    Left side as an expectation is Most confusing and this is coming from a woman. We’re you lead to expect the left side? Was there some bad sexual education circulating? This sounds a bit like ai prompt but it looks like an actual human put in the work on this one. Which is concerning what else they were mislead on

    If your body is getting ready to shed cells, it’s a not going to glow with life, or give you big tits… Why would it, it’s about loss. I’m a guy, but I think this comic has menstration confused with ovulation.

    Of course your going to look like a zombie and be cranky… It’s shedding time!

    I’m a guy, so maybe it’s because I’m not a woman, but I definitely don’t understand the joke here. Does anyone actually expect the left side? I’ve quite literally never once heard anything to suggest that pms is some sort of a positive experience (definitely not a “sexy” one).

      Hello, I’m a woman so let me confirm: No, nobody. Some people expect slightly bigger boobs or they know they get a libido peak right before the period, but that’s about it.

      Probably there is a minority that engages successfully in period sex and looks forward to it, but that would be niche, not something you’d expect most people to relate to.

      Never heard anyone say they expect silky hair right before their period, or the skin glow. Most people expect bloating to some degree, I haven’t heard anyone looking forward to it either.

      So yeah TLDR some of these things can be true for some people but rarely all and you would hardly call the half on the left “relatable”.

        Thanks for the reply. That lines up more with what I thought I knew generally (not only about my partner). It seems like the artist tried to set themselves up for some sort of a joke, and I don’t think it landed
