I never do these . . . but I need to try breaking away from tales of my mom
So I totally took this off of sarcastic_fina , and I won't tag anyone because I'm probably usually the last person to see these anyway, and also because I really think people should have the option of thinking about it rather than being told, "You're it!"
List fifteen fictional characters you would have sex with (in no particular order) and tag five people to do the same.
Like I said, there will be no tagging, and I'm putting it below the cut because I'm sure lots of people are really not interested in my choices on the matter. I'm also adding in some personal comments because I think sometimes you see people on these lists that you just don't get, and I figure the justification may help those who ask, "Why the hell would you pick him?" Also, this presumes the character is not cheating on anyone, is not being coerced in any way and is unlikely to be thinking of England either metaphorically or literally while performing the act.
1) Daemon Sadi of the Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop.
I'm putting him first because he springs to mind first. For those who have not read the BJT and associated books, Daemon is more than a thousand years old (I'm not giving a number because I do not own the books and therefore cannot reliably check the numbers) and was a sex slave for most of those centuries. He's described repeatedly as the sexiest thing on two legs in pretty much all the multiverse of the books, and with that much experience, whoosh. Seriously. He's supposed to be able to bring a woman to the heights of ecstasy without even trying.
2) Saetan SaDiablo, father of Daemon Sadi
Like father, like son. The father's a gazillion years old, he's dead and he's incredibly proper. But he and Daemon are supposed to mirror each other (it's a plot thing) and his style matches Daemon's but it's different enough that I get the feeling there would be less unexplored heights, but there'd be more schmoopy tenderness, and hey, I can be very much a closet romantic, so he's so on the list.
3) Dean Winchester
How could I leave off the brothers Winchester? They're pretty, but Dean's not only very pretty, he's also pretty damned experienced, and we also know that he's a good guy, so there's none of that, "If he's that experienced, get worried about the reasons why." We know why. It's 90% one night stands. On the other hand, the question is who you'd sleep with, not who you'd try a relationship with. Which is a partially different list. However, I also love his snark, which can be fantastic when he chooses, and the fact that he built an EMF meter out of a busted walkman? Makes my inner geek purr.
4) Sam Winchester
I can't leave him off, but I'll admit it's mostly a fascination with the abs. I have a feeling I'd be like Becky the superfan. "Can you stop touching me?" "No." Fixation on the spot just below the ribcage, y'know? So I'm being shallow. I'll admit, part of this is shine rubbing off of Dean and onto him.
5) F'nor of the Pern series by Anne McCaffrey
Some might ask why not his brother and weyrleader F'lar. I say F'nor seems like the kind of guy who'd be a fun roll in the hay, F'lar is too intense. Also, I think he has some weird mutation with his eyes, because they're amber coloured and change with the changing mood of his dragon. Also, also, F'lar's dragon, Mnementh doesn't have as much of a sense of humour as Canth. Like rider, like dragon.
6) Darkwind from the Valdemar series by Mercedes Lackey
When you come down to it, this is a thing about who you'd have a one night stand with. Or maybe 91/2 weeks. Yes, I'm referencing a movie I've never seen. Your point? Anyhoo. He's all exotic and pretty and once he stops being constantly dour he's just lots of fun. His flirting is a blast and I love that total comfort with his sexuality that just seems to ooze out of his pores. He's not gay, but he's so comfortable in his own skin, he doesn't care if anyone thinks he is.
7) Spike. Inevitably.
