In all honest, in complete as-objective-as-I-can-be, I don't think there's really any sex (or even romantic feelings) going on with the Straw Hat crew, half because it's just not that sort of series and half because I can't imagine that they would do anything that would hurt the others or cause friction in those relationships. I mean, on one hand, I sort of feel like dismissing the whole question of sex takes away from 'realism' in a series, because three-dimensional, fully-realized people do have sex drives and sex does happen. On the other hand, it's One Piece, romance is so far from the point of the series that you'd need a Log Pose just to find--*is shot*
So, if it's going to fit into the series... as much as I love to OTP some of the pairings in the crew, if I'm going to actually believe it's possible, it has to be like this fic, which is why I was so impressed with it. Like, I love the Zoro/Sanji pairing, but I can't imagine that their love of Luffy would ever be diminished (which I loved being mentioned in this story, because Luffy is the heart of their crew) or that they would care any less for the others, that it would somehow be seperate from the whole nakama vibe on the ship. Not necessarily that they might be open about it, but that it would still fit into the grander nakama relationships they have.
Which is why I can see Zoro and Nami both in several pairings, because they have the right mindset. I think Robin falls into the catagory as well. (Hence, I could see it how Robin/Nami or Zoro/Robin could work in a similar vein, possibly.)
