As an asexual myself, I agree. Now, I'm actually aromatic in real life too, but I'm quite the romantic when it comes to fiction, and I want more. I want less focus on boring sex and naked people, and more emotional connection and intimate (non-naked) moments.

And the weird thing is that I liked Halsin best because I found him to be emotionally caring, he expressed that there was something between him and Tav, but that he wanted to wait until he could give himself fully to Tav, to a time when his mind wasn't occupied elsewhere. For me, all of that were signs that this was a man that would care for Tav on a deeper lever, emotionally, that wanted to be there for Tav properly and not just in body. He didn't seem like he wanted to be with Tav in ACT 2 because he wanted something more than just a mindless f**k. So, guess my surprise and disappointment when the day finally arrived and that was exactly what he wanted and nothing more.

Still can't make it make sense how that's how it ended up to be honest.
