BenRG:
Sex for reproduction (and as 'marital duty) and sex for enjoyment, unfortunately, can be founded on very different parts of the psyche.

My reading was that Yay was uncomfortable in discussing their own interest in sex with "Mom-vibes" Aurelia, not that Aurelia is interested in sex.
snubnose:
Err ... I never said being into older people is creepy. Though re-reading it, I guess my last statement could indeed be read that way. I just find it quite rude to state that you merely want to f*** a person. Not hit on them or romance them etc. The whole concept of one night stands goes kind of over my head. I wouldnt know how to emotionally handle that.

IMHO it mostly really just shows that Jeph doesnt do the research on such things. *shrug*

--- Quote from: John Allenson on 01 Dec 2021, 21:06 ---While it's my headcanon that Yay is aroace, that might not be so. Aurelia is crossing some pretty insensitive boundaries here.
--- End quote ---
Not aro (and ftr I don't think Aurelia's boundary crossing here is that bad as long as she backs off now that Yay's made their discomfort known, which I'm sure she will), but as an ace who feels a bit uncomfortable and isn't sure how to respond when people try to get me to talk about my "fantasies" or "type" or whatever other [generally heteronormative] expectations, those two things aren't mutually exclusive. I haven't been in one of those situations since starting to accept what I've sort of always known about myself, so a lot of that discomfort did come from feeling like I was failing to person right, but even now, I've barely started with the self acceptance baby steps and don't want to have to either give vague non-answers or suddenly have some sort of "coming out" conversation. Even someone who's totally comfortable with all aspects of their orientation shouldn't have to do that if they don't feel like it.
--- Quote from: BenRG on 01 Dec 2021, 23:04 ---Down Aurelia. Sex may be another way to avoid having to deal with all the problems you're having with Claire (and Claire's own problems in specific). However, I'm pretty sure that jumping a friend like that is inappropriate and likely counter-productive.

I don't get this reading that Aurelia was expressing sexual interest in Yay. Her questions were about sex, but they didn't seem suggestive of anything. (And I'm ace, not oblivious, lol.)

Panel 2 is definitely indicative of attempting to be seductive, both verbally and non-verbally. Maybe only teasingly but as she's drunk and high, she may not be thinking things through.
