Sexuality: IC and OOC

[Auspice]

Women get SwampAss too (at least if you live in certain regions), so add the boob sweat on a hot day and you get me staring at women not wearing bras like 'Why do you do this to yourself?!'

Pro-tip: if your well endowed female pc is going around sans bra all the time, she's gonna have hella boob sweat, hold her breasts when she goes up/down stairs or runs, and be at risk for the ladies popping out if she bends over (these may still apply regardless, but they def do sans bra).

The sneezing (or coughing!) on period is totally legit. And also the discomfort when sitting or standing on those heavy days.

For the underwear-junk-adjustment? Boob adjustments. Sometimes you just gotta reach in there and fix em.

I play male and female characters. Mostly male characters because I have had bizarre experiences when playing females. The vibe is completely different.

When playing a female, I've had other female characters get all up in my space and 'kiss' or otherwise grope my character with barely a "How do you do?" It's annoying because you never know if the player you are doing that to wanted the character to experience their "first kiss". Don't do that.

It's especially hilarious when another woman walks over and starts ask/demanding that I buy her IG things. Like -- I'd like stuff too! Buy ME some! I'm poor! It makes me wonder why guys put up with/indulge that behavior or just shake their heads as much as I do.

I love demeanor systems in game that let you just rebuff unwanted coded advances. Stahp HUGGING meeeee!

Another fun thing is the Unspoken Sun Tzu Law of Urinal Selection. No one fucking taught me this but I guarantee that if you go to a restroom to stand to pre, you know this.

Say there are six urinals. (Which, for the sake of fun, will be marked with a 'P'.) EMPTY urinals are '0' and the number is which order people arrive to pee in.

P-P-P-P-P-P

Pick any which one that you want, but usually one to either far side is appropriate because...

P-P-P-P-P-P
1-0-0-0-0-2

If one is on one side the other goes over there, which means...

P-P-P-P-P-P
1-0-3-3-0-2

Guy #3 can choose either or. No big deal.

P-P-P-P-P-P
1-6-5-3-4-2

Above is "Halftime at the game, all spaces taken. No one really talks."

Here are some other known configs...

P-P-P-P-P-P
1-0-2-0-0-0

Relatives, perhaps. People flying together. The one-urinal buffer zone is kind of like when 2 people go to a movie but aren't on a date so they don't sit next to each other. That seat in between means "Whoa, I'll watch Ant Man with you but I ain't fucking you after..."

P-P-P-P-P-P
1-2-0-0-0-0

So...this is where it gets interesting. If there are 5 urinal spaces open and someone for no reason chooses the one next to yours, it opens up this choose your own adventure game...

1. They might be looking at your dick. In some cases they probably are. In some cases it's probably totally cool. If it's not cool...

2. ...it's terribly awkward if they don't talk to you and are NOT looking at your dick. YOU HAVE GOT TO TALK OR ELSE IT'S FLIRTING. Suggested dialogue includes...

• Hey that meeting at 4 got changed to a Skype meeting.
• So I picked up that new Call of Duty game, holy shit.
• God, bro didja see the Yankees are getting murdered by the Cubbies? Fuckin A.
• You're both murderers and need to quietly whisper mafia hit man stuff to each other.

...but they're probably looking at your penis because they could have said that from the urinal on the far side.

I guarantee you this is actual logic in play that NO ONE REALLY FUCKING TALKS ABOUT but if you stand to piss at a urinal I guarantee you're also reading this and nodding your head right now.

@Ghost

I learned that a good way to get a guy to feel pain below the belt is a gentle graze to his nuts. We used to 'play' that game in passing in the military. A sort of delicate flick with the back of your knuckle will send a man to his knees and you don't have to really make full on contact. But you should also keep walking/running because when he catches his breath, he's gonna be livid.

And haha! You're also describing movie theater seating. I was so freaking confused as to why all my guy friends were taking up like... ALL the seats in the row, spread out. I asked if I should space and they said that I was fine to sit next to one of them, but THEY had to sit apart.

