[QUOTE="Queen_Dopplepopolis, post: 2779533, member: 14323"] Well... I've officially read this entire thread and have found it very, very interesting. Sex and romance have had a place in the D&D game that my old group played for a looong time, however; the PCs that were doing the sex romance were not terribly mature and the game sort of turned into a soap opera... Sexuality has never come up. It is assumed that all of the characters were straight because all of the players are straight. Though, I am an open-minded type of girl with several close gay friends and am very comfortable with their sexuality and my own. I cannot say the same for other members of the group I currently play it... most of the guys are pretty homophobic midwestern types and so, it would be very difficult to play a gay or bi-sexual character at my table. Which creates and interesting situation... my current character is very, very young and - having lived a very sheltered life where she was abused by men and found small comfort in the friendship of the other girls that experienced the same torture and slavery - has no concept of romance or sexuality. At somewhere around the age of 14, she has become a member of an adventuring team and - for the first time in her life - is able to make her own decisions. So now, she's developing her decision making skills at 14. I have given much thought to young, sheltered Wu's sexuality and have yet to make any decisions... and, even if I felt that she was a bi-sexual, it would probably not be an appropriate thing to bring to the table. It would either make people uncomfortable or be an endless source of "OMGLOL Lesbians are so hot!" mockery. *shrug* Good thread. [/QUOTE]
