They did know each other's names - but not last names, as per Cheyenne's request. And, seeing as she was a fairly famous fashion designer in New York, I totally get why she wouldn't necessarily want to give out her last name to people who might be gossipy or indiscreet.
Some people prefer sex without romantic attachment, particularly if they're career focused at the time. That doesn't make them dirty, or disrespectful, or motivated by misanthropy. I understand if you think it's OOC for Dick, but 'respect' is a slippery word when it comes to sexuality. Most of the time when someone describes another person's sexual behaviour as lacking in respect, what they really mean is "people should have sex the way I like to."
Because for all their moralising, I find that many people who oppose 'meaningless' sex really do so because they, personally, find the idea squicky.
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.
