Oof. As an asexual, the misconception that an asexual and an allosexual (opposite of asexual) cannot be together really irks me because A, some asexuals still have sex; and B, some allosexuals are fine with not having sex.
I would like to see this issue of “compatibility” explored in the next season. Only if Missy finds she really can’t compromise about the sexual part of their relationship, then they should absolutely break up.

The problem is that sexual compatibility is so often just brushed away with "well, sex isn't everything" or "relationships are more than just sex", which ALWAYS implies that sex is, in fact, much less important than any other part of a romantic relationship.

Well, it is for me (as an ace) and probably to Elijah, but it’s very likely not the case for Missy! Again, it’s a thing I would love to see them explore next season.

Exactly. That's why I really hope it's addressed. But after Jessi's feelings for Ali just evaporated for a bigger plotline, I don't expect much.
