Is Cordelia asexual?

[smgismyqueenjpg]

I saw this playlist about Asexual!Cordelia. I was wondering if anyone else thought of this like I have. Doubt this will get any replies. Well, I just had to post about it. 😉

Why don't you think she is?

Because she's been sexually attracted to Angel, Xander and her other boyfriends 😀
Although, she never had sex with Xander.

Maybe, she pretended to have one.

Exactly. But sadly that happened, I do wonder why Cordy didn't have sex with Xander, they were together for quite a while.

She pretended to have a boyfriend? Because well Angel and Xander were onscreen boyfriends, not to mention that demon guy that got her pregnant.

If She stay on Buffy and forgive Xander and Buffy and Williow, and went back out with Xander, not Wesley.

I don't think Cordelia is in any way asexual. She has sexual feelings towards men, and has sex with men, there's no evidence to asexuality. I'm curious as to why you think she could be asexual?

They could have sex at that point but Cordy still lost her chance to be Xander's first time.

I saw this playlist on tumblr.

By the end of season 3 of Angel, I saw her as a completely desexualised person. Was that what you meant?

Well she could be I guess. I can't remember her talking about any sexual feelings. Though she did act sexualised, but that's not really the same thing. I can't think of her mentioning she ever got sexual pleasure from anyone.

Faith talked about her down low tickle, and Buffy talked about Spike 'getting it done' and when Angel kisses her she wants to die, which could be referencing the 'litttle death' but I don't remember Cordy referencing sexual feelings, only romantic ones, and that's something different again.

But then in Waiting In The Wings, she seemed to be enjoying Angel's ministrations, so on balance I'd say she probably wasn't asexual. Though she was under a spell at the time.

@smgismyqueenjpg you come up with some cracking threads😀

Can you share the link to that tumblr post? I'm a little confused about the question and perhaps the post will clear it up.

She's not asexual. Not even demisexual. Despite that she did look to see how she could use guys for her own selfish gain that typically put both sexual and romantic attraction as a lesser priority (until later in Angel), she seemed to find Angel genuinely hot (I'm talking on Buffy), she was attracted to Wesley even if the kissing didn't work, she had the wild attraction to Xander that she didn't want to have, and she showed way too much lust toward Groo. Definitely sexual, though she rarely lost her head over it, remaining practical most of the time (if also often shallow).

I do recall her saying that if ghost Dennis wasn't such a master with the loofah brush, she wouldn't have any male contact at all. This was in the context of all of them complaining about their nonexistent sex lives.

I wondered about the treatment of Cordelia's sexuality, looked up the four main writers are all male hence the sexualized but not sexual. I think this thing happens where a double standard gets applied to the main lead female character which Cordelia was the only one for a while, Wesley had a on screen on night stand I thought a episode where that had been Cordelia would have been better she was apparently the in universe attractive and worldly one but nerdy Wesley gets to have a waking up underneath the sheets love scene.

A relationship came from this tryst but to my eyes it looked like a inferred reference to a one night stand. I would have enjoyed Cordelia's sexuality getting this treatment with Wesley's casual references to late night hook ups. Remember this was a time before Sex And The City. Cordelia gets the protective Scully treatment in terms of sex yet put her in a bikini, the camera never ever lingers on the shirtless muscled torso of the men unless that is in a desexualized matter of fact way.

Although I don't care for the opening scene of Fringe, this pattern emerged after Sex and the city and Grey's Anatomy where the strong female lead has to be introduced frolicking in bed, For a man this introduction would signify a casanova, it is more a common occurrence for female characters and signifies not much of anything? I don't know it's complicated.. that's why it helps to have female writers.
