Some people I know don't like sex at all in their other fantasy, aka rpg, computer games, books etc. Others feel it's realistic thing, that exist but very rarely comes out except as some glossed over thing, like looking for some good time, or included in some romance. Fade to black or not get into details. Few cases consider sex in rpg:s  as good "bad form of joking".Homesexuality has always existed in most of my games, but only few times as anything very relevant. Recently one players char was turned into female (motivation was power, race changed into something that only exist as female). Character was dating certain female in the party at the time, but felt change was not a problem, after all, he had polymorph spells for that. In his line of career (sorcerer) his lousy physical stats made this pretty non-issue.I don't really like to play out npc-romances, and if something happens it's most often between pc:s or something they initiated at least.I think sexuality is interesting little social spice in rpgs, but since I don't really like to play Dungeons and Sex or Dragons and Sex, its something in background. And when it appears only general, not detailed.Of course I sort of used it as part theme, when plots, like recent city taken over by demon, who is using fertile females to breed itself "half-blooded" children.(That campaing is supposed to have creepy themes, though amazingly my hungry little bunnies creeped players out most, I have never seen them fireball away with such a gleeful frenzy, paniced at very thought one of those little critters would escape)Yep, and I had magic-infused lizard-folk, that after pc:s succeed in saving them from extinction, wanted to have heroes' heritage to their blood line, that involted "mating" with their queen. Willing to Pay with magical treasures too.Then there are have been recent "changeling stories" about switched royal kid. Helen of Troy themed "curse of beauty" war event, and diffrent relationship crap happening in background.And adventure where motivational element for leading pc was "getting closer with the hot chick". Complitely side-trek, whole thing reeked foul. Didn't intend them to bite. And not only that, they wanted to pick the hardest way to do quest. So, that kinda things with my regular group. But then I play with non-regulars I tend to tone things down. I mean everything. Make world a bit more black and white and tone down my evil. Make it a bit more D&D as written, or whatever game it is.Oh and very nice to to reading Kamikaze Midget.</blockquote>
