<< And being a 25-year-old virgin... *shudders* I lost mine when I was in high school, for shit's sake. <<
Yes, and I still have mine in college, and am in no particular hurry to lose it. Really, not to be rude or argumentative, but your comment there comes off as more than a little insulting. So you lost yours young, fine; more power to you. Kindly don't assume that what holds true for you holds true for everyone else.
As for Subaru, I see no reason that he wouldn't still be a virgin. He's anti-social, lives alone, and does, from my understanding, nothing but look for Seishirou and do his job in the time period between TB and X. He's certainly not the type to have casual sex after Seishirou's betrayal. As for sex with Seishirou, well, I just don't see it. CLAMP showed us Arashi and Sorata's first time; I don't see why one of their most popular pairings ever would be any different. For that matter, I'm afraid I've never understood why, if the relationship is so fascinating and complex and dark and convoluted etc., it's so neccessary to add sex to it and make it something it isn't. An interesting AU, perhaps, but done to death. For random yaoi smut, sure. But actual canon? I doubt it.
<< I like all the X pairings, personally ^^, except for FuumaxKakyou (I love Fuuma but can barely stand Kakyou) and KotorixKamui. ICK. Imagine the torture the poor boy would go through... <<
I assume, since you said that you like all the X pairings, that it isn't a OMG HET YUCK!!!1 sort of thing. As someone who actually likes Kotori (and I know that's rare in this fanbase), then, could I ask that you maybe explain what 'torture' a relationship with someone so sweet and loving and gentle would involve? Really, I understand a yaoi fangirl preferring FxK to KxK, but that's no reason to bash Kotori or depict the relationship as something that it clearly, given Kotori's personality, would not have been. She's DEAD, she's obviously not much competition. Why such viritrol for her?
<< I am sure one would find it EXTREMELY hard to keep their horomones at level in the presence of someone that striking, especially one so maladjusted as Subaru.<<
Being maladjusted does not make him horny. He certainly seems to have his hormones well enough in check around Seishirou that Seishirou never guessed what Subaru's real Wish was and had to be told that his assumption was wrong by Fuuma. Screwed up as Subaru is, I hardly think he's going to go have sex with Kamui, in part because of his obsession with Seishirou, in part because I think he cares enough for Kamui that he is not going to do something as damaging as to have sex with him knowing that it can never be anything lasting. Kamui's had his closest friend turn on him already; how would he take someone as intimate a sexual partner as Subaru would be making very clear that he can never love Kamui first, that, if it came to Seishirou or Kamui, he would ALWAYS choose Seishirou? For that matter, as twisted as his relationships to date have been, I really think if he got involved with Kamui, he wouldn't be able to help but compare himself leading Kamui on to the way Seishirou strung Subaru himself along in TB, and I don't think he'd want to do that to anyone, much less Kamui.
For that matter, given what Kamui's experiences have been to date, I don't think Subaru would think it wise to have sex with him. He's too vulnerable right now. He's still not over Kotori's death, having had at LEAST puppy love for her, and any feelings he may have for Fuuma are twisted by Fuuma's S&M streaks. It would be like sleeping with someone because they're vulnerable on a rebound; NOT something Kamui needs right now, and debatably really wrong in a moral sense. Even with the best of intentions from a seme, Kamui is vulnerable and in no kind of proper mental state to be making decisions about sexual partners or romance. I think it would make him very dependant on Subaru, and Subaru, knowing himself as well as he does, just can't in good conscience allow Kamui to do that.
Kamui and Subaru have an interesting relationship, yes, and one with vast potential for comfort with them both, but I just can't see it as sexual, because I don't think Subaru (unless it's a dark Sakurazukamori!Subaru) would let himself get that far with Kamui, even if he WAS tempted otherwise.
That's not to say it can't be well-written and developed to be believable, certainly, but, to say the least, it would be a lot of work. Getting Kamui willing, yes, that's not so difficult--wanting to please Subaru, wanting Subaru to stay with the Seals or give up his self-destructive obsession with Seishirou, wanting someone to show him (Kamui) sex as it should be, these are all valid reasons (if not ones made with a clear head) that Kamui would have sex with Subaru. Getting Subaru to do it, though, would be far more difficult, as you have to deal with his feelings for Seishirou AND for Kamui. Managing without making Subaru either overly mushy or overly uncaring is a very fine line to walk.
Just my thoughts on the pairing in a sexual sense.
