Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's 'Period SexAnthem'
Not for the faint of heart. Or anyone with a shred of decency, for that matter.

Feminists have a sick fascination with two things – periods and vaginas – and seem to think that speaking about them all the time, and wearing costumes fashioned after them, will somehow bolster their chances of winning the war on the patriarchy.
The latest example of this comes via the show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, which this week featured a “Period Sex Anthem” about the normally private act of menstrual sex, as if it needs to be brought out into the light of day.
From Jezebel:
Rachel Bloom’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend has managed to cover a wide variety of topics that most basic cable TV shows struggle to deal with or entirely ignore, but there’s one that the CW simply wasn’t willing to air: having sex while menstruating.Bloom does sing a few great suggestions for period sex, some I was familiar with, like “put a towel down,” and some that are more revelatory, like “pretend it’s cherry lube.” Also, very interesting that Bloom ends with apologizing for ruining the sheets. In my opinion, when decide to ride the crimson wave, you’re aware you might get splashed. No apologies.
That's Jezebel.com for you: unapologetically tasteless.
The video features the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend star singing the "anthem" alongside clips of the show in which characters words are spliced together to form the phrase "period sex." Lyrics below, but be forewarned -- they're gross:

Lyrics ain't what they used to be. Ira Gershwin is spinning in his grave.
