Oh how hard she tries to convince herself that she has no interest in all things sex. I doubt it's come up, but I am beginning to wonder if she is a virgin, or at the very least not all that experienced with sex.

That seems pretty much a given.

Yes, yes, she's... She's a v--.Waker wrote:I doubt it's come up, but I am beginning to wonder if she is a virgin, or at the very least not all that experienced with sex.
Expand to whichever v-word you think most appropriate. Anyway, Ruby's level of sexual inexperience has been pretty much the only thing shown about her character, in every panel she appears in since she first showed up. Which is kind of a shame, because she has a little promise as, say, a deadpan snarker - but this comic doesn't do much snark, so she's defined almost entirely by her repression.
But anyway - the poor kid's in denial, but that's usually a first stage. She does at least have that determination to find out what she's dealing with, even if she doesn't like what she finds. Given how basically useless the people around her are, it's good that she's determined to solve her own problems.

Indeed it is. Even with their best intentions, Ruby's roommates are too flaky to be of much use...

Re: 10-01-2014 Poor misguided Angel
We've been getting so much denial from Ruby, which is fairly clearly on the verge of collapse (I credit her with too much honesty to keep this up forever), that I'm now wondering if she's going to run through a Five Stages plot.

Methinks that seeing Ruby exchange yaoi books with Zii is a matter of time... Yes, yes Ruby... Give in to the yaoi side...

And then let Zii seduce you and you can find out all about sex from her.

Re: 10-01-2014 Poor misguided Angel
While I think she doth protest too much about what is and isn't perverted she might too easily associate fujosi and yaoi with porn which she takes a dim view of and given her previous experience is understandable. Such things run a spectrum and while some are tame others get into some scary and weird territory. Consider what early exposure to hentai with tentacle monsters did to Yuki and Ruby's reaction is again understandable.
