Should EE tackle asexuality?

I think it would be really interesting to have a character come to terms with the fact that they are asexual and explore the possible areas they could go down in the afternath of this discovery e.g. depression. Its something fresh, realistic and reflective for the show.
Maybe this storyline could be carried out for Dexter?

Who's Dexter by the way? lol
Yeah its when you basically have no sexual attraction to either gender. You still have emotional feelings, but you cant express yourself sexually because the thought of sexual content doesnt appeal to you in the slightest.
Dexter is Ava's son, he arrives in the new year.
It can be. Some people have been resulted to depression or even suicide as a result of their desperation of wanting to change their asexual ways.
Though being related to Max and Jack may put a damper on things as they cant keep it in their pants
What about Derek he has control.
Or get someone pregnant;)
I'd like to see it but I do agree, asexuality has a danger of not causing much drama
Yeah but some people react to it in very dark ways. Its not to much about the asexuality itself, its more about how the character would deal with this which would create a dramatic impact
As I said, I'd like Liam to have that story, he is a virtually clean slate, his first major story and with James on an adult contract, he'd have more time for this.
Really?? I never knew this!
To be honest, i refuse to believe someone is asexual unless they've had medical tests to rule out every illness associated with lack of libido.
It seems to be a new, hip way of describing yourself when you're not sexually active.
I vividly remember the time when Jim took Viagra- the only ep whose duff duff featured an erection:D
It could be done, but then you'd be asking soap writers not to concentrate on romantic entanglements, and they just don't seem to be able to do that with main characters.
True!
At least asexuality would be an original story
It would be, and I don't doubt the initial story would be brilliant (obviously, if handled by certain writers). They could make it dark, they could make it compelling, they could make you really sympathize with the character... but as soon as it was over they'd be knocked up by Jack or knocking up a Mitchell a few weeks later. Unless the character left at the end of the story arc, of course.
Shame they introduced all these testosterone fuelled boys like Antler and Joey, they could have been onto something.
It would have to be a Branning boy/girl though because they are all at it like rabbits so would have a greater impact.
I just hope they don't bring Ben back as asexual. If ever someone needed to get laid, it's that guy.
Look what happened the last time he did that- though I'm sure he's having the time of his life now:p
Yes, lets bring Sheldon into EE, make it far more interesting.
I can imagine him and Kat:
'I'm a dirty girl'
'You look perfectly hygenic'
