Gotta confess—the reason it takes me so long to try the variant routes is because I keep trying to make them monogamous.
Because that’s who I am. I didn’t fuck around in high school and college; I was monogamous. Still am. If I date two women at once, I refuse to do more than kiss them until I choose one or the other. Didn’t matter if the ladies say they’re okay with it; in my experience no they’re really not. They’ll put on a happy face, but in private go weep like Jill did when she noticed three different girls immediately identified Tremolo’s dick in Tybalt’s presentation.
My first time through the game, I let Trey fuck everyone. Felt wrong to swipe twenties off Maya’s corkboard and spend them at Quinn’s “restaurant” (and not the fun kind of wrong) but it’s a game; I’m just exploring the game. Also felt wrong for him to fuck Sage while pursuing Josy and Maya, or mouth-fuck Bella while pursuing Jill, or fuck Quinn even though the only way you get to fuck Quinn is by fucking around. Jill’s particuarly problematic because she’s saving herself for the right guy, whereas Trey’s merrily thrusting his cock into every available wet hole, including her best friend’s. But again, exploring the game.
But that done, now that I know most of the available options, I tried the different paths monogamously. Or bigamously (in the literal sense of that word) with Josy and Maya. No fucking Sage or Quinn on the side. No lap dances. No visiting Bella in the library—unless Bella’s the goal. Keeping the Jill date totally platonic—unless Jill’s the goal.
(Which meant, on the Jill route, nobody recognized Tremolo’s dick in the presentation. They just knew it wasn’t Tybalt’s. No spray-tan, you know. Still funny, but didn’t make me laugh as hard as when half the room immediately ID’d it.)
I suspect most of us just say “Fuck it, it’s only a game,” and let Trey fuck around. But I don’t enjoy that. So, does anybody else tend to let their hard-wired monogamous impulses make ’em play the game the way I do?
