/Very/ true. I have a female character and get hit on about once an
hour on some muds. It's about the most annoying thing about them. Of course,
the higher level you are the less of a problem it is. It hardly ever happens
to my wizard characters and never to my god ;) I suspect it does put off
a fair number of new players though. The trouble is it's a problem
that's very hard to deal with, at least without alienating the large
adolescent male chunk of your player base.
