CSmith327 I agree with you, I don't think Tatara had any kind of romantic or sexual relationship with his swords. To him, he was purely enraptured by the beauty of imperials, not as women or anything like that. Nothing sexual or like that of that nature. Hence why he married his childhood friend and not Excelia, and not that he'd be able to have a sexual relationship with a sword. I don't think their "human" bodies are able to do such things, and it was never implied that it was a possible thing. Every time sword maintenance was done, the "human" visuals of were just imagery but the actual maintenance was being done in their sword modes. And even the swords' love for Tatara, I don't think it was anything sexual or even romantic. I think it's more akin to loving a master.
