Yeah, that whole "trying not to die" thing can be a serious mood killer.

For serious though, this was my take. They're in a war, she's a complete mess, etc. It's not that she's not a sexual being. It's that she has bigger priorities right now.

Which makes me wonder, you think any tributes end up going "fuck it" and screwing in front of the cameras?

I think the Capitol audience was just *waiting* for that to happen with Katniss and Peeta in the first games. And then it didn't. Ha, ha.

We know it happened in Battle Royale, but that was the grimmer universe. The producer practically said "Sex is good ratings hope we get some desperate fucking and/or rapes"

I bet the District One tributes do it sometimes, entirely strategically, but not every year, so the audience doesn't get used to it.

That HAS to happen!--I would be shocked if it never happened, both because death can be an aphrodisiac and as a tactic (I'll distract this person by snogging them whilst my partner kills them or steals their food).

I remember she certainly had idle thoughts about both Gale and Peeta, but then they'd be skipped over in favour of, well, not-dying and saving others priorities...and I recall she was nervous about a couple of the fake kisses but the impression I got was she withdrew from people when traumatised, not seeked them out for physical affection..

And towards the end of the book in the ending-summary-but-not-epilogue-spot I think it took awhile for her to feel comfortable enough to really be with Peeta beyond bed snuggles.

I want to open my book to double check that but I'm in the middle of gardening with dirty hands. :(
