I've got a question, DS9 related. I just got back into watching Star Trek and so I don't remember much. I know that Odo isn't aromantic, since this whole Odo/Kira thing (halleluja). But is he or isn't he asexual? The internet was (un-) surprisingly unhelpful on this matter so far. Has there been an episode that indicated anything of that sort?

Oh God, what a question!

Okay, look, here’s the thing. According to the show, Odo has solid-style sex with at least one woman. Assuming he also makes love with Kira, that’s two. It is mentioned that he enjoys it.

However… and this is just my thinking… there are levels of ‘enjoys’.

Because it doesn’t really make sense for him to get off on sex the way a solid does, right? But he would very, very much enjoy the touching and the pleasing of a partner. It ain’t the Link, but he can wrap himself entirely around (and inside) of someone who wants him to do so, and that’s got to be pretty good.

So, I guess your answer to 'is Odo asexual’ is… your mileage may vary?
