Why is everyone all of a sudden so curious as to what comes out of Clem's private areas and how she deals with it?
It's a fantasy game where people still smoke pot and pray to candy bars, I don't think how Clem deals with monthly bleeding is exactly on the writers' concerned list of things.
Because they know it's the closest they can get to objectifying her, while hiding behind the concept of body anatomy.
The truth is, it's ridiculous to be so concerned about something that bleeds for 5 days and doesn't die. Females are immortal.
I wonder if the girls think this much about Gabe's family jewels just as much as the boys wondering about how Clementine will deal with her...menstruation stage.
Or maybe it's some of us that are a bit too curious about characters hitting puberty in the apocalypse.
Blood rushes to the penis ---> not enough blood for the brain ---> passes out from lack of blood in the brain i.e. "world goes dark" bam there you have it
we find it spooky
Dude ditto on the guy stuff. Speaking of which since it got brought up in the episode this is, a very valid discussion. Are boners sometimes a curse?
Does the world really get dark?

And you could say the same with women and men's bodies. Like honestly, what does it feel like to have an external sexual organ that enlarges and becomes erect when aroused?
Why are guys so fascinated by periods anyway?
Because to men, female anatomy is like rocket science
we done don't understand nothing about it
we find it spooky
According to Lilly Caul in one of the novels (novels, not comics, but part of the same canon), women in the zombie apocalypse dip their pads in vinegar to mask the smell of blood so it doesn't attract zombies. This is knowledge that has been passed by the survivors (because women who do not do it end up getting killed by zombies), so I assume someone already told Clem and she is making sure to always be prepared.
That, or her state of physical and emotional distress made her simply not have periods.
During medieval times, some women used a certain type of really absorbant moss called "blood moss", that and rags were the early versions of pad. In addition to that, they tended to wear red should it leak anyways.
So maybe women in TWD went back to the more rudimentary methods if they didn't have the chance to find a menstrual cup or re-usable pads. Periods in time like this should be more scarce and lighter due to malnutrition and stress anyways.
Like honestly, what does it feel like to have an external sexual organ that enlarges and becomes erect when aroused?
Don't even need arousal. Sometimes it just becomes erect because it hates you, and it picks the best times for it too. And there's no real way to get rid of it other than waiting it out and hoping it goes away on it's own.

First of all, her being 14 doesn't actually mean she's started getting periods, as girls start menstruation at different age. Also, I'd assu… moreme her nutrition, diet and style of living aren't exactly healthy for her body. Stress, excessive execise (running away from zombies: check; running away from zombies with a toddler on her back: check) and not enough food combined together can be the reason of why Clementine doesn't have to deal with periods.
However if she does, I'm sure Christa explained it to her and taught how to take care of it.
So it can just "react" for anger, fear, lust, etc.? Maybe I should go punch my hubby and see what happens. rofl No, but seriously, this is all very fascinating.

That is the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life. You poor guys, and I thought having to shave beards all the time and having the higher chance of going bald was bad. Friggin blackout boners are at the top!

Oh no, see when a woman has her period, the walkers don't wanna know because that blood gross. So for a short length of time, women are immune to the undead and it's as effective as the walker guts trick.
Legitimately, this has happened:
Walker:[Shuffles towards Clem] uuuuurh
Clem: On my period.
Walker:[Shuffles away] eeeeeh.
Men have actually been known to disguise themselves as menstruating women to keep the walkers away. Basically it involves gluing packets of tampons and sticking fresh pads to your clothes, and complaining about agonizing cramps while munching chocolate. Doesn't need anything more than that, since the walkers are so stupid, that just the mere mention of doo doos and they gone gone. Even Tripp has done this proudly in sweatpants without having to shave his mighty Thor beard.
With this technique, it could saved lives in the ZA. Strangely though it's not quite caught on yet...
Well boys there are any number of things that she can do...the easiest would be a rag. Though her period could be irregular due to malnutri… moretion. Maybe good luck smiles and she finds a pack of pads somewhere...they really should make a DLC just to teach you guys a friggen lesson. Need something to mask the smell as well, though lately it seems the walkers have converged into herds for the most part...I would also say she may have stayed in Prescott during those days. But it is not like a new problem for women.

If they're ladies they will.
I don't get why people always over-think stuff like this. It's a videogame.

Maybe she's pregnant but just doesn't show.
Or y'know it's a video game so why should anybody care?
Yeah those slippers looks uncomfortable
Swallow what, exactly?
You ok homie?
"Some" guys. Please don't lump us all in that same coocoo for cocoa puffs box with the rest of these kinds of weirdos. Haha
Swallow how.
I know that. That's not what I meant.
"Sounds delightful compared to dealing with bloody underwear."
Bloody underwear confirmed for ep3.
And you could say the same with women and men's bodies. Like honestly, what does it feel like to have an external sexual organ that enlarges and becomes erect when aroused?
No, real ladies spit.
See, this is why I put it in quotation marks. Read the above comment people!

Exactly! The irony is hulk strong.
She's a badass and badasses don't have such problems. Otherwise zambies would sniff out young fresh blood from a mile.
Might of been why she couldn't find the time to teach her how to make a fire like Omid would of.
How do all other women deal with it in an apocalypse anyway?
I'm sure she knew how to make a fire, but it was raining (wet wood) and the whole scene was supposed to be depressing.

Young girl + badassness = no puberty.
With optimism.
Real ladies don't read above quotations, and they swallow.
Why has this thread turned into a sex ed course
or well, more of a sex ed course
No one cares about Gabe's family jewels I think
I was, actually, thinking about that, too. Well, I guess TWD is not so realistic in these situations... but I don't really know.
That sounds like it could be painful
I know right? Now it's so clear! Thanks OfficialMonkey!
That is the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life. You poor guys, and I thought having to shave beards all the time and having the higher chance of going bald was bad. Friggin blackout boners are at the top!
I have a runny nose, I've had to walks miles in the freezing cold, I trod on a piece of lego this morning, you tell me.

Which is funny considering they seem to go for the intestines as soon as possible.
