I don't usually share shit like this, but I did have this girl once that liked to talk A LOT during sex. She's say shit like, "Tell me whose pussy this is?" "You know this is your pussy." "You can fuck this pussy any time you want."

After the third or fourth time we were together I told her "You gotta stop talking. I cannot focus on my hard-on while you're talking. It distracts the fuck out of me."
It was the last time we had sex, the relationship just didn't survive my honesty.
Dirty talk isn't my forte either. Although I do like it. I find it funny you have to focus on your hard-on during sex. Then gain, I'm mentally twelve.

I mean, it's not like I have to will the thing to work. I'm not concentrating spell on it or anything. But like, how can I focus on my own sensations and pleasure when you're up there running your mouth like a trucker. :D

Imagine you're behind a girl, doing your thing, and a midget rodeo clown comes in holding a dozen balloons and a hot poker with a jizz filled sock hanging from between his teeth. Face it, you're distracted at that point and your hard-on takes a fifteen minute break.

That's kind of what her talking was like to me.

If that girl talking is the same to you as a rodeo clown I can see why it didn't work between you two. It's totally cool, though. Not talking at all would have me get awkward, wonder if I'm doing something wrong. We don't have to make it a philosophical debate or anything.

I'd appreciate a girl to tell me what she wants though at least. Cuz I'm more than happy to help her with that.

Communication about what's working and what isn't is perfectly fine. I'll try a dozen a things till we find the one that works. Just let me know. And if she's got good body language that works too. But just random dirty talk is annoying and disruptive.

So yeah, back on the thread topic.

Too much sex during talking = bad. Or is that too much talking during sex...either way. Hate it!

At the end of the day, I can agree the best sounds she can make with her mouth during sex is moaning.

I don't know about that. I'm not big into dirty talk either BUT probably the most erotic and stimulating thing that has ever happened to me was getting a blowjob, her stop and look up at me and say "I want you to cum in my mouth" and actually followed through! To this day, I've yet to have a better orgasm! So at least for me, there is one phrase that will literally blow my mind!

I'm personally of the opinion that if your woman can put more than two words together while fucking, you're not doing it right. :D

Honestly though, I have a hard time writing sex scenes. Historically, for me, there isn't a lot of talking during sex. There also isn't a lot of internal monologue going through my head. I'm just doing my thing. So trying to create that balance between too much verbiage and too little during a sex scene has been hard to nail down.
you dont need a lot of talking, if the girl is into it, but you do need sex scenes to be descriptive, especially if they are not animated. the complaint about the entire thing is that a lot of people show still images, with the writing of a 12 year old, and just spam a lot of "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I FEEEL DA DICK GOING IN, IT SO GOOD, AHHHHHH FUCK ME HARD xD" and a lot of "the big cock enters pussy and she instantly has a zeisure :D". ultimately, you should be striving for something at least decent. for those who DO take the time to read it. i cant remember what game it was i saw, but one had what looked like a 12 year old and the dev spent like 5 lines talking about how he was a midget and clearly of legal age and creepy, complete will retarded smiley emotes and all.

Yeah but I don't file that under dirty talk, I file that under communication. She was telling what she wanted. That's fine. I'm highly receptive to a woman's requests. If the request is also a turn on, well then that's a bonus!

I really think there is a place for all of the options, if the character is just going to "do their thing" then let the narrator turn it into erotica with a bit of narration, if she's very talkative then make it dirty, just make it reflect the characters involved, if she's shy then put the mental monologue in but please people don't just leave it bland, especially when a dev has some great renders or art then wastes it without the text to support it.

Trope:
Adult consenting characters playing the long seduction game with every character they find.... C'mon, In real life any adult knows if he/she wants to bang the other person in 3 seconds, and social taboos about fucking a person that you barely know are gone with some beers after they decided to take a date.

So... the long seduction game for a well written character? Ok... It needs some work and well writing. For every girl/man you wanna bang? None of it. You can't bang her or she is not interested. That's rape or MC is just a emotional vampire/bully wearing and wearing down the other person until accepts to fuck.

If this logic goes to the extreme it converts itself in the easy throwaway sex trope, and is not what I'm talking about.

What I'm talking about is that your friend from childhood, your neighbour, the shy girl from class, the popular girl from class, your new coworker and your mom, are just 20 chores and 20 conversations away to giving you her pussy. If they didn't give it to you earlier, you ain't gonna have it x'D

Of course this is a trope that doesn't work with blackmail and farfetch landladies-rommies plots, but for the rest of human life, yeah.

PS: And all NSFW games features adult consenting characters... of course x'D

Games where they hide major story points by giving someone (usually the main character) amnesia because they're not good enough writers to find a way to reveal big plot points without it.

I think a lot of writers here view the sex as some reward at the end of a long quest and the seduction some how represents that journey.

I much prefer writing where the sex isn't so much the reward, but just exists along side a good story. Expanding on your excellent point here, the story can be about absolutely anything you want at all. But because sex is such a natural part of the human condition you can fit it into pretty much any tale with the right lead up.

Or if the story is going to be about the sex and the relationship, there are better, more interesting stories to be had in the exploration of the relationship itself rather than this long drawn out romantic trip that leads to the gates of heaven. I think a better story, especially in the incest/taboo genre, is what happens after the sex. Ok, so we've crossed that threshold, how has life just changed. What complications and drama have now arisen that we've take this bizarre leap and how do we deal with the repercussions and ramifications. So many missed opportunities for good story telling.

