Exactly. Two men who canonically demonstrate no sexual hangups? Check. Who have, canonically, had sex before? Check. Who, canonically, love each other? Check. Who, canonically, come from a vampire line based on sex? Check. Who, canonically, have been sleeping together for, well, however long Asher has been here, I think we can safely say months, at least? Check. Who, in all those months, have never had sex with each other? ... Does not compute.
Imagine that first night.
Asher: [reaches out] Alone at last!
Jean-Claude: [shies back] Non, non! I don't have Anita's permission!
Asher: Wha..? We never needed Julianna's permission!
Jean-Claude: Anita's American. She has hangups. And I'm bound to her, so I can't get rid of her, and I need to keep her happy. We must sleep chastely! Like brothers.
Asher: [is unamused]
And then along comes Augustine and, well, if I were Asher, I'd be Seriously Displeased right about now.
And, also, yes, that whole business about needing a woman as a bridge made my eyes roll. I rationalized it at the time as Anita being an unreliable narrator.
