Even among the 'good' role-players there's an alarming number of people who seem to only ever devote to role-play that involves romance and sex rather than getting out into the wider game world to explore and fight monsters.
As a male/male (player/character. ...I've nothing to hide. I mean, I already posted in the IRL thread way back), I make it a point to avoid romance RP and sex/ERP is likely to never happen. (Here to play the game, right? To me [and my own personal opinion], FFXIV doesn't need that).
Should I ever make a female character, the same would likely happen as well. Not...adverse to romance, but I'm here to tell a story, not talk about the character's sex life. If it fits in the storyline? Sure, I'll probably toss in some details. Maybe there's something for others to pick up on to use.
