Re: Sex Appeal and Erotic Arts
Couldn't EA be a good skill for a fey-lover to have in a fantasy? If the fey was an infinite years experienced immortal or had the skill innately it would be a fairly PG13 Unusual Background to explain it.

Re: Sex Appeal and Erotic Arts
If I were making a true-to-concept elf character with a centuries-spanning marriage and had reason to believe his skill at lovemaking was relevant, I'd totally drop a handful of points in Erotic Art. But the kinds of characters I'd be inclined to do that with would come in pairs, and their skill levels would be useful exclusively for noting how good they are at pleasing each other in bed.

Re: Sex Appeal and Erotic Arts
The perk definition says
There’s one specific trick you can do with a particular skill . . . without knowing the skill! This can’t be the skill’s primary use, a combat move, or anything done at a penalty. That clearly seems to exclude anything as broad as "everything that gives pleasure to a particular partner." It has to be a specific erotic trick. And it can't be coitus, because that's a primary use of Erotic Art for many people. Bill Stoddard |

Some players can easily slip into fantasy, which is both a blessing and a curse. For some, a player "talking sexy" may be quite arousing (or nauseating as the case may be), and if that isn't what they want out of a game (or if it is but it results in certain negatives), that becomes a problem... just like the guy that gets worked up over combat to the point that whether his character is involved or on the sidelines, he's flushed, quivering with excitement, and barely able to restrain himself from hitting something (or someone). One should also consider different worldviews and ethical systems, both in character actions and in the kinds of stimuli to which one may acceptably be exposed.
