If you slept with a zombie, would you become a zombie, via std?

sorry, but its puzzled me for ages.

You've sat and thought about sex with a zombie?

Everyone is infected and will become a zombie anyway.

If you're asking if sleeping with a zombie would kill you, then you're a strange person.

I guess it depends if you scratched your... Ok, we need to stop right now.

[GarryDK]

It would be pretty dry.

[hornetrider]

Well you wouldn't need to find the actual hole would you. Just make one of your own.

...too far?

[moanthebairns]

I heard aids started when someone shagged a monkey. Could it be the same with the zombie disease.

[Digitalize]

In general infectious Zombie case, probably. But in TWD everyone's infected so no. The only way a Walker turns them is by killing them.

I'm curious to know the difference between how the virus exists 'dormant' in humans until they die at which point it activates, and the virus that acts almost immediately when bitten by a walker.

I think the really geeky stuff like this we'll never really know.. The last real mention was in the CDC ages ago. Does anyone know, without spoilers if possible, if the comics touch on the virus background and details any more than the show?

Everyone has the virus. It's 'activated' when you die.

Having a zombie eat your liver and heart causes your death, thus activating the virus?

Magic. It works by magic, those are the rules, you suspend disbelief and accept the rules of the fictional universe.

Trying to figure out how it would work in reality when the scenario is not remotely physiologically credible is a pointless exercise.

And having sex with one?

[moanthebairns]

can zombies have babies? if you are pregnant and bitten, does that mean your child also becomes a zombie?

If it was properly restrained, and sufficient lubrication was used then the only risk really would be a transmitted disease that caused death - since the zombie disease is already present

Don't be silly.

Oh I know that, but what about people that get one bite then die of the fever? The virus must be more volatile after it's been 'activated' when the living host dies.

I know, but that's kinda why it's annoying in that the earlier episodes touched on the science behind it, I keep mentioning the CDC episodes because they did actually explain it.

Also, whether it's credible or not, it's not on par with some something like Dawn Of The Dead where 'when there's no room in hell, the dead walk the earth' (100% impossible), it's more akin to 28 Days Later, for example.

Depends if you get horny by the sound of someone spooning out a large portion of jelly

What flavour jelly are we talking about.

Rule No1: If you end up in a sexual relationship with a walker... never ask to be 'noshed off'.

Yes. The CDC eps were very good. Partly because they were chatting to a real scientist who actually had a bit of an inkling into just what the fk was going on.
Since he died, everyone else has been like bumping into PHers, just a load of silly arses.

I hope being in DC we meet another CDC type environment.
