[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 703604, member: 8439"] A group I played with had a bit of romance and sex in the background - a couple of the characters had lovers or spouses and one fighter in particular met every female pc or npc with a 'compliment' eric's grandmother wouldn't aprove of. So when I introduced an amazon, her sexuality was gonna be an issue. Being a hardcore traditionalist, she was of course a lesbian. (she didn't hate men, the background I had for her tribe was symbiotic with a more 'mainstream' village.) The fun RP part was that I decided that amoung the amazons, heterosexuality was thought of the way centrist republicans sometimes think of homosexuality. "What, do you think I'm one of... THOSE type of amazons? I mean, those that, ehem, prefer the company of men? Don't get me wrong, I still think they can be amazons, and it doesn't bother me if they keep it private and it doesn't effect the tribe, but... well, my family doesn't run that way." pretty fun, esp since I was the only female player, but several of the guys played female characters... In terms of the original question... as long as your campaign world isn't dominated by a particular god, it seems to me highly unlikely that sexual taboos (or those of any sort) would be imposed outside of one's religion. That is to say, if someone asks "how does my religion veiw this" I would give some suggestions based on allignment and description but make sure to add "you can extrapolate that according to your conception of your characters religion, but any taboos are going to apply to you personally as a cleric, not what everyone in the world has to do. If your religion was that way about personal conduct, it would have killed itself against all the other religions by now. You may find it distasteful, but you have no mandate to stamp it out." This is just my opinions obviously, but a culture with several religions which are in fact ALL TRUE is going to have few hard and fast enforced taboos on consensual behavior. Most religious taboos would fall more into the catagory of jews keeping kosher than conservative whatevers trying to stamp out a practice they don't like. Kahuna Burger [/QUOTE]
