Well this is gonna be interesting.
Aight, so, B'ren was part of a break away tribe from the main "Boar" tribe when he was a wee lad. The only reason he went with them was, because like any young teenager, he followed his raging boner for the 'wanna-be Nunh' that was going to leave it with his father. Fast-forward ten years later and he and this Nunh are alone, drunk, talking, and B'ren confesses his love aaaaaaand gets near beaten to death by the Nunh and his friends. The next few years was B'ren under an impression that any thoughts towards other males was just...revolting, made him damn near afraid to admit he was, well, turned on by some amazingly handsome man or stunningly beautiful woman. Now-a-days though, he's in a somewhat relationship THING with a Roegadyn named Grave Shadow and the guys total lax nature about sex really soothes and relaxes B'ren enough to start enjoying himself again. Essentially, with sex and nearly anything else, B'ren is a man that never got to live his teenage years and early adulthood the same way most folks did. The mental scaring from how badly the Nunh's reaction was to his confession blocked him out of growing up pretty normally for a very long time.
As for Jak Rohoya, my filthy street rat of a Highlander? Sex was almost currency growing up. Be it to pay off some Brass Blade or Immortal Flames guard from turning him in or some fellow street rat that had something that he wanted, Jak grew up on the streets using his body to keep himself alive. Some days it really got to him, dragging himself from the Inn room with a small sack of gil and crying himself to sleep in the allyway behind it to being utterly gleeful to have a warm bed to sleep in after the deed was done, it was a hit and miss for the guy. Being an actual adult now, though, it doesn't weigh as heavily on his mind (aka the damage has already been done so to speak). Since he started living with Burning Blood it's become...a way to manipulate him, so to speak. Blood's caught on to the youths likes and just recently started using it, though not with himself, to 'reward' Jak for doing as he asks for taking steps in the right direction.
