A lot of dudes keep track of their girlfriend's periods, because every month there is one "safe" weekend where you can have unprotected sex and get away with it.
This is sometimes called the "Rhythm Method" or "Fertility Awareness" and a lot of men have self-interested reasons for wanting to know this about a woman.
There is a history of apps optimized for this purpose. Some wholesome for married couples to use, and some for skeezy bachelors who want to track multiple women.

- H8crilA 7y ago> and some for skeezy bachelors who want to track multiple women Isn't this crazy - the amount of work people would put in just to have occasional unprotected sex. People are animals.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoIt's not crazy. Sex is one of the most fundamental and powerful desires we have. What's actually crazy, in a mostly positive way, is how much control we've managed to achieve over it at individual and social level.
- marvin 7y ago> People are animals Well, yes, we're really just pretending otherwise. Also agree with TeMPOralL's sentiment :)
- bakuninsbart 7y agoWowowow, isn't it like 10 days that are safe? I might be in very risky territory here.
- tremon 7y agoWithin the span of ten days, you can be sure there is at least one weekend.
