Message: <blockquote data-quote="(Psi)SeveredHead" data-source="post: 2875835" data-attributes="member: 1165">In campaigns I've been in, sex is for NPCs. It's used as part of NPC motivations (eg the mayor's lover is being held hostage by villains, or the head villain is ticked that you burned down his favorite whorehouse, etc).PCs occasionally make eyes at a "hot" NPC, make the occasional joke, might visit whores or even be married (the spouses never adventure with them). I once saw a seduction in-game that took maybe two minutes (a very charismatic character seduced a scientist) - hardly a timewaster. As far as I know, every person in my current group is straight, and all of our PCs have been straight. IME, heterosexual relationships are just not important in game and are not distracting or time consuming in any way. I don't see how homosexual relationships could be any more distracting.We did have the occasional gay player in other groups. No distractions there.In one vampire campaign, we had a straight player play a gay vampire. Again, no big deal. I think the character was told they found a male individual attractive once. (None of our vampire characters ever had sexual relationships in game anyway, so no big deal.) And finally, we had an amazing vampire campaign one shot run by a transgendered individual. Once again, no big deal.I wouldn't make a big deal about gay NPCs, either. Instead of having villagers "shocked" at their "amoral behavior", you could just pass on the information that Paul is dating John.</blockquote>
