I think there should be a Rosie O'Donnell-like character for the F/F romancers. I think that would be great.

I lol'ed.

was just wondering if anyone's tossed out the idea of a f/f romance with an asexual character? kind of similar to seb's, but without hiding the asexuality behind a bunch of chantry bs?

personally, i think that might be interesting to explore.

(also, please don't run me out on a rail if i'm alone in that!)

I actually think that would be quite interesting, if done right.

How do you romance an asexual character?

Imagine the Merrill, Fenris, or Anders romance, but without any sexy-times.

The Bastila, Silk Fox, and Jaheria romances could also be asexual romances. Technically, Aeire could be as well as asexual people can decide to have sex for reproduction.

I'm all for it. Without sex in the way of developing the romance, it could become something very deep.

quite easily.  flirt, give them flowers, take them out someplace nice once in a while, be supportive when they're going through something rough...click the heart icon a lot...same way you romance anyone.

just b/c someone's asexual doesn't make them aromantic by default.

The same way you romance anyone else.

To do it right would be to not do it at all, since being asexual means that you aren't sexually attracted to either gender.

Edit: I guess I'm taking this too literally.

Just as romance does not always follow sex, sex does not always follow romance.

Asexual = not interested in sex/physical intimacy.
Aromantic = not interested in romance/emotional intimacy.

Someone can be one, the other, or both.

An asexual romance would be just like any romance presented in DA thus far, just without the implication of sex.

Eh, that sounds like just being friendly.  If there's no sexual attraction what's the difference?

As many have stated above, you can be romantic and not have a desire for physical intimacy.  Love doesn't have to always culminate with sex.

Is it so hard to imagine wanting to spend most of your time with a particular person, share your life with that person, cohabitate with him/her, show your affection, cuddle (or not), kiss (or not), and give that relationship "priority", WITHOUT wanting to bone?

A lot of people live that way and are very content.

Can you?  I've honestly never seen anything like that IRL.  Sexual attraction seems to be the root of romance in my experience.

I was assuming there was no sexual attraction at all.  You're saying there can still be physical intimacy and or sexual attraction, but no
interest in actual intercourse? 

That sounds really strange.

For you, that's how it works.  That doesn't mean it's how everyone operates.

Ahh ok I gotcha now.  I guess I was misinterpreting the term.  Still it seems like such an odd concept.  If they did go that route I'd hope they include more than 1 option for F/F than that.  Some of us would prefer to consummate the relationship! <3

Well according to Pseudo's link, even asexual can people feel sexual attraction and arousal... so yeah.

I don't find the idea particularly interesting, given that it's basically just a normal romance without the sex scene.

Hope it's educational for ya.

Sexuality is such an intrinsic part of most people's lives that it is understandably difficult to imagine someone who doesn't experience it at all.

On a related note, some people interpret Varric as asexual, which is interesting.

Some of us would prefer to consummate the relationship!

Can't blame you for that

the difference is that while YOU only think of that as being friendly, someone who's asexual but not aromantic finds a deep and fulfilling connection in their non-sexual romance partner.  what you see as a close friendship a la bromance/bff, an asexual person may percieve as a romance (and they will usually ask for that clarification at some point).  where you wouldn't likely have strong feelings about a very close lifelong friend either romancing or simply having casual sex with someone else, an asexual partner might be very hurt by that.

clear enough?

true to a point...

but i think that some romance specific dialogues and non-sexual romance scenes could easily be included in such without the fade-to-black smexyness.

A totally new non companion

I want to be able to romance some that is an NPC in your home base. I want to romance someone normal, not a mass murderer with blood covering their body 50% of the time.

Eh, unless the PC spends most of their time at home (which probably would make for a mundane story) you wouldn't get to see them much.  NPCs are better left for side flings imo.

I would actually prefer this to a companion f/f romance myself, but I keep thinking Samantha.
