when chasing a partner for sexual reasons, the quickest way to have your desire understood is through explicit dress, explicit actions, and explicit words. Such is 'sexy'. Yet, this direct behaviour feels somehow debased, because it renders us beasts and fails to fully explore the possibilities of human sexuality.

what sets us apart from animals? imagination! thus, implicit dress, implicit actions, and implicit words can create a sexual tension that is unmatched by explicit behaviour. "Kaikan Phrase" knows it well -- virgins have a greater capacity to imagine sexual acts and derive from it than those who have already committed the acts.

a touch of the finger tips, a glance, a smile/smirk -- some may say that it's too innocent, but played the right way it can be damn hot.

i want the two main couples in my story, Klyde+Darmien and Truen+Katrias, to be able to display this discrepancy between innocence and sensuality. The same touches, the same behaviour -- different intentions.

of course, it's only going to be an underlying theme in the bigger picture, but emotional tension and expectations are what i want to keep the characters going. while they deal with other issues lmao.
