Because I can only see in your statement that talking about sex with miqo'te is the only thing that must not be BORING!
But.. talking of nose sizes is stupid, self-limiting and boring. Talking/developing culture ideas to set the Miqo'te apart from being "humans with kitty ears and tails" using what stated lore we have, is not.
Wanna talk miqo'te penis then...? What if SE some how announced sex was painful for the miqo'te. It'd make sense seeing as if they had an endless desire to screw like humans, with the social structure they have they'd breed themselves into extinction!!
Let's not lie here honey, the idea that someone such as myself plays the beastly aspect of a miqo'te that can track like a blood hound is bothersome because that might actually make a real RP challenge. Cause RP is actually supposed to be based off adventures of some kind, not the kind you take after you leave the bar through some guy's bush in his trousers. It's boring to you cause you're interested in this tribal aspect that could easily start turning into some distorted BDSM mutation of it that it never needed to be!
You wanna set them apart from humans, let's make mating PAINFUL! You wanna set them apart from humans, dabble in their heightened senses. I mean that could be easily said IC about the ways of that world in general. We can even apply it to the nunh obsession! "Gettin' snuggly with a Nunh's favorite is asking for a maiming as he'll smell your hands all over her!" And well since we're getting so biological on the idea!!!! Let's talk that kinda nature science and the fact that a trail goes cold to a blood hound after 300 hours that's about 12 and a half DAYS! Yes we can wash and so on but there are things WE can't smell that doesn't wash off which a miqo easily could detect... oh but I forgot that's boring!! BUT it isn't making them out to be just hyurs with ears and a tail!! Yet it's still boring, sorry!
So let's talk sex then instead since anything else could be boring! Cause I'm not calling it mating it's just a word being thrown around this thread to water down the real important subject here-MIQO SEX! I also wanna avoid using the term "Breeding" because it just sounds demeaning when referring to a sentient species.
And about meta-gaming, how meta gaming is it when a player with a nunh wants to challenge another simply because they like how one of their females look OoCly. Don't say it doesn't happen cause it happens all the god damn time and I've RPed for over a decade and have seen whole communities crumble to nothing but cybering when obsessing over lore aspects like this. (Not gonna call it ERP cause it's not ERP if there's little IC motivation!)
