#2 IS SEX SOMETHING WE HAVE TO DO?

-Sorry to keep you waiting. -You're late.

I'll get you a drink.

I've never dated anyone.

What's more, there's never been anyone I've liked.

I've never envied people who do and I don't know what's so good about it.

If this was a movie, I would never be the main character.

I mean,

people who don't like other people...

...are boring, right?

I've been thinking about it.

Is sex something you really have to do?

What do you mean?

When talking about it, the assumption is, doing it is normal.

It's not that you have to,

but humans normally do it though.

-Humans always do it? -Yeah.

-Why is that? -Don't ask me.

So the human race will flourish? And it's fun.

-I've never once wanted to do it. -What?

I mean, why would you want to do it?

Getting naked and cold.

It's not cold and you move.

Yuck!

You only say that because you've never done it.

-If you try it, you'll know. -I won't try it.

What, never? That's a waste. Right?

Well, I don't really know.

You're wasting your life.

You don't have to rush into it like I did, though.

-You need to get a boyfriend first. -That's right.

-Isn't there anyone you like? -Nope.

How dull!

-What I'm saying is... -Oh! Tsumugi?

-It's you, Tsumugi? -Kota.

-What are you doing here? -I could ask you that.

-Who is this? -A childhood friend.

Childhood friend?

Wow! You haven't changed at all.

Really?

It's been ages since I last saw you.

I've just finished my club activities. I was sitting over there.

Really?

-Hey, Kota. -Right away.

-Bye. -Bye.

-Well, you never told us about him. -What?

He's really good looking.

You never told us you had such a cool, handsome childhood friend.

-What's up with that? -It's nothing like that.

If he was in our high school, he would be really popular.

Definitely.

I can't believe you've been keeping such a treasure just for yourself.

-I told you it's not like that. -What? Really?

Sorry, Tsumugi.

Can you tell me your LINE ID? I realized I haven't got it.

Okay.

LINE - KOTA

Tsumugi, you got a notification on your phone.

Hey.

It was such a surprise seeing you today.

Yeah.

Do you often go to that diner?

Yeah. You?

That was my first time. I was invited there.

Is that so?

Can I see you there again?

Maybe.

Today, I said you hadn't changed,

but that was a lie.

You've really grown up.

Just got older I suppose.

I suppose so.

Tsumugi,

are you seeing anyone at the moment?

No.

I see.

The thing is

there's a movie I've been wanting to see. Do you want to go this Sunday?

It seems really good. I will send you the link.

He invited you to a movie?

-Yeah. -That's great.

-When are you going? -I haven't answered yet.

You should definitely go.

Just go with him.

I think it's just watching a movie.

Well, that's fine too.

But if you go, you might find that you really like him.

I doubt it.

You might not be into the idea right now,

but being in love is definitely more fun.

You're really cute, so you should dress up a bit.

Right? We've got your back.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

-You're late. -Sorry.

They're waiting.

Sorry to have kept you waiting.

You're wasting your life.

Being in love is definitely more fun.

Sorry for the late response.

Let's go and see the movie.

Really? You didn't answer so I thought it was off.

Tsumugi!

-Tsumugi. -Oh, hi!

Wow. You're...

-What? -No, nothing.

-Let's go. -Yeah.

Welcome.

Do you want caramel or salt flavor?

-Salt. -Salt.

-I thought so. Salt, please. -Yes, of course.

It's fine not to ask if you've known.

-It's that one. -Oh, right.

Ah, sorry.

Are you okay?

What shall we do if it ends up being boring?

It'll be fine.

-Sorry to keep you waiting. -Thanks.

It was really good.

-What? -The movie.

I wasn't too sure about it.

-Really? -The main character

saw that guy for the first time in ages.

Then she hugged and kissed him passionately.

Yes.

Why does it happen like that?

That was a really great scene.

-I was in tears watching it. -Are you being serious?

But what happened during those 12 years of life?

What about the husband she's with now?

Well, that's just the way things happen.

The way things happen.

That's right.

I'm not sure I like romantic movies.

If we go again, let's watch a sci-fi movie with mad effects.

-Okay. -Right?

The popcorn was really nice, though.

Tsumugi, I really like you.

Seeing you after so long, you're so different from other girls.

It feels good to have you around. Please be my girlfriend.

You don't have to answer now.

Thank you.

-I'll take you home. -No, I'm fine.

Tsumugi?

-He kissed you? -Out of the blue?

That's amazing.

Cool and good-looking. He doesn't waste any time.

-That's too much. -Give over.

So, how did it feel?

I don't really know.

Was it your first kiss?

-Yes. -Yeah, I get that.

For my first kiss, I really didn't know what it was.

For sure. I wondered if I was doing it right.

Yes. But it's so nice, isn't it?

It was good you went, Tsumugi.

Yeah. I'm glad it went so well.

I never said it was good.

What?

All I said was that he kissed me.

I never said I was happy that he kissed me.

-Well, yes, but... -Why do you keep saying you get it?

What do you get about me?

Isn't it good getting kissed by a handsome guy on your first date?

-Nothing can beat that. -I just wanted to watch a film.

Wait, so you agreed to go on a first date, but you weren't happy about being kissed?

So are you saying that we can't talk, hang out,

or just go to see movies with male friends anymore?

Does it have to be about whether you're dating or not?

Whether you kiss or have sex?

Does it have to be about that?

Why are you so mad all of a sudden?

What's going on, Tsumugi?

