The human(humanoid in this case) brain isn't as rational as you'd think especially in the face of trauma.
2. You come across as very anti-sex for someone who is "quite the opposite." Or perhaps so anti-this one character having sex that you seem just anti-sex regardless.

1. This totally might be the case, also people I know who got bitten by a dog are mostly afraid of small dogs, because its mostly those who bite. And sure, it might be the case that Halsin is against some Drows and not against other Drows. Still, the way it is implemented in the game it feels like they are just trying to do anything needed for Haslin to still have the Drow twins scene. Like sure, everything sexual about his past is totally cool for him and to his enjoyment but everything else is either bad or not worth talking about. Feels like really lazy writing from John and nothing more than that. Should've asked Astarions writer how to properly prepare for sensitive topics.
2. If I had anything against Halsin or him having sex, I wouldn't even care to write here (let alone reading some stuff that just make my shake my head in disbelief). So let me explain it a bit more in depth: I don't like that Halsin just wants to get everything to his advantage, he wants just a p*ssy or d*ck to have fun with, without commiting himself, yet he still uses sweet language just to preserve the status quo (which is that he has said p*ssy or d*ck in his reach). This is neither fair for anyone who wants a monogamous relationship with him nor for people who want him to be part of a polycule. And that's what people are complaining about and something that most of the people who are whiteknighting Halsin don't get.
He just comes off as someone who uses everything he has (his past, his experience, his body) to just fuck around with no consequences and no remorse, no caring what the other being thinks and feels. I never liked those kind of people in real life and I never. He doesn't give a shit about consent, he's twisting his words several times over the course of the complete game.
As for the anti-sex part: I don't define myself and me being sexually interested and active by plain the way Halsin or you (I'd wager) seem to do. My better half and I have a satisfying sex life, but neither me nor she needs to jump from one body (or even animal, in Halsin's case) to another just to claim we love sex.
