Like, you need passion, and he\u2019s gentle, or you need soft and he\u2019s wild. <\/p>\n<p>Irene has a specific skill set, but that means she\u2019s also only best for a specific subset. And everything seems to indicate that her relationship with Kate is no exception.<\/p>\n<p>Sally and Anderson cheat. Even that aside, I imagine Sally, giving everything she\u2019s had to fight against her whole life to end up where she is, would refuse to let go and share the necessary vulnerability that makes sex truly spectacular. Anderson is woefully unobservant. He\u2019d do the same things, not noticing what made you gasp with pleasure as compared to gasp in discomfort. <\/p>\n<p>Mycroft would be too proper, if he deigned to his bodily needs at all. I feel like to lose any ounce of control would burst the damn so to speak, and so he\u2019d be just as controlled in sex as he is in a diplomatic meeting. <\/p>\n<p>Molly, I think would be perfectly lovely, albeit unadventurous. She\u2019s mostly unobtrusive, and even in season 3, as she learns to speak up for herself more loudly, I can see that translating to getting the pleasure she wants. Whereas perhaps in the past, she\u2019d just accept that she didn\u2019t always achieve climax. (I\u2019ll bet she does now, though).<\/p>\n<p>Anthea is shrouded in too much mystery to make a good call. I daresay she likes the power and touch of intrigue, and that she\u2019d be more turned on by the courtship than the sex itself. <\/p>\n<p>Mrs Hudson might have won a few decades ago, but you know she\u2019s got that hip now, dear. <\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s safe to say that Moriarty probably doesn\u2019t take his sexual partner\u2019s wants and needs into high consideration. <\/p>\n<p>But Greg. <\/p>\n<p><i><b>Greg<\/b><\/i>. <\/p>\n<p>Greg, who can see the good in Sherlock, despite the coarse personality Sherlock puts on, who can concede when he is out of his depth and ask for help? Greg, who can make the power play when he needs to, who knows when to push, and when to relent. Who rises to occasion when he\u2019s needed, but doesn\u2019t involve himself where he\u2019s not needed. Greg can play the bad guy, the good guy, and anyone in between. He hopes for the best; gives second chances, and cares so much about what he does. <\/p>\n<p>Now translate all that. <\/p>\n<p>Greg, very much living in the moment, seeing the best of you, knowing when to ask what you like, and knowing how to find what you like just as well. Instinctively being the good, soft, gentle lover, or the rough, passionate fuck, because he always rises to the occasion. He knows when you need space, when you need comfort; he knows when to tell you what he needs, and he knows when it\u2019s time to lay back and let you take what you need. <\/p>\n<p>Not to mention:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"tmblr-full\"><img alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/78.media.tumblr.com\/d266fc924bb20bd2fe46a1897558a1c6\/tumblr_inline_o1f1ussadZ1sr646l_500.gif\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>(Of course this all assumes they are at the very least, not sex-adverse, and likely demi and\/or allosexual. I think that many of the characters could be read in a variety of ways regarding their sexuality.
