In other words... "The GM creates a situation in which your behavior is problematic." How problematic? Wlll... that's a combination between how much you paid for the Disad (Self Control Cost Modifier) and how the GM runs the game. If they read "Like all success rolls, self-control rolls are subject to modifiers" and aren't a jerk about, then having a gun put to your head and being told "Make another damned comment about sex, just do it!" should grant you a bonus. Probably enough such that you only fail on a 17 or 18 if your SC roll is a 15. Quote:

If the GM puts the situation there, and they want your Character to be tempted, they will set up that stage. Otherwise, it really doesn't matter how gropy the Lech gets, if it's not to their detriment. (Which is why I mentioned earlier in the thread, I've adjusted Lecherousness to being more monetarily problematic in my DF games) |

Harry P. Flashman probably has Lecherousness (15) or (12) in GURPS. I don't think that is in any way a problem. If you want 'eccentric' then pick a Quirk or a 5-point disadvantage. There are many to chose from. I think that some GURPS authors have used Addiction to represent characters who get grumpy without regular partner-sex ... Compulsive Behaviour could also work for people who compulsively grope or cat-call or flash, or Bruno's acquaintance who had trouble concentrating unless he went home for a quickie at lunch. A 'partner of the week' disadvantage, for characters who keep seeking out new lovers but don't make a pass at everything that moves, could be fun to write up. So could be something to suit noir detectives who are "a sucker for a pretty face" and softer interpretations of Conan. So Lecherousness is not at all the only trait you can use for a very sexual or romantic character.

Re: Lecherousness & Bisexuality
That sounds like a great candidate for a complimentary skill for influence skills.
Quote:
I would distinguish between interest (noting others' reactions) vs. actually making passes at them. The latter is more of a "how dare you think I'm in your league?" being annoyed if unattractive people flirt? That could more than esteem though, but maybe some kind of social disadvantage? Being easily angered (and maybe starting conflicts with people) merely for interest seems like a drawback. Quote:
I think that's the case if there are attractive (or better) ones around, but I forgot the last bit: you are likely to change your standards of attractiveness if no truly attractive members of the appropriate sex are available!That could mean, not only that you would begin hitting on average (or even ugly) women if no >=attractive ones are around, but it might even be interpreted to mean you'd hit on "attractive members of the inappropriate sex" too? Sub the "very" H/B triggers you don't need to roll more than daily to avoid making passes... and it isn't entirely clear how extensive a "pass" needs to be. Does "using what-ever wiles and skills you can bring to bear." always mean you need to grope them, for example, or could you simply give them a smouldering flirty look? |

It's a fine line to walk between paying attention and ignoring a person who 'believes they are entitled' to being fawned over due to their looks, and I got very good at knowing which side of the line to be on to generate and increase their interest in me. I also eventually decided it wasn't very much fun, but that's down to what I wanted in my life, not down to any indictment of their personality or looks. |

I think that might just be a component (perhaps a common one) of personalities in general, and not necessarily more frequent amongst more confident/attractive people? |

The GM can tell you that your character has the hots for the skeptical quartermaster or the mechanic fixing your getaway vehicle, but otherwise its your responsibility to make a nuisance of your character.
