Ugh honestly i get that this is bl but i wish they’d just accept that maybe tamaki really is asexual cause it explains alot about his dislike for sex. They could just carry on and have a relationship minus the sex to give leeway to tamaki’s discomfort. But idk that’s just my opinion.
I want to make a note, that asexuality, as a result of trauma, is still asexuality. It's not entirely rare for something like that to occur, but people just have to be careful when keeping that possibility in mind, because otherwise some people might say that all asexuals are trauma induced, which is certainly not the case. it just happens to be the case with Tamaki.
i actually think the way they addressed it was the right way?? like takumi said he could be asexual but also who actually knows their sexuality in high school and acknowledges that its not easy to just label a person as one thing (especially when the only one who can confirm that is tamaki). also in general his dislike of sex is in no way a mystery lol we know hes had a lot of trauma when it came to sex
Well 1. He didn't mind it therefore there is potential because he's always been the extremely cautipus type, never wanting to break out of what teh world told him to do.
2. Asexuality is flexible like any other label in that it follows a general guideline and leaves room for specifics. Definition/guideline: Someone who can still be able to have romantic feelings for someone (unless they also aromatic), but don't find interest in sex/intercourse (the extent of what someone may be confortable with depends on the person). Greysexual and demisexual are labels for people in between asexual and sexual. Whether a sexuality results from trauma though usually it wouldn't have to, it is used to describe the fact that they simply like something or simply not like something. Take Banana Fish for example. One of the characters has extensive trauma from being forced into sexual acts that he lost all interest in it. Even though it is a result of trauma it is valid because he no longer has interest, maybe even a distaste for it. That's why that character and his partner's relationship was the asexual kind. Their bond was romantic. The main thing that annoyed me in this chapter was that just like many people may misunderstand, Takumi described asexuality as spmeone straight up not being able to fall in love. LIKE THAT HAS ITS OWN LABEL PPL (aromantic). Asexual's the one with "sex" in it so yh, that one morr substantially means not having an interest in sex/intercourse.
Also: Asexual more specifically means not being sexually ATTRACTED to people. Even if someone may not find anyone appealing that they would feel sexual desire for them, if they let's say like getting off with another person/the act of sex itself, they could still have sex to an extent. Someone could have a high sex drive but be fine with masturbation and not be interested in sex. You can see how there are many sides to one label. I myself am greysexual/demisexual. Even if I might have interest in sex and am capable of being sexually attracted to someone, I don't find interest in doing it with someone I don't have great interest in and feel at ease with. Finding someone like that isn't common for me.
Ok i totally get it, coming out to someone you barely know is terrifying especially when you dont know how they’re gonna react so i understand the not telling yanagi abt asumi part. But what pisses me off the most is how naruse accepted yanagi’s invitation when he’s well aware that asumi is not comfortable with him hanging out with yanagi. That’s fucked up man.
watch the author not continue the kiss n bait us into thinking they’re gonna kiss <///3 shounen ais are such a tease
