Depends on the character, probably most of the ones I have played end up getting a lot of my own personality, though generally a more playful version. But there are times when I try to get into a different mindset and play a dour dwarf or something that is not me.

The only time I have played a male characters was in an online game, and that was just taking over a higher level character in order to help the guild I was in. And I didn't care for it at all.

YOU ARE CORRECT, SIR!
Well, 90% correct. Not all the Leydig cells (testosterone producers) live that long, so there's a slow decline after a while.
Significantly after 18, though.

Am I the only one who sees my women NPC's as fundamentally no different from my male NPC's?
Perhaps more importantly, am I the only one who runs women NPC's with no concept of how they view sex...or, at least, any more concept of that than I have in male NPC's.
I mean, come on, I really don't care to think about what the barkeep does on her off time, nor do I largely ponder the fleshy delights of leather and/or lace, unless the PC's are doing some slum-scouring and hanging with the ladies of the night.
And, besides, this is fantasy. Any veneer of historical accuracy aside, am I the only guy who has hostelries where the guy partners are at least as common as the female ones?
I don't really think I am, but it comes accross that everybody is playing fairly blatant stereotypes. To me, an NPC woman is just as much a collection of stats and skills for dealing with the world as an NPC dude.
And don't get me started on the various humanoids, and how the gender stereotypes can be stretched to basically man = dwarf, woman = elf.
But, then, I tend to amaturely overanalyze things.
Now, about those pills...

Well... it depends. I don't normally think about what kind of sex life my female NPC's have... but gender does play a role in behavior, a subtle one though. My main issue is with "on the fly" NPCs... when I have to create one in a hurry. I tend to use combinations of character's I've read about in books, those in movies and TV. I might make a female barkeep and think to myself "ok... imagine the part Carla from Cheers and part Ladyhawke." Yes... it's a cheap way to come up with a quick NPC personality... but when I'm in a hurry, it'll do, hehe.
Anyway, my earlier point dealt with the issue that's it's a bit harder for me to do that with modern day female NPC... honestly, I'm not sure why. Might be as simple as that I'm subconsciously trying to come up with a less "Cartoony" NPC or something else... I'm not sure.

The whole thread's been an interesting thread and I thought I'd share my thoughts in here, just for fun.
First, I've only been playing since 3E and only with a single group, which only includes me, my cousin, his sister and their neighbour. That makes 1/3 of the people I've gamed with female
.
That aside, I probably wouldn't flirt with her even if she wasn't my cousin as I'm too shy.
Just nearing 18, I haven't really had the trouble of my eyes 'drifting' (again, that would be embarrassing) when talking with a girl. I've actually been complimented by a girl that she like talking with me.
