First thing I did was make a male avatar (as I am a guy), but I realized that if this game is like most online sex-oriented activities, there would be a whole ton of dudes around, and it might make sense to have a female character too. In my mind it didn't matter, but once I was asked whether I was the same gender as my avatar I began to wonder if it was a bigger deal than it seemed to me. I just want to make sure not to violate the etiquette of this community and get people mad at me on accident.

Hey, I'm new to the game, and I recently ran into an interesting situation where I was asked if I was actually the same gender as my avatar. I want to be sensitive to the game's etiquette, so I figured I'd ask on here; is it considered important to specify your IRL gender in your character's profile or something? I didn't even think about it, personally; the gender of the person at the other computer has nothing to do with the fantasy of the game and what I'm seeing, so I honestly don't care at all, but it seems some people do. If I make a character opposite my own gender, should I be making that clear to people?
