This sounds like some weird fantasy from a guy who doesn't understand what a period is and what it entails.
Normally, many women (myself included) experience the phenomenon of our period "stopping," while bathing. It doesn't actually stop, but instead the amount of water is greater than the amount of blood that exits. Remember, our period last for 3 - 7 days (a few drops or uterine lining clumps every 15-30 minutes, more or less), so by no means should our blood leave our body in a thick, steady stream, not enough to see it a small pool of blood while showering. If by some chance you are a girl, get that check out by your GYN.
I didn't write this, but I see my blood flowing through the water on the first couple days of my period. I also have extremely painful periods and I sometimes start to fall from how heavy it is on my second day so I knew it was heavier than other girl's periods, I just didn't know other girl's periods were so light that they don't see their blood in the shower water.
What worries me is the pain you feel and how heavy you've describe your flow. Please talk to your GYN. Not saying all women should be the same, but periods are suppose to be a mild inconvenience at it's worse, not debilitating. It shouldn't soak through maxi pads/tampons right away and cause extreme amounts of pain.
The blood only flows within the first 5-10 minutes of being in the shower, after that the flow doesn't start again until I get out. I don't consider this much blood as unnatural because my last several periods were like next to nothing. Maybe I should get it checked out...
Girls, is this normal?

These last couple of months I've noticed that my periods were much heavier than usual. I'm now taking iron supplements.
