Going to the bathroom is also a part of life. Yet nobody roleplays that. Why? Because the specifics of going to the bathroom (or sex, for that matter) don't add anything to the story or your character.
*raises hand* As a halfling rogue on Neverwinter Nights, I roleplayed urinating on a recently-defeated giant lightning golem from the safety of a bridge overhead. It sizzled and zapped the nearby dwarf PC, and was hilarious, so I beg to differ. Joking aside, exploring those more intimate feelings can certainly add to the story of your character. That's difficult to do without at some point playing out such a scene.
By the way, am I wrong in interpreting the point of the OP being less about why people don't ERP and more about why those who do are looked down upon and instantly labeled as dirty little deviants (to paraphrase ) by some members of the community? Because the discussion seems to be more about the former, which I personally don't think is an issue.
