What I didn't understand, playing the "bi route":

...that Steph can still be an "Abnormal Virgin."

I think, it's the pressure of the community to let the Dev leave his road.
Or it's some kind of "it's up to the player" to follow the idea or to play, as he/she wants.
I really would like to hear from the Dev, what he is thinking about this "issue"...

I very much enjoy this story as a whole. Steph's discovery of her sexuality, the characters, their relationships, circumstances, interactions and, of course, the sexy content. But the "Abnormal Virgin" thing is weighing it down a bit.

+1

surprised how much people care about the virgin stuff, its just one conversation with her brother that doesnt feel important to me, he was basicly just saying shes hot yet still a virgin.

Could it be that virginity today is a state of mind in which you are spiritually connected to the universe? No fucking idea HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I simply saw that I had the opportunity for Steph to have her first vaginal penetration with her BFF Reina and I took advantage of it; I personally would have preferred her to use a strap-on in a nice hotel with a bathtub, but I don't know if I'll have another chance with Reina before other vultures come and take Steph's V card away (backup savages). I have to watch how their relationship develops.

Anyway, as long as Steph is happy, it shouldn't matter whether she's abnormal or not.

I mean, yeah, it's sort of left up to the player? I didn't think it necessary to explicitly define what a virgin is in the game, it's really not the point. While different characters may have different perspectives, I do think Steph's stance on it is obvious.

Ultimately, I leave it up to the player what kind of emphasis they want to place on the whole "virgin" thing. It's a minor theme, but I get that it can seem weird or inconsistent - my bad as the writer. I do want to go back through the dialog, clean things up, change some stuff around, and rewrite certain sections once the story's complete. I still consider this a first draft, after all. I do appreciate all the comments and concerns, though! They're immensely helpful to give me an idea on what to improve upon. Thanks again!

And here I was thinking 'abnormal' meant we will have some 'abnormal' content in the game.
Not your regular old man, hot childhood friend, young dork, but 2 old mans, 2 hot childhood 'friends' and 3 young dorks.

Woops! Got it. Thanks! I kinda rushed it out and didn't spend as much time playtesting as I normally would. Stupid error easily fixed next update. If you ignore it it'll proceed as normal, didn't miss anything.

Felt the same. Better to give V card to someone she loves and trusts so she can now "dive in" without regrets.

It's not about the "virgin" state... ist's about the "mystery", which was developed by her brother and Sadie.
Some "magical power" which influences all aroud an "abnormal virgin"... but if you cut this out - and "vaginal (deep) penetration" means loosing virginity , what's with this part of your story about? Just a joke? Okay, that's some kind of disappointing.

What would remain: Strong FMC who knows what she's doing become "corrupted" by others around her.
Don't misunderstand me, I love such storys but it's nothing "new", but the "abnormal" thing was.
So you state, she doesn't think, she's a virgin anymore... but does it matter, what she's thinking?

Anyway, keep up your really good work and do, whatever you want to to.

And many, maaaany, maaaaaaaany thanks for your effort to clear things up to me and others!
That is really "abnormal" (not normal ;-) for sure - and “poor writing” is the biggest understatement I have heard in your case – nothing could be further from reality.
