[QUOTE="Set, post: 4526766, member: 41584"] While I've got zero problem playing characters of either gender (and various races, species and inorganic states), I avoid sexual situations in all of them. I don't care if it has bumpy stuff on it's chest or down it's trousers, that's not a part of the character that I'm gonna be graphically detailing. There's role-playing around the gaming table, and there's role-playing in the bedroom, and I don't feel comfortable blurring the line between the two. If someone else wants to talk about their characters adult fun, as long as it doesn't turn into a long-winded penthouse letter, I'm fine with that, but my own characters sexual (mis)adventures will be handled with a sentence like, 'X goes out and gets some.' (Commentary that might crop up quite a bit, if the character has been described as promiscuous!) My number one warning sign that I need to leave is when someone is playing a female character (a player of either gender) and the DM conspires to get the character raped and / or pregnant. That sort of thing hits all of my buttons at once, with a sledgehammer, and I'm out the door. Anywho, I've got enough male and female friends in real-life who don't do a very good job of portraying a stereotypical male or female, so I'm perhaps poorly suited to judging whether or not some dude pretending to be a girl is acting 'girly-enough.' When you know girl cops and boy nurses, the rules of what a girl is 'supposed to act like' tend to go out the window. [/QUOTE]
