I think that's more what this Ray is, in some ways -- needsexual. Does that make sense?
Ohmigod, yes. That's SO the essence of Ray as a sexual person - and in some ways, I think, the essence of Ray as a person in general, in that he needs so much all the time. He needs Stella, he needs Fraser, he needs friends, he needs to be right, he needs to feel wanted, he needs to feel connected, he needs to feel like he's doing something worthwhile with his life.
::admires the finger nif has put right smack on the point that is Ray::
Still, I appreciate the Ray you've drawn here in part (though not entirely) because his sexuality's not genderspecific. As a card-carrying bi woman, I get a little tired of stories that write off both Ray's and Fraser's patent canon attractions to women as being mistakes, or childish immaturities, or pseudopassions they substituted for their true longings for one another because they didn't think those longings would ever bear fruit, blah blah blah. I have no trouble imagining Ray and Fraser in a committed relationship with one another - or fucking each other senseless, for that matter - while at the same time having romantic and sexual histories that include genuine ties to women.
Ahem. Sorry. Not that I have an opinion about this or anything. /soapbox mode OFF
