Circes Spell

This is more of me trying to work through how Sherlock's attitudes to sex look To Me.

I am aware that many of you don't buy canon Sherlock's sexual celibacy. I tend to work with it a lot, and I really like trying to develop a character who makes sense of both ACD Sherlock and modern BBC Sherlock. This is more modern Sherlock--ACD's Sherlock is less alarmed by sex, but more misogynistic about women than BBC's Sherlock.

In the end this is probably most about how sex has somehow become something that cuts Sherlock off from other people, rather than binding him to them.

I continue to feel there is something between the brothers that reads as a rejection of Mycroft's sexuality by Sherlock. Given their ages I still think it seems possible that Sherlock learned a bit too much a bit too graphically, at an age when boys are still quite squeamish, and during an era where Teh Gay was far more wrapped in fear.
