There's a humorous spin on it as well, so it never really comes off as inappropriate (I've roleplayed some far more seemingly inappropriate themes, even in the open...). So don't worry about it. If your character is a womanizer, he's a womanizer. If Square lets itself get away with Thancred...
Ok so now that I have you and others here, let me give a more specific example of something I've mulled over a bit in regards to...too far, too R rated etc.
I was at the HoD event last week, I usually try to attend their Thursday open bar. Â Anyways one of (and I hate saying it like this is almost makes me sound like a slaver) my girls decided to show up, along with other guests I invited. Â Anyways we're outside at the beach chatting in a circle, and I don't /really/ know why this was brought up, but my secretary Ridley cleans my room after long nights of partying and debauch,comes in the next day to remove the 'wilted flowers' and get new ones etc. Â Anyways someone said "I bet you pick rubbers up off the floor all the time" (which surprised me who know birth control was in the game) and the girl I mentioned that showed up said "no we don't use those" and I was just....hm that might go too far for RP. Â Is it? Â Beats me. Â Guide me senpais.
On the other hand, if you think something is going to far, or that it doesn't fit into your character or what he does, make a quick OOC mention of it. Communication is important. If everyone was fine with the mention of bedroom details in that little circle (and within range), fine, okay. But if not? Best move the topic onto something else.
With respect to that last part, if it's legitimately a part of your character, go brave! Of course, it may get some odd in-character reactions, but that's half the fun right there.
