Even then, there are chances to avoid some things. Most of the therapist's tasks can be ignored and failed, and you get a penalty. You've ignored her orders. And there are some fun consequences and rewards for success and failure. Even alternate text for partial success early on. You can ignore your girlfriend, your mom, the bully.
That's not quite what I mean. I'm really fine with all the stuff
after the introduction, cause then you've got the censored sight and corruption to justify the mc's actions, to justify his inability to resist; my main gripes are that you have no choice other than to do the weird pervert stuff in front of others that is required to get to the point that you get to the therapist's office. Namely, you can decline jerking off to your mom... but your character still stands there rock hard for her to witness. You can refuse to peep in the girl's locker room, and just head to the gym teacher's office... but you still have to choose to jerk off to her dirty clothes, with the choice only being down to whether you jerk off to her panties or shoes. You ultimately
have to be a pervert in front of the women, you can't choose otherwise. That's the part I hate, that he's such a bonehead just because he's a little bit pent up.
I'd prefer it if, in the intro, the mc tries to jerk it before school, opening up some porn to do so, but he runs out of time. Still pent up from the night before, as well as his interrupted jerk off in the morning, the mc struggles to resist temptation, in gameplay, maybe you could have all the dialogue options to resist like, flashing or something, and so you have to look closely and really want to resist to actually be able to. However, much to the mc's dismay, even if he does well to resist the temptation of jerking off in all these bad places to jerk off, he accidentally left the porn open on his PC at home, and his mom found it, and she's so shocked by seeing it, she goes searching through the mc's search history, and there's so much porn that she decides it's a bit of a problem. She calls up the school, talks to the therapist, and from there, the regular therapist interaction plays out mostly the same.
Or, since that scenario lacks in the mc getting found out by the
entire school, have it be the same as you've made it, all the way up to the gym teacher's office. The mc, so pent up and frustrated by that point, simply must jerk off right there to her shoes or panties, the current option that I don't particularly like,
or he decides to grab one of the items and stash it under his shirt where it can't be seen, and hurry off to the bathroom, passing the gym teacher and the cheerleaders as they head into her office, racing down the hall and right into it. What he doesn't realize, though, is that the bathroom doesn't have any urinals... He was so impatient and horny that he didn't properly check which bathroom he was going into, and he ends up going into the girl's bathroom. Now, it's completely empty when he walks in; while he's in the stall jerking off feverishly with the gym teacher's stuff, a girl then walks right in on him doing it, cause he completely forgot about locking the door. She screams and runs out, and the mc hurriedly pulls his pants up and tries to escape. However, the gym teacher thought it was suspicious how he quickly ran by her, and so she casually followed him, not expecting much; she rounds the corner of the hall, only to find you sheepishly skittering out of the girl's restroom, and the mc, in his horny panic, completely forgets to hide the item he took from the gym teacher to jerk off with. And so, she drags you off to the principal's office, and the scene progresses to the therapist session as normal, with the mc being exposed in front of the gym teacher, the girl who walked in on him, and even the cheerleaders, cause they decided to follow the teacher, and anybody else in the hall at the time. You could even have the mc be
so panicked that he forgets to pull his pants up before running out, meaning he literally gets caught with his pants down in front of everyone.
Now, the second scenario doesn't change much, but I think it's much more appealing for a few reasons. Firstly, it gives us a chance of refusing to do the stupidest thing possible, which is openly jerk off in an unsecure office, which I doubt I would do even at my horniest, with all my logical faculties failing. It makes sense for the mc, as he's been characterized, to do it, but I just hate going through with it as a player, as everything in me is screaming at him to just go to the men's room and jerk off real quick. However, I can totally buy that, even with me making that more logical decision, the mc would bungle it up and make such a critical mistake due to his lust and, frankly, stupidity. Secondly, I feel it adds further to the humiliation that, even when trying his best to keep it in, he ultimately failed, and the longer he resisted failing, the worse he made it for himself. He could've just peeped at the girls, and gotten away with just the gym teacher knowing he did something so perverted. He could've jerked it in her office, and it would just be the gym teacher and the cheerleaders that were with her. But no, the mc resisted pointlessly, and now his tiny cock has just been exposed in front of a hall half full of people.
That's what I mean when I criticize the lack of player choice. I don't mind if the conclusion is the same, and there's only an illusion of choice, nor am I talking about the optional content like the findom with the bully's girlfriend; what I specifically dislike is that, outside of my control, the
mc makes stupid decisions. I wish that
I could make the logically sound decisions, but the
mc fails to achieve my intended goal due to
his lust. I can then enjoy the fact that I made a good decision, but the mc bungled it cause he's an idiot I wanna see fail and fall victim to the sexual mishaps; instead of being annoyed that I'm in the passenger seat of a massive idiot who I just get annoyed with. Of course, maybe it's just a me thing, so don't bother yourself on it too much, but I prefer the idea of making logical choices, but the plans you think up ultimately fail due to your lust blinding you. The bully's girlfriend coerces you out of the initial tribute by pretending like it's going to her boyfriend, the first time you talk to her after the introduction, and you decide to confront her the next day. Even if you, say, click an option to try to confront her, you end up barely able to stammer out anything, maybe just an uncertain "Hey!", but without any force or aggression behind it, and she ends up ignoring you, wordlessly offering the seat, which completely kills the mc's resolve to get his money back. Logically, if it were me, I'd not pay her in the first place, but the mc is weak-willed, so he paid her then. Then, the next day, logically, I'd confront her if I somehow got to the point of paying her, but the mc is weak-willed, so her just giving him the chance to speak with her wilts away his resolve, and he sits down, and then she gets him to send over all of his hard-earned gems, cause he's weak-willed.
tl;dr: I'm fine with the mc failing due to his lust blinding him and destroying his rational thinking, but I wish I could at least point him to the obviously best choice, and then he simply fails because he's a horny idiot. I tell him to go to the bathroom and jerk off; he ends up panicking, rushing into the wrong bathroom, and then gets discovered in that incredibly incriminating situation. I tell him to stand up for himself; he fails to muster up the will, and ends up submitting anyway.
