People saying Tamaki is asexual in the comments but I don’t think Tamaki is asexual. There is a difference between asexual as an orientation and then past trauma which makes you fear/disgust sex. Tamaki obviously has issues with the way he views sex because of his past, which has nothing to do with being asexual - I’m not saying there’s no way he is but it’s pretty unlikely that this is what the author is trying to portray.

    Basically what I’m saying: sexual trauma does not necessarily result in lack of sexual feeling.

    It’s actually more the opposite, he would have an even stronger feeling (even if it’s negative) about sex or repressed sexual desires

    Absolutely. Tamaki’s conclusion that “this is what bad people do” does NOT automatically equate to “I have an innate aversion to this”.

    I also noticed a while back someone in particular tried to provide evidence of Tamaki’s “asexuality” by bringing up his behavior as a child. It’s really not good to base your argument about a person’s sexuality based on how they acted as a kid.

    Regardless, I’m unfamiliar with the mangaka so I can’t really predict how well they’ll execute Tamaki’s character development. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
