procreation, recreation, and everything in between


Thoughts on Sex?

We've got lots of memes about engaging in sex, asking for sex, flirting around in hopes of having sex, but what do our characters really think of sex? It's different for everyone, after all. Some people view sex as something sacred only meant to be experienced between married partners, while others hold it in a far lesser regard.

We writers might want to smash our blorbo into anyone we think they might look good with, but are our characters really so cavalier about doing the do? Maybe they're waiting for the right one! Maybe they'll toss themselves at anything that moves! Let's find out!

  • No blank top-levels.
  • "What are your views on sex?"
    • That's it. That's what characters are being asked.
    • Feel free to toss in some truth serum! Otherwise, whatever character's say is just... whatever they feel like saying. They can lie if they want. We're not your parents.

Human copulation... oh! Well, no, that's not always the purpose. Sometimes sex is had for the simple sake of pleasure, like I said, fun. The release of certain hormones can stimulate positive, uh... neurotransmitters, and promote health and forge bonds between people. All of that can aid with efficiency.

I don't think I like the sound of converting.

There are better ways to promote health and aid in efficiency.

[Not that she'd really know, truthfully. This is all ~new territory~. She's not sure she likes how much waffle people put into it.]

Many had the same reservations but found their worries quelled in the Collective.

Maybe so but it's not often you find one singular thing that promotes so much all at once. It's an experience.

[He wrinkles his nose at the mention of a Collective.]

I think I like my worries the way they are. What do you even do for fun in a collective?
