I have a question about Astarion. My Tav didn't have an affair with him, but I watched his course on YT. One thing I don't understand is that in the romance option, Astarion reveals that he has a sexual trauma and sex causes him pain. However, in several conversations on the friendship foot, he clearly says that he enjoys sex and physical pleasure. In the scene of a romance confession, he says that he hates intimacy. Why would Astarion lie in friendly conversations? Plus, if you're not having an affair with him, he's happy to sleep with Lae at a party.
