<smiles> I know what ya mean. I'll be going from a LOT of people here,
but can't quote em all, so, sorry in advance. But, anyway...Erik's reason
is valid. occasionally that does happen. But, being a 14 year old male
here...One reason I've found most RPGers simply *don't* include sex is
because, well...most are male...to RP a female is...odd, in our minds.
From what I've seen/observed...females in RPGs? at my age(which basically
starts RPG-playing)? Not gonna happen, simply because:A. Most teen RPGers
are the mostly socially-isolated people, and are as such not quite
wanting to think about the possible situations because of the *raw* nerve
it hits. B. We're already concerned that we may never date. We play RPGs
to get AWAY from such things. bringing a female into the game, or
bringing up sex in real detail(done in VAGUE forms, else it, to quote the
DM of my AD&D group, "just feels...*bad* to get into"), exacerbates our
problems of not just relating with the opposite sex(Like that ain't a
problem for single males no matter *what* the age!:)), but with most
people.
Ok, I have a feeling I'll start to ramble here. I'll end now.
John
