yeah that was my bad. i was really new to this genre when i read that chapter so i didnt know it was common and innocent. really sorry
It’s fine, thank you for hearing out as well.
It’s just that, it’s pretty hard for a lot of the western culture to understand that “intimacy/romance” no matter at what level it is, shouldn’t constantly be generalized as “wanting to have children with/wanting to have skinship with”, and I couldn’t help but be a bit aggressive in reasoning against that.
Even something as “feeling safe when being together” can be a reason enough to spark feelings, and I just couldn’t agree how it can be disgusting because it shouldn’t immediately apply to any other deeper reasons like skinship first.
And even then youngs usually don’t understand their reasoning when they say that yet, they wouldn’t have really understood what “marry” implies to an adult eye.
