I've ERP'd before, but to be frank, I am SUPER awkward with it and just generally avoid it. It's just not my bag, but it's totally cool with me whatever people want to do behind closed doors.
That aside, sex and sexuality still do play a good bit into Lalah's RP. We may not RP out the sex scenes, but we know pretty well how things go between Lalah and her mate J'inwa. They want a family, and tend to be fairly active in pursuing that goal; Lalah will blindfold or tie J'inwa up, something he loves. And sometimes, some nights are more for the soft romance. J'inwa's player and I are almost always on the same page with this, so we don't even need to discuss it much. And yet tiny details do slip into RP that give people little glimpses into their private relationship.
On a more general note, sex is a pretty Big Deal to Lalah. She won't just sleep with anyone, though she's much more free with non-penetration actions. She's fairly stick-straight, but she's been known to flirt with women now and then. Sex, and sexuality, definitely helped to shape her character. She'll be moodier and more depressed if it's been a while since she's had time to make love to her mate. Or she might be tired but in a significantly better mood if she's had a long night between the sheets (not that there have to be any sheets involved).
I think it's important to take sex into consideration for a character, even if that consideration is nothing more than saying "Yeah, she's not interested in that at ALL."
