This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: GeekyBugle;1143326Maybe because neither the game nor your players lend to it?

I'm as "problematic" in real life as I'm on this forum, and most of my players aren't any better.

It's just that "sex scenes in a book" and "sex scenes in a tabletop game" aren't the same thing.

Especially in regards to momentum.

Unless we're talking a gangbang or orgy, sex scenes in a tabletop RPG involve 1 PC and 1 NPC.

AKA, it's like hacking in cyberpunk games. The game stops for the table while 1 PC plays his own mini-game.  

Because momentum is key to immersion, I minimize any time focused on a single player that leaves the rest of the table unengaged.

Here's how I run the sexy time.

"Kullnan sweeps the barmaid in his arms and she's giggling as he takes her up the stairs."
"So what are the rest of you doing?"
[clatter some dice and let them respond.]
"Sounds good. We'll get back to Kullnan later, but funnily enough, nobody noticed the barmaid palm that dagger. Okay, we'll start with you, as your necromancer crawls under the table..."

As this is about Conan and I've been reading through the 2d20 versions where Momentum is a game mechanic, this is unintentionally hilarious.

Or two PCs, which was hilarious when the other player was the GMs girlfriend. We really hammed it up.

Actually, the OP was about trying not to trigger people because they assumed that your setting was "rapey" and then went off about it.

A Conan game is an excellent example that many can relate to so, glad to see the engagement.
