Ah, this discussion has gone to those places.
As an aside, there are some articles out there about couples sleeping better (in the strict sense of actually sleeping) when they're in separate beds, vs. one bed where one of them has incredibly cold feet or tends to spread out all over the mattress or has some other incompatible personal habit. This of course has little to no bearing on a virtual environment where those little details... actually, I wonder how precise the NerveGear could be about detecting variations in body temperature such that if you touched another player they'd feel warmer or colder than you. |

Probably fairly realistic. Amuspheres don't have the same level of immersion as NerveGears do as part of the preventive measures on them, right? Between that and Kayaba striving to make a world first, game second, that kind of level of realism wouldn't be terribly surprising.

Goes to show we all like to talk about the sex life of characters. Probably because it's so rare that we have this chance. I mean how many shows out there have characters getting married as early as episode 10 out of 25? |

I agree the subject rarely sees much attention outside of comic relief. The only series that was so blatant about it was Gundam SEED with Kira and Flay, I'm sure there were more I'm just drawing a blank. It is a rarity for sure though |

It seems to exist given Sugou's threats, but it's unlikely to be enabled by the current management given that minors play ALO.

I have this sneaking suspicion that somehow the new management of ALO "forgot" to turn the sex feature off.
After people dropped a bunch of hints I looked up chapter 16.5, and at least in the english translation I found, I have to say the writing was pretty embarrassingly bad. I seem to recall that in the LN kissing is described as being pretty much one pre-programmed action, which does kind of beg the question of how much detail was put into the rest of the more advanced options.

So I've been doing some research and it seems people mostly think really less of 16.5. They find it comical and just plain bad. Am I the only one who thinks the chapter was good and in-character? I mean we are talking about two virgins who until were middle schoolers when the game started and have been in mortal danger ever since. Of course they are gonna be awkward in bed and say weird shit. Honestly kirito's description is exactly how i imagine a 16 year old describe would his first time.
