[ He's done his reading. He's lurked around the Red Light district for answers. 9S has seen a lot recently, but he still doesn't know. It's an itch in his mind waiting for a good scratch, but observation and research hasn't quite done the trick. He's got the basics down, he thinks, but it still seems a little too personal to test the waters himself. Being physical with someone like that? He may as well give a stranger his personal decryption codes. He's made friends here and most people aren't so bad, but the vulnerability still bothers him.

9S is more than a little exasperated with wondering. The world, especially a new one like this, is full of so much else yet there's so much focus on that one activity. ]

Why are humans so obsessed with sex? Aren't there more interesting things to do?

[ Phrasing it like that might ease the "why are you so weird?" "i'm an android" part of a conversation, he thinks, but 9S realizes it's strange enough that people will be confused regardless. This was a terrible idea. Where's the delete function on this thing, anyway?

Sigh.]

At least it's not war, I guess.

[ Always a positive. ]

Are you unfamiliar with the biological needs of humans?
Sex is as critical to humans as eating and drinking and sleeping.
Going without it for too long, once one has reached the appropriate age, results in a slow and painful death.
It's only natural that humans might come across as a bit obsessed when it's a matter of survival.

its true ive seen it

terrible way to go honestly

[idealog]

[ He's not above doing a little bit of theorizing on this kind of thing. Or at least seeing what answers he gets. ]

So... what's the appropriate age?

[exorion]

i dont know im not a human

adult age probably

[idealog]

I'm not a human either.

I feel like they'd list that somewhere.

[exorion]

im sure theres books or something

ask koralle

no wait dont ask koralle find a scientist

[idealog]

I work with the scientists! This never came up.

[ Koralle kind of intimidates him. ]

[idealog]

[ He's kinda taken aback by this. He did some studying, but none of it really culminated in that ]

If that's the case, it's not a very common bit of data.

[ Plus, he's supposed to be humanlike. He'd probably not be having this conversation. ]

[knitpick]

Isn't it?
Perhaps the sources you've been referring to are aimed at younger audiences.
It's sad that people try to shield children from such natural parts of human life, but it is what it is.

[idealog]

Even at the Institute here?

[ Because he is not about to go looking for a library in the Red Light District. No way. ]

[knitpick]

It would depend on the text.
Some authors will undoubtedly be more or less open about sexual subjects than others.
