[There is a pause. Which is perhaps telling, considering that it's Heizou. Since this gives him a moment to ponder: what sorts of actions would cause Sherlock to speak so vaguely? Why would he be so unwilling to divulge further information?
And a theory forms.]
My dear Sherlock, are you embarrassed about this dream of yours?
You're not going insane, my friend! Your dreams are just manifesting your subconscious desires. It's quite normal to have dreams like that of people you have strong feelings for. :3
It is referred to self abuse or self pollution in my world because of the mental and physical ailments it brings about. I've not seen one reference or mention of it without also saying the dangers of engaging in that activity.
Sherlock, I can promise you that physically pleasuring yourself will not hurt you. In fact, I'm fairly sure that not taking care of it at all when the need arises is just as likely to cause you problems.
You did. But Sherlock, this also isn't behavior exclusive to people attracted to the same sex. Surely people expect couples to consummate their marriage and have children, right? Why would a similar act that affects only one person be considered an ailment of the mind and/or body?
[Sherlock's obliviousness to all things sex-related is both adorable and concerning. Heizou knows he's never been even remotely interested in it, but coupled with his world's way of thinking... Someone please help that world out.]
Yes, I'm quite certain women do it, too. The method would be different of course, but that need for relief still exists. It's often part of why extramarital affairs are so common.
Sherlock, under no circumstances are you ever allowed to simply forego sleep to avoid your troubles. I'll start sewing your plush charms onto all of your clothes if you so much as try such a strategy.
[And he's very serious about that.]
I know it's embarrassing, but I promise you it's perfectly healthy to do.
[But also-- Oh. Heizou isn't sure he wants to go over the specifics of what they're talking about with Sherlock at the moment. Despite all his teasing, even Heizou still has a limit that's been ingrained from a life of Inazuman propriety.]
It shouldn't be difficult to figure out, but I'm sure there are also some books or something you can borrow from somewhere to learn more...

I suppose they have been a little more... risqué than usual. Has that been happening to you?

no subject
Date: 16 Feb 2025 04:36 (UTC)John is not acting as he does in reality. He is being far too forward and affectionate.

Wait, are you implying that women do that too?!
[ At least Sherlock is aware of lesbians now thanks to this world... ]

Date: 16 Feb 2025 23:06 (UTC)Yes, I'm quite certain women do it, too. The method would be different of course, but that need for relief still exists. It's often part of why extramarital affairs are so common.

Date: 18 Feb 2025 07:19 (UTC)Are those really the only options available? There must be some other method. Perhaps I need to forgo sleep while I'm here...
[ No, Sherlock. Avoiding sleep is not the solution whenever you have dream related issues. ]
