I think she's mature enough at this point to be able to help Yuki through that phase of life (assuming it is a phase) without either of them being hurt.Quote:robkelk wrote:Yeah, pretty much the entire reason for Garrick's line of thought there. At this stage, he's pretty sure she's at least heterosexual - she didn't even flinch when he picked her up after what she saw, which means she has no qualms about physical contact with men. The upshot is that she saw that Minagi was definitely enjoying herself, so at least there won't be any thorny issues about being afraid of that sort of thing. So, this only leaves Garrick with two lingering questions: will she be physically attracted to girls as well? And if so, can we catch it quickly enough to guide her through her bi-curious phase without any nasty psychological scars?Quote:blackaeronaut wrote:... I began to wonder if she had other bisexual tendencies or this was just a holdover from her early childhood. Although, if she actually was bisexual, then it would help to know before it took us all by surprise and provoke misunderstandings. Particularly so if she didn't realize it herself. ...At her age, she probably doesn't know what her sexual preferences are. She might not even have sexual preferences yet. (It would explain her actions that night - her subconscious might be trying to find out what feels good for her).
On a related note, I'm assuming Minagi's similarity to Ryoko is only cosmetic, and Minagi doesn't share Ryoko's tastes. For why this is a concern, consider episode #2 of the first OAV series...
