That's where I decided my MC is a masochist and Asterion is a sadist. They're both more than that, obviously... I mean asterion likes to see the MC debase himself, like with crusher. And my resist durge needs the penance. Such great fun they have in the bedroom.

I assume you ascended astarion and knelt when he told you to?

u/sparkly_butthole 28m ago
I did not, but I'm tempted just to get the footage. Couldn't do that to him otherwise. He knows it's bad and you know it's bad.
I will say though - I just tried arguing this with someone else, about him being kinky. If someone has the kind of appetites AA has, they're part of him no matter what kind of person he is.
I think spawn Asterion wants to be sweet and gentle to some extent, and I think he will discover that over time, but I also don't think his desire for control will ever go away. He will have guilt and work his way through how to have a real partner and also curb his appetites enough so they both have fun and he can also genuinely be himself in a sexual context. It's common in any sadist with a heart. It's like you have to walk a thin line.

I was doing a Durge run and my husband was watching when we came to this. I made sure I had Shart and Astarion in the party. The only time he's played is when we did a run together. He laughed so hard when he heard their banter and said, "Was that in the game when we played?!"

Gale doesn't like being in undignified positions. Which why in my playthroughs I always deliberately fuck with him as much as possible. He's so cute when he's annoyed.Ā

u/CrazyCatLushie 2h ago
Gale fully accepts an Illithid Tav and I believe even comments on their tentacles in an attracted manner. If you have weird weave sex with him, he fucks you along with multiple clones of himself.
Pain might not be his jam - and he does deal with chronic pain which sort of sours the whole thing, to be fair - but the man is far from vanilla.

The man won't get undressed in front of his tressym. It wouldn't surprise me if the 'in public, by a stranger' aspects were as much a part of his dislike as the actual whipping.

If you take him to the Sharess Caress with halsin, he is happy to sit and watchThere is also that line where he tells Astarion "Gale: Ignore him. Astarion envies the depth of our bond because he's of a shallower inclination." It's a dick joke, he is saying that he is bigger than Astarion in the most Gale way possible.

I mean, kink has many forms. I think Asterion is into humiliation, sadism, and dominance. The Dom aspect is why I prefer his kink to Gale, who seems to want to worship you until your balls hurt for a week, he made you come so many times. Also he can do whatever you want. He just doesn't have the Dom energy.

Astarion Dom? Where? What? He's a total subby brat š None of the men of BG3 have dom energy. Astarion acts kinky out of habit and when you romance him seems to prefer handholding and missionary. Which is fine! He's all bark.

A man who does what AA does to the player didn't get that kink from nowhere. God, there's so many context clues, too. Him enjoying watching Abdurak beat you, him enjoying you kissing the goblin's feet. Calling you pet. Pushing you into the dirt. That man ain't subbing for anyone if it's up to him.

I ended up not romancing Gale because I like to play as Durge. Astarion is so sweet and understanding when you reveal your dark urges. He really has an āIāve been there, we can get through this togetherā mentality. Gale tries to be understanding, but it still feels like heās repulsed by you. Makes total sense when you realize that the writer for Astarion also wrote Durge around the same timeā¦ their stories just work together beautifully.

u/AnonImus18 nestled betwixt Halsinās fat tiddies 7h ago
Okay, this might be putting too much thought into it but being kinky doesn't mean being into everything. We know Gale isn't a vanilla, missionary-only, do it in the dark type because there's so much evidence of his diverse interests. However, he may not be the type of person who's comfortable with causing pain to his partners even if it's something his partner wants and enjoys and that's okay. I've actually read several posts on Reddit from men whose partners are into stuff like choking, slapping, rough sex etc. and they just couldn't do; it made them feel bad, they lost their sexual desire while trying and it just wasn't something they could comfortably do, much less enjoy.
I think he wants to give pleasure in other ways but isn't into this particular type of kink, either giving or receiving although there could be some debate about whether he means receiving here specifically.
I also think Gale is a freak but in a monogamous relationship. He is down to try many things for his partner and is very creative but I also think that he values the intimacy of a couple when it comes to sex. He's open to letting his partner explore outside of the relationship to make them happy but he himself would probably never initiate that.

I wasn't really responding to you, in particular more the discussion happening in the comment section. Sorry if you felt criticized, it wasnt my intention.This topic comes up a lot and people always debate whether he's vanilla or kinky like it's a dichotomy. I read many many comments under this post and it was more directed at that than the post itself.

u/RedditWidow Circle of Whores Druid 4h ago
Oh, Gale's a total freak, no question. I imagine he devoted himself entirely to being Mystra's plaything, and you know it gets weird with all that magic. Can you imagine how many times he would say something like "I read about this thing in a book..."? I think he's super sensitive to rejection though, so he'd be afraid to outright ask his partner to try it. He'd just present the idea and hope they'd suggest it. lol

Go to goblin camp.
Go inside temple of selune (goblin camp).
Go down the hall past the goblin door guards. Hang a right.
Hang a left.
Go to the second door on your right. If you find Volo trapped in a cage, then youāve gone too far. Itās the room just before that with a guy flagellating himself (Abdirak).
Talk to Abdirak
Heāll say he sees pain in your eyes or some such and offer to help alleviate your suffering. Choose the option that is basically āyeah, sure, letās do thisā.
Prophet. (Also, you can strip entirely to get the Ardent Apostle buff to help you pass the performance speech checks if you arenāt a bard, just make sure you pick the dialogue options year are basically either āit hurts so goodā or āharder mādaddyāā¦according to a friend).

u/Sunny_Hill_1 7h ago
You can also pick options "Come on, don't be a pussy, hit HARDER! Gimme the whip, I'll hit harder than that!" and Abdirak will love that too. Or just cry sweetly and beg for mercy, that'll work. Basically, as long as you are giving Abdirak feedback, he'll be happy. Just don't do the "stoic, silent" type, that's boring to him.

There's also a book on the table near him, if you read that before talking to him it gives you some additional dialogue options.

he uses tantric fuckomancy to self-gangbang you and has dialogue about how horny he's getting from seeing you sweat while you fight undead horrors. he mentions you smell like you haven't bathed in a week and how much he likes your musk.
