Either women in Ivalice were damned with poor eyesight, or they are just plain crazy. I find it absurd that men like Basch, Noah and Vossler didn't get a proper woman (whether out of duty, love, or breeding), with their looks, they could get a harem if they want to.
And yes, this was from an earlier discussion with mariagoner where I told her that I deem Basch to be asexual and an easy target for both sexes. She disagree and held a similar view as you. Actually, it is my mistake, I agree with you that Basch does have a definitely sex drive, but he's no playboy or sex maniac, and has good self-control (ugh, with Ashe pink mini, who wouldn't?).
My view is that he wouldn't pursue woman out of lust because he respects them, also, he's not one for loose relationship. If he pursue a girl, it would be one that he's committed to, one that he trust, love and cherish. Of course, he'll probably be the most faithful bloke to have ever lived as well XD
In this fic, the only reason Basch actually did take a whore is because the prostitute reminds him of Ashe, otherwise, he wouldn't have submit to his lust. This idea came to me after the discussion and just wouldn't leave me alone, so I sat down one night and penned the fic, just to get rid of the idea. I have more in mind for this, but it's quite low on my to-do-list at the moment.
