Something that's been on my mind for a while....

So I've been looking back at some comments for SE:AMS, and I've noticed a certain complaint/fear that a lot of people have voiced over the course of the series, especially since the second SEquel prototype chapter.

And that complaint/fear is the idea of Hinata having any sort of sexual interactions with a male character other than Naruto. This complaint has always bothered me a lot ever since it was first voice who knows when, and it's one that is hardly a fair one to make.

SE:AMS is a series all about the joys of sex, and sexual understanding, and one where Naruto has had sex not only with Hinata, but also Naruko and Anko, so I have to ask a serious, important question: What gives him a free pass?!

For those of you who didn't know, there was once a different ending to SE:AMS in which Yahiko becomes the fourth member of Team Anko, and he and Hinata have some time together while Anko gets time with Naruto.

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE was pissed about Hinata being with someone other than Naruto, and it's between those complaints, and the fact that I admittedly hadn't thought out such an ending all that well in the first place that it was changed to the ending you now see on FF.

And from what several of the comments on the second Prototype SEquel imply, a mass majority of the votes for the Advanced Sex ed story concept were made specifically to avoid Hinata having any sort of sexual activity with any students (male or otherwise) in her class. Well, hate to say it, but I got news for you all: It's gonna happen no matter what!

When Anko's Advanced class starts up, she and Naruto are going to be her assistants, meaning both of them are going to be stepping outside their comfort zones in her class. This ALSO means that anyone reading is going to have to step outside their comfort zones a little bit! (and I'm not just talking about the idea of Hinata having sex with other males) Even if I do decide on a different premise for the SEquel from the ones I've previously posted, Hinata's probably going to have sex with one or two other males besides Naruto at some point or another.

I understand that Naruko and Anko have had a personal relationship with Naruto even before the boy graduated his virginity, whereas Hinata never made any sort of bonding with any male characters, but regardless, it just feels incredibly petty and unfair to say that Naruto can fuck whatever girl he wants, but Hinata doesn't have the same liberty with the boys. I don't know how else to say it, but as much as you don't like that idea, it's gonna happen eventually! Everyone seems to understand that, while Naruto fucked Naruko, he wasn't cheating on Hinata, and he reserves his love for her, but when even the idea of Hinata being around another male comes up, why is that suddenly sick, and wrong, and completely cheating on Naruto?!

Something I've briefly tried to touch on with SE:AMS, and plan to further indulge upon in the SEquel, is expose some of the idiotic double standards society has, particularly when it comes to sexuality. Among the double standards I want to touch on included: female breasts being branded as sexual organs when they're not, and how sex between two girls is awesome but sex between two boys is sick and wrong, but one of particular note that's bugged me the most is how guys who bang a lot of girls are 'players', 'studs' or otherwise 'awesome,' while girls who bang a lot of guys are 'sluts', 'whores', or 'gross individuals.' Or hell, guys who're perverts are... well, just perverts, while girls who are perverts are 'whores.'

Okay, to put things in perspective, here's a brief anecdote about something that happened with me and my dad: I was about... 15 or so, and I said something about some flirty chick in some movie/tv show being a bit of a whore, to which my dad responded 'why?'. I replied (feebly) that it was because of her perverted attitude.
Dad: So, she's a whore because she likes sex?
Me: Uh... yeah?
Dad: Do you like sex?
Me: Uh... yeah.
Dad: So you're a whore too! :P


Anyway, so while I understand some of the readers' reasoning why Hinata doing it with boys besides Naruto is undesirable, I hope that they also understand my reasoning, being that it's unfair to say Naruto can do any girl he wants, but Hinata's forbidden from having the same liberty with boys... actually, that brings up something else I hadn't quite thought of; why is Hinata bedding with boys a bad thing, but bedding with other girls is a-okay? Seriously, Hinata's had a few lesbian experiences in SE:AMS, with Yuko, Onnasuki, and Anko (and I think Naruko at one point or another), and nobody had a problem with it at all! In fact, I've known a few people who rather enjoyed the idea. But when even just the thought of her being with a boy (other than Naruto of course) crops up, it's such a forbidden and immoral thing.... Wut???? I can get if it was just Anko she'd brushed with, since they have a personal relationship, but she got a free pass with Yuko and Onna too. So... even just thinking about her being with any given male character is so bad... why, exactly? It just strikes me as a double standard that I could do without.
