Can we have a serious discussion about eroges who punish you for having sex?

Like damn, what do you want from me? this is a hentai game i will treat it as such ,do you want to teach me as lesson on self control? I'm sorry, i don't have that.

Like this extends beyond hrpgs with corruption systems, visual novels have a habit of making you feel bad for dirtying their female protagonists, even worst hiding their best and truest ending behind staying a virgin the entire game just infuriates me.

ummmmm.... feeling bad about rape and abuse should make you feel kind of proud... i mean... it shows you havn't lost your soul.
But thats my humble opinion ;)

Yeah that kind of sex negative attitude is annoying. I definitely prefer games with good lewd ends.

Indeed so happy I got married before doing all those prostitutes!
Sin free good times, my wife loves it(not joking), so blessed(joking, not religious)!
The gates of Heaven are open for you, rejoice and pray for our lord, amen.

We may have differences of opinion on lords and heaven, getting sucked off by three girls in Babydolls agogo Pattaya while fingering my wife under her skirt on the bench seats in front of about 40 guys who didn't have a falang(foreigner partner) seemed like Heaven at the time! Did cost about 4000 Thb(120 USD) all up for the night though including many drinks.
That was 2010 so I guess it was money well spent seeing I remember it like yesterday.

If you aren't into abusive maledom, sexual assault or outright rape then most games (and pornos) feel like a punishment tbh. Way too much degrading trashtalk, slapping, groping and general disregard from the men and constant "no", "stop", "it hurts" or crying from the women. Even lovey-dovey doujin stories usually feature the torn hymen trope unless it's MILFxShota or something.

And female protagonist games mostly seem to fall under "you will be a complete slut/bimbo, you will be punished for it even if the game forced it on you, and you will enjoy all of that or else".

yeah i always wondered why people disliked eroges with female protagonists, on one hand i don't like hrpgs with male protagonist because i need to have some sort of attachment to the character being fucked (i know i'm lame lol) or else it's not really different then browsing images on gelbooru, on the other hand games with female protagonists tend to punish you for having any attachment to the mc

Well .. I think in many ways context does matter. I've played a lot of good games that don't make me feel like a total dick. But I'll admit that there are a lot of games that follow these paths as well. In the end. I don't think it's a massive problem.

it's a fetish. a lot of people feel a little shame heightens the pleasure of doing nasty forbidden things. if there's no shame it isn't really forbidden nor nasty.

not sure what to suggest. maybe try looking for tags 'vanilla' with 'romance'?

I usually playing h-game as regular game and try to avoid h-related stuff (unless if it's forced) for the first time, so this isn't really troubling at the beginning.

I think it depends of the what the creator envision the game will be. Some punish you by giving penalty to your stats, some even lock the good ending as well, some do nothing aside from spicing up the CG and some actually benefit from it (like taking less damage from h-related stuff).

Personally, I like corruption stuff but you should have an option somewhere to at least get it back to the original value.

I'm curious to know if you see this only in Japanese games or also in wester games made by "amateurs" like most of us over here.

I didn't get that impression from when I still had time to play games, but I rarely played easter games. I agree with you, it's silly to punish players for having sex in adult games.

At the same time, it can be hot to have sex with someone you shouldn't in-game (incest is the classical example taboo, but there are more) and having the characters feel bad for doing it, but keep doing it nonetheless because they can't help it. It ties well with corruption mechanisms. But it should be the character feeling bad, not the player. We should think it's hot and want more of it.

I find it annoying when people try to overanalyze what fetishes you watch fictional porn of to make moral judgements about how you're a bad person or whatever. I find it especially dumb when the overanalyzing is being done by the porn itself which has had porn scenes which played the fetish completely straight.

on the other end of the spectrum i don't really play western games that often, but that wasn't what i was talking about, there's a game called let's just say called VH that's extremely banned here for good reason, well i got curious and played it. While playing the game i thought that the rape scenes would be like normal eroges, kinda comedic and both characters enjoying it, and some where like this and others where unnecessarly brutal, with characters bruised, crying ending up pregnant and with sanity debuffs, having the characters wake up crying was the cherry on top of the awful cake. Like damn, what is this? i didnt come here for this i didn't want this, i'm just collecting cgs.

edit: like someone said here, it's hard to enjoy a lot of japanese eroges if you don't have a straight up rape fetish.
