Hello, first of all it's great to have the forum back up and running!
I've been a long time lurker. I'm a guy who's disabled by cerebral palsy. Have been turn on by periods ever since overhearing two of my grade school disabled girls classmates talk about they needed help changing their pads. Remember them saying something how the helper had to pin the pad into place. At the time I just was learning about periods by overhearing some of this stuff. This was something like 40 years ago.
Always had this fantasy of taking care of disabled women and when learning about periods it became a giant part of my desire.
I'm just wondering if many male care givers have to take care of disabled women's periods.

I think I can answer that. When I was 16 I was hospitalized for three months, often under very heavy sedation. (Long story, some other time maybe). There were male and female nurses, patient advocates, nutritionists, doctors, you name it. No question I had at least two periods while I was in their care. I also had to use bedpan because the medication made it nearly impossible for me to stand any length of time. So did a male nurse ever take care of my menstruation? I know at least one did because he apologized for waking me to change the pad and give me a spongebath (at 7 am). The thing is, I don't for minute believe that a dedicated nurse, or any caregiver, would think of NOT doing this for a person in their care, and they would also NOT think it was weird, or kinky, or anything. I had catheters put in and removed by a male nurse and they were sometimes more gentle than the females. Taking care of another person is a tiring, challenging, and ultimately satisfying job if it's done with compassion. Wiping up after a bowel movement, picking food out of their teeth, blowing their nose, and changing a sanitary pad, is just part of the job.
