I thought of another argument for the 'Constantine is NOT a sex maniac'
(why is this conversation constantly active its insane)
In the comics John fucks, sure! That is true!
But- but have you considered that all the moments he points out are always romantically intimate? All of the moments with his partners and the climaxes of the relationship stem from some sort of intimacy and not from sex.
Which you would say, yeah?? Duh?? Thats like?? Normal? Not to fanon-likers it isnt
Sex can be used as a way to connect but it doesn't have to be the primary one and for him it surely isnt even third.
Let's review: (literally a recollection of the most intimate moments beetwen his partners up to Dani)
One of the most intimate moments in the first half od Delanos run is Zed and John who hug. She says she loves him and he says he loves her too, that he'll love her forever. That! That is the point. He'll forever hold her in his heart and Id bet that the moment he started loving her was when she helped him find Gemma.
I would say that the moment he cherishes the most with Emma would be the mornings where she'd draw and he'd lay in bed.
Can't forget about Marj and Mercury.
They provide him stability and a sense of peace. Its the closest he got to in the og run to having a actual family of his. He does everything he can to help the both of them, even if he cracks in the end. His final moment of vulnerability? Asking Marj to hold him while hes terrified to shits.
Moving on, we've got Kit!
Their relationship is all over the place but the sweetest and the most important moments are those where they're NOT HAVING SEX.
When she beats him in the drinking game, that whole page expresses how he feels like hes a teenage boy falling in love again. How she makes him feel jittery and nervous.
There are often these one page silent moments of the two just existing and being happy together.
He says hes lucky as he watches her draw (or settle his papers? Honestly i forgot). He says hes lucky as he watches her exits near him. The kiss is just a way to show the intimacy.
My favorite panel is the three-day they spend in bed. Sure its about sex but its not really about sex is it?
They lay together, in each other's arms, away from the world. Wouldn't you want to literally spend a day in bed with the person you cherish? It represents the world stopping, enveloping eachother fully.
Also issue 50 is probably my favorite issue of the entire series. It explicitly explains John and what he cherishes about the world hes in.
Now onto my favorite relationship, Dani!
Dani and John are something really special to me because i feel like they're endgame. Its not about how they love eachother but how she tries to understand him emotionally and to support him through things she doesn't quite understand him. She doesn't have a idealized version of him. She tells him how it is and thay insistence on her teaching him to let others carry the load is the point of the Jenkins run.
