One of the weirdest popular ideas in this fandom continues to be that Nie Mingjue (raised in a heavily militarised setting where people seem to be free to talk about sexual subjects, his father had a wife and a concubine, little brother famously has a collection of porn) somehow knows next to nothing about sex while Lan Xichen (raised apart from women in a heavily regulated, monastery-like setting, raised apart from parents by an unmarried uncle, lives in an area where talk about sex was presumably banned or at least heavily taboo) is somehow the local sex expert
#look. my conviction is that the evil sword took away NMJs’ interest in sex as a pleasurable endavour. but I do think he damn well knows wha#it entails.#those soldiers in the cave where having a full on conversation about JGS and JGY’s heritage. you can’t tell me they don’t talk about sex al#the time. and NMJ was definitely already walking among them at 13 bro.#Lan Xichen on the other hand. LQR gave him a very curd talk about how babies are made when he’s sixteen#and that’s it#maybe he learns more about it from NMJ#mdzs
