The sexual orientation of the TMNT

[Coprophagous Beauty]

I wonder to whom feel the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sexually attracted? Would they prefer turtles (Red-eared Sliders) because originally they were turtles, too? Or are they so humanized that they prefer humans? They grown up in a civilized environment surrounded by humans that reminds me of sheepdogs who are born in a sheep barn. These dogs think they are sheeps and also fall in love with sheeps *aww cute!*.

BUT the turtles know that they are no humans!

When you leave aside Venus de Milo and Ninjara and imagine there would be only one beautiful mutated Turtle-girl. What do you think which couple is most likely?

For me Leonardo was always like an ascetic monk. He follows the way of Bushido, he is a true warrior and the leader - he has no interest in a physical relationship.... (a real fighting-nerd (I mean that as a compliment )

Michelangelo's more like Don Juan. He might have a short relationship with her ​​but nothing serious. Mike is the only one I could imagine to be gay.

Donatello is probably shy and reserved in such matters. But in a relationship he would be certainly very loving and loyal. Maybe he is like the classical loser - it's a long hard way but at the end he get the girl.

Raphael is a very difficult character. He needs a girl with a very strong character. Her physical appearance doesn't matter. All that matters for him is true love. He is the only one I could imagine a relationship between turtle and human.

But what do you think about a relationship between a turtle and a human - is this zoophilia?

Now I've written a lot - so what do YOU think about all that?

I don't think sheepdogs understand the concept of love or the falling in of it.

That's pretty weird. In the source material Mike is the only Turtle to have had two long-term girlfriends and even became a father.

Raffael is a very difficult character. He needs a girl with a very strong character. Her physical appearance doesn't matter. All that matters for him is true love.

I can think of quite a few things that matter to Raphael more than "true love." In fact, I can't think of a single time I've ever seen Raphael pining over anyone in the source material or otherwise. Any idea of him doing so would just be a fanfiction.

He is the only one I could imagine a relationship between turtle and human.

But what do you think about a relationship between a turtle and a human - is this zoophilia?

Yeah.

Now I've written a lot - so what do YOU think about all that?

I think that while they may have experienced in one way or another enough pop culture to kind of see human ladies and go in some kind of casual way, "Oh, she's hot!" I see nothing in the source material (albeit, Leonardo in the future) to conclude they're attracted to or would pursue any human females.

In the source material Mike is the only Turtle to have had two long-term girlfriends and even became a father.

I didn't know that - where can I read it?

And yes you are right the text about Raphael sounds very superficially. But I mean he has the potential for the most interesting love story (ok maybe I'm not impartial)

Source material = the comics.

Already clear that's why I wrote "read".
Perhaps a bit more precise - which comic issue?

This is how I see it.

Leo is the guy who gets girls that turn out to cheat on him, betray him, or killed by the enemy. Forget Karai. She may be one of those, or all. Hopefully, I believe he'll find someone. Imagine, just after rescuing a beautiful brunette, they fall in love and get married. Too bad they can't have sex. Even though he's not human, I bet he doesn't believe in sex before marriage. He's patient to wait for his future wife.

Don is the guy that gets girls, but has a problem communicating to them. Girls may give up on him, making boys trying to hit on him. That would be a nightmare for him. Then eventually he'll meet this new female employee. After a year of rubbing heads, they'll fall in love and then get married. Again, I don't think he'd support sex before marriage.

Mikey is a ladies man, however, constantly finds new girls to date. Who knows when he'll find the right person, but he may be just riding solo on this one. Maybe a cute blonde chick would work, one that's into comedy and pop culture (even ninjas). He may wish for sex, but he knows he can't do it, nor does he want to try it at all.

Raph may find a girl from another planet. Yes, maybe an alien. I won't say he'll move up with her in space, but that they'll marry and still live in good old NYC. Who knows? I could see Raph wanting to have sex, but he'll realize he won't be able to. If he could, he wouldn't wait 'til marriage, he'd probably do it before the wedding.

What on earth are you talking about?

Sadly Leonardo falling in love with a human (albeit, a mutant human -- Radical) IS supported by the source material.

Though I tend to believe Leonardo was tappin' dat ass, marriage or no marriage.

Don is the guy that gets girls

No he's not.

but has a problem communicating to them. Girls may give up on him, making boys trying to hit on him. That would be a nightmare for him. Then eventually he'll meet this new female employee.

What do you mean? He's had sex before -- he's had children in the source material... we can readily quantify this, folks, it's not up for debate.

Raph may find a girl from another planet. Yes, maybe an alien. I won't say he'll move up with her in space, but that they'll marry and still live in good old NYC. Who knows? I could see Raph wanting to have sex, but he'll realize he won't be able to. If he could, he wouldn't wait 'til marriage, he'd probably do it before the wedding.

I don't think any of the Turtles would be overly concerned with human institutions like marriage. They aren't part of mankind.

How did Mike have children? Was there a female turtle in the mirage comics?

He had sex. With a female member of kind of a splinter race of the Triceratons.

No.

The floozy was obviously already knocked up before she met Mikey. =p

It's possible, though unfortunately we may never know. In-story, however, we're presented with a timeline of events:

Regenta and Michelangelo fall in love => They have sex => She gives birth to a bunch of eggs => She tells him he's the dad.

Was she lying? Maybe, but the way the story is left there's nothing to conclude that she was.

[Logan]

Besides the Leo/Radical romance, there is constant reference to Pimiko being a "ninja babe". Most people don't use the word "babe" unless they're expressing some attraction to said person. I seem to remember one of the turtles thinking that April was hot, too. Can't recollect what issue or turtle, though.

Mikey was involved with two aliens, one in the Image series and then another in Vol. 4.

I dunno. Laying eggs after only one night seems a bit too contrived to me.

[Jester]

I agree, I think she was setting Mikey up.

As for the whole issue...I agree with Peter (who isn't very thrilled with the Leo/Radical issue of Tales.) that the Turtles really don't need sexual relationships...

A good, long passage of time was implied within there.

In any case, the point is: "Has Mikey ever had sex?" Yes, yes he has. If he had not, why would he be the least bit worried about whether or not he was the father?

[BentonGrey]

Wow........yeah, that's just too weird. I'm with Jester, and via him Peter. That doesn't really need to be explored.

[PAAATE]

Saw the thread title, and had to read this. Just wanted all of you to know that this made my utterly boring night a little better

[Weapons@theready]

Isn't there a "comic" the explores this more in depth

[Bauer536]

Okay. I don't think this my thread. Sorry. This is just becoming a tad bit disgusting.
