I'm not sure how many she's been with, but there's a quote from her in (I think) Gen X where she's facing off with Iceman and he restrains her with ice on her hands and feet, and she says something along the lines of, 'Is that all? I used to pay good money--" So, Emma used to be ubber kinky. Then again, corset, thigh high boots, fur cape, c'mon, she was a bloody dominatrix.
Now, does she deserve it? Don't get me wrong, I love the character, I RP Emma in a few RPGs. Emma is a character who has a rich history and complex persona, but is dressed provocatively on a more than regular basis. I think it's more an issue of the way Marvel--comics, in general--treat their female characters. Why must Emma have barely enough material to cover her nipples? It sends a bad message to both male and female readers. I'm not sure how many female readers comic books have, I know it must be substantial. But females, especially pre-teen to mid-20s, have enough self-image problems as it is and don't need some anorexic stick figure with huge boobs to further distort their views of beauty (Yes, she must work out a lot, but that in itself is a psychological disorder, plus when have you EVER seen Emma grungy and sweaty and lifting weights?). Males, this is a patriarchal society, don't deny it. Women are still paid substantially less then men for the exact same job, amount of work, education, and skill level. Now, here we have little Ms. CEO who wears barely enough clothes to constitute as being dressed. What does that tell you? High ranking/paying job+provocative clothes= Oh mama, she is LOOSE! That is an insult to all working women who climb the cooperate ladder. It's demeaning to women in general. Does she deserve it, I think so, only because of the message her character's portrayal conveys. Is she really little miss sex kitten, I don't know. But the way they portray her, yes, she is.
