Okay, not gonna lie, I have a lot of thoughts on this.
- I'd like to think that after the end of the world, the biggest sociocultural baggage surrounding sexual activity is responsible procreation. It's okay to be sexually active and with whoever makes you happy, however makes you happy, as long as you're conscientious about the possibility of offspring in uncertain survival conditions -- and the genetics of immunity.
- Partners of any gender are fair game, with varying levels of interest across the board.
- So maybe it's pretty easy to access birth control. If you're in the army, it's all part of routine health care. Tuuri and Sigrun both have some kind of long-term thing (implant? hormonal? magic?), and maybe the world's worked out a male version? God, maybe everyone's on birth control unless otherwise noted. (Except maybe Reynir, who's been in the boonies with medical access lite and minimal choice of partners.) Poor Lalli, scratching at an arm implant 'cuz it weirds him out. Safety mittens for Lalli, too.
