No, but I also highly doubt Amy is "forcing" anything on Sheldon. Expressing her sexuality and hoping to be fulfilled isn't forcing him to bang her, and is within the bounds of a relationship as long as he hasn't had a frank "I have no interest in having sex with you and do not appreciate these advances" conversation.

If he has, then she's being awful. If he hasn't...it may mean they're ultimately sexually incompatible, but she's not being *bad* by being sexual..

[diet_poison]

I think they mean she's pressuring him/trying to convince him.

From fandom osmosis: he's asexual, she's not asexual and really wants a sexual relationship. My opinion: they are definitely NOT compatible...

[(Anonymous)]

This. She pressures him just about every time the topic comes up. I prefer her earlier characterization before the writers decided to make her into a sad, horny chick whose "boyfriend" barely wants to touch her.

[(Anonymous)]

And to me, who granted has a limited frame of reference to work with, this all reeks of trying to shame Amy for her sexuality. As has been pointed out many times in this comm, many asexuals can and do have sex with their romantic partners. And until there's a line in the sand from Sheldon, I don't necessarily think Amy expressing a desire for a sexual relationship is this horrible thing that poor little Sheldon can barely cope with.

Why, Dreamwidth, why do you log me out?

As the resident The Big Bang Theory watcher, I can clarify. Sheldon has never said that he is Asexual (it was quite clearly stated in one episode that he represses his sexual urges, but that does not necessarily mean Sheldon isn't Asexual), what he is is uncomfortable with physical touch, and he is also hella scared of germs. He has stated on the show both to Amy and to Penny that he wants to get to a point where he can have a physical relationship with Amy, but he might never get there and it will take time.

And yes Amy does pressure Sheldon, but most of the time she does not force him to do anything, there have been moments in the show that have been not cool, but all in all they are both trying their best.

Where was I? Amy did once give a pretty great speech to some of the other characters about the fact that they look at her and Sheldons relationship as something less real, because they don't have sex and how that is not the truth. That their relationship is just as "adult" and real as everyone elses even if they don't have sex. And that it is their business, not everyones elses.

And Sheldon can cope quite well, he knows Amy wants to have sex with him, he also wants to give her that. But at the present moment that isn't happening, but if he really was uncomfortable with the situation he could leave it.

[dancing_clown]

Huh. That actually sounds kind of awesome.

[making_excuses]

It is, but there are also shitty parts and the show isn't always as great at showing the stuff I mentioned, but it is there.

[diet_poison]

At this point I just have to shrug because I haven't watched enough of the show to say either way. What I got is from fandom osmosis, and it may or may not be accurate :P

(I kind of thought there was a line in the sand from Sheldon, but obviously that may be inaccurate...)

[(Anonymous)]

I agree and I'm asexual. What people who shame Amy forget is that Sheldon keeps telling her that he's going to eventually have sex with her. And he doens't allow her to leave the relationship that's clearly not satisfyign for her, or to get close with other men.

[diet_poison]

Doesn't...allow her?

Does he make the rules for her life??
