Oh, why not!

ASK A QUESTION it can be anything CFUD related, OOC, IC, Relationship, psychology, thoughts, whatever. I.E. My character's opinion of your character or maybe what you have been wondering about this behavior or that, or general thoughts on my characters or canons or what, who I might consider topping you into apping, etc.

WHEN I REPLY I will also ask you a question in turn!

I play: Umeda, Riku Replica, Heat, Sakubo (can ask individually or as a pair), Minato, Soubi, Tsukihiko, Cheryl, Grelle, and Mutsu.

OKAY I AM GOING TO DIVE INTO THE REALM OF HEADCANON HERE but point out where I'm supporting it from whatever.

To start with, I don't think Grelle's a virgin! I do think that's one way people could read it, since she does refer to herself as a "maiden" a few times ("The face is a maiden's treasure", etc) but I'm pretty sure that's Grelle playing up the "a beautiful young girl" side of maiden, not the virgin side. The way she approaches sexuality strikes me more as someone who's tried it, liked it, and wants MORE PLEASE rather than someone who's interested in trying it but hasn't yet. There's a lot of weight of awareness behind her sexual aggression, so I assume that at some point in her life Grelle has actually managed to get off with someone. Because of, uh, BEING GRELLE, I don't think she gets sex OFTEN, read, more than once in a blue moon, but that doesn't stop her from actively pursuing it.

NOW, THE SEX ACT.

Obviously there are some ...complications! With sex and Grelle in that Grelle will want to be approached as a woman during sex, but is very biologically male. But I think this is a disparity that Grelle, at least, is down with. Although we know she's not FOND of her body as it is, we also know she works it, and we know she feels like a sexy person. I think we see hints that Grelle is perfectly willing to sexual innuendo in a way that refers to the fact she has a penis, though, to be fair, only through proxies ("Don't say that. I'm sure you'll become addicted to the taste of my deathscythe!" - and, ok, a chainsaw is a phallic weapon, the phallic element is sort of there). Obviously, she'd rather have a female body of her own to play with, but if nothing else, Grelle is able to work with what she's got, and confidently. The way Grelle approaches life makes me pretty confident that she will be un-self-conscious about stripping down and demanding you lick her toes and take her "with all the passion men and women can afford" or something like that and, herself, just brushing past the fact her body is male.

That said, where a lot of the hitch comes in is with other people! It's not that anyone would be 'trapped' by Grelle -- Grelle just doesn't pass as biologically female, so there'd be no, you know, penis surprise; if someone is about to get far enough with Grelle to actually get in bed with her, it'd be more surprising if they didn't know she was biologically male, just like it'd be surprising if they hadn't heard that she identified female. I can't really imagine a scenario where this would happen! So the hitch isn't anything like that, but I can potentially see one if they a) approach Grelle as a man in bed. B) will come later.

Because, here's the thing, during sex with Grelle, she is going to want to be romanced. Dramatically! She is going to want to be told she is ~~~beautiful~~~ and, yeah, if someone is going to get her naked and be able to call her a lovely lady or something she might explode in stars and hearts or something.

But of course, with sex, there's always the question of what exactly are you doing together, and that's where some of the awkwardness is going to come in, because, yeah, well, Grelle does have a penis. And Grelle intends to get off! And all this can be dealt with in a brush-aside way if someone is creative enough, but there IS going to be awkwardness and probably discomfort all around.
