Should sheldon and amy have Sex

[Maddie]

I think they will eventually, but not long before the series ends, because after that, what is there to anticipate? For some reason I can see them getting married before having sex. Because for Sheldon, nothing has to change if they marry. They would perhaps have to live together, but I don't think that wouldn't be such a big deal.

 

If they do have sex, I just hope it will be written well. The writers have done such a great job with them so far. Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to their progression!

[howie]

no, I like their innocent love, no sex for sheldon please

[Panki]

I'd like Amy and Sheldon to have sex...just not with eacother...

I'm so with you on that!

[galiminix]

I said "yes" bet I really want to say "it depends".

I think they will have a real kiss (with this I want to say "a kiss with the two both agree with that") but i think They need time, the kiss shouldn't be before the season 8, and I think it's not necessary more than that. 

But, with time (much time), sex could be accepted.

 

Maybe if they decide have a children, at last. But when the series will getting closer to the end.

I have always thought "no" but I am slowly accepting that the show is going to make it happen. 

 

I just hope it happens slowly and with respect for what we have seen of Sheldon over the last 6 seasons. 

 

By the way, the poll as of this writing shows a 51/49 split in the voting, with 51 saying yes. It seems we are very evenly split on this!

a big NO xDDDDDDDDDD

 

I just can't imagine Sheldon being intimate and having sex AT ALL. The show would lose its merits if he does and to be honest, I wish he would just be gay xDDDDD, that'd explain why he isn't sexually active and all that.

 

Oh wait maybe they should have sex and then Sheldon would realize he's gay.

 

That could work

Absolutely not. His former self would just look like a hypocrite and, no matter what people say, engaging in coitus isn't a sign of 'growing up' at all. Rather than celebrating the unique character of Sheldon, it'd be giving everyone the impression 'oh, he's finally conformed to our ways'. Who says it's the right way?

@Supreme1 - that wouldn't at all explain why he's not sexually active. Homosexuals are also sexually active, you know. However, asexuality would explain it, though I don't think we can claim that he's aromantic anymore.

[silverangel]

I vote yes.... and they should... but no matter how we will say... they should or not,  it does not depend on us and we have no influence on it, no matter what opinion we have,  the writers have their own vision, and they will decide...

How does changing your mind about something make you an hypocrite? An hypocrite is someone who does something while claiming that they believe the opposite, not someone who changes their minds. Or we'd all be hypocrites. Not to mention, Sheldon has plenty of extreme beliefs that are constantly pointed out on the show as being rather absurd. Yet the only one people are all up in arms about is sex. So he can change his mind about romance, but not about sex? If he were taught to drive for good, would people say that he is "conforming to our ways"? Because, if you think about it, his reasons for refusing to drive are pretty much the same as the reasons he belittles sex: he is "too evolved" for that. The only additional difference with sex being that he is phobic of germs and touching. While asexuality might be a reason why he isn't active (and even then, asexuality means something very different from what people usually assume it does), his rejection of sex could also very well be a defense mechanism because he doesn't want to admit he has serious issues with germs and touching. Since sex wasn't a big deal to him, it was easier to go without than to face his issues. But now that it is starting to become 'a deal' for him, he is starting to face those issues. And that's pretty much canon, given what he told Penny this year. 

 

Sheldon has also always been shown to be clearly sexually jealous/territorial of Amy, since the very beginning. Why would he be so territorial about whether or not she has sex with other men, if he didn't feel he had exclusive dibs on it? If anything, he is more of an hypocrite for not admitting he isn't as "evolved" as he claims he is. He often is very hypocritical as a character in general, because he says A but he actually thinks B. I don't know why people think Sheldon is less hypocritical about his views on sex than he is on driving, or friendship, or emotions. The whole "friend who is a girl but not a girlfriend" thing, which was also always followed immediately by him talking about their relationship as if they were a couple, was a classic example of hypocritical Sheldon. 

 

I think, like everything, it all depends on how they write it. If they have Sheldon give in because Amy wants it and he just wants to keep her happy, then I'd rather they never did it. That would be a pretty awful message to send, he should not be pressured into doing something he isn't ready for or doesn't want to do. And it would ruin Amy as a character too.

 

But if he starts wanting it for himself and grows out of his phobias, I don't see why that is such a bad development. I dare you to find any movie or tv show featuring a male virgin over 20, let alone 30, that doesn't make a mockery out of him. If anything, you have to give it to TBBT for making Sheldon confident and comfortable with himself and making the idea of a guy waiting until he's ready/has found the right person, or that sex isn't everything in life, an accepted notion. That's an excellent message, if you ask me. Rather than: either you have sex at 16 or there's something wrong with you or you must be asexual and you must not have sex for the rest of your life. 

 

Sheldon and Amy having sex, or not having sex, will always be about way more than the act itself. And to say they should do it at all costs, regardless of how it happens, or that they shouldn't do it at all, cheapens the relationship greatly, imo.

Exactly, it's good that they've made him confident and comfortable with himself, but that doesn't mean they have to stop doing that. It's not that he 'must' be asexual, but the message that The Big Bang Theory gives isn't just about Sheldon, remember - we now have a married couple and two people who love each other. Also, I was 'up in arms' at his change in attitude to romance. Why does one have to drive either? It's not necessarily good at all - it's bad for the environment. They should have given him this as justification for not wanting to drive.

 

So, what is asexuality then?
