Aliens of London

He resembled any beautiful clubber: spiky hair, leather-clad dancer's grace. He caught Jack's eye. Jack's returning stare held curiosity and invitation.

The boy approached him. "Where you from?"

"Cardiff."

"Liar. You're from the future."

"And the past. You're a Chula, right? Class 3 warrior - maybe class 2. Maladrosian clan?"

Brown eyes narrowed appreciatively. "Close. Tavalan. I have a tattoo to prove it. Wanna see?"

"You here with your swordmates?"

"In an invisible ship. I don't need to go back yet. You're alone?"

Jack had stolen a ship from a Maladrosian once; she was gorgeous. "Until two minutes ago. Let's dance."

What? Jack's not celibate?! I thought he was damn near a priest! ;)

Well, admittedly, given what we see in Torchwood up until "They Keep Killing Suzie", we don't get as much of Jack doing his thing as we should be entitled to. A few kisses, fondling Gwen a little in the gun room - heck, for all we see, he might as well be celibate.

But then we get the stopwatch scene, and 1941!Jack, and the kiss for Ianto when Jack comes back from the dead, and I have a certain rule of thumb: if Jack enjoys sex in the past, and in the future, then it's my duty as a fan writer to make sure he enjoys it in the present too.
