I'm pretty sure it's not confirmed in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's version, either.

Psst. That's the version I'm talking about. :)

I don't know if it's actual canon in any other version, either, although it would be a perfectly valid interpretation if it were. I think I read somewhere that Benedict Cumberbatch considered the Sherlock version of Sherlock asexual, but his is not the only opinion that matters with regards to the show and I don't what Moffat and Gatiss prefer for the character (if they even care). There are multiple ways to interpret Holmes' behavior and yeah, which one you prefer may have a lot to do with your own experiences. That means these interpretations are valid, but not unbiased or Absolute Truth.

Jeremy Brett played Holmes as bisexual. He flirts with Watson in several key scenes. There are many ways to interpret Doyle's text.

[fenm]

Does he portray Holmes as being attracted to any women, though? I do;t recall that happening, though that could be selective memory

Irene Adler?

Re: da

[fenm]

Maybe. Canonically there was nothing between them, and the show stuck pretty close to canon (esp. at the beginning), but... maybe he put that in... I've not seen that episode in a long time.

It shows him being entranced by her singing and describing her as having "a face a man might die for"...make of that what you will.

OP, read what you like. But don't assume that your take on the characters is the only permissible take.

Re: da

[fenm]

Well, in canon, he says,
"I only caught a glimpse of her at the moment, but she was a lovely woman, with a face that a man might die for."
So... [shrug]

Steven Moffat has stated that Sherlock's not asexual, but his reasoning is so stupid ("asexuals are boring to write for"), I pretty much disregard it.

Benedict Cumberbatch's views of asexuality are even more ridiculous. The way he talks about it, it's like something you turn off and on. Namely, he said [pre-S2] that Sherlock was asexual because he got burned by a woman, then recently he said Sherlock stopped being asexual when he met Irene... yeah, that's not how it works.

When one of them expresses a view about asexuality that suggests they actually understand what the fuck it even IS, I'll care. Until then, I just watch show and base my views about the characters from that.

lol specialest of snowflakes! you're a dick.

[(Anonymous)]

How was that comment even remotely dickish or special snowflakey?

[diet_poison]

maybe anon's response was a misfire? because yeah, I didn't get that vibe either, at all.

THIS!

Oh, Jesus, I can't do anything involving words today. I thought you were talking about one of the television versions I haven't seen.

S'okay!
