Certainly, I would boot them in a blink if they did! That would definitely be a "What the EFF!" moment.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" />With such pervasive slavery, yeah, concubinage is a definite reality. My players have often been immediately conscious of that reality for NPC's and such they have encountered that were slaves. Whenever any female NPC's in particular have been rescued or freed from slavery--the women and men alike in my campaigns have been interested especially in their welfare and recovery. And, I might add, that both the women and men have made inquiries of occasionally different angles or motivations--the men have often typically been concerned with the details of the NPC's experiences for purposes of personally exacting swift revenge, or for details in gaining support for prosecution through the law in some kind of noble court. The women have also done this for the same reasons as well--but the women have also often prodded, inspired, or insisted that the NPC share with them all of these various details so they can share, bond, etc together. I guess its a particular aspect or quality of women's compassion and sensitivity. They definitely seek the whole bonding experience with such female NPC's.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />That brings me to your next quote that I highlighted for emphasis--the women I have played with over the years and currently, as well--are primarily responsible for my development of such campaign details, rules, and so on. Previously, or often only when playing with men in the past, I suppose I was like most typical men--other than occasionally joking about sex or referring to sex, sexuality, sexual behaviour, sexual desires, and so on in a generally rough or brief manner. However, with the women--that just simply would not do!<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> They relentlessly questioned me and prodded me about the various details of characters they encountered--they want to know as much as possible about every sexual nuance of their girlfriends; of their sisters and female relatives; of their girlfriends' lovers; and especially so of their own lovers, boyfriends, and so on.And yeah--it's definitely changed the dynamics of my campaigns. For years now, since I am so accustomed to it, I often readily provide such details and nuances to all of the male players in the game as well. Obviously, some of them have been more than content with only the very basics--though several have responded in similar fashion to the women. I'm genuinely sensitive and thoughtful towards all of my players preferences and styles. Overall, though, all of my players--and especially the women--really seem to enjoy a much greater detailed system or approach to sex, sexuality, relationships, and so on. It's expanded my campaigns in lots of different ways of detail, story arcs, plots, and lots of fun.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />In many ways, not merely focusing on particular details of sex itself--but of the relationship details, sexual styles and attitudes, desires, and so on--has created relationships in the campaign of greater depth and verissimillitude, which have then amazed me in all the different plots and motivations that have developed from all of that. The nice thing too, is that such quests, plots and relationships organically develop their own kind of goals, with deeper, much more visceral motivations for the characters involved.So, largely in response to the relentless desires of the women in the campaign, I've had to develop all of this stuff about sex, romance, sexual attitudes, relationships, families, children, and so on!<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Semper Fidelis,SHARK</blockquote>
