Sex and the Zombie

[scbubba]

Scratch - In addition to what else was mentioned, she seemed very upset that Tardust and Bricks found a 'girl' without telling her. She could have meant any person and just said girl because that's what Bricks mentioned. But, she sounds focused on the fact that it was a female.

There are quite a bit of sexual references through out the story. The first season treated sex in a silly 8 year old's perspective way. (Sorry KC) For example the scene when Angel and Riley have to strip down to pour water on each other or the preteen-like flirting between Pegs and Michael.

I can't help but to wonder if the events that take place in the center of the arena is some sort of zombie orgy. Riley points out that the zombies exhibt some sort of animal lust when they react to the sweat bottles, and that sex is a powerful drive.

I took Scratch's reaction to them finding "a girl" as being related to her obsession with getting Pegs. Obviously, her right hand man (Tardust) would know that finding "that girl" is a pretty high priority for Scratch.

The zombie sex thing, hmmmm, that just leads down some dark alleys.... *spine crawling*

No need for justifications. I don't ask for this. I just speak up for my mind. And good point: Asking questions for delving deeper and deeper into the characters - sweet - go ahead! Even I have understood that this forum is there for things like this.

I wonder why I feel like I have to justify my complain instead - why? If people seem to be annoyed about what I write, then hit DISAPPROVE on my postings; that's what it is for! (Now, does my rep decrease all of a sudden?) I provided the points, why I see absolutely no reason in discussing something based on weird arguments and which cannot be supported by any given fact from the show itself. It's like discussing for the purpose of discussing only, and not for the content.

I keep the facepalm up on this particular part of the question.

And if I killed the discussion, I'm sorry. Go ahead. Just ignore my rambling and rant. I am out of this thread.

All the best!

lolwut?

Would get too offtopic, wouldn't it?
edit:
And yet: Yesterday this topic just caught me in the wrong moment, and I took things way too seriously. Still: I think the second part of the original posting is absurd; but who am I to question things? Right.

Enjoy.

First of all, I have to disappoint whoever reads this if you considered the thread to be related to the question "Do zombies have a sex life?" Sorry, this will not discussed here, at least by this very first posting.

What is this thread about then? Well, there are two things orbiting around my head for quite a while now. First off, WA (as well as The Walking Dead) depicts killing zombies in pictorial / explicit noisily way. A wide variety of killings (zombie/human) is told throughout the storyline. As a listener, you are able to immerse into the bloodshed, to feel the despair whenever something goes horribly wrong.

However, on the other side, there is a tiny little thing that is only touched upon: sex. Now, I am not a 13 year old teenage boy any more (at least I hope so) and I do not need free swinging breasts in a zombie show to gain interest in following it. It is quite the opposite, but regarding the minute descriptions that go along with the task of depopulate the world of zombies (including all the beloved gory situations: bloodshed, open fractures, torn off arms - you name it) on the one side, sex is not a big issue at all it seems. Yeah, there are Michael and Pegs who occasionally practice vanilla sex - but that is about it except Saul and Lizzy.

So would it be over the top to postulate that in American media, guns are good, bare boobs are bad? Just a thought, waiting for some input from you.

Let me move on to my second question. Is Scratch a completely asexual character? Throughout the series, there is not real indication what or better who arouses her. I do not have any idea. Whether she is hetero-, homo- or bisexual or lives in a happy relationship with her knife (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/object sexuality) - we do not know. I am just asking because, if there is a lust-driven character in WA, it is Scratch. Torturing and killing people is her "thing" which gives her satisfaction Rolling-Stones-style.

That is it, what are your thoughts. And finally, I am happy that I did not mention anything related to Black Hawks.

i'm sorry, i hit free swinging breasts and got lost... sorry, what?

ok, here is my two cents. in the middle of surviving a zombie apocalypse, i'm going to be a little hesitant to drop trou and do the wild thing. i mean really? if you want sex go watch a zombie porno (i'm sure it's out there somewhere). second, we know pegs and michael slept together, and we KNOW liz and saul slept together, what did you want, to listen? i think that would be pretty boring to listen to fifteen minutes of WA sex. we know the acts occured, which is really all we need with this story, the knowledge that those intimate moments transpired between prominent characters and changed their dynamics. as far as the walking dead is concerned, that show is loaded with sex, granted they don't show the sex, but they show the moments leading up to it. what do you want? it's not porn, it's a zombie show. and why are you complaining? a freaking zombie show is actually a running serial on tv, that's like the first ever. so between not listening to sex in the zombie apocalypse on WA, and TWD not being a porno... i'm sorry, where was i going, i read free swinging breasts again... sorry what?

if you want sex go watch a zombie porno (i'm sure it's out there somewhere).

Not sure, if this is a zombie-porno; by I guess it has the potential getting close to it:
