Well that's a shame.My friend was totally thinking of getting into roleplaying and we were going to do a 1x1, guess I'm stearing clear of THAT section though.

Just do it through emails or PMs. 1x1 RPs with a friend are a great way for someone to get into it and learn about RPing, without the time pressure on group RP posting or the worry about accidentally committing a social faux-pas.

Usually, if I'm doing a 1x1 with somebody, I stick to PMs.Not because I'm expecting to get into the steamy smut shit, but partially because I'd rather not be seen frequenting 1x1 for that reason that this thread is about. It's honestly kind of embarrassing. Sometimes it's nice to just have a relaxed, quick moving game with just another person without the expectations of a group RP, but without getting caught in the trappings of the hanky-panky lovers. Seriously, if you see anyone who are looking for lazy, generic pairings, chances are they want to pretend you're slipping a turbo hot beef injection into their nether regions. Run far, far away.

[2]. Although I will briefly mention that I don't think sexual relationships between RP characters are inherently a bad thing (excluding the ad-revenue issue, obviously) - I mean, if it organically grows between two characters throughout the course of a roleplay then I don't really see why not. It's the blatant smut, the sexual roleplay just for the sake of, uh, "pretending to slip a turbo hot beef injection into their nether regions", that pisses me off. And the fact that they've overrun 1x1 with it and are sacrificing any ad revenue for the site.

Depressing, isn't it? At least you don't have to live here and watch it happen.
