Is Joffery Baratheon in game of thrones Asexual?

It doesn't seem like he has any interest in sex at all, even when he threatens rape it seems more like he just enjoys the thought of hurting people.
Its like that scene where he orders one prostitute to beat another he doesn't want to have sex nor does he, he just likes seeing people in pain.

  • He was a virgin and more of man child, though I'm not sure if he ever actually had sex with the prostitutes /= though I do know he got sexual pleasure through torturing them.

    So I wouldn't say he was asexual but I mean he was a demented little inbred monster so what can we really expect?

  • I have no idea. The show doesn't make it clear what his real sexual orientation is.

  • After what he saw, I don't blame him if he is! (Don't want to spoil it if you haven't seen it yet)
    I don't think so, some people are just so focused on their goals that they wait a long time before trying to get laid. Also, he's supposed to be a young boy.

  • A lot of sadists aren't that aroused by normal sex acts, though they usually have a preferred sex of victims. Like a lot of serial killers are literally aroused by spurring blood or watching someone's life slip away. Weird ass shit like that.

    • I know that, but if you do research, they get off sexually, there was a soviet serial killer who would masturbate to his victims but Joffery doesn't

    • That we know of... It could be off the pages like when he's alone or something - we don't really see his POV from what I've read so far. I'm actually reading the books now after finishing the tv series to find out more, myself!

  • He's too young (and died too young) to define asexuality, but I get what you mean, I was thinking the same. This way he just seem sadistic, but I guess if he was 18 for example maybe he would be into abusing AND raping women.

    • In teh show he is 18

    • yeah, but in the books he is much much younger. the reason all the actors are older in the show is because it would be illegal to film a rape scene between young actors/actresses. and i guess they couldn't deviate too much from the story, that's why there aren't any sexual encounters filmed with Joffrey

    • In the books, Sansa is something like 12-13 (just "have you flowered", not "do you bleed", like in the series), Danerys is about the same.

    • Show All
  • First of all, Joffrey is messed up in the head, possibly because his parents are siblings. Second, he was around 13, maybe even younger, it's possible he simply isn't old enough to want sex.

    • I'm watching the show, He's 18 then

    • Not in the books :) I think the show might have adjusted his looks but not his behavior

  • Nah, asexual people don't get any media representation :')

  • I don't think so. I just think that he's still really young and he gets his pleasure from sadism in terms of inflicting torture more than he does from the idea of sex.

  • he's a sadomassochist

  • I think he is just young and probably scared but can't show it so he pretends to be a tough sick bastard

  • I don't think so. The show doesn't make it clear, but we can assume that he was heterosexual, he just liked better to see people suffer.

  • He's a sadist. Just not a sexual one. He's like 13 in the books.

    • I've not read the books, the TV series is Grimdark Enough, I've been told that the books are about as Grimdark as Warhammer 40k

    • The books are very dark. Love them.

    • Me too (told you to read them first, Waffles)!

    • Show All
  • I doubt it, he would have said it in every episode.

    • Lawrence of Arabia was Asexual and pretty much never mentioned it

    • Pretty sure he did, that's why he went to the dessert, they kinda kicked him out of the UK.

    • He went to the desert specifically originally egypt as he was an Archaeologist who was digging

    • Show All
  • no, he's asexy.

  • he's not asexual, he's a piece of shit! He's like 12 or 13 in the books... also, he's batshit crazy

  • Not really. As others have pointed out he is a kid. Only that his sadistic/psychopathic side was exposed earlier and probably overcomes any of his sexual drives/desires. Not that it matters, though, the kid is fucking mental.

    • I'm watching the TV series, he's plenty old enough by then

    • All of his victims are women. And he even goes to the extent of (SPOILER following) threatning Sansa of rape after she marries. It gives a hint he would use sex to satisfy his sadistic desires. I definitely wouldn't look at him as asexual.

  • Hmmm. Good observation. Probably.

  • He's just crazy?

  • didn't he rape stansa stark? Oh no wait she is raped by ramsay bolton after little finger gives her to him after she actually was already married off to tyrion lannister.

    • seriously don't be a dick

  • I don't think there's any doubt about it. I'm pretty sure he died a virgin. I miss Joffrey.
