The practice of observing, recording & interpreting bodily signs associated with the menstrual cycle. These signs include waking body temperature taken orally under the tongue every morning & cervical fluid observed on toilet paper after wiping across the vaginal opening. These signs are recorded in a simple chart - hence why this practice is often called cycle charting.
Cycle charting can yield health insights & allow people who menstruate to identify the days during their cycle when unprotected sex could lead to pregnancy. If they're trying to avoid pregnancy they can use barriers (condoms or a diaphragm) on those days & enjoy deliciously natural sex on all other days of their cycle. This is called the sympto-thermal fertility awareness method. It's 99.6% effective with perfect use & is *not* the same as the old-fashioned calendar rhythm method. It's currently being embraced by lots of crunchy people who aren't wanting to use hormonal contraception. It's secular & pro-choice.
Cycle charting is also not the same as period tracking. Period tracking is simply noting the days of menstruation. This information can be used to guesstimate approximately when your next period might be due but it can't give insights into your overall cycle nor can it be used to avoid pregnancy effectively.

Since coming off the pill I've become totally obsessed with cycle charting! I love being more in touch with my body and being able to avoid pregnancy without having to use condoms every day of my cycle.

5. Repeat
Don't let keegan's half-assed attempts at renaming this "the chris cycle" fool you, only he could make an argument this retarded.

A period (no pun intended) of 6 or 7 days per month when a man is extra emotional and much harder to get along with.

Having sexual intercourse with individuals born in four different decades. Hitting the cycles in order (for example 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s) is known as a Straight Cycle.

This phrase relates to a series of urination and bowel movement feats. The phrase is derived from the baseball term of "hitting for the cycle" where a player hits for a single, double, triple, and home run in the same game. The concept here is the same. You must "hit for the cycle" in the same house or apartment in one night. Follow the steps below to ensure you'll never be invited back to their place again:
Single: Pee off a balcony or ledge.
Double: Piss like a little kid onto a fence or wall (ex. have your pants around your ankles while you pee in public).
Triple: Urinate in a closet.
Home Run: Do an upper decker (The act of defecating in the upper tank of the toilet)

"Bruce is only a double shy of hitting for the cycle!"
"Three people have hit for the cycle at Kay's in the past two months. I don't think she's going to throw another party anytime soon."
