spoilers for series two
What about, Amy, huh? She DID have sex a couple times, so...she must've got something out of it, right? Maybe she just desired intimacy and it wasn't about the physical feeling. (Or lack thereof.)
So I suppose there are some things Kieren and Simon could get up to, but not...some of the major ones people keep writing about. LOL.
Unless the fic is set after season two, in which case...maybe that does eventually become possible for them. Oh, In the Flesh.Re: spoilers for series two
I'll admit I did wonder how that worked, whether she was able to feel anything so that she could uh, get wet, or if they had to use lube or something and fucking hell I am REALLY CREEPING MYSELF OUT RN.
Haha I haven't even begun delving into ITF fic yet, but I can only imagine the presumed lack of erections is handwaved. I mean I would suppose that they can't since they don't eat or need to go to the bathroom, but they also seem to sleep? So idk if erections are completely off the table. It's not exactly a question that you could ask about in any way that wouldn't be weird as fuck.
Re: spoilers for series two
Yeaaaa, I guess their bodily responses are somewhat cherry picked because you're right, they can sleep (even if they have some trouble with it, at least in the beginning). Still...I can't help but feel like that might be different. IDK, but this is why we need a series 3, we need 'zombie erections: yay or nay?' answered.
(Green-light it, BBC!)
Plus, like I said, if erections aren't on the table right now (and what unfortunate phrasing that is, but I'm gonna leave it) they might be later! If the PDS are truly coming back to life (like Amy with her beating heart), then it stands to reason that would be a possibility too, in time.
Re: spoilers for series two
They're doing their own thing but it's also a bit arbitrary. Personally if I had them not eat I'd also have them not have the need for sleep too, but it's also not something that is hugely important, were just being nitpicky. :P
(We need this information BBC!)
Hahaha, well that phrasing went right by my head. Indeed! The return of a heartbeat means blood flowing through the body again so yay erections! Maybe, I'm putting a strange amount of thought into this.
Re: spoilers for series two
Not sleeping probably would've made more sense, but...do they really need to sleep? I can't recall if it's a necessity. I bet it isn't physically, but psychologically is a different story. If they don't sleep they probably start getting loopy because no one can be conscious indefinitely and not start to go mad. The mind needs rest and relaxation.
(For...science.)
This whole fandom is, probably. (They just don't always include their conclusions in fic.) ...Bet Kieren is going to be a happy boy when he realizes he's got the blood flow back. (He never got to have sex with Rick, and now he's got a hot
undeadboyfriend, so...enjoy your youth, Kieren!)Re: spoilers for series two
Huh, you make a good point, we know they sleep but we don't know if they have to. As you said even if they don't require sleep they probably do because it's what they're used to, I'm wondering though if you were dead if you'd need it since your brain wouldn't be living tissue either, but considering that they're walking corpses it's probably a moot point since that's impossible anyway. And now I'm wondering if PDS sufferers possibly smell bad because of the whole being corpses(but regular humans don't seem bothered so I don't reckon they do, not the non-rabid ones anyway).
(Sexy science?
As if there is any other kind.)Don't waste that hot young man Kieren!
Re: spoilers for series two
And now I'm wondering if PDS sufferers possibly smell bad
That did cross my mind as well, but I'm going to go with...maybe not especially? If they smelled terrible I feel like it would've been brought up; this show has a pretty good sense of humor at times. And, well...if they bathe like normal people, and their bodies aren't decaying like normal zombies would, then...I guess the only thing that would smell is if they had any sort of open wounds that were especially nasty. Though, again, since they aren't actually decaying I don't think it would have a smell to it? God, this is an unusual conversation. (We need to speak to the ITF creator. We need answers to these incredibly important questions.)
