The partial quotation they use to answer is completely out of context.
It doesn't matter what Sophia wants to give up or not. Usually the blackmailer determines the rules and thus the outcome.
L&P can tell the story in such a way that all the tasks have no influence on the life that Sophia has led so far. With Aiden's help she can fuck her way through the whole school and is still voted the best teacher and mother of all time because after the twelfth task everyone suddenly falls into amnesia. Many of the participants in this discussion are more interested in the tasks than in how it affects the story or what the end result will be. That is understandable because this is a porn story and showing sex scenes is the most important element and they can't be dirty enough. But for me all the tension is just lost. If the logic and the emotional comprehension is lost, the sex scenes no longer make up for it. For me that means an Aiden blackmail with all its consequences, the total social crash of Sophia, would be better told for me than any bustle in between. The player makes the decision, then he should also come to terms with the consequences in the game. This applies to the Dylan, Elli, Alyssa, Zac routes as well. But that's not how most of them present it or they don't care. Because all the talk about Sophia starting to enjoy blackmail is exactly that - repression and indifference - it's just a game. And I will unreservedly agree with this statement.
