  2. I find this subject so interesting because so rarely people talk about it, and yet I have such a definite pattern. Week of my periods I rarely feel turned on, too much pain, yet find that giving myself an orgasm really alleviates that discomfort. Week after my periods I am usually in love, with my husband, with life, with male beauty wherever I see it. I love making love at this and it is both emotionally and physically pleasurable. After ovulation however, as PMT begins, I become as cranky as hell but my sex drive soars, especially in the week just before my periods. I can have up to 7 orgasms when I masturbate. All this is both good and bad news for my hub....sex mad wife....but constantly saying 'and what exactly did you mean by that!'.....as my PMT purple paranoia sets in. He has to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages and take his chances....lol.”

But there seems to be actually a period just before that that I'm just totally, totally rampant and I just want loads…”
