[Gai lifts his clean hand to stroke her cheek in return, grinning crookedly at that playful fake-slap she gives him. He knows she's joking, and it's because of that that he doesn't mind the words one bit, even though they would induce rage in him were they to come from anyone else under any other circumstances.]
There are some old-fashioned people who still disapprove of sex outside of marriage, but for the most part, it's a common and accepted thing now. People finally figured out that it's stupid to wait until you're married to find out whether or not you're sexually compatible with someone else. And what's more, they realized that nothing bad is going to happen if you do sleep with someone you aren't married to. Plenty of people even get married and never have children at all.
Things have changed a lot in more than a century. There's nothing indecent or spoiled about wanting to be intimate with someone you love even if you aren't married to them. There isn't even anything wrong with wanting sex just for fun either. What you do in the bedroom is no one's business but your own and the person you're sleeping with.
You can have as much or as little sex as you want where I come from. There might be some people who criticize, but they aren't worth paying any attention to. You do what feels right for you and what you're comfortable with.
[Now his smile becomes a little more genuine.]
Besides, I thought I already promised to marry you one day.
