take this, Even though I find it nice I see every single damn thing I could have done better and it annoys me to the point of insanity.
Devs, do you ever jerk to your own creations?

Depends on how many times I've playtested that scene. The way I see it, if I'm making an adult scene and it doesn't turn me on, I'm doing it wrong. But the 500th time I skip past that same scene on my way to test something later in the game, yeah it doesn't do anything for me anymore, but whatever the new scene is should...

I believe that getting turned on by your own work is important. The creator of a work is also its first audience. If the work can't elicit emotion from you, what hope is there for it to move someone else?
Reading so many posts here about artists who don't jerk it to their own work explains clearly why so many games here aren't fappable.
How can you express a feeling if you yourself don't feel it?
Making the art for a great scene should work you up into a frenzy. You're pouring emotion into your art so someone else can feel it, too.
If you write a sad scene, reading it should bring you to tears.
If you write a joke, hearing it should make you laugh.
If you make porn art, viewing it should turn you on.
Anything less and your work fails to convey its message

That remind me of back in the days when i was younger, internet wasn't a thing yet and I never owned a television, so I used to make my own entertainment, Mom's a photographer so she liked that I was drawing naked girls xD so i got encouraged and that's how I ended up in art school.

I haven't made a game (yet), but I used to write erotica for a living and... yeah. Honestly, it was kinda frustrating, because as soon as I'd get into a flow state, the image of the scene in my head would get more and more vivid until I couldn't concentrate, which would break the flow state and stop my work. Then I'd be off for an hour or two of personal time before I could even think of doing any more real work.
But I have a hair-trigger libido, so I'm a bit weird in that regard.

Holy shit, not only was Tim Allen actually a coke smuggler, but he also had a bitchin' moustache he never should have dropped.
I don't remember what stupid-ass question this poor dead thread got necro'd for but this is clearly what everyone should be talking about.

For me, it should be a balance. I should be turned on and have an urge to jerk to my own work which means I'm in love with my characters and interested in the story.
But also, I need to control myself... you know, it's hard to work with one hand.
