@DancingDuck Another thing is when Denji touched Powers bo*** he felt nothing. Most likely because Denji didn't associate the act of touching powers bo*** with genuine affection as though Power was grateful towards Denji they weren't close or friends yet. Also would make sense and to why he liked when Makima did things to him as he thought Makima genuinely cares.
That's why when Aki dies, one of the few people Denji felt genuine care and emotion for dies he goes to Makima who in his eyes genuinely cares for him. Even in his breakdown he does the finger thing still finding comfort in the actions Makima did to him, in her care for him.
At the end of the day Denji is a teenager groomed by Makima and either taken advantage of or assaulted by every other woman in his life. His associations are deeply affecting him in ways he doesn't want them to, he's traumatized.
I get lost on the internet a lot so I read everything and anything.
