Who else feels unattractive on their period

When I'm on my period I feel like ugly Betty and feeling sexy is imaginary. The men in my life don't make it any better. My SO is grossed out by blood altogether so period sex is most def out of the question. However, we've talked about periods from time to time and he's trying his best to come around to being comfortable. He understands that I'm a woman and I can't control it, so I try my best to educate him about it whenever I can. Does anyone else have this problem?
