Sexuality, not only the act of sex but how one views it and themselves within the spectrum, affects us in real life and thus it makes sense that it would affect our characters as well. That being said, I've thought about how each of my characters would react in different situations from playful flirting to full blown dashing to an inn room. It gives them dimension and makes it fun to play the different aspects within each character.
Eresh has been limited in her sexual interactions due to her work coming first. Many a men aren't interested in a woman who spends more of her time in a library or on a dig site than she does with him. Now that her profession has changed and she's spending more time around people, especially one couple within her company, she's beginning to wonder what's out there. Thoughts that really hadn't crossed her mind much before are playing a bigger role in her day to day so it's changing how she views it. I even offered the character to Grace for a little fun just to shake things up and see what happens.
Adelina is the complete opposite. Sex is what got her where she is. She's a courtesan and a brothel owner, sex is her business. She can be anyone you want her to be inside of what you pay for but outside of it, she's more untouchable. Sex and relationships don't have the same meaning for her that they do Eresh. It's not emotional for her and she doesn't have the desire for a true relationship because she's secretly afraid it would take everything she's worked so hard for away.
As for ERP, I've done it but it isn't a focus of RP for me. Fade to black works just as well most times but sometimes you need that little extra to make a connection or bring the story full circle. So long as the whole thing stays IC, I'm happy and willing to ERP to progress the story.
