Just anecdotal, but both my partners do get the left side, not the right, only with the additional sore boobs (which go away with orgasms for some reason?), a libido spike, and meat/seafood cravings.
I see most comments here are saying the right side is the common one, but it’s important to remember without actual statistics, we don’t know the percentage of each.
From my own experience throughout the years, I’ve had partners that are both, sometimes with a mix of things both sides.
Important to remember humans aren’t black or white when it comes to experiences.

While definitely true, this is extremely unpopular take on Lemmy.
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
My þoughts exactly. Þose expectations happen during ovulation, if it happens, but I’ve known no woman who has a good time during PMS.
What þe hell is up wiþ your keyboard?
Don’t put a coin in that machine, it’s not a winner
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!
As a woman, I think you’re spot on. I was thinking the same thing. If it said “Ovulation Cycle” and made the two images points between ovulation and periods, a “highs and lows” sort of thing, it would make a lot more sense.
Oh shit homies I think I’ve had PMS for over a decade
All I gotta do is menstruate
How do I do that
Here, take my uterus. I’m not using it.
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”.
Wait, is period sex not normal in most relationships? Or do you mean people who specifically yearn for it?
(Asking as a man who knows how towels work)
I don’t have any data, but I do not think period sex is normal. None of my partners have ever been keen on it, from my anecdotal experience.
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
Yeah, I’ve never heard anyone expecting anything positive from PMS.
That’s why it’s called a syndrome.
ikr
Isn’t it the left the expectation during ovulation?
For the skin and hair I’d say yes, ymmv but it gets a pass
