“Will I see you again?” he asked, gaze intent, hands moving, flexing, as if they could not find a way to rest.

OH MY GOD YA'll.
I just read something in a Star Wars High Republic YA novel called Path of Deceit about another species that confirms what I wanted to do for Duros 💯 happens in the canon universe, and there is no reason why Duros couldn't share some of these same characteristics. In fact, I already had posted it long before I read this little excerpt!!
What I had said in relation to the idea of Bane's "virginity" and sexuality was this:
In relation to the real loss of his “virginity,” let’s just say that it’s a “power move” made on a young Duros who is just trying to find his way in an all too harsh galaxy, one that surpasses sexual dimorphism and leans into an area of “sequential hermaphroditism” (a scientific term) in regard to the “animal” kingdom, or in relation to a headcanon I have where Duros are a species that begin as protogynous, or female.
Some Duros never move beyond that, but some “choose” to be males, whereas Bane here could not decide, and ultimately develops and maintains both sexual characteristics. He experiences harassment and ridicule, among other things, for being “different,” but there are also those who would take advantage of him, and this is one such case.
---
So, basically, in the book the parents of this species says that it is the will of the Force combined with the will of the child itself which "gender" they decided to be, though they do not think of themselves as boys or girls. Again, I think my idea would work where Bane cannot decide, maybe wasn't taught about his own species due to his life circumstances, or maybe doesn't even know that he had a choice to begin with. Possibly it felt right to be "both" to Bane, thus he is intersexed.
I AM SO ECSTATIC RIGHT NOW.

It’s embarrassing how shocked I was by Marda’s choices at the end of Path of Deceit despite the fact that I knew full well that she’s an Evereni named RO and that her little cult built the fucking GAZE ELECTRIC. I don’t know what I thought was going to happen…
