Generally, I use a hot water bottle for the cramps, and lots of Advil. I also use birth control, because that will actually reduce or get rid of your period entirely (this may take a month or two to fully kick in, but it is SOOO much better than before)

I am pretty new to my current relationship, and although we've already had sex (and he was my first) I want to try a lot of things. However, we both took the BDSM test, and while I scored very, very kinky, he scored 98% vanilla. How can I ask him to try new things without putting him off or scaring ...
