SEX ED PART 2 THE RECKONING | video; un: fantasma

[Abbacchio is sitting in his apartment, looking cozy as hell while he's petting a chicken in his lap. Said chicken looks like she's just nested and not going to move for awhile yet. Sanguis is in effect, so he has horns and his hair is just a mass of wool.]

What's up, assholes. It's that time again to reveal my fountain of wisdom.

It's occurred to me that some of you are having a dilemma. A goddamn sexual crisis, if you will. To some of you, this probably makes no sense, so I'll summarize: in most human cultures, opposing genders getting married and popping out babies is considered the norm, and if you don't then old people piss themselves in rage. Or something like that. Everyone's got a difference experience and some people don't care. Fucking cool.

Anyway.

So you came to Lunatia and thought to yourself "nah I definitely like the other gender I'm straight as hell", but now you're confused. Someone of the same sex has bewitched your genitals and heart, and now you're thinking maybe it's not that simple and now you're having a freak out.

[He pauses to have a sip of tea, then goes back to petting Prince the chicken before she starts fretting.]

First off, calm the fuck down. You got a case of bisexual and it's not life ending. I get it, you're discovering new shit about yourself every day. Hell, I didn't think I'd be caught in furry cuddle moonland, but here we are. I promise you no one's gonna give a shit if you suddenly figure out that maybe tits are great after all or that the dick isn't so bad. Or maybe you just wanna hold hands and kiss a little, I don't fucking know. I don't know your life.

But I do know this: it's totally okay. So the question is, how do you figure this shit out? Well, sometimes you gotta experiment. Go on dates, see how it clicks for you. Watch some porn and see what turns you on, that kind of thing. At least, in my experience that's kind of the only way I figured out jack shit personally.

So if you're an alien or from some fantasy land where no one gives a shit about what gender you date, awesome. This doesn't apply to you and it's probably funny that some of us have to deal with this crap. The rest of you that this might apply to, feel free to ask your questions and I'll try to answer.

You're welcome.

I mean, fair enough. You probably had a lot more important shit to deal with.

You could say that. My first kiss was on this world and that was with a woman. I didn't really feel conflicted over it or anything. It was more like...I became aware that I could also find women attractive.

Look at you, taking a healthy approach. Damn.

There are a lot of people who are raised in my time with the expectation to get married, have kids, that sort of thing. That if you went outside the box, there was something wrong with you. Suffice it to say, it's bullshit, but it also means some people have to work that shit out from what they were taught as a kid.

Many people in my world are raised with the expectation of getting married and having children, too. It seems to be more of an expectation for humans than youkai, but it's still somewhat expected for youkai. For youkai, courtship seems to be either something that's purely sexual and then over and done with, or it progresses quickly to marriage. Otherwise, youkai simply don't bother, and it's considered entirely acceptable to not have a mate and not be seeking one. Especially for men.

Huh. Well, I don't know if that's lucky, but there's a lot of pressure on humans for that kind of thing. Which is crazy, I really don't think we need more kids running around. There are plenty of humans where I'm from.

Anyway. Humans. We tend to over complicate shit.

It's probably got something to do with lifespans. Youkai can live to be thousands of years old. I don't know if I've ever heard of a youkai dying of old age.

Ah...I just thought of a question. Is there a term for if you are attracted to someone, like spending time with them as a friend, but you don't have any desire to be in a romantic relationship with them? Or when you might consider it as long as you could be with others, too?

[Someone doesn't know the terms "friends with benefits", "open relationship" or "polyamory", among others.]

That's a good point. Human lives are pitifully short. I know that firsthand.

So like... are you also potentially intimate or want to be intimate with this person?

[Pardon her while she switches over to private for the rest of this conversation because this is getting a little more personal than what she wants the general public to be able to observe.]

There's one I am intimate with. He's been clear that he's not seeking a relationship. We sleep together regularly, but also spend time together outside of that. There are others I'm attracted to but haven't actually done more with than hugging or holding hands yet.

Oh, gotcha. I was like that for awhile, too. I guess some people might call that having an open relationship, but it sounds more like friends with benefits to me. Someone you see as a friend but you have sex sometimes.

Oh, I see. Friends with benefits is a good term to describe it.

[Especially considering the Chroma factor.]

And you can be friends with benefits with multiple people as long as you're not deceitful about your feelings?

Oh yeah, definitely. I mean, it's not for everyone, but you know. Communication and shit, make sure everyone is clear. That kind of thing.

It's not that uncommon, I promise.

Also...what if someone isn't attracted to anyone at all? I know someone who shows no signs of being attracted to either women or men, even during the triple moon cycle. What's that called?

They might be asexual? People who don't wanna be intimate with anyone but like friends, that kind of shit.

That sounds like him. Only he won't call people friends. He just does things that friends do, like when I asked him to help me pick out a good quality sword, he did and offered some good advice.

He...was actually the first person I was ever attracted to. Now I still think he's pretty, but it's more satisfying to be attracted to people who return the attraction.

Eh, that's just him being stubborn. I'm kinda like that sometimes, but I'm trying to be more open about that kind of thing.

Oh yeah, it's definitely more rewarding. I'm glad you're not still totally hung up on him. You deserve a bit more, you know? Not that it sounds like he's awful or anything, but it's nice when someone feels the same way.

He's more the type to let his actions speak for him. I think you're doing fine with being open. You can talk about having a boyfriend and friends without being weird about it.

He was one of the only people back home to ever show me any kindness, and I've always admired his strength. I think that influenced my feelings.

Thanks. I prefer to be straightforward, honestly. Life's already complicated.

I think that makes sense. It kind of sucks being in a one-sided deal, though. I get that.

Being straightforward is best. My progenitor was a manipulator and a general sadistic asshole. I learned how to scheme and lie from being around him, but I'd rather just be direct instead.

[Nope, she will never ever call Naraku her father, and creator just sounds like far more of an honour than he deserves.]

Him caring was enough.

There you go.

Mm. Yeah, that's fair enough. And I try to keep that in mind.

By the way, when you said you knew about human lives being pitifully short first hand...does that mean you died on your world? I died on mine and became the wind.

[She's pretty open about dying, just not the circumstances behind it.]

Yeah. I was killed by an enemy that was almost unbeatable. I remember a bit of the afterlife, but shortly after the Moon Knights found me alive again.

Got no idea what'll happen if I ever go back.

So, uh. Do youkai become elements after they die?

No, it was just me. Most youkai just leave behind a corpse like a human would. I actually remember being the wind and having consciousness, too. Just not a body anymore. My injuries were too severe to regenerate from.

If any enemies from your world show up, let me know.

Well. For what it's worth, I'm glad you got one now. Kinda easier to chat over a network with a body.

Thanks. I'm hoping they won't, for everyone else's sake. But I'm keeping an eye out. I know it's possible.

Not having a body would make moonlacing difficult, too.

They are all people who would need to breathe in order to live, right?

[Kagura that's an oddly specific question.]

All but one that I can think of, but the one I'd be most concerned about is human despite everything.

Gonna suck air out of their lungs?
