Sherlock Holmes' sexual adventures (he really is straight)

[Thevirginwriter]

How Sherlock finds out about the pleasure in sexual intercourse. It took some experimentation first, of course! But Sherlock does find his way around women, the submissive ones...

[Shendude]

Blasphemy.

Or we talking sherlock from the british or american tv shows.

I thought about a shelock like characther once who walks into a bar and uses his observation skills to pick up on women. Though maybe a bit more of a cocky playboy then sherlock.

the only real Sherlock Holmes-- Jeremy Brett, can't be any other.

Been planning to write a story on Sherlock. Please vote and let me know who you'd like to see with Sherlock.

It isn't like Sherlock to pick up on women. He can easily turn women on without trying. So I was thinking more along the line of seduction. I've seen the movies and tv shows, read the books. I loved the BBC tv show with Benedict Cumberbatch.

Not might, is. As is stated multiple times throughout the canon, Holmes is completely asexual, and the trend of depicting him otherwise pisses me off no end.

I have, and he's quite right.

It's a great show, and Benedict Cumberbatch is really nice to look at, but it does any number of things that push my buttons as a Holmes fan.

Considering that, canonically, Sherlock Holmes purposefully forgets that the earth revolves around the sun in order to avoid learning more than necessary to his line of work, I can't imagine "learning how the clitoris works" is likely to be high on his list of priorities.

[Thevirginwriter]

You can officially be my haters for this. But I like to think with the right kinda woman, Sherlock can make a good story!

[TexWiller1974]

Irene Adler perhaps? If i remember correctly Sir Arthur Conan Doyle gave "free hands" with Holmes character. I have seen the new BBC show and it is pretty good but not as good as the one with Jeremy Brett.

It's not hating. If you want to have a story where a detective has sexual adventures, why use Sherlock, the literary detective least suitable? Why not use Herlock Sholmes, at least, like Maurice LeBlanc did? It seems a waste to use an extremely famous, recognizable character and then get rid of the character traits. There are stories to be written about Sherlock Holmes, and there are stories to be written about sexual adventures, but it's like writing, "Winnie the Pooh Goes on a Diet and Learns to Control his Hunger." What's the point? It's so against the character that it's just going to end up being someone with the same face and name.

This.

Nope.

He admired her intelligence, especially since, as a thoroughgoing misogynist, he tends to assume that the female intellect is inferior to the male. He also took a distinct dislike to the King of Bohemia, so the way in which she tormented that so-called worthy pleased him. And unlike most of his other notably formidable adversaries, she isn't a terrible person, so he is free to consider her a worthy opponent.

But, that's as far as it goes. As noted in the third sentence of "A Scandal In Bohemia":

It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler.

Naw, he was gay.

[Thevirginwriter]

It might seem silly to you and you can oppose me all you want. I have taken this decision. And I apologize to anyone who should think it's blasphemy. I'm sorry but I'm not going to change my decision.

If you say asexual, I can even go with that. But not gay!

This is 100% true, if you go with the canonical Doyle Holmes.

However, there is nothing wrong with bending the rules in fan-fic. I'd read it.

PS - Jeremy Brett rules!

I have often thought of writing a story on Holmes and Watson. I'm a huge fan of the radio and film version of the 40's and 50's, some starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce as well as the great radio versions of Holmes performed by Tom Conway. They set a standard that is very difficult to meet.

As Watson, Nigel Bruce set a standard that hs never, even remotely, been matched.

In my stories, Holmes is Gay. A very tenitive gay man. Watson, of course is totally hetero, and I've envisioned him taking a poke or two with Mrs. Hudson.
Moriarty, would likely be written in as a bisexual, and of course he and Holmes definitely would "meat up".

Correction, Alfred Shirley, performed Watson nearly as well as Nigel Bruce himself. Both played the part of Watson, with Tom Conway as Holmes. (BBC radio)
