Nonsexual Romance.

NONSEXUAL romance


Romantic relationships, under most circumstances, have a sexual component to them. That's just another level of connection many desire with the one they love. Not so the case with you. You're with someone, and both of you very much acknowledge it's some sort of relationship, but you're not with-with them - not sexually. Whether you're just inexperienced and not ready to move to that level yet, believers in romantic friendship (or that situation is more convenient, given your time and place of residence), unable to consummate anything due to physiological differences or other issues, celibate, or simply content with the intimacy that you do have, it's a mutual decision...isn't it? But is this the way you two see yourselves continuing, without wanting more? And what about other people? If they know you're together, do they see your arrangement as "strange" or "less?"

Even if they do, though, it may not matter; you have each other.

[Dude, look at him. Just. Look at him. He might be a demon, but he's also a two-foot tall cartoon character. It would be really awkward and does he even have the parts for it? Also while I really don't consider him genuinely underage he is still a bit childish and kinda innocent for a demon. I don't know if he even knows what sex even is. There's a reason why Goofy, Pete and Oswald are the only Golden Age Toons who have kids]

[ Sure, why not? Sex doesn't usually work out for him in the long run - his sex life has an inadvertent body count - and he's no stranger to ships in the night that turn into ones that got away. ]

[Considering he's not had good experiences for a majority of the time, it might be good for him. Maybe just the cuddling and hand-holding (though he'd really hate for anyone to know his vulnerability) action tags or prose can work with either. ]
