On one of the regional boards, a hobbyist was (understandably, in my opinion) upset that his provider did not reveal that fact that she had her period until midway through the date when he wanted to move beyond BJs.  

Separating the issue of mis-representation by the provider, I wondered what activities are safe or off limits during the monthly curse.  Is sex with a condom any riskier if the woman is menstruating?  Is there a higher level of bacteria or other pathogens in menstrual blood than in regular vaginal lubrication or secretions?  While DATY might not be appealing at that momentn(speaking personally, at least) is it riskier at different times of the month?

Providers, are you more or less "arousable" just before, during, or after your period?  Do you tend to take a few days off, or go with the flow with a more limited menu?  Are you upfront with the reason why if you decline a date, or prefer to keep it private with "not feeling well" or something similar?  

Just curious how individuals work around or with this natural occurrence.  Thanks.

I'll be interested to hear the ladies' response. This became an issue for me on a recent trip to New York. Provider initially canceled our appointment due to a visit from Aunt Flo. She was honest about it, didn't make up some crazy excuse, and I appreciated that. But I really wanted to see her, so I said fuck it. I don't care. Come over anyway. She did, the next night, and we had a great time. The cover was bloodied but didn't break. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, as long as the gal is up for it!  

In the old days (late '80s--early '90s) I was made aware on several occasions that the girl was menstruating.  In those cases, she simply inserted a sponge and carried on as usual.  I assume it's the same today, at least in some cases.

Being a provider that has Aunt Flo that visits still, I have to say I always tell the gentlemen that I am bleeding or its time for or it just ended etc.  I dont want any surprises and I definately dont want anyone upset over their experience. Also I dont think its fair of me to not be able to be fully available.  I have found that by being upfront and  honest very few guys care or we just reschedule to my off time.

Now as for the other part of the question...for me....I get super aroused during that time....Im super sensitive everywhere(yes I know..more so than normal and my normal is already extreme) and I just cant seem to get enough.

personally i take a few days off....
as much as i like to have fun i can't stand dealing with limitations
too bad though cuz im a wild kitten during that time & CRAVE c0ck endlessly
if something is set up unfortunately i'll cancel until im ready to play!!!

as for providers...there's something better!!!
go to your typical rite aid and in the gruesome aisle of tampons & such you'll see a white & pink box on the top shelf. look for the product named INSTEAD...it's like a soft cup and you slide it in & your ready to go. weird feeling at first but holds a lot more than pads/sponges....plus easy clean up & you're boy toy wont notice. push it out when your done & no more searching for sponges with your tweezers...lol i've heard enough horror stories so that's why i just rather wait it off!!!
