don't.
