Romantic RP or CyberRP?

Postby Llaaldara » Mon Apr 07, 2003 7:17 pm

Just out of curioisty... um..

If you get really intimate with someone and you're in character, and they're in character and the whole thing is done in RP fasion.. is that still considered Cyber or just really erotic RP?

Not asking for any particular reason or anything. :roll:


I guess it's kinda like asking if Romance Novels are considered Porn?

Um.. yeah.. so wutchya think? :|

I think it will all depend on how far we view and take the mud. Do you take this fictional world serouse? and does it come first too you or is it just a game?

Is this the online equivalent of asking what the difference is between lovemaking and sex?

Do you mean Creative writingly inspired or sexually deviantly inspired?

Well I don't walk around normally thinking i'm a drow-elf lich/invoker during my !mud time. So no, it's not 'doing it' for me. I'm just kinda.. not so shy to persue some possible areas I guess you could say. But I'd like to know ahead of time if i go down a certain road if i'm going to be missinterpreted.

Ok even I'm confused now. :? Err

Mysrel tells you 'daddy? No, I think you have the terminology wrong'
You tell Mysrel 'comeon now we both know i would be the top'
Mysrel tells you 'can be where ever you want to be, yer still getting ****** like a drunken cheerleader'

Well... just to be blunt, and I think most everybody who knows me already realizes I could care less what most people think about me...

I always thought cybersex was an online connection which enhanced long-distance mutual (*supposedly* mutual!) masturbation. You can RP a sexual event, but how often do you have a need to do that for the purposes of the game? If it's done for the purposes of sexual satisfaction I think I'd call it cybersex.

And whether or not there's anything wrong with that is entirely up to you.

attraction

Postby Cilole » Mon Apr 07, 2003 9:34 pm

Although i htink to love someone you have to be attracted to them. so is it really possible to be attracted to someone on the mud, and are you attracted to person at the computer or the imaginary player, and if its for imaginary then is it possible that anyone can love cifle :P

Well my concern is it would be for an RP purpose. I was joking around with some friends on the mud one day, and i said jokingly out of RP disgruntlement that i was going to RP my grey elf as a ditzy white trailor-park-trash slut. So that people would say 'omg so and so is such a slut!' :shock: and I'd say "Omg Thanks! I'm trying my best!" :D


So the question arose in my head... What if someone really did this? :roll:

I'm such an !slut in real life (going on 3 years without having intercourse here) that i'd be kinda fun RP'n something I'm so not in actuality. Maybe :roll:


And to be quite honest, Cyber doesn't do anything for me. If the person is exceptionally good at it I might get a little horney and my imagination going. But i'm not gonna suddenly need to log off for 20 mins or wutever. Even talking about sex online doesn't do it for me. There are some things people do that might stir my desire, but that's about it. :wink:

um .. yeah!

Um.. so a lot of the elf girls are sluts?


Actually I have no idea what to RP my grey elf as. That's the only idea that actually made me laugh and smile, and it was out of spite.


Whatever I do, I don't wanna RP anymore Domineering/bitchy chars. Too many people think I'm really like that! -groan- :cry:

First, I don't really think the name you attach to it is very important. People have certain connotations they attach to "cybersex" and if you don't feel like you want to be associated with that, then simply don't associate it. But for semantics sake, I'd say if you're flirting with someone it's cybersex, if you're dramatically carrying out the actions and affections of your character toward their character, it's roleplay.

Secondly, I don't know how well the character you're describing would be received in the game. It's possible sure, and I don't know of anyone who purposely tried to roleplay that way (though I do know a few who acted like it without even stepping under the pretense of RP heh). But most people play Sojourn as a way to step away from ordinary life... and I don't know how many people would be pleased if the game felt like an AOL chatroom. The online-slut persona is so common on the internet these days that I don't know if it's really an "escape" anymore...

I'm going to have to say, that unless you are some sort of machien and can absolutely seperate your emotions from yourself when you RP, I would have to say that it is fulfilling some sort of emotional need for you. If you don't in the least bit feel excited, happy, or some sort of emotion while doing it, then I would say its just Romantic RP, but if you do feel some emotion while doign it, I would say it is pretty close to Cyber.

So,if an illithid RPs insenimating itself,if I get excited and/or happy about it,I'm fulfilling my own sexual desire?


I guess that means I can masturbate for the sake of RPing!


Somehow that's not right.

Does this also mean if you do it for a living, and not because it's something you enjoy, it's not porn? :roll:

Okay, my dwarf has a girl (not sure how you can tell) back in MH, he's no flirting, !nothing with chicks cept friendly. My necro is a horny guy, but just for the sake of RP. He's supposed be suave (that spelled right?) and cool and intelligent and all that. In either case, it's all RP. I think the cyber is when you start breathing heavy at the keyboard. I think so anyway. In either case, you can be slutty or trashy or whatever without going and actually doing that whole sex act type out thing. If you find you really want to, well then I think it's gotta be cyber :wink:

You should RP Xena style. Cute, sexy war, who's not slutty, funny, but quite possibly a lesbian:)

ANYWAY, I play a dwarf and necro, I don't want cyber, but let's face it corpse handlers and dwarfs aren't sexy anyway (well, my gf things dwarfs are sexy, but that's a whole nother ballpark).
That is all.

Illithids view their fertilizations as a natural act, no more peculiar than breathing. Also remember that Illithids have no orgiastic response from it, self-fertilization is just something they need to do twice in their life (like pulling wisdom teeth) with no associated physical pleasure. Illithids DO have intense sensual responses from braindraining, but that's a whole other story ;)

And there you have it. Xisi just summed up all the problems with sex over the ages. When you start to see sex as an unnatural act then you definitely have some problems. As long as it's happening between two (or whatever number) consenting adults then why in the world would you care what anybody else thinks about it?

Hey I said that was what ILLITHIDS thought! Remember they're monsters of abstract logic. HUMANS feel quite differently about the subject ;)

I'm a human and I think sex is a completely natural act. In literature elves seem to enjoy getting back to nature, as well.

Oh, giggle. I was talking about the special/mundane aspect, not natural/unnatural :D

I also think it natural, but I regard it quite differently from the way I do breathing or the digestion of food. ;)