[Ghost]

@Trix hahaaha yes. That is exactly what is going on with the movies. It's like...

The empty movie theater seat in between ABSOLUTELY makes it clear that it's two dudes seeing a movie together but ARE NOT ON A DATE. They don't ever really discuss that they're putting a seat in between for this reason, but then assume that the empty seat between them exists as a COFFEE TABLE for them to put their snacks on.

[Lethe]

I'm a female-bodied, genderqueer bisexual person, and I mostly play bisexual guys. I make female characters and for whatever reason, they just don't get the same amount of RP and ultimately they just don't click. I have a hard time playing exclusively gay or straight because monosexuality is alien to me. It's not wrong, it's just that that's not how my brain works.

I would like to try playing more women and to maybe play around with gender identity IC. Regardless, when it comes to romantic/sexytimes RP, I prefer to stick with players I know and trust. I want people to understand that, while my PC might be available, I am very much not interested in taking that attraction OOC.

[Ghost]

Also: I understand that the pockets in so many pieces of clothing for women are absolute bullshit

"A pocket that looks like it can fit a cell phone but actually will only hold about 34 cents in pocket change and 1 small piece of dryer lint. $80 jeans with no pockets but we have a sale on $90 purses!"

I think the next time (if ever) I make a female character this is going to be a thing in RP. Pocket angst.

This is a peeve when I go to screenings.
They over book those things. Meaning every seat is gonna be filled.

But guys invariably sit down, space out, and then you get in with the 1-3 people you came with and there's only singular seats here and there until a crowd of people are standing around with no consecutive seats and the employees have to come in and yell at them to move in closer.....

....and even then some still try to surreptitiously put their jacket or something down to 'hold' a seat until an employee calls them out specifically.

• SIT DOWN.
  "Umppff."
  "Whats wrong?"
  "Nothing...nothing..."

This has happened. I have RPed this.

And good times were had by all.

[Lotherio]

Thus was had the great ball/butt/undie discussion of 2019. And me with no bleach for my eyeballs cause I poured it down a drain.

Since this is a sexuality thread, and we are having a pretty open discussion...

Like... I think I may be the only man I know that just doesn't mind people looking at my dick. I mean, I'm not anything special, really. Never really had a complex about it. I've caught people staring, and they're all 'sorry' and do that 'look away in shame' thing.

Guys check each other's junk out all the time. All the time. I don't care what your sexuality is, it's reflex. Junk comes out, eyes go there.

But we have somehow not yet normalized this behavior, and an entire culture of shame exists around it.

What the fuck?

Boob sweat.

The next time I play a modern day game where I have a fighter chick... I'm going to on the 'after scene' where the chick gets back from some real hard battle. Pose unhooking her bra and letting out the most highly sexual sound of relief that a human being can hear and that her partner has most assuredly never made her make.

fr taking off your bra after a 10hr work day is 100% better than getting laid.

This and scratching your feet after being on them all day in shoes that don't breathe.

[Trix]

Gawd! It's the first thing I DO when I come home. Never considered doing it in a game, but makes SO much sense. Boob sweat is real.

@Derp I hear ya. It's weird. There's definitely a culture of shame surrounding glancing and comparing. It's a thing and everyone knows that it happens, but like a lot of things it has this weird spooky shame factor. At the urinal it's kind of weird though because it's an awkward state of things.

I've been having a lot of conversations with my SO lately about things like that. Generally speaking, she likes to point out how a lot of girls are more comfortable touching each other than men are (braiding hair, sleep overs, sharing beds, etc), and so many men are weird about even SITTING next to each other.

I think there's a whole metric ton of psychology and philosophy piled into why that is, and I have my own take on it that is probably far better discussed over coffee than on MSB.

I would legit meet you for coffee to discuss, lol. If you're ever in my part of the country drop me a line.

[mietze]

@Trix I can confirm this is a super fun thing to do in game, and like almost all the other female players will high five you in the scene.

You should go to Ghost's preferred coffee shop. 5/5 would recommend.
