[QUOTE="Barastrondo, post: 5287305, member: 3820"] Granted, there is a significant difference between online and tabletop RP. From what I've seen online, I'd only add that sometimes the more heavily interested in romance and/or cybersex player [I]are[/I] female -- I'm not going to say "often," but certainly sometimes. There's a certain safety in cybersex that makes it more appealing: anonymity and no risk of pregnancy or disease are some strong allures, particularly if it's cloaked in romantic trappings like roleplay. It's not for me, but I understand the appeal to more than teenage boys. I'm not fond of graphic sexual content when I play, though I wouldn't go so far as to say it doesn't belong in RPGs -- certainly Ed Greenwood seems to have liked pushing the boundaries of what you could depict in his home game, and he kept his players happy and managed to contribute a lot to D&D in the process. So it really depends on the table. [/QUOTE]
