Hmm...
I think the fact that it's a modern day setting means that it hits closer to home for me then a fantasy setting and I'll tend to take fewer risks with such things. Sadly (which goes to show how much I’m influenced by society), part of it is the lack of diversity in women’s roles as hero’s or villains in our media. It tends to fall into just a handful of roles… sex-kitten, GI Jane, or dominatrix. There should be a lot more then that… I’ll try to correct that when I DM

.Canis... my apologies as well, I know I came across harshly in my reply to you. And additionally, I probably didn't phrase things in the clearest way in my original posts.
Sorry to hear about your sister btw
. There are too many a-hole guys out there and I understand your response.

. There are too many a-hole guys out there and I understand your response.In my FR campaign I had a amazing female character that I never got to use... ugh.
She was a Thayan wizard, artist, politician and brilliant tactitian that would turn any disadvantage into an advantage... she excelled in abstract thinking and was amazingly creative. I was setting her up as a political nemesis, not one you would fight openly...
Unfortunately the players had the Thayan compound demolished and my RP-opponent went by the wayside, lol. I'll have to think of a new devious way to involve her now.

Yeah. They're certainly different. Guys have slightly higher sex drives on average. And they peak at a young age (traditionally 18, though I wouldn't be surprised if that was sneaking higher. As far as I know, no one's looked at it in a while.)
However, many women have been known to have MONSTROUS sex drives in their 30s. Again, traditionally peaking at around 35, but in this case, I imagine the age would be coming down instead of going up. Female puberty is getting earlier, at least partially for nutritional reasons, and also because of all the estrogen analogues we're pumping into the environment (DDE, for instance). Puberty is getting earlier, and, unlike the male reproductive system, the female one has a definite timetable. Therefore, sexual peak and senescence should also be getting earlier.
There's a lot of anecdotal "data" out there about a certain birth control implant (I can't remember which one) which drives female sex drives through the roof. A friend's girlfriend went on the thing (partly as his urging since he had heard about the "side-effect"), and she actually wore him out.
I know I was being a jerk, but I LMAO when he told me.

Boy the ups and downs of this thread (no pun intended). We start off talking about female gamers in general, then get into posting pics and talking about girlfriends, then all the pick up posts, to serious discussion about making the game better for females and the use of female NPCs and now........female birthcontrol that increases sex drive......amazing thread.

I've only gamed with one female, a friends wife, and even then only for a few sessions. I must say though she ways EXTREMELY bloodthirsty, moreso than the rest of the group, in fact moreso than I would expect from a spotty teenage munchkin.
A question then to the ladies on the 'boards - how much of your own personality goes into your characters and their motivations? Also, do you exclusively play female characters?
