I think Lalas can be limiting in that a lot of people feel uncomfortable bringing any sexualization or romantic plots into their rp, b/c they are childlike. Additionally, when they do bring that into play, it can make outsiders uncomfortable.
I've seen a large increase in Lala's being rp'd lately though, which can only help educate ppl OOCly and ICly :p
Miqo's The plain honest truth is that Seekers play into a lot of adult fantasies and lore only seems to enhance this. First off, their catgirls (or boys). Secondly, their tribe arrangement is pretty harem-like. Thirdly, as Lidia already pointed out, Seeker npcs and quests have a LOT to do with sexualization. I believe there 's even an npc that rrrolls his rrrr's as I've seen other Miqo's do.
In the end, there's no wrong way to play your cat if you have justifications of it, but lore seems to strongly support a sexual culture for tribal kitties, whereas those who grew up in cities would probably be more conservative.

I have a fourth character that is mostly just for smaller interactions that my other three characters cannot take part in. I had a funny conversation with a friend about this recently. I gave this character, a tall and built Highlander, a lalafell wife partly due to it being a humorous pairing. She teased me about it though when she questioned what would happen when "the moment of truth" came =w= ;;;
Obviously I don't consider them a sexually active couple but even having said that, I don't like to imagine a couple of lalafells in the same way either. Its an OOC thing of course, but not something I care for giving the time of day in either world, eheh ;
Characters: Andre Winter (Hy'ur) / K'nahli Yohko (Miqo'te)
