I think he's fairly comfortable with sex - but is unwilling to talk about it or participate in it until he has gotten to know someone (MC) well enough to trust them. I also feel like it is meant to be very clear that Asterion is gay, although I could be wrong about that.
I don't think you're entirely off target though by saying he needs to have a connection for sex to happen, I just don't think his reason for that required connection is because he is demisexual, but instead because he has been so poorly treated for centuries. So, he needs to fully trust someone (MC) before he is willing to be in any way vulnerable, particularly sexually.

I feel like Asterion would enjoy logic/puzzle games, exploration games (since he is stuck in the Hotel for now, it might be a cool way to see the outside world), farming/simulator games...
I don't really see Asterion getting into violent video games considering everything he has been through... But I could be wrong
Edit: I bet he'd like Minecraft!
Again I get where you're coming from ... but ultimately they owe you nothing ... you haven't payrolled this VN, or contributed Art, Music, Dialogue, Edits, you haven't done anything besides take part in experiencing it.
I'm sure the DevTeam is glad you're passionate about the VN, that's awesome! But just because you are enjoying the VN doesn't mean you are owed anything...
If they don't want to send out an update right now, so be it. You just need to accept that and wait patiently like everyone else, and doing anything besides that could risk antagonizing the Devs to the point that they may not way to continue updating the VN...
Again I do understand where you are coming from, but ultimately you just need to be patient, quiet, and support the Devs in any way you can. :)
I mean they are working on this as a labor of love, and they aren't taking money for it (and to my knowledge I believe they never plan to take money for it)
...
I am sure they are still working on it, but these things take time, especially if you want it to be done well (and I am sure it will be done expertly!)
Just stay patient :D
Ah! I hadn't see that post (I'll have to go find it now :D ) I suppose it makes sense that those contracts might prevent the Master and the guests of the hotel from getting sick, or lessening/ curing any existing sickness, but it would likely still harm Asterion considering the Labyrinth is meant for torture.
It's strange sometimes I forget that the Labyrinth is still meant to be torturing Asterion, because I get too focused on how it has become the Hotel, which is meant to be a place of healing for others (at least that is what Asterion is trying to turn the Labyrinth into).
So I had a bit of a random shower thought earlier... I was wondering what would happen if you gave Asterion a DNA or ancestry test. He's technically a hybrid human and bovid, possibly some god DNA in there too from Poseidon?
My best guess is it would definitely show his human Cretean heritage from his mother. I am unsure about the rest though.
Then my mind had *another* idea, if Asterion is a hybrid (Human. Bovid, [God?]) does he also have a human style immune system? The hotel/labyrinth I think is some type of extra-dimensional space that's why P and Oscar had trouble finding it, and why it is able to appear anywhere for travelers. So Asterion may not have encountered some common illnesses because the realm is technically separate from our reality, only appearing and reappearing where it needs to... So, could Asterion get sick from the common cold, as an example, especially if he hadn't encountered that variant before?
I do have a couple of questions about lore and random background details, but I want to hold off on asking directly about them until I've experienced the whole story, since I do get the impression they will be answered over the course of the story.
One of my questions does revolve around the purple crystal oily stuff in the R&D area, but I'm hoping we'll figure out what that is through the rest of the story. (I do have some ideas about it. It might be ichor, maybe from one of the gods or more likely from Asterion... I am not sure why it's there, or if it has any purpose, but we'll see. I might be way off on that idea)
I've been thinking about everything I've learned throughout the VN and all of the questions I've been forming as the story progresses. I know the Devs are hard at work getting the final act(s) of the story together as we near the end of the VN, and that left me with a few questions...
Hopefully the VN will wrap up a large majority of the questions readers have and will tie a bow on nearly all of the plot lines going on. I am sure that some of the plot lines will be more open ended than others, leaving readers to fill in the gaps and draw their own conclusions based on evidence and clues (things like: the shed, or the purple crystal/dust that's oily etc...)
But my question is: Once the VN is done, if readers have questions about a certain plot line or aspect of the story, can we outright ask the Devs about it? If we are having trouble piecing everything together, can we just directly ask you all a question, and will you give us a clear answer? (Assuming we have made at least some attempt to puzzle it out ourselves? Because sometimes I have trouble putting clues together, and eventually it would be nice to just have a clear answer...)
Hope this makes sense 😃♥️♥️🐮
Minotaur Hotel community · Replied to TrinexxSlayer in minohotel has the perfect location to be a horror game
Wasn't Aphrodite married to Hephaestus? Maybe they were off doing something else during the vote? 🤣😜
All joking aside...
You mentioned: "I think I mentioned it previously, that MC and Asterion reaching Asphodel together would be a wonderful happily ever after. Although, Luke and Kota are unlikely to go there, judging by what little we know of the afterlife and how you get assigned to a relevant place."
I do expect that the story of Asterion and MC will continue with the 'soft' ending being the two of them living together as they grow old, and the 'hard' ending being the both of them dying and going to the Underworld together. It would be sad that Kota and Luke wouldn't be there, but at least Asterion and MC would have each other.
Admittedly I want ALL the answers, but I know that's not reasonable and I know that the creators aren't going to do that anyways.
At the end of this I want the big questions to be answered, either directly or with enough clues we can piece together the answer ourselves, and to have just a few unanswered questions that we know enough broad information a out that this community can try to form some hypothesis on what might have happened...
I do want a real concrete ending for Asterion and MC and I want it to be as happy and ending as is possible for them.
I definitely agree I think salt is important I just don't know what kind and how big a role it may play later in the story.
I definitely think the weather could be altered, and I wonder if it's simply thatno other Master has thought to try and alter the weather before...?
I do think Hades would take some pity or show favor towards MC as it is mentioned in Asterion's death flashback that he was in Hades guard and it seemed Hades disagreed with Asterion's punishment... So he might see MC's interference with the other Gods' plans as a good thing...
I do think that one happy ending to this whole story would be a jump forward into the future where both Asterion and MC have died and gone to the Underworld together and live in the Asphodel meadows.
Honestly the hotel could be used in so many ways to dramatically improve the quality of life for the vast majority, or entirety, of the world. Obviously that's not the direction this VN is going, but I've definitely thought about the various ways it could be best used...
Or as Greta would say "We could use it for science!"
The hotel, or more specifically the *spoiler*, translates all languages into the native language of the listener... Do people and mythicals still have accents?
More importantly does Asterion have an accent, and if so what is it? Or would his accent be fairly neutral from having been exposed to hundreds of accents across many hundreds of years?
