How to kill a Zabrak: my speculations about the species' anatomy and physiology, pt.2
Basically, make their blood coagulate, it's too thick already. They also must handle alcohol worse than humans but not in the way we are used to.

@sashasux True. And I love how he didn't join the crew that was being tortured on the ship. This means he might be a masochist but pain is not the end-all-be-all goal for him. It's means to achieving something else. Otherwise he'd succumb to what the entity was offering.
Maul is a canonical masochist, here's why.

"The wrath of Maul" book:
"The lightsabers met with a bright flash of energy before Maul landed on his feet in a tight crouch. The pain in his leg was exquisite."
This is a very deliberate word choice. Very #submaul
Initially posted on tmblr, reblog tags there are priceless. Like this one for example: “ I just know Maul is doing this in the mirror. Making growling noises and staring at a picture of obi wan he ripped out” (c) . Anyway, I polished the pic a bit, upscaled it too #darthmaul #maul #maulshadowlord
@duelingwithfate@SolelyVisiting I think aftercare is what would fluster him even more than intimacy. He's never been given an opportunity to soothe the wounds Sidious gave him, so he doesn't think he deserves it.
3/3 "Maul tasted sand in his mouth. And blood. He continued to watch the sky as he felt almost overwhelmed by his humiliation. He had never felt such shame before. The shame was darker than any darkness he had even known. He found the darkness pleasing." He savours shame, y'all.

"Sweat beaded on his tattooed forehead. His wonded leg was practically screaming for treatment. ... he delayed reaching for a medpac. He worked with the pain, manipulating it, shaping it into desire."
Not sexual desire, but it speaks volumes how true to life it is.
3 Ways post-chop #Maul might still experience sensual pleasure: a thesis.
First, a cybernetic D. Not my favourite but I see why fans headcanon it. Mandalorian prosthetics would likely wire to his leftover nerves. Bonus: different attachments.

@heligero Ok, I definitely need to reread it again but I really connected with these points:
"he also captivates us with an intellectual, serene, and ascetic kind of sexiness" YES
and your points about his proportions are spot-on. Thank you also for referencing Jap influence on his design
