Doendraga is a virile, charming buccaneer who "port hops" as often as he bar hops: he loves strong drink and he loves less-than-modest company. The man leads a life that prevents him from settling down in one place for long, so why think he can settle down with one person?
To hear him describe his views on sex would be to subject you to crude, yet strangely illuminating, "pirate's wit" that would last maybe a few sentences at best. But if you want to dig into his character development from a psychoanalytical third-person...*stretches the typing fingers*...
Doendraga is highly objective beneath his seemingly care-free exterior, and his views on sexuality and the actual act of sex reflect this perspective just as it paints his personality (he is so objective and detached from things that he is borderline-nihilistic, but that same nihilism ironically leads him to be hedonistic rather than...you know...emo lol). As such, ERP - if and when it comes up - is a natural expression of his characterization, though he is really the only character I have who is more suited to a lifestyle of casual flirting and sex. He's a charismatic, rough-around-the-edges swashbuckler with a loose recognition of social norms which is a personality that lends poorly to celibacy, so not exploring his physical attractions and the culminations of his charms would close off a part of his psyche that can inspire a great many other developments both internal and external.
From within the mind of the character, the assignment of symbols and meaning to sex is something that is constructed by society. Sex is natural - almost reflexive- and thus sexual behavior of any kind is acceptable, which makes it practically ubiquitous, and in that ubiquity it is meaningless...at least for someone like Doendraga it most certainly is: he is more likely to have casual sex than truly intimate moments, and beyond that sexual "arrangements" rather than committed relationships. Even something as non-physical as flirting is largely harmless in his eyes, which is also why he is an opportunistic flirt (it doesn't mean anything, and so he can and will do it just for the sheer pleasure of it).
Ultimately, if he feels like giving it up, he will, and if you feel like it, he thinks you should too.Â
Â
Because he doesn't invest specific meaning in sex, he is open-minded in the act itself: he's not shy about making his intentions or desires known, whether that is for or against a physical encounter (he is still, after all, a man of discerning tastes), and regardless of how an encounter ends - and regardless of the details of who was was in what position - it, again, doesn't mean anything. What he wants, he does, and in that aspect he is always the dominant one regardless of whether he chose to play the aggressive or the passive party. His tastes are never static.
Centering his perspective around the meaningless of sex and the fulfillment of carnal desires that are wholly natural, he sees relationships as the complicated element of social interaction, rather than sex. He is far more comfortable in bed with a stranger than he is with a romantic interest who wants to share their feelings. Any romantic gestures from Doendraga are, in fact, for the fun of the moment not the desire to cement something for the future, and anyone struck by how charming he might seem should be wary about looking too deep: he may "love" you, but it's a shallow love at best.
The way he sees it, either of you can be dead tomorrow.
