@MinModulation I feel like that belief exists (ironically I think it might be more common among women than men), but is not the reason why western female characters are desexualized, I think that's just influence of the "body positivity" movement, that straight up doesn't exist in east asia.
@oubagaku I see relationships with only sex as fake and shallow because they don't really require any commitment or responsibility, it's just instinctual relief, not something virtuous.
Relationships without sex are the opposite of that, though I personally think they're overkill.
