[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 7825400, member: 2209"] I think you are conflating separate things here. Initiating romantic roleplay to act "out romantic or sexual impulses that are originating from you the person." is not the only reason to have romantic roleplay in an RPG. It can be for a neat story development and not to act out romantic impulses towards another player. Playing a classic knight you might want a lady to champion. I had a backstory in a vampire game that my character was blood bound to his ex-wife, a campaign villain, and they had an on-again off-again relationship. I have considered in character marrying another PC to cement a political alliance in a D&D not-Roman empire. I had no romantic or sexual interest in the player but I was not averse to the PCs being involved. There are issues of emotional spillover that can occur and there are people who will use it as an excuse to act out there own romantic desires for another player, but romantic roleplay is a broad topic that can vary a lot by specifics and intentions.
