a man's wife and his mistress' menstrual cycles will sometimes sync

Is this true? Bring your A game. I do not believe it but I have gotten some interesting comments from a friends facebook. We debated until the next day…:slight_smile:

Welcome to the board, jstacy4444. All I can say about this is it sounds like a variation on menstrual synchrony. Cecil’s written about that twice that I know of and it doesn’t sound like there is anything to it. If you’re interested, the columns are Do the menstrual cycles of women living together tend to synchronize? and Does menstrual synchrony really exist?

I’m moving your thread to General Questions from Great Debates. You may get a better answer there.

Why would they match? If wife and mistress don’t even know each other? Even the theory that they’re somehow unconsciously adjusting their cycles for the same man would not make sense – men are always in season.

Pheromones carried on his body, I assume. The wife’s pheromones get to the mistress through him & vice versa. I think the relevant pheromones are carried in sweat.

in about once out of 28 cases.

More like one in four. Menstrual periods last a few days, and if any two women have theirs in the same week, they’re likely to overlap at least partially. As Cecil’s articles point out, menstrual “synchrony” does not appear to have a statistically significant occurrence any greater than random chance.

Will sometimes sync? Of course they will – all women’s cycles sometimes sync, just as all cycles do when they’re not EXACTLY the same length. Then they go out of sync again.

Now, if your friend is denying that last part, he’s full of crap.

My wife jumped 2 weeks to match my mistress. I was with my mistress mid wife cycle, then my wife got here period 2 weeks early, called the mistress…sure as shit she was on her period… nature is amazing. It makes it real difficult to always have a girl on the ready…going to see if more of them sync as i aquire them… i will keep you posted

Somebody tell him.

Where do you buy them? I looked in my local store and they were right out, said they weren’t expecting any in till… well, ever.

You mean about the zombie menstrual cycles?

so, we should expect a visit from you monthly? I’ll write that on my pad.

No, I think it means one week out of four he’ll be busy on other websites.

thatnepaguy, we ask that old threads only be bumped to add new factual information. Since this is an anecdote that doesn’t contribute very much, I’m closing this.
