✦ I particularly believe Aventurine has definitely laid with people for work reasons; either to climb up that social ladder or for a job in itself. He's desensitized to the idea of sex and just considers it as a weapon to be used when need be. That being said, I imagine he's extremely uncomfortable having any sort of vanilla or even remotely romantic sex, or anything that has even the tiniest bit of feelings involved. Kissing is on a weird spot for him, and he prefers initiating it (because he'd be aware of his own feelings and the idea of having control over it is preferable) than allowing other people to kiss him unless he's sure that they're not going to be weird about it lol. + Lmao well, 2.1 sure implied he might have done it during his time as a slave, so the point still stands. Desensitized to the idea of sex, and with his looks being seen as a selling point, I do believe he has a mindset that it's a weapon to be used. ✦ While I see him as bisexual, in reality I think he's also desensitized to the idea of being attracted to a specific gender because of how often he might have had to lay with someone for work or survival reasons. The only reason I think he prefers men is because he would be the kind of guy to say men are "hornier or easier to seduce" because they have higher libido or something of the kind (lmao). I don't believe he has ever had the chance to really explore his own actual, genuine preferences when it comes to 🤮 feelings 🤮 and attraction, so he's not really aware of what those are.
