Many of us prefer to use real life as that supplement. Not everyone can suspend their sense of belief so easily. Not everyone can accept "fantasy!" because there are many elements in fantasy worlds that are, SURPRISE, still relatable and believable for us.
Or the lady knights still having to deal with them monthlies.
Even if they have magicked jewelry birth control.
Different strokes for different folks.
I've done some "black mage" rp as well as sword and board -and- PAUNNNNNCH in FFXIV but I always try to think about what makes sense in -my- mind as well as that of those I RP with. If it's not going to jive I simply strive to make sure that doesn't become an issue or do not actively pursue to RP with them.
