Blackface bad. Redface OK?

Demetra Nyx is taking a unique approach to breaking down period taboos.


This past summer, the 26-year-old sex coach from Los Angeles began smearing her menstrual blood on her face every month. Nyx explained in a recent Medium article that she put her period blood on her face on a whim while creating a video about loving her body.


“Because of the reactions I received, I realized this was a radical thing,” she wrote, adding that the blood is actually great for her skin and makes an awesome face mask.


“If I take something many people find disgusting and I touch it and play with it and smear it all over my face,” Nyx said in her piece,  ” then maybe some little girl, somewhere, will see the blood between her legs and think, ‘Well if Demetra puts it on her face, maybe this isn’t that gross after all.’”

Alternatively maybe the little girl will see Dementra and think ....'She really suits that name'.

She may be what we sometimes refer to as "touched".

Over here, we would say she's a DICKHEAD !

What some folk will do for publicity, eh?

Use of menstrual blood is a bit kinky, but there is truth to the claim that your own blood rubbed on skin is good for the skin.

There is now a dermatological cream, made from your own blood.  It's called "blood-infused skin care", and labeled Strum's Cream...sold for $1,400 per oz.

Oh fuck off you silly cow!

Menstrual blood and menstruating women were and still are in some cultures considered extremely powerful, hence why the idea seems to have morphed into some sort of uncleanliness in some cultures, where women are secluded from the general population at such times, either in badly, specially built places or old ruined buildings, how easy it is for humans to get the wrong end of things especially if encouraged by so called holy people.

Well, he may think "two girls, one cup" was kinky.

Will this help I don't know, maybe, the way the whole outlook of this natural function has changed in most cultures over the the years from powerfully magical to something not spoken about and unclean could well change to something that is neither of these things but only perfectly natural.

If we're talking about Nature's view, she has dogs lick their own butts. She don't care.

I get where you’re coming from but smearing it on your face is just BLOODY awful.
See what I just did there?

We need to take comments like this out of circulation; it could bruise our image.
