Opposite of Lecherousness

[Fwibos]

ON a larger note, is this so that the characeter can avoid sexual situations or so you can?

I avoid roleplaying sex in my games. I fade to black pretty quickly.

Anyway, If you are actually immune, it'd be based on Indomitable (one skill only -80%) for around 3 points IF sex appeal comes up a lot. If it doesn't occur to you that your being hit on - that's Clueless (+4 to resist sex appeal!) and maybe oblivious.

If it's a player issue, bring it up with the GM.

In normal usage Indomitable is indistinguishable from Strong Will. What is Gurps usage?

In what sense? Indomitable is essentially a special case of Resistant (Immunity).

It's a specific advantage, see p60 in the Basic Set.

Indomitable 15 points
You are impossible to influence through ordinary words or actions. Those who wish to use Influence skills on you (see Influence Rolls, p. 359) must possess a suitable advantage: Empathy (p. 51) if you are a human or similar being, Animal Empathy (p. 40) if you’re a beast, Plant Empathy (p. 75) if you’re a plant, or Spirit Empathy (p. 88) if you’re a demon, ghost, etc. Everyone else – however convincing – fails automatically. This trait often accompanies Unfazeable (p. 95).

I'd do things like this:

Immunity to all Influence Skills [30]
Immunity to three social skills [15]
E.G: Lower class social skills (Intimidation, Sex Appeal and Streetwise)
Immunity to two social skills [10]
E.G: Upper class social skills (Diplomacy and Savoir-Faire)
Immunity to one social skill [5]
E.G: Fast-Talk

Special Limitation
Not vs. those with special insight -50%: Your Immunity or resistance doesn't work against those with the Empathy advantage or at GM discretion similar traits.

Immunity to all Influence Skills (Not vs. those with special insight -50%) [15] = Indomitable [15]

So you could have one of:

1. Immunity to Sex Appeal (Cosmic: Resists Cosmic Social Skills +50%) [8]
2. Immunity to Sex Appeal [5]
3. Immunity to Sex Appeal (Cosmic: Resists Cosmic Social Skills +50%; Not vs. those with special insight -50%) [5]
4. Immunity to Sex Appeal (Not vs. those with special insight -50%) [3]
5. Resistant to Sex Appeal +8 (Cosmic: Resists Cosmic Social Skills +50%) [3]
6. Resistant to Sex Appeal +8 [2]
7. Resistant to Sex Appeal +8 (Cosmic: Resists Cosmic Social Skills +50%; Not vs. those with special insight -50%) [2]
8. Resistant to Sex Appeal +3 (Cosmic: Resists Cosmic Social Skills +50%;) [2]
9. Resistant to Sex Appeal +3 [1]
10. Resistant to Sex Appeal +8 (Not vs. those with special insight -50%) [1]

I'm the GM, the character is likely an NPC that might be handed to a new player if the chance comes up. It's also just as much a thought-experiment for recreating a character from fiction I write.

[Xplo]

I can see most games letting this be a Perk; seduction (used against a PC) happens pretty rarely, and unless the PC has Lecherous or something the player can theoretically just declare that their character's uninterested. Anything more would be overpriced.

In a game where seduction happens fairly frequently, AND either the players are all deep roleplayer-types who would go along with a well-planned seduction even though they know their characters will probably suffer for it, or the GM is rigorous in applying penalties to PCs who fail to resist influence attempts by NPCs, you should probably pay for Immunity.

A character with psychological trauma probably has other problems too, but I wouldn't try to roll them into this trait - buy them separately.

[Sense of Duty (Kittens)]

I'd take Mentally sexless and throw in some penalties to understand sexual people to counterbalance the fact that there are no physical anomalies.

[Xplo]

I feel like "doesn't want sex" and "can't perform/understand sex well" are two different effects that don't automatically go together. Consider the archetypal sexbot, for instance, which is solely designed as a pleasure device but can't actually be seduced since it's only programmed to feign interest.

You certainly could bundle the effects together into a metatrait - and in the case of a normal human who's asexual due to psychological trauma, you might want to - but be aware that's what you're doing.

Rather than the penalties everyone is suggesting, you might want something like Vow: make no sexual advances. It's probably worth a point, maybe 5, and if roleplayed properly, handles the issue without all those pesky modifiers.

Maybe even(though this is a side issue) they can be effective enough to be used only on duty thus allowing palace servants to do their job and have a normal life.

Does the degree of interest depend on when the eunuch is castrated?
