Would you rather keep the appointment or reschedule? I usually have two days when I don't want to take appointments and I embarrass the few days off catching up on stuff I need to do or just relaxing. Years ago I had a few clients who would loved to book those couple days a fetish of some sort. At the time if they were into it then why not. These days I only take appointments when I'm feeling heathy and 100% .

I pretty much never give that as a reason.  I'll say I'm sick or sometimes a family problem (Aunt Flo, Ha!) because fantasy women get colds and have families, but no periods! The horror!

Those I've never seen before would likely tell me they are booked on those days, or otherwise unavailable.  The few that I've gotten to know well and have seen regularly are totally honest with me about that time of the month, and I respect them even more for their honesty.  Sometimes they ask if I'd seem them at that time, and sometimes I have, and other times we both decided to reschedule for her comfort.

My favorite euphemism is from an Eastern European provider I'm friends with, who grew up during the communist days.  She'd always say that "the Red Army is coming".

Any woman having to work on her period plus lie about it, is not very good at money management. I have provided for a good seven years and have never had to work those 3-4 days. And, I have NEVER been like OMG my period just started. I generally know a few days before it's coming. FYI, there is a sea sponge that many women can use where you will not know one way or the other. I have used them in personal life and guys still went down on me with no difference in smell or taste... one has to know how to really clean before putting a sponge in. I think you and any other guy this happens to is owed a partial refund or at least the damn truth. Good lord.

An old saying from my college days, "You can tread the Red River Canyon but you cannot drink from it".  Gross enough for everyone  this morning?
