If a dominant's reply is welcome here....

my girl is going through her monthly bout of PMS at the moment. It's hormonal, and there isn't much either of us can do to stop them, however, there are ways to reduce the impact of PMS, at least for us.

We reduce the effects in the following way. Miner's_girl asks for permission to take a warm shower. In winter, she finishes by putting on my dressing gown (yes, we have central heating, but there are drafts, and it is winter in the northern hemisphere - she does it naked in warm weather, though she finds wearing my dressing gown comforting). She returns to the living room and lies over the pouffe at my feet, bottom up. Fifteen to thirty minutes is usually enough to calm her hormones and put her in a much less grrrish mood.

Spanking is not an option during her period - she gets highly sensitive, and spanking and clamping are very uncomfortable for her. When she feels grrish outside her PMS cycle, a spanking is added. Note, the spanking is not a punishment. A good spanking always puts a huge smile on her face (and mine).
