From the Department of TMI:
I can generally predict the onset of my period, give or take a day or two, purely by physical changes in my body when I am ovulating. I have known how to do that since I was still in high school.
It has taken me a hell of a lot longer to realize that I can also track my menstrual cycle -- less accurately, but even so -- by my interest in reading and writing PWP porn fic, which is perhaps unsurprisingly at its peak two weeks before the inevitable blood and cramps. *headdesk* (Although curiously enough, that interest has a secondary peak during my period itself. Hormones. How do they even work?)
...
This observation brought to you by the untitled Homestuck Jane/Dave breast-worship time-travel-abuse porn I just wrote ~1,000 words of tonight. What the fuck is even my life.
*headesks again*
*then slinks off to write more porn*
ETA: The fic is now at 1,650 words, elements of light bondage have entered the picture, and I am going to bed.

Date: 2013-10-01 02:30 am (UTC)It's actually more weird to me that I have periods of really strongly wanting to read porn at all than that they're hormonally linked. Generally my attitude is more like, "Oh look, another sex scene. I guess that's cute, but can we get back to the plot and character stuff now?" and I rarely even open fics that only have sex and no other elements, but then suddenly it's all, "Oh look, sex! And also sex! And nothing but sex! Yes, good, tell me more..." which is, you know, kind of a dramatic switch. *wry* I think it might be restful not to ride such swings.
