I do not engage in ERP. I have before, mind, in other games. The trend seems to be that I have poor judgement in those cases and interactions with those players simply devolve into them wanting nothing but ERP and that really is not cool with me. Even had someone just completely drop contact with me because I wouldn't ERP with them. Shrug!
I have nothing against people who do do it - as Val said, we are RPing adult characters who get into adult situations and sexuality is kind of a big part of a lot of peoples' lives! ... But I don't understand people who do nothing but ERP. If that's their thing, that's great! I just think it's weird and I am not going to take part in it. Fade to black is great!Â
Jajara has been an interesting exercise because A) lalafell so a lot of folks act with that "lalafell = Â children" mentality, B) she is EXTREMELY sexually repressed to begin with, C) thanks to a certain lalafellin trickster in her company she is currently a he and is struggling very much with identity.
She was raised thinking that sex is a dirty, shameful thing and it took her a long time to break out of that to get to a point where she can actually enjoy it, even if she only has slept with those with whom she is in committed relationship with. Still doesn't enjoy talking about it in public and is always extremely appalled when she hears people discussing all sorts of private, intimate things out on the streets!
She was also raised thinking homo- and bi- sexuality are absolutely unnatural and is definitely at least mildly homophobic. She has friends and coworkers who dabble, of course, and she doesn't go out of her way to harass them about it. There's even some kind of awkward feelings with regards to the above mentioned trickster which she has been adamantly trying to bury as soon as they come up. She just can't understand it and is pretty certain she finds it disgusting.
... which is kind a pickle, then, because of her current situation. She's in a male body and in love with someone in a female body and it's just completely throwing her for a loop. Hasn't even been able to engage in intimacy with her guy because... well. Everything is wrong! And she is so terrified that the moment she does break down and acts is the moment she'll be branded some sort of deviant or pervert.
Delial on the other hand is much more open about it. She's taken men and women as lovers, partaken of acts with multiple lovers at once, and has not once felt any reason to be ashamed about any of it. For her it is pleasure and little else. It is a rare thing for her to have romantic attachments and so she rarely equates sex with love. The last person she did sleep with, however, was also one she was so deeply enamored with that she has not been too inclined to seek out intimacy with anyone else yet. Much to her own aggravation - just when did she get so dang sentimental?!
