* {{Asexual}}: He also seems to have active Oedipal hang-ups, however.
** To say he's asexual is at best debatable. He says that putting on his mask lets him be free of "fear or weakness or lust"; this along with his general fixation with sex would make it seem more likely that he does have sexual desires, but is so disgusted with sexuality that he thinks himself above it and represses it as best he can. Anyway, the asexuality theory is probably completely discounted by the creepy wet-dream/nightmare he had about his mom when he was a kid.

* Main/CelibateHero: He's messed up beyond all recognition about anything to do with sex, due to child abuse.
** Interestingly, Rorschach does hint in his diary that he might not be completely devoid of normal sexual desires: he hints that he's holding out for "American love" (as opposed to "Swedish love" and "French love") but "they don't make it anymore." Maybe his standards are just too impossibly high for anyone to meet.
*** He does seem to have something of a Madonna-Whore Complex, and, given that he's, well, ''him'', tying it to nationalism doesn't seem a massive leap.
** Saying he "was offered Swedish love and French love but not American love" doesn't really imply he was looking for the latter; it was presumably an observation of the hookers' nationalities.
*** This may just be my dirty mind, but "Swedish love" and "French love" seemed to suggest techniques or "styles", rather than particular nationalities; few French or Swedish women head to New York to become prostitutes, after all, they can do it at home for the same money. It seems to imply that these forms of "foreign" love are decadent and impure--the "Whore" side of the complex--in contrast to the implicitly all-American Madonna.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer : Some bullies show this to Rorshach and he goes berserk on them.
*{{Asexual}}: He also seems to have active Oedipal hang-ups, however.
** To say he's asexual is at best debatable. He says that putting on his mask lets him be free of "fear or weakness or lust"; this along with his general fixation with sex would make it seem more likely that he does have sexual desires, but is so disgusted with sexuality that he thinks himself above it and represses it as best he can. Anyway, the asexuality theory is probably completely discounted by the creepy wet-dream/nightmare he had about his mom when he was a kid.
--> "I had feelings when I woke up. Dirty feelings, thoughts and stuff. The dream, it sort of upset me, physically. I couldn't help it. I feel bad just talking about it."
*AspergerSyndrome: Rorschach shows a number of symptoms of this condition in some of his dealings with others:
** He's not completely devoid of compassion or empathy, but he has a tendency to miss a lot of social cues.
*** People with Aspberger's Syndrome are [[UnfortunateImplications not devoid of compassion or empathy either]].
** His awkward behavior around people is often offensive to them and nearly always makes them uneasy.
** He also speaks much the same way he writes--in clipped sentences--with an annoying nasal accent, although this may be due to his prolonged social isolation more than his mental condition.
*** In the 1960s flashback in issue 2 he still speaks in normal sentences and with a normal voice.
*** It's also likely he is purposefully or subconsciously modifying his voice as he speaks differently out of costume.
**** Although that changes after his arrest - probably he becomes completely Rorschach, mask or no, at that point.

--> Rorshach: "Hrm. Never disposed of sewage with toilet before. Obvious, really."

** Interestingly, Rorschach does hint in his diary that he might not be completely devoid of normal sexual desires: he hints that he's holding out for "American love" (as opposed to "Swedish love" and "French love") but "they don't make it anymore." Maybe his standards are just too impossibly high for anyone to meet.
*** He does seem to have something of a Madonna-Whore Complex, and, given that he's, well, ''him'', tying it to nationalism doesn't seem a massive leap.
** Saying he "was offered Swedish love and French love but not American love" doesn't really imply he was looking for the latter; it was presumably an observation of the hookers' nationalities.
*** This may just be my dirty mind, but "Swedish love" and "French love" seemed to suggest techniques or "styles", rather than particular nationalities; few French or Swedish women head to New York to become prostitutes, after all, they can do it at home for the same money. It seems to imply that these forms of "foreign" love are decadent and impure- the "Whore" side of the complex- in contrast to the implicit all-American Maddonna.
