That is absolutely true, it is the part that says ''making sure I was a virgin as little as possible'' that solidifies what kind of debauchery it was.
Just because they had the experience Professor Historian said, doesn't mean they can't be romantic. It's quite common for people to experiment things when they first time get freedom of adulthood, now days that is during university for most and leads people trying different things like drugs, having casual sex etc... It's all part of the growing up process we all go through, and yes it varies from person to person. But for MC who is from upperclass, is richer than most people and have friends that are of the same background, there's the added element of "it's what you're supposed to do" pressure from his peers. They might have very well done it and thought to themselves that i've now done it, so it's now time to focus on more serious romantic relationship.

Personally i think the line fits the story and setting, since rich nobles were famous for living such lifestyles during those times. It also makes the personality of the protagonist be something that is growing up potentially during the story, due to the realization that it's time to cut back playing around and take care of your responsibilities.

That is also true. What I am saying is, for me personally as someone who is a sucker for sweet romance, the same way that a girl who has had a very promiscuous past is not attractive as a romantic partner, the same way an MC who has had a very promiscuous past is not attractive to be played as a romantic partner. I am not opposed to playing him as a fuckboy, I like to replay games and make different choices, and he fits that well, but I can't pair him with his childhood friend for example as his promiscuous past makes him a bad partner for her in my eyes, she deserves someone without a promiscuous past.
Ahhhh I get it, you mean that your love story with say, Sally, is kind of tainted by the fact that the MC was a hoe before the game. I get that perfectly, but like Dark Silence said, I was aiming for some historical accuracy. Imagine; you are 19, in a foreign country, with no one to tell you what to do, you have money, power, a hereditary title, no job, Napoleon is threatening all of Europe, and you have no knowledge of sexual diseases.

You are justifying the current background. It does not need to be defended, I never said that it is not logical or sound. You are arguing against a point that I never made.

I agree. Changing it or removing it, changes the MC's entire backstory. I think it defines who the MC was and sets the story to how his life may change later.

Man, if I read about how a game is pure potential next to a five-star rating just one more fucking time, I might puke. That shit means absolutely NOTHING!
Rate what is fucking there, so that people can have an actual idea what to expect.
It's so abysmally idiotic.

You got it absolutely correctly.

I get that perfectly, but like Dark Silence said, I was aiming for some historical accuracy. Imagine; you are 19, in a foreign country, with no one to tell you what to do, you have money, power, a hereditary title, no job, Napoleon is threatening all of Europe, and you have no knowledge of sexual diseases.
Like I previously replied, your background is absolutely historically accurate, it does not need a justification, there is nothing wrong with your ideas.

What I suggested was - either make one single slide for the player to choose whether they were a hoe or not OR remove a single line of text from said slide in order to make it more ambiguous and for the player to decide what debauchery means. In doing so you expand the game to players who are looking for similar things as I am. Nothing else needs to be changed about he game, so far through out the whole game I have not read anymore lines referring to MC's promiscuous past. Unless somewhere down the line you want to include dialogue that talks more in-depth about it, one slide is all we are talking about.

Once again, whether you want to do that or not is up to you, your game is still good and can be enjoyed in other different ways.

Well, maybe some of us think that up to this point, it deserves a 5 star. Which means it can go either way later. I personally won't rate this game right now. But in my honest opinion, the storytelling is good, renders are great and once we get further into the game, I'll officially rate it.

What does this have to do with being a hoe and romantic Einstein?
Because biological processes happen in the brain when you have sex which have an influence on how you feel about other people. Same as producing saliva is a biological process, and has nothing to do with the individual.

That isn't biology, that is psychology if you talking about feelings. You can get an erection without having feelings for someone, that's why you look at porn.

Psychology is based on biology, on the processes that happen in the brain, the work of hormones and neurotransmitters. You have anxiety it can be due to activities that cause stress or it can be an illness, psychiatrist can prescribe you pills to help you cope with that, through altering the chemistry of your brain. Similarly sexual activities also cause certain biological processes to happen in the brain, those processes have an impact on how one feels about their partner, those feelings have an impact on how ''romantic'' you are.
