Reply to comment by StuffonBookshelfs in What other examples like Henry Cavill on The Witcher are there of an actor being opposed to the way their character is portrayed - especially when the actor is in the right? by unitedfan6191

Arya wouldn’t have sex?

Honestly; age issues aside, probably not. She's such a broken singleminded person by then, I don't think she's capable of that kind of intimacy. She's enormously traumatuzed, no one in her life since her mother died has shown her any sort of physical affection, even something as simple as a hug; and her training as a Faceless Assassin is designed to completely dehumanize her.

Yeah, broken people never have sex. This feels like a weird take.

It's almost like that was only one of many contributory factors.

It's the desperate need by the GOT haters to oppose everything about the show.

Arya is the most level headed Stark.

She hasn’t had a story that focused on intimacy before and Gendry was a connection strong enough for people discussing them throughout the entire run of the series.

People tend to say the same thing about Sansa and it comes across that people equate trauma with asexuality when plenty of people who have faced trauma also have sexual desire after the trauma.
