I kind of like the idea that Time Lords are screwed up because they consider themselves above/beyond nature to the degree they'll go to ridiculously complex lengths just to avoid fucking, and the dr / missy are the outcast weirdo freaks because they're all sensory-hungry in ways Time Lords aren't supposed to be
i like that as a sort of cultural context for their relationship, like Missy goes on about how Time Lords are Above It All but as soon as the Dr is in the room she can't *not* touch him, and neither of them have figured out they're completely in love with each other bc a class of weird repressed quasi clone people probably doesn't even have a vocabulary for complex romantic relationships like that
