I started learning because I have daughters. The best thing I did was make period products normal in the house and not act uncomfortable. Boys and men should learn because it helps them become better partners, fathers, brothers and coworkers. It should not be a mysterious topic.

Answers & Discussion
The tone matters. 'Can I ask something so I understand better?' feels very different from joking or acting grossed out. Also remember that periods are not the same for everyone. Some people barely notice them, and others are in real pain. Do not assume one answer covers all women.
Start with basic educational sources before asking personal questions. It is fine to be curious, but women should not always have to teach the basics. Learn what a cycle is, what cramps are, what pads and tampons do and why symptoms vary. Then if you ask someone, ask with respect and accept if they do not want to discuss it.
