Sex Scenes in Roleplay?

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Kaytayy Emm on Tue Aug 19, 2008 12:39 pm

Do you think it's okay to actually describe sex scenes in a roleplay? As long as it's 1x1? I think it's fine over PM, don't you?

If it isn't driving the storyline, it doesn't need to be in the roleplay. Period.

I think that the response lots of people seem to have to sex in RP's isn't necessarily the right one. You say, "If it isn't driving the storyline, it doesn't need to be in the roleplay." While I do agree, that sex should be kept out of public RP's -- after all, anyone can get to this site -- I quite thoroughly disagree with that statement.

If you RP with that in mind, characters lose the traits of themselves that don't contribute to the story. Small tics and little details. Are they necessary? Theoretically, no. But, the RP is a lot more fun if its a large, involved, detailed story. Not just a plot.

If all you try to do when you RP is push forward the plot, you create a very boring and dull, nondescript handful of sentences.

I would think that whatever does or doesn't need to be contained in RP is up to the preferences of those involved, really. How can anyone decide for someone else what needs to exist for someone else's RP enjoyment? I do see your point, Rem, and I respect it as an adult who tires of unimaginative young teens who seek out cheesy hook-up stories for a good time. But I don't agree with the statement. Just because one aspect doesn't rule the root of a story doesn't make it unnecessary. That would make most novels a pretty dull read.

Yanno now that I think of it, obviously it was just awkward wording. I know you don't mean to rule out things not driven by the plot. :3 I'm sure you tire of having to defend necessary rules.

In a website open to RPers of all ages, it cannot be allowed. For graphic intimacy, Pup, I suggest emails or IMs. It's a rule for the sake of the board, not for personal opinion. I prefer graphic intimacy in my RPs as well. It's realistic for me, and romance is a big part of human life. But it's also something that must be kept private for the sake of young eyes--and to avoid offending people. If it's not allowed on the board, it's simply not allowed. I also suggest broadening your RP horizons a bit. You joined an RP board knowing the rules. Raising qualms about them once you join won't do you much good. Try to find enjoyment in what is allowed.

I am available as an RP mentor should you seek to improve.
I draw things that you may like.
I like Ronald Jenkees and you might, too.

I require a certain level of writing skill in my stories. Don't be insulted, I just prefer to RP novel-level material. (I, I, I, me, me, me. I sound like such a jerk.)

I think sex scenes are one of the most interesting and intricate parts of a role-play; that is, if it's not badly written. Just piecing the movements and words together are hard to do, and most of the time the scenes sound fake because people don't really put much effort in to it. I think it's wonderful to describe sex scenes in a role-play, but you also have to be aware of the rules. (take it to the pms, etc.) Personally, I like sex scenes, but they are not necessary if the story doesn't revolve around it. I have a decent RP idea that'll be good for a few sex scenes via pm, if you want to join send me a message. :D
I love DCLXVI and Kira Walker to the third degree.

Let me put it this way. In most good and classy movies, they don't go into details on the sex scenes, even the important ones that drive the plot. Sometimes they do, because the sex itself IS an important part of the plot, it is a plot point. But generally, no, you don't need to have internet sex with your fake RP girlfriend.

Again, if a sex scene is well-written, it's driving the story. It's fleshing out (no pun intended!) the characters, a very important part of storyline progression.

However, when two users are going back and forth for their own enjoyment, that shouldn't be part of the public storyline - take it away to PM, IM, or other private chat.

So your saying that if a sex post is well written detailing everything, it drives the story? On the contrary, that scene could help CONTRIBUTE to drive the plot.

On the other hand, maybe people just want to write well in sex scenes than just stuff like "Sally humped Tim. Tim moans." Thats not a sex scene at all...yet thats what I feel like your dumbing it down to Remaeus, in my opinion.

I agree with Ramaeus. Unless it helps the characters over some 'emotional foothold' it really isn't necessary. However, I also enjoy what Darcy has said. When they get well-written, very detailed, and flow well, sex scenes are hella' fun. However, you must check yourself and make sure you aren't just doing this because you have a momentary increase in hormones xP

In short: If it is well-written and has a point, it is a good thing, but it must be kept within the circle of people who are participating.

Ok i agree half with Remaeus and half with Darcy on this one... sure if it is a small part of the story and is well written then it's do able...but in my opinion an rp only about it is just well how should i say it....perverse? On the other hand yes it should only be in the PM's or things private....which is another reason to kepp your profile info Private...but there are more ways to look at it....ye sthere is sex in real life which means it can fit into and rpg but as long as there is not to much in an rp it makes it in my opinion ok... agree? disagree? But yes sex is a difficult matter here and well it must be taken seriously... and another thing i'm not sure if anyone has noticed... has anyone evr thought about the dangers of Harassment in RolePlayGateway?

Harassment happens all the time in here and every other forum, its part of it...

Administrative edit by Remaeus: Actually, the staff members of RolePlayGateway work very hard to prevent harassment of any sort.

Having sex scenes = okay.

Describing sex scenes = not okay.

Give me one good reason why we should know how their hips move, what they said, and what went where. I've had plenty of RPs with sexual themes and implication, and they've yet to take away from my characters.

On a semi-related note, I don't believe that 1x1 roleplays belong on forums, either. But that's another debate for another day. :)

I was on another forum were sex rps were allowed and someone complained. So the admin made a mature section which was password protected... of course kids still got in. XD I don't agree with sex in rps tho. I dunno it bothers me to see how far people will go. PM'ing is fine. Just keep it off the boards/chat please.
