--- Quote from: HannahRose on 04 Feb 2015, 22:34 ---It occurs to me that no where near the same number of people seemed to be as critical or concerned about Marten having a one night stand a while back with Tai's friend, nor were there as many complaints about him hooking up with Padma so soon after they'd met. This makes me wonder why, exactly, Claire and Marten doing whatever is such a big kerfuffle in comparison in some people's minds. When it comes right down to it, Claire is 24, Marten is 26, and whatever they want to do, or how soon they want to do it is up to them to decide as consenting, sober adults.

And for it being Claire's first relationship, I present counter-argument Marigold/Dale. They had anime weekend, CoD makeout session, and Marigold having a medical emergency that torpedoed their first official date. I remember a lot of jokes about pancakes, but nowhere near as much criticism of it being "too soon". In fact it was specifically addressed in-comic with Marigold asking Momo for reassurance and Momo telling her that it's her business and no one else's when she chose to start having sex with her boyfriend (obviously, boyfriend gets a say, but I seriously doubt Dale was judging Marigold there). Marten's shown time and again that he's respectful of consent and that if his partner says she wants to wait, he'll wait.
I can understand the argument that Claire's first time should be, if not something special, at least about her and Marten instead of Marten needing comfort after dealing with Faye. But not having relationship experience doesn't mean not being able to say "I'm not ready" or "We shouldn't do this now."

I can't believe I forgot about Maridale as an example, but that is perfect... Thank you. haha
Omega Entity:
To be fair, that one struck me as a bit rushed, too :wink:
Is it cold in here?:
Hannah, you do have forum rules acknowledging the same things you've said: https://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,27423.msg1205549.html#msg1205549 . Among other things, my post there was an attempt to short-circuit some of the Far Too Frequently Asked Questions that even the ambassadorial types get tired of seeing.
Please do PM with suggestions for any changes you see as necessary or advisable.

An unresponsive Pintsize, who has been placed in Marten's room for safekeeping, wakes up.
"Oh man, what happe-"

I wonder what place it would have on the AnthroPC-only message board

I doubt that they're much interested in human gland-games, except for the weirdos on /h/.

That actually made me laugh. Now my co-workers think I'm a weirdo :psyduck:
Sooo.. it's just used for blackmail?
Loki:
Oh please. First GF and I had our first date (which was also our first meeting ever) and were almost cuddling by the end of it.
For our third date one week later, I took her up to a really romantic place, and viscious makeouts were had.
Were we moving too fast? Too bad.
