I feel like it would be pretty weird and borderline offensive if I asked men how boners or "blue balls" effect their everyday lives so I can know how to RP men more "realistically," or if I wanted an in-depth discussion about circumcision in Eorzea because I really wanted to know if my character should be circumcised. I can't say I've ever found myself wondering these things when playing a male character.Well since we live in a world where we have much more comfort in discussing the mechanics of the masculine organ than we do of the feminine (the slang term we have for female arousal is "ladyboners" for pete's sake!) I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that it's hard to come up with "how would my character feel for 1/4 of her sexually mature life" if the player has not experienced a red tide of their own. Â And in the OP they did clarify that they were also wondering about the masculine equivalent (tho we all know it is overshadowed in the intent of the thread).Â

Not from their ovaries, I can tell you that much.
Tho I may be biased due to my need to destroy the disproportional discomfort folks have over the mere idea of periods. '3'
And yeah, I agree with you that it shouldn't be a big deal for a DRK. Â At most the magical stamina (or maximum MP) could be raised a bit for 3-4 days and then go back to normal without a single word about the condition of her laundry, or a warrior would opt for big swings with their character rooted more often to minimize discomfort that comes from jerky motions. Â But those are the extremes I would really bother to take it. Â A tiny bit of flavor to acknowledge that time is passing, and that's all it should really be.
