A Study in Sexuality
001. How do you identify on the sexual spectrum? What's your rating on the Kinsey Scale? Is your character open about this identity, or do they stay closeted to anybody?Gay, lesbian, bisexual, demisexual, pansexual, asexual (sex-positive or sex-repulsed), etc...002. How do you identify on the romantic spectrum?
Homoromantic, hetero-romantic, aromantic, panromantic, etc...003. What is your character's gender identity? Do they go by what they were assigned at birth, or identify as trans? Are they "out"? Do they subscribe to societal expectations of standard gender norms?
Input.004. Are you monogamous or polyamorous?
Monogamous versus polyamorous does not mean the same thing as "single or multi-ship", in this context. You can be multi-ship and have multiple WPs but your muse could still be monogamous in those situations.005. Do you believe in saying "I love you" to people that aren't your family or significant other? Why or why not?
Input.006. What are their views on sex, in general?
Input.007. Your character is asked out on a date, and they accept for whatever reason. Would they talk about "sensitive topics" right out the gate? How important is open communication to your character? Do they prefer to gauge compatibility first, or get to know the person first before bringing up those topics?
Sensitive topics being; How fast do they move in a relationship? Do they want kids? What are their thoughts on LGBTQ+ matters? Things that might scare somebody a bit, but also challenge their sense of open-mindedness.008. What do you value most in friendships or platonic relationships? Are there any requirements or absolute deal-breakers?
Input.009. Do you have a lover or partner? Somebody that would be considered your "significant other", even if not in a romantic or sexual sense? How do you handle things such as romance and sex, if at all?
Input.010. How does your character handle things such as jealousy or possessiveness? Either from their point of view, or their partner's.
Input.011. What does your character find attractive in other people? This can be physical or personality-related. On the other end, what turns them off? Is it their political views? The way they present themselves?
Input.012. What are your character's views on consent? How long would they let things slide before they broke off a friendship or partnership with someone, if their boundaries were pushed?
Input.013. Does your muse believe in things such as "love at first sight"? How much of a "hopeless romantic" are they?
Input.014. If you had to pick one person, who would your muse's "platonic soulmate" be?
Input.015. Would your character ever have "the talk" with their partner before engaging in sexual activity, if at all? If your character is asexual, would they ever engage in sexual activity, for any reason, to begin with? Or do they remain strictly celibate?
Input.016. What is your character's views on "moral matters" such as virginity versus promiscuity? Do they look down upon people who "sleep around" or engage in premarital sex, or generally think it's really none of their business unless it affects them, personally? Does their religion (if any) have an impact on these views?
Input.017. Is your character more dominant/assertive or submissive/passive? A little bit of both? This doesn't necessarily have to be in a sexual sense. How does your character handle the power dynamics in their relationships?
Input.018. Fun question! Big spoon or little spoon? Does your muse enjoy things like skinship/physical affection? Do they tend to take on a nurturing role in their friendships, or do they enjoy being taken care of, more?
Input.019. What does your character consider as "cheating"? How important is trust in their relationship? Are they more of an open book or do they believe in some semblance of privacy? Do they let their S.O. look through their phone?
Input.020. How important is a partnership or relationship to your character? Are they happier being more independent, or do they want a significant other that matches their ideals, well, even if it's not a "perfect" match?
Input.
