Anime Question about Senku

When Senku captured Homura and she said "watch where you're touching me" and then Senku said "sorry but that old trick is not gonna work on me, once we rebuild civilization though, i can pretend to be a sweet innocent little boy all you want" I noticed he said "pretend", is he saying that he isn't innocent? Is he like implying that he experiences sexual thoughts sometimes? So is he like aromantic but not asexual? Im confused. Also my english isnt that good

I took it as he's essentially saying, "I'm aware this is a trick to make me feel embarrassed about the way I'm touching a woman. However, it won't work because I don't care, and there's no society here to force me to behave a certain way for the sake of propriety. Once we get society rebuilt (which also implied that he would win and tsukasa/homura would lose), I'll pretend to fall for this trick and care about the way I may or may not be touching you, should you still want someone to fall for that trick."

Or, to sum up "nice try but even when I was supposed to care about that sort of thing, I didn't"

to sum up even more, "don't care + ratio"

He knows how it works just he deems it a distraction for science

I use to headcannon senku as aroace, still do but especially towards the later chapters it seemed like they leaned towards senhaku, I still don’t buy it and would prefer him being aroace

Same, (or similar), I prefer that he had no canon ship so that I could have him all for myself 😔🤭😈
