It's going to vary from player to player. Some people like the chase--the feeling of conquest. Others call that "blue balling." Vaginal penetrative sex is, for many, the big prize that has near universal appeal and giving it away early in the story seems anticlimactic to me.Never understood the hj > bj > tit job > sex "progression". If a girl will give you a BJ, she'll bang you lol. A type of progression that makes sense is going from vanilla sex to kinky sex, I can see that taking some convincing (sex at night in bedroom > sex during day in different rooms > slutty outfit sex > hidden sex > exhibition sex > threesomes > etc . A progression like this makes sense and it doesn't blue ball anyone, I don't understand why more devs don't do something like this or at least ask their patreons
Asking my subscribers about this would yield skewed results because my supporters are already a self-selected group that already likes what I'm doing. It would be more interesting to see general polling data on this.
