Thus far I've been assuming no sex moves for Necrology. I believe that in Wraith, a ghost's corpus was enough like a real living body to other ghost's that sex was theoretically possible and maybe even common, but regardless, sex doesn't seem like a major part of this game, and therefore sex moves would be pointless. Right?
If that's right... should I replace the sex moves with something else? I'm open to suggestions!

When a mortal falls in love with you, love move.
The ghost-y genre is all about ghosties reaching beyond the veil and touching a mortal's heart, and having that mortal truly hear them, and fall in love with the past and the potential over the material world.
Yeah?

I think your ideas about Monsterhearts may be influencing your input here, Joe. :) I can definitely see love as being a part of this, but I don't think it's necessarily central.

I don't have any concrete suggestions on the how of it just now, but that sounds like a *perfect* hole for chains/fetters/links/whatevers to fill.
Something like "when you strengthen you tie to your link. . ." or something maybe? Unfortunately, that's a lot more ambiguous than "when you have sex"
Also, careful, you never know what sort of attention the title of this thread might attract ;)

At the moment I'm thinking it might be "when you send and honest message to a living person and that message is accepted and understood," but that's kind of long. :)

When you are genuinely heard by someone living and breathing...

Maybe "when a living person is genuinely moved by your plight"? Or did you want the focus to be on for reals, direct communication?

I think Joe's wording might work for me.
To me, one of the keys to the "sex moves" is that it's a two-way thing. In AW proper, the way I interpret it anyway, sex moves kick in when two (or, I suppose, potentially more) people have consensual sex with each other. I wouldn't have them kick in in the case of rape, for example.
So, based on this interpretation, I'm currently figuring that I want any "replacement" of sex moves to similarly be a mutual thing. Thus my idea of genuine communication that is accepted. I, as a ghost, can off some kind of honest message to someone still living, but I can't MAKE the person accept that message.

I really like your insight into the mutuality of sex moves and wanting to keep that vibe. Awesome!
