This has been a really interesting read and I'll add my opinion (and Lyon's) in as well.
I imagine this is one of those subjects where people have a hard time telling between IC and OOC feelings because of how intimate a subject like sex can be for people. I don't look down on ERP and I don't even mind people who make characters to that end, as someone had already pointed out, if two people are willing and eager to do it in privacy then I'm not one to judge.
Lyon is a bit of a naive person with a very basic understanding of society and people in general. She actually had an encounter with a prostitute and found the whole idea of it vaguely glamourous and exciting, however when it comes to sex itself Lyon is obviously inexperienced and thus doesn't feel confident sexually. When she was 'hit on' by another character she tried to give the illusion of confidence by playing along but was actually covering for her own insecurity. Lyon doesn't have a 'type' and is very much more personality focused but may not be opposed to a one night stand or something similar if the situation was right.
Speaking OOC again, I'm not opposed to having an RP relationship with someone else, provided it makes logical sense for the character. In terms of engaging with ERP itself, I could see myself taking part to the extent that it continues to forward the character but if it just comes down to the gritty details I would then opt for a 'fade to black'.
It's one of the more interesting subjects of RP that's for sure.
