Kimi
Carver-sensei? You say you have no sex?
Carver
Never. It’s ultimately just a total pain in the ass.
I don’t even have a sensitive spot. I had a uterus-like mass, once, but those get cancerous sometimes, so I had it removed. And my gonads were absorbed back into my body before my 4th cycle. That’s actually fairly typical of hanyo.
Kimi
You do not regret?
Carver
I regret plenty. I’ve been the subject of a lot of bias, even here and now. I’m the last of my line and will never have children. And I’m short, even for a hanyo.
But… Any bias only drives me. I imprinted on X’s sibs and cousins while we were lost in space. And I almost never have to duck.
We all wish that we, and our pasts, were fundamentally different, but, if that were so, we would be someone else entirely. And, like as not, still wishing things had been different, yet again. We can’t change who we are, only who we become.
And I’m just as happy not being a hormone driven fuck machine.

Wanting to believe Kimi meant ‘miss’ rather than ‘regret’
Language issues. But she may well be asking about regrets.
Hey now! What’s wrong with being a hormone driven fuck machine?
I think living on Orion ships when the men come out of cold sleep may be giving her a somewhat biased worldview on what having a functional sex drive is like… at least compared to human standards. 😛
Nothing. Nothing at all. Some people are just born that way.
Most (but not all) people I know who could fit that description, both male and female, have very little regard for other people, their feelings, have very short relationships, and see very little reason to keep in touch with someone after the sex is over. They may get a lot of sex, but they have very little intimacy.
There is also more than a bit of, “yeah it is hard being different, but I like who I am today and understand that my differences are a large part of why I am who I am.” I run that way myself, and recognizing it has given me a strong appreciation for “different.” Or as I say, if we were all the same we’d still be living in caves and spending most of our day finding food and trying hard to survive.
Am I the only one reminded of when Ace asked the kittens how they felt about being fixed?
If it is a total pain in the ass, one might try either a different orifice or more lube.
I am pretty sure the Dr. would find a pain in the urethra even worse. This leaves anal and oral as the only options.
Asexual here. I’m really happy that the writer put an Asexual character in his comic.
