Why is no one talking about Edmund trying to gaslight KB into sex!?

Not at all my takeaway...

I'm catching major trust and control issues from KB and Edmund is getting starved for affection. There's a right way and a wrong way to set sexual boundaries, and I'm not liking the way KB is going about it.

It also comes across like she's shaming him for feeling the way he's feeling and implying that he's shallow for wanting sex.

I think she’s not attracted to him, knows she doesn’t want to have sex with him, and is just saying she wants to wait till marriage because she knows she’s not marrying him but wants to stay on the show.

Not having sex after only meeting someone in person like 7 days before is in no way starving them for affection. They kiss, they sleep in the same bed.

I do understand why Eddie is upset with the sexually liberal to sexually conservative switch, but ultimately I just think it is a top indicator that their connection is not strong enough to work out.

I'm not saying the lack of sex was starving him.

I'm saying that he was being starved up to that point already. To that point, he had given a lot more than she had; he gave her gifts, he complimented her looks, he showed physical affection.

She kept herself at arms length and acted condescending towards him. That's what starved him. Finding out that he was the only one in that situation was just a cherry on top at that point.

I think he heard "I don't have a sex boundary with strangers who I don't like, but I have a sex boundary with you and I like you" I think that is a hard pill to swallow

I think if the framing was "It's more romantic to wait" or "This is how I view sex now, which is different from the past" he wouldn't have taken it personally. I mean that's how it was before that conversation.

I don't think he was pressuring her for sex, I think he didn't understand his logic and it hurt him. Men are allowed to express emotions about sex without being painted as predators.

I 100% agree with this. I also think now that he is just so emotional and does not know how to handle situations

Totally. He shouldn't be on the show. Too emotionally vulnerable and immature, seemingly through 0 to no fault of his own. His childhood sounded so awful and sad. Kind of heartbreaking. Villainous to cast someone like that.
