Zebediah:
It’s not surprising that Brun’s sexual experiences weren’t terribly impressive to her. Sex is a skill like any other; you probably won’t be very good at it the first few times you do it. I’m guessing that her partner wasn’t very experienced either, which wouldn’t have helped. And it sounds like her motivation was primarily curiosity about the experience rather than actual desire for her partner. So yeah, it likely would have been awkward and frustrating and possibly painful. Not something she’d care to repeat. If she was already inclined to be asexual, that kind of experience would only have reinforced that inclination.

Mental and health issues can actually impact a person’s ability to feel sexual or attempt to have a relationship. I think that is part of why the use of label bothers me beyond labeling a broad group of people—aside from the fact I have seen and felt how being lumped into a label can hurt.

I'd just like to point out that health does indeed affect libido, but sexual attraction is a different thing. There is a specific kind of attraction that involves people theoretically wanting to do something more than just keep looking at another good looking person, even if they aren't feeling it with actual partners right now. That's something nobody ever feels the need to explicitly say, so I never knew, so despite the fact that I was aware of my libido just floating around sans target at times, and I knew what it was like for it to go away in a period of deep depression and then not be gone later, I assumed that I must have an issue with my sex drive and that was why I didn't feel these things that every societal message was screaming I was supposed to feel. I knew deep down that it wasn't true, which just made me feel even more broken and wrong. And honestly, it just sucks balls for people to attach the concept of asexuality to a medical problem. I get what you're saying about it being complicated for people to tell because the information isn't out there and people are complex beings, and I do agree about fandom declarations of characters' sexual orientations, but it also hurts for people who have realized a certain label fits them to see yet more reinforcement of the idea that something is wrong with them for it.

Magniras:
...That's how I'd describe a lot of sexual experiences I've had. Huh.

"...a couple people..."
I have this mental picture of Brun clinically analysing the performance and saying "I didn't quite catch all of that - I'll have to try it again, with someone else, to get enough data points..."

--- End quote ---

BRUN: complete deadpan and very flatly "One or both of us is very bad at this. That wasn't very long and I do not have enough datapoints to determine which. Please pick up a calisthenics routine to improve your stamina."

EDIT: Improving script format.

snubnose:
Hmm.

Instead of trying to determine with utter conviction on perfectly insufficient data what sexuality Brun might possibly have, what about speculating about future romances ?


After all, theres some interesting candidates around:

Brun and who ? - though maybe not, if she's indeed supposed to be asexual. Still, she's certainly a more interesting candidate than the very linear and boring Renee romance.

Hanners and who ? - she seems to have had some big breakthroughs recently, so maybe that becomes an option ?

Sven and who ? - he tries so hard to grow ... so does this go anywhere ?

Momo and who ? - she definitely also is tipping her toe into the pool, after all she fancies Sven.

May and who ? - though I think it will be a while before that one actually does any romance, if ever.

Raven and who ? - ... at least I would love to have her back ...
