tamaki is inching towards asexuality, but it could be traumaas well. his experience with the man his mother slept with had a lot of impact on him. that, and his need to become a man that's completely set apart from the men his mother slept with shapes him as a character.
shii, on the other hand, is a character whose very foundation is being a teenager who has experienced unrequited love for years which makes him desperate and he's extremely curious about sex which gives him the push to further try new things with tamaki. however, the fact that he loves tamaki makes him consider tamaki's feelings and the guilt catches up to him whenever he knows he did something tamaki didn't particularly enjoy.
i really, really like the characters and flow of this story.
