It's kind of interesting that Makita got told she doesn't have sex appeal even though the oneshot depicts that she absolutely does. Perhaps she was always uncomfortable with taking on the "submissive" role that women are expected to embody in traditional heterosexual relationships, and that caused her to be nervous/hesitant when it came to sexual matters until now?
This story is told with Satomi's voice, as seen from Satomi's eyes. What she sees in Makita is what we get to see of her. It's not necessarily the same that her ex-boyfriends saw.
whether that was because they were men, or because they didn't love or desire her the same way as Satomi is anyone's guess.
