Has there ever been a good IN-UNIVERSE explanation as to why Kon wasn't getting laid regularly?
Yes, I know the actual explanation is because he's 13-15ish, it's a book ostensibly for kids, and the 'horn dog who gets in his own way' is a classic comedy trope; but I never really bought that the kid never got any pussy.
Yes, he's 13-15ish, but he's a demigod with rockstar pretensions; tell me there isn't SOME deranged groupie/fangirl out there who would take a serious spin on his meat pole?
Sure, I suppose the best explanation is that Kon didn't want to sully the Superman name and/or couldn't close the deal without betraying his age/inexperience; but even WITH all those factors he's a good-looking kid with the stamina/strength of industrial equipment who has no qualms about flirting with hot girls/women and an out-of-control libido.
There must have been SOME girl who managed to get through in the 10+ years he was a horn dog before he finally lost his virginity to Cassie. Was that the case? my memory is fuzzy.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
This has bugged me about early Kon