I love Spike. But I may be someone who loves him for different reasons. The thing is, I'm a dialogue person. That is, I fall for a character sometimes, based on how they talk. Not the accent, though Spike's is very cool, but the word use. You see, when you talk about a character in film, stage or television, that character is not just one person's creation. He or she is the synthesis of the actor's physical self and the acting choices he or she makes, with the words in the script, and the director's direction. Spike is more than just what James Marster's chose to throw into his portrayal. He's someone who can speak in the most amazing way without stopping, without pausing to think about it and without ever having any sort of awkward moment. I love people who get words. Spike's speech in Fool for Love, the whole, "Every slayer has a death wish," speech. That is the one thing Spike did in the series that turned me on the most. It was amazing and fluid and clear and poetic and I found it sexy as hell. So yes, the cheekbones, yes the lovely upper body we saw from time to time, yes the ensemble only he and possibly a young Billy Idol could pull off, more than a century of carnal experience and all that. But what really gets me with Spike is the words.
8) Gambit from the X-Men cartoon of the mid-90s.
I want to be very specific here, because I haven't read the comic books, and as much as the Wolverine movie did have a Gambit, he really wasn't there enough to make a call. So I want to place exactly where I'm getting the character from. I love the way he usually has a quip ready, I love his slick personality, and I love the way he just seems like so much fun. I place great stock in fun, not only because this entry is about fun, but also because, frankly, who wants to spend time around a person you don't enjoy spending time with? Say what you want about Angel's brooding, but you could see the occasional hints when he and Buffy were in one of their good phases that they enjoyed spending time together for more reasons than eyesex and smooching. To be somewhat delicate about it. Back to my point. One last thing. It takes a confident guy to rock hot pink body armour and still look masculine and sexy. In conclusion, Gambit.
9) Geordie LaForge Star Trek: The Next Generation
I think that he's not only good-looking, but I get the feeling a little underestimated by portions of the fanbase. I don't really find Picard to my taste and Riker loses my interest by virtue of being something of a stick-in-the-mud at the same time as being a man-whore. It's an odd combination when you think about it. Geordie is interesting and intelligent and I have to say, there's something to be said for the whole, blind-guy-mapping-you-with-his-fingers cliche. Again, sense of humour. I like his.
10) Leonard McCoy - either one
I like both the one we see on the original Star Trek series and the one in the new movie. I resent the movie for trying to "update" Star Trek, and in doing so losing the essence of what made Trek, Trek, but Karl Urban's McCoy was just as good as the original's. I love that man. He's got a tremendous sense of humour, and you know he's probably an excellent student of human anatomy. Hem. The sense of humour is very key. Or rather, as I said with Spike, the language use. "That green-skinned, green-blooded sonuvabitch. This is his revenge for all those arguments he lost!" That? Is a winning argument with me.
11) Ares from Xena: Warrior Princess
That guy is fun and funny, and if what we saw on the show was any way to judge, a demon in the sack. I loved his banter. I love the guys who can banter in general.
12) Greg Sanders of CSI
He seems like someone fun to be around. He has a sense of humour, an interestingly askew worldview and I just plain think he's good looking.
13) Lindsay McDonald from Angel
Now I want to make it clear that I happen to think that Christian Kane's look as Whatsisname from Leverage is not the best I've seen him look. But Lindsay McDonald? I loved him and his banter. The fact that he sing well too just adds to the attraction. But mostly, it's the banter. And the pretty face. I'm not going to deny being a sucker for the pretty. 'Cause it's significant pretty.
14) Methos from the Highlander tv show
The man has amazing powers of snark. I just love watching him go. Also, that he manages to rock his unusually large schnozz, and has managed to have it become known as one of his sexiest features? That earns extra points right there.
15) X5 494 aka Alec McDowell
Jensen Ackles made the list twice because he is neither Dean Winchester nor Alec McDowell. So we all know I love the pretty that is Ackles, but I also love Alec's snark and the fact that he plays a mean piano. Music gets bonus points, as we have seen with Lindsay.
So . . . TMI, probably. But what have we learned about me? I can't divorce personality from physical appearance when I am thinking about attraction, meaning that I'm not attracted to someone if I find the personality unattractive, but I'm also as much a slave to how pretty a guy looks as anyone else. And my personality attractants are sense of humour and linguistic capability, preferably exercised at the same time.
I'll try harder for something a little less . . . personal next time.
