I'm extremely bad at reading stuff so it's very unlikely I'm going to read this anytime soon, but I think it's cool to see an exploration of (one of the quite numerous many flavors of) asexuality like this. I'm extremely not ace, but I have a cuddle buddy friend who is, and a few acquaintances as well. Y'all are cool and valid!

I recognize this Fluttersy's characterization doesn't apply to every person and every circumstance, but as someone who wishes to understand other people, I found this particularly satisfying to read.

I think you did a good job on this story, and I'm grateful you shared it here.

It was... interesting, in the beginning. And, then, become a mess of Fluttershy being a tease while, at the same time, doesn't wanting to do anything, and, then, textbook mode of acronyms and...

It was all over the place. And, honestly, if a person, or pony, is THAT unsure about what he or she wants, then it would.be better to not even start it.

This is neither sex nor love. It is confusion.

You're right that it's confusion.

But confusion never passes without exploration. And that's where the love is!

Fluttershy loves her mates, and explores her boundaries after realizing how hat she isn't having the visceral reactions she expected. Twi and Rarity love each other, and they love Flutters, and explore those boundaries with her. That they do so without hurting each other or resenting when things end up lopsided is more proof of it.

It's absolutely confusion. But confusion just means needing to find out where your lines really are.

Goodness. So... I wanted to start this first sentence with 'more than ninety people read this story and-', but then quickly realized: votes don't equal readers. Heck, views don't, either. And I can't even see those. The intention behind that first sentence was meant to express my astonishment about the voting ratio. 90+ votes, and a surprisingly high number of downvotes. And then there's a whole of four comments. Four. Now, admittedly, the story is just a couple days old. But already, the first comment - without being offensive or anything - has almost as many downvotes as it has upvotes. And at least two people made the effort to downvote the other comments as well, which, again, are neither offensive nor impolite.
I like to think that it's obvious where this intense dislike is coming from. And it does appear to be intense, if I compare it to other stories. The topic of sexual identity is coming up more and more these days. Limitations and boundaries, non-binary sexuality, how hard some push it, and how hard others push back against it.
It's a shame, really. And I mean the toxicity with which this discussion is laced. If you even consider it a 'discussion', seeing how people tear each other apart in places. The internet especially.
I've been coming to FimFiction for years. It has been my safe haven for years. I could lurk around, read, and that would allow me to flee into another world and hide there. I still do that. A lot. Because I still need that. But with more and more stories popping up that draw this... volatility, it feels less and less like a safe haven. And more like 'just another minefield'. Which breaks my little, shriveled heart.
Now, enough complaining about those who use downvotes.

Let's talk about the story itself.
It's actually really good. From a technical standpoint, I did not notice a single issue. And that aside, the pacing was great, the characters were spot-on, their interactions felt honest and heart-felt... it was really, really nice. And I have to say, those two lines:

Then she blinked again. “What.”

&

[...] and I’m worried about the otter—”

They made me chuckle for a good while. Twi's so endearing.

And as a final note. I read the four comments before going in. Because of marcelojj's comment, I half-expected to notice this point where everything would transition into 'being all over the place'. I caught myself searching for that. And I couldn't find it. To me, at least, everything felt fluid and logical.

You did a marvelous job. Thank you for writing.

On suggestion, removed the porn tag (but left the sex tag) since that seemed to mislead people about the nature of this story.

That was really lovely

“It’s kind of hard to explain. I don’t think I want to have sex with you the same way Rarity would want to have sex with you, or you with Rarity, but asexuality is a wide spectrum. I think within certain parameters, I wouldn’t dislike sex. If that’s the case, then you’re definitely someone I’d like to try it with.” Fluttershy smiled. “I know you’ll keep it safe.”

Ah, so Fluttershy is somewhere between sex repulsed and sex neutral, but a bit closer to netrual from the sound of it. That’s a really neat idea!

This fic (along with it’s prequel) are some of my all-time favorites on this site. The “eternal pining” that plagues many fics is outright skipped, and they’re both so warm and fuzzy! The unapologetically LGBT-positivity is also a huge bonus. Huge kudos!

Glad you enjoyed them! Fluttershy is indeed repulsed by certain aspects of sex (as we see in the story) but is able to navigate around them with a trusted partner.
