Realistic? No. More fun? Yes. That's the whole point of this game: to escape reality and have fun.
That I dispute.
Although it depends on what your definition of fun is. If for you fun is having sex with companions then playersexuality is of course an advantage.
But when you want to experience intricate and immersive stories then playersexuality is a disadvantage because of the awkwardness and ambiguity it requires.
