[essay] Sex and romance
YURI PETROV'S NON-EXISTANT LOVE/SEX LIFE aka reasons why he won't get laid other than because he's a loser that lives in his mom's basement
OKAY. To start, I don't think he's asexual. I do think, however, that he's aromantic, but that's just probably me being incapable of picturing him in a healthy romantic relationship without it being a massively AU version of him.
For all intents and purposes, he appears asexual. I believe that he does get sexually attracted to people, but most of the time he just represses/suppresses it because it gets in the way of JUSTICE!!!! or something. I don't know if I'm making sense or not.
BASICALLY, his sex drive (which exists) is overridden by his general dislike of people, and he probably started suppressing himself from a young age, so he doesn't even know how to let him go at this point. His sex drive is being so actively repressed that is has pretty much ceased to exist. Any sexual attraction he might feel towards anyone is quickly stomped on and put out by his own active desire to not feel sexual attraction/desire for anyone. If he weren't such a misanthropist, I could see him getting frustrated and going for a one night stand, but he dislikes people too much to try even that, so he's probably a virgin and will remain a virgin until he...stops thinking with the mindset he's in. Which might be never.
With that said, he doesn't really...get the big deal about sex? He's not embarrassed by it, but he doesn't get why everyone is so obsessed with it or not being able to have it. He's managed to do okay by punching every one of his urges into submission, so why can't other people do it? Weak-willed individuals with their false justice blah blah blah talky-talk.
If he didn't actively suppress and repress himself, I...don't actually know what he'd be attracted to. I have biases because I pair him with people, but those biases are not accurate to canon, to say the least. Generally, romance and attraction will never be an issue for him in Camp, so that doesn't really need an answer. But if he had healthier ways of coping/dealing/managing his sexual attraction, I'd probably be playing him as bisexual, slightly more male-leaning. Once again, my biases.
(If fanon weekend/badfic post ever goes up, I am totally making him into fandom's idea that he's some kind of kinky gay BDSM master because that will hurt me lots and by hilarious.)
God, I don't know.
This hurts me a little.
I give up.
