I just don't have a way to conceptualize "having sex with fictional characters" which is different than with real people. I mean, sex is pretty intimate regardless of whether one is a constructed fabulation or not.

Well, just to play devil's advocate for a moment, would this mean that one couldn't fantasize about a character who's canonically in a relationship with someone else? I mean, say you fantasize about shagging Princess Leia - would she still be Leia if she were cheating on Han?

Also, would this mean that gay men and women would be largely excluded from this particular exercise, since a majority of contemporary fictional characters are canonically straight?

I guess what it comes down to for me is, I think most people have had inappropriate fantasies about real people at some point in their lives without it having much of a negative impact, so fantasies about fictional characters seem harmless to me.
