interesting just binge-read _Use of Weapons_, got me thinking a bit starting to suspect ive been slipping in and out of mostly low-grade dissociative states for the past seven years, long after excising the original stimulus

interesting she seems to have a pretty strong moral compass in spite of it, particularly w.r.t. sexual honesty and she's v. much not bloodthirsty, cf yelling at Skaffen-Amtiskaw after it slaughters a bunch of murder-slavers
-
Her sexual honesty is not a personal virtue, rather she is simply a member of The Culture and those are their norms.
-
HM not necessarily? she has to yell at the robot to make sure her body double doesn't fuck anyone which seems like a flavor of honesty that wouldn't obviously be enforced absent her insistence
-
she didn't want her fuck buddies to get ahead of where she was at in their play group, also it was a diplomatic mission and fucking in the wrong context might have caused some trouble. not that Sma is one to avoid causing trouble, but she's more strategic about it.
-
anyway, this is just how Culture citizens are w.r.t sex. to them it's just a form of entertainment. have you read much of the other books in the series? there are lots of similar episodes of culture sluttiness.