1. Young, stupid male MC.
2. Peeking and 'step by step' escalation in sexual acts usually starting with a handjob, next week maybe a blowjob.
"Young" is fine. But "Smart" would be a decided improvement. E.g., the MC decides he wants to accomplish X, Y, Z. He does some research, makes a plan, starts executing it. Some of things he tries work well, some don't, as this happens he refines his approach. He also starts to anticipate problems before they happen, so starts planning ahead to deal with them.

My least favorite "meta trope" is the "one size fits all" approach to game development--just throwing in fetishes to try to draw in as many people as possible. Combined with the "don't reinvent the wheel, stick with what works" approach, you wind up with dozens of games in a contemporary urban/suburban family household, or an apartment building full of milfs and their daughters, or a college campus--then a young MC with a big dick, who always has creeper options available to them, must grind away to get with the major female love interests, etc. So every game has voyeurism, groping, sleep sex(i.e., rape), and so forth, even when it really is jarring or makes no sense for a character who purportedly cares about the people in their life and isn't a narcissistic psychopath obsessed with manipulating women into sleeping with him. At this point there almost needs to be a tag: Erotic Megalomania to cover this genre of "MC seeks to sexually dominate every woman in the game world, including all blood relatives". Hey, done well, that could still be an appealing genre. But not every game needs to follow this kitchen sink, cookie cutter approach.

In terms of escalation, yeah, normally there might be a brief period of going slow and holding off from full sex, but it's exactly that, brief. IRL if someone is not a teenager and they're doing that, there's likely some manipulation or counter-manipulation going on(i.e., that person is trying to get something out of the person they are effectively blue balling--money, personal favors, commitment, etc.). In the limited context of incest, yes, some brief period of incremental intimacy might make sense. Otherwise the distance from first kiss to vaginal penetration is likely only a date or two(if that).

That's a good one. I don't really mind, in theory. If the characters are young, and even for a childhood friend or something. If it's a romance story where they have to build up to it for whatever reason. Plus, I like it. Although it happens so often it lost it's charm at some point.

But definitly, when you go around sexing up 27 women, it's straight bullshit you have to go through weeks of fetch quests and busy work. And it's unnatural.

The thing is, one can make a game with "long seduction processes" for a lot of woman, but the process cannot always be the same for all (blank slate -> peeking, discovering you want to fuck her / she discovers you have a huge dong and want to fuck you -> hilarity ensues -> drama -> fuckings).

Example of variety in the same game:
1. You are already fucking a girl. You break up, and the long process if to recover her.
2. As now you are single, You have the standard long seduction game with a girl or two you want to fuck.
3. It seems your childhood friend has always been in love with you! You're single, she's trying to help you out and hate that bitch. Its a long seduction game, from her to you. You are reluctant because you don't see her that way, so it will take a time until you take the bait.
4. You easily fuck the school's bitch in a drunk party, that was easy sex? no. She's gonna give to you all kind of problems, only fuck when she pleases, and the long seduction game is to make her less bitchy and a bit more submissive to your desires.
5. etc. its not hard to bring original ideas.

So you get the long seduction game with a lot of girls like many devs want to do, but with variety, feeling realistic, and having some sexs on the starts and mids of the plot of each girl, only leaving it to the end to the main romances.

PS: my game ideas are free. xD

IRL, there are:
1. One night stands and casual hookups
2. First date/second date sex
3. Sex on 3rd or 4th date
4. Relatively long courtships lasting weeks or months(or years, but that's not game-practical)
5. Illicit affairs and/or taboo relationships(Teacher-student, e.g.) which develop quickly or over a longer term

I'd expect the "long seduction" scenario to involve any of 3-5. There should be a reason why it takes longer than average. Nowadays I think, for someone determined to date/have sex with someone else, most scenarios which are successful lead to sex within 2 months or less from the date of first meeting. I'd expect #4 to involve someone with relatively conservative attitudes about the transition to a sexual relationship. #5 could take a while because you are trying to seduce someone into doing something taboo and quite likely risky for them(cheating on a partner/sleeping with a student/committing incest).

The degree of mutual attraction is a big factor in how long a seduction should take. If someone's not that into you, it could take much longer than if they have the hots for you.
Of course, in scenarios where realism is tossed to the wind--mind control or "induced corruption", for example--the concept of a long seduction seems pretty silly. Nothing should really take longer than a few weeks, at most, even if you are striving to make the corruption/control seem as "natural" as possible.

There's a few tropes I don't like but I haven't seen them in games though. Here's two I have found in games.

1) Mind Control
2) Forced rape.
3) Speaking to the person (typically woman) like they're shit and beating them.

Agreed, those forced rape/abuse games I also avoid like the plague. I think they're pretty rare, but that also might be because I just flat out don't play them.

Mind control is popular because it's an easy game mechanic to make your game a game (I'm also guilty of this). It's hard to write out a long story where a relationship forms (especially a unique sexual dynamic relationship). It's much easier to have a magic potion/gemstone/jazz hands that slowly turn your cousin from a fully functional human being to a wretch that survives off your dick power.

I'm with you. I think games should just have casual sex in them if they're going to have casual sex. Even if it's that bizzaro porno-world where everyone from the mail-lady to your birth parents want to fuck you, that's still more natural than people exchanging sex for menial tasks.
