During the NC scenes in the novel, having actual s** is the thing that heals the ML the best and the fastest. I never said it wasn't ra**. I was talking about the act of s** itself regardless of it being ra** or not. The act of ra** and other abuses better paints a picture of how desperate the situation in the world is and little Awakened people care for others because they all know they're going to die early for one reason or another. I dont know if you're being deliberately obtuse about this or if your moral high horse is galloping too fast for you to understand what I am saying.
