A friend remarked to me recently how there seems to be a lack of menstrual fetish porn. There's plenty of pissing porn out there, so why not that main female event that happens but once a month?
My friend guessed that:
A. Men are afraid of it.
B. Lesbians don't create demand for it because they "don't watch as much porn as some of them claim."
I think he's right on A, I'm not sure about B, but I'd add a C: It's still seen as too private of a bodily function to venture into the sexy realm. Men, and even women, haven't gotten comfy enough with it.
Other bodily functions have become relatively open and public. Take urine for example. Your besodden neighbor pees, unabashed, on your fence while serenading his cat at 5 in the morning, men do it openly on reality TV, 8-year-olds tell jokes about it, and porn sites present it as a sexual shower.
I haven't seen any cases of public menstruation, unless you count the occasional sneak-attack on a woman who left home without a tampon.
My post pornographic experience with my own menstrual blood was when my art-school boyfriend at the time decided it was perfect for making a finger painting on my stomach.
How did I feel about this? Like letting a toddler complete a somewhat messy art project because it will help with his creative development. More like craft time than a sex act.
Maybe what we have here is a solution for the hipster who wants to project how totally down with that time of the month he is ... and who also can't afford art supplies.
