As a matter of fact, I am glad that Joe has brought all this crap, all these demons and cockroaches that possess him, to our attention, and perhaps it's possible to turn it into smth productive (I hope my questions will keep the guy at bay, in the meantime)
What level of eroticism is appropriate in a mod is the question that I'd love to ask. The notorious Kiara-Zaya doesn't give an answer. IMO. The only episode is when you have to read two or three pages copied from a novel, I take. I only made it into a couple sentences, skipped the rest, not to fall asleep
I recently read 1,001 Night online (translated by Sir Richard Burton), and it impressed me much. And now it seems to me that the same level of eroticism is what a mod author is allowed to reveal
Much depends on not only actions depicted, of course, but the choice of words. Smth like "I like your boobs, hot chick", or "Wassup, dude. Wanna ... me now?" on the night when Global RomanceActive is set to 2 is one thing, and may look dirty even if the content is modest
On the other hand, here's an example of how they depict it in 1,001 Nights (transl. Sir Richard Burton), just a randomly chosen piece:
Thereupon Kut al-Kulub arose and took him to her bosom and kissed him; for the love of him was firm fixed in her heart, so that she disclosed to him her secret and all the affection she felt; and, throwing her arms round Ghanim's neck like a collar of pearls, kissed him again and yet again
Then he took her legs and passed them round his waist and she wound her arms about his neck, and met him with kisses and murmurs of pleasure and amorous toyings. Next he sucked her tongue and she sucked his, and lastly, he loosed the strings of her petticoat-trousers and abated her maidenhead
