As I've said before, we play adult characters living adult lives. Part of those adult lives involve sex at some point in them, and it's going to happen.
Val is a very sexual character. He loves intercourse because he likes making the woman feel good and revels in the attention they give him. It's a huge boost to his ego and, considering his borderline narcissism, it kind of just fits his character. It allows for very interesting RP since he's tied down and has to fight his personal urges in order to remain faithful to the woman he loves and cares for, rather than just having a.. bland, boring relationship.
Melfice, on the other hand, doesn't like people to touch him. He always wears gloves and keeps himself covered to avoid physical contact as much as possible.
Cyrus is very good-minded and sees sex as something that is incredibly taboo and should only be shared with the one you love.
Like Gaspard, I consider ERP to just be another form of RP. It's very intimate, yes, but it allows characters to share that intimacy. It gives the characters a chance to interact with one another on an incredibly deep level, and can help set the tone for the relationship itself. Thus, I see sexuality and intercourse in general to be an important factor in RP. Is it the only thing that I RP? No, of course not. There are a lot of other things to get involved in as well, but as others have said, it definitely has an impact on the characters. Val, for example, is incredibly sweet on his wife when they are alone. He's very kind and very gentle, and while others may assume him to be a pompous ass, his significant other knows better. It adds another layer of depth to their relationship; a side that only she sees.
