I'm afraid I must disagree with you here.
Your first two examples don't really seem applicable at all. If NTR is a central part of your story or an integral part of the gameplay then an option to turn it off makes no sense anyway. You'd just end up with half a game and non-NTR players would be better off not even bothering and just playing something else that isn't built around a fetish they hate.
As for reasonable consequences, we're talking about porn games here. Very few of them are even remotely reasonable and they don't need to be. If they were aimed at realism 99.9% of MCs would never get laid. I very much disagree with your assessment that adult games need to be logical to work as intended.
I'm also not sure if I believe you when you say that you get that some people just absolutely hate NTR. What makes a story interesting for you may completely ruin it for someone else.
Frankly, I don't want to trial and error my way through a game to avoid a fetish that I'm not comfortable with, be it NTR or anything else. Especially in a genre where most titles aren't exactly professional products and many devs have only a limited grasp of the players' language. I'm looking for arousal, not punishment.
I think it's much more reasonable to allow players to avoid content they hate than to try and force your personal definition of what makes a game enjoyable on them.
I would like to say that I don't get why you put stuff I don't say as if I do, I would appreciate that you don't try to put the extreme point and say it is what I mean. You can take this post as an expansion of what I mean but I would recommend you read it to the end before you start answering because it's important that you get my point at least.
Why do I say that?, I will go bit by bit:
-First you answer about my first two examples, I exactly say that it wouldn't make sense in those two examples and you say "then an option to turn it off makes no sense anyway" what you did is agree with me but put it as if I said otherwise.
Exactly what should I say there?. Overall I could comment that related of if "non-NTR players would play it" it depends on your level of tolerance, something that you did is suppose that all non-NTR players have the same level of tolerance which to be fair isn't right. There are many that can stomach just one scene that serves as initial motivation.
-"As for reasonable consequences, we're talking about porn games here. Very few of them are even remotely reasonable and they don't need to be.

I don't get who you are answering here, but it isn't me, let me repeat myself "something that needs to be taken into account is that choices have consequences", all I mean is that if you take stupid choices you shouldn't be surprised about the result, perhaps an example would be more useful; imagine that a killer has been detected around your house and you get recommended to not go out at night, you as a normal person ignore that information and end up meeting the killer, then you have two choices, fight or run, if you choose to fight you are gonna die. It is a logical result to your bad choices and in fact even if you run there is a chance that you get caught, but you can be safe if as prior choices you know the zone well enough to escape or are good at running.
This is what i mean as reasonable consequences, but this example applied to the simplistic choices we get would even ask us if we choose to die or survive, which is what I critic.
-"I'm also not sure if I believe you when you say that you get that some people just absolutely hate NTR. What makes a story interesting for you may completely ruin it for someone else.

Yeah you make it clear on what you want, you play games for arousal and that's fine, but I play them for gameplay and I enjoy challenges, we seek different stuff and on that point it's perfectly fine.
But the part that i don't get is... okay you play a game that has avoidable NTR and you don't want to do "trial and error" or use logic to evade it. I would say that it is possible that the game isn't made for you and I get what you mean, what you are talking about is when a game makes a NTR route and a harem route for example, I have to be direct here and say that this is plainly bad, overall be it the NTR or the harem route don't add anything at all for the other group of players. It is kind of like making 2 games at once, if it isn't integrated into the gameplay just stick with one of them. There are 3 points of view, harem is a plus, NTR is a plus or the challenge is a plus. If you only seek content and dislike the challenge then you should stick to harem games.
-"I think it's much more reasonable to allow players to avoid content they hate than to try and force your personal definition of what makes a game enjoyable on them."
And to end I found this too much, you see I don't force my personal definition of what makes a game enjoyable, but I have to critic your views, you literally play games with avoidable NTR but you don't want to have to avoid it because that isn't what you seek, the answer would be to just play harem games I would say, in fact the whole point of adding avoidable NTR should be to fight it off, if you don't want that type of gameplay then just play a game that only has what you want, which can be a harem story or a NTR story (if you like NTR), in fact the only reason you play them is that they are so separated that you are feeling like you play a harem game.
Be fair about it, for you it would be better that said game didn't have any NTR content and focus more on adding harem content and that's fine, but what I mean is just that, you can do a harem game or a NTR game but if you try to make a harem game with avoidable NTR the point isn't to make 2 routes but to have a game about making a harem while fighting off the chance of NTR.
Hope it's easy to understand what I mean.