Saying being in love is more fun

or that normally people have sex,

it's like a living hell.

I'm sick, so just leave me alone.

What was that all about?

CANNOT FALL IN LOVE DISEASE

WHAT IS ASEXUAL?

ASEXUALS ARE CONSIDERED SEXUAL MINORITIES

AND DON'T HAVE SEXUAL/ROMANTIC DESIRES FOR OTHERS.

Stand.

Bow.

Thank you very much.

CONCEPTS OF BIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY

What were you looking for?

230-280: BIOLOGY

You were looking for something.

Well, yes.

Tell me.

A book about asexuality.

You won't find that in a high school library.

Come with me.

Quickly.

Come inside.

EVERYTHING ABOUT ASEXUALITY

-I will lend you this. -What?

Go on.

I'm surprised you thought to look for a book about it.

I checked it out online, but found many different opinions,

I didn't know what to think.

Well, I suppose so.

-Are you a sophomore? -Yes, Hara from set C.

So you knew the word "asexual".

Yes, I was interested in it.

I mean,

I think I might be one.

Take a seat.

So, you're not interested in romance or sex?

Right.

I should start by saying

that there's nothing weird about that at all.

"Asexual" refers to not feeling sexual attraction toward other people.

It's not about whether you want to kiss or have sex.

It also refers to those who are unable

to sense a romantic atmosphere.

It might also refer to those who feel an aversion to those things.

There are so many different types

that it's really hard to generalize.

How much discomfort you feel differs from person to person.

Isn't it a disease to feel sick after being kissed?

What? No not at all.

Oh, hot!

But isn't it weird?

Weird? What does "weird" mean?

-What? -Is "weird" different from other people?

Who decides what's weird?

They say 1% of people in the world are asexual.

Do you think that's a lot or little?

Little?

That means 70 million people in the world are that way.

-That many? -Yes.

Some asexual people have partners.

You mean that they go out on dates?

Of course. Some of them are married.

Is that so?

People have all kinds of different relationships.

Just because you go out with somebody doesn't mean you have to kiss or have sex.

I mean that kind of rule

is a bit ridiculous, isn't it?

Yes.

BIOLOGY STORAGE ROOM

Sorry, this is bitter.

-I will make some more. -Okay.

Are you eavesdropping?

No.

Ms. Shirayama, I've come to feed the animals.

Thanks.

The moon fish have been a bit lackluster recently.

-I'm a bit worried. -It's hot isn't it.

-Are you checking the water temperature? -Yes.

So...

I will be leaving then.

-Thank you very much. -Sorry.

-Stop by anytime. -Yes.

Hey, look at this.

Where is Joey?

Sakura...

Sorry.

I overheard your conversation.

I...

don't know anything about asexuality.

I'm sorry I said such insensitive things.

I don't know how to apologize.

But I want to know more about you and I want you to talk to me.

So...

Please don't stop being friends with me.

I never said I'd end it.

Tsumugi...

Do you hate being hugged too?

No, I don't.

Thank you.

My answer is that

I'm sorry, but I can't go out with you.

I think that I may be asexual.

Asexual?

It means people who can't have romantic feelings.

I think I may be like that.

I don't think I've ever had them.

I don't feel I do.

It doesn't mean I dislike you at all, Kota.

I just think I'm that kind of person.

At the moment, at least.

But...

If you don't mind, we can go and watch a movie again.

A sci-fi with lots of effects?

Yes.

When shall we go?

How about next Tuesday?

-Sounds good. -We should watch a more interesting one.

-The last one was good! -Really?

EVERYTHING ABOUT ASEXUALITY

I didn't know this type of sexuality existed.

Yeah, I had no idea.

-I'm so sorry. -It's fine.

Everybody only understands what they feel themselves.

-Everyone thinks they're normal. -Yes, I thought so.

I thought you were amazing.

Going from one romance to the next.

Are you having a dig at me?

When you get to this age, it seems normal to have such relationships

and if you can't talk about those things, people think you're boring.

Yeah. That's right.

You said so, right?

-Did we say that? -Yes, we did.

I'm so sorry.

But I've noticed a lot of things like that.

But you're not boring at all.

You're the smartest of all of us

and know about loads of stuff.

I want to learn from the way you don't get swept up in things.

But some people have relationships where there's no sex.

-It's definitely not for me. -Come on.

That's fine.

I've realized people have different ways of interaction.

And that's good.

Love without sex may be possible too.

That may be even more romantic.

So, to put it in other words,

is it wrong to have experienced a lot of partners?

I'VE NEVER LIKED SOMEONE LIKE THAT. AREN'T I BORING?

WHY SEX?

IS SEX SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO DO?

WHAT IS SEX?

SEX IS SOMETHING YOU NORMALLY DO

SEX IS FUN!

I AM NOT INTERESTED IN SEX

I AM NOT SURE ABOUT ROMANTIC MOVIES.

JUST HANGING OUT WITH MALE FRIENDS ISN'T OK?

#ASEXUAL #DISEASE #ROMANCE

ROMANCE IS HELL - I'M DISEASED

IT'S ABSURD TO SAY SEX IS A MUST

SEXLESS LOVE IS POSSIBLE?

HOW MANY ASEXUAL PEOPLE IN JAPAN?

ASEXUAL RATIO - 0,9% OF JAPANESE PEOPLE APPROX. 1,13M PEOPLE

PEOPLE HAVE VARIOUS KINDS OF SEXUALITY

SO IT'S OKAY...

FOR US TO BE DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS
