How common is sex in Cantr?

[SekoETC]

Lose interest. The *has sex* thing would be highly frustrating, at least in a long term relationship. If it was a short encounter, it might be tolerable.

[*Wiro]

That's mean, Seko. Really mean. I would be really frustrated if I'd find out the character my character has had so much fun with lost interest just because the player HAS to roleplay sex. And it HAS to be an adult.

[Sunni Daez]

I disagree but I guess it doesn't matter. Using another example, if there were two bartenders, one who sold alcohol to a minor without asking for papers and the other one after asking for papers and not realizing they were forged, I'd say the first one was more guilty. The same goes for a person who doesn't check someone's age before exposing them to sexual material. According to you it's all the same, so people might as well stop checking since they'll be screwed anyway if they ever get sued, but I'm still going to continue checking people's age because it makes a difference to me and I'd recommend it for anyone who cares.

Seko, Guilty is guilty... as I have tried so many times to point out.. I am NOT telling anyone what to do. Believe and do what you want to. The question I wanted an answer to, I got... I didn't care the other way.. if you don't ask, and they are a minor and you do it anyway.. according to your words, they are 'more' guilty... so I don't understand your point.

Again.. I was tired of sex being portrayed as a glorified part of Cantr. There CAN be a down side to the matter and I wanted to make people aware of that.. thats all.. I done what I set out to do.. Have all the sex you want to in Cantr, I couldn't care less.. but maybe, just maybe... one or two people will care about thier future, to think twice.

Seko, Guilty is guilty...

The point is, guilty of what? Of exposing a minor to sexual-themed text on purpose, or on accident while being deceived by the minor (like when they lie about their age).

Those are two completely different things.

There CAN be a down side to the matter

There's not a single thing in this world that doesn't.

Cantrians have no purpose for sex.


The way spawning works, they'd have better luck screwing a gopher hole than a person.

They could still be friends. I'm sure you're a good player but when the laws are as retarded as they are, I'm not going to take the risk. Even if you didn't want anyone to go to jail or get fined due to rp'ing sex with you, some retarded adult might think that you're not old enough to know better.

Pffft... Since when is kissing and hugging against the law? Since when is LOVE against the wall? Or ... ROLEPLAYED LOVE!? Love doesn't equal sex, and I haven't ever heard about a law saying love between an adult and a minor (or in this case a roleplayed one - but no one here seems to think of roleplaying as roleplaying anymore, but more like an interaction between two players >_>) isn't allowed.

[Sunni Daez]

Apparently there are those who are narrow minded enough to believe love cannot be role played without role playing sex... (maybe in real life,thats how some real relationships work, Cantr... is NOT real life) It has never been about hugs kisses or love..

[kronos]

Well I beg to differ Sunni. I have had a few close relationships without the need for sex and they worked quite fine.

[Sunni Daez]

Hehe Kronos.. I didn't say everybody.... read what I wrote... 'there are those who are...' I , by no means, meant everyone! I have the same.. united for over 70 years, never more than kisses and hugs.... It works great.

And if you are refering to real life... That is also a given.. I didn't mean it to sound like I meant all real life relationships... sorry... (fixed it)

[*Wiro]

It has never been about hugs kisses or love..

I've roleplayed a kiss, a hug and a stroke along the cheek with someone and it took a full page. And I doubt that the people who roleplay sex do so without adding even the slightest touch of love to it. That'd get boring anyway, it'd just be *lolol penis in vagina and then orgasm that was fun*, which is something I never saw in Cantr, and doubt really happens (that much).

[kronos]

Oh, I've received that style of roleplay with one my characters Wiro.

[SekoETC]

I've also had some platonic relationships in Cantr, but I wouldn't pretend something was happening if it wasn't played. Just writing something like *has sex* would be making things flat and emotionless. Usually the best part is the sexual tension before actual sex happens, and the foreplay. The actual intercourse gets boring very soon and I try to get it over with in a few turns. But if someone would tell me "I can't do this anymore, let's just pretend we finished", I would be disappointed. I could say "okay" but it would feel like the characters didn't really finish it.

I've also seen some bad rp. Actually I did the "let's pretend we finished" thing to someone who wasn't even pretending to be dedicated, she was hunting and whispering to other people while my character was with her, so it felt like it wasn't really happening, or that it was happening in another dimension. So maybe someone can understand why I would feel offended if someone did the "let's pretend we finished" thing to me - because it would feel like I was a crappy writer and making the other player feel uncomfortable.

Well, if the person doesn't wants to continue, just stop the act and say: 'Uh, sorry. *nervous* This never happened to me before...'

But on the legal discussion up there, some twits could create legal problems over the matter. I remember a case in SL where child looking avatars (aka. midgets) were used for prostitution, and some trollop tried to sue the clients/owners of the avatars, I don't quite remember, even though that they were controlled by a grown, 40's years old man.

But anyway, you can always make the char theorically limited to 18 years old or can host it in Kazakhstan.

Not to break the subject, but I'm going to break the subject.

I feel that so much energy has been devoted to sex and inter-character relationships in this game, especially as of late. The most active locations are the ones with blooming couples or a few flirts.

First stipulation: it could be my experience of the game. I'm down to 10 English characters now who don't travel so much, so my range is limited.

Second stipulation: if it keeps people awake and playing, I could care less. I have no problems with people roleplaying relationships with one another. I do it myself and it's always been a strictly IG thing. I know that it can be dangerous from a legal standpoint, but I think that unless you're going to bar that conduct from the game entirely then it's something that needs to be detailed in the rules and disclaimed about.

Now, is this a bad thing for our game? With a game as wide-open and vast as Cantr, is it bad that we're spending most of our time (to my observation) emoting hugs and kisses and whatever else? I suppose not, but after a while it all feels the same. If we put half the effort we put into rp'd love into IG art or "real" religion, maybe English Cantr wouldn't feel so homogeneous. I hope something comes up. I know of a few characters that are trying their damnedest and being met with the characteristic stagnant resistance, but they're slowly making headway and I applaud them.

Ok, you can have your thread back.

PS: I realize that I've come out of obscurity into a bit of a troll, and I'm sorry.
