Games isn't a good media format for porn

I've never been a fan of porn games and I want to understand why people enjoy it.

I've come to think about this with the artist Animopron's game currectly in WIP.
He is developing a third person action game kind of like Tomb Raider. With this example in mind, I don't understand how can porn and games work well together.
While playing porn games do you hold your d*ck/p*ssy in one hand and your keyboard or mouse in the other ?
The goal of porn is to jerk off so how are you supposed to do it whilst playing a game ?
I understand that there will be cutscene with only porn and no action required but then why bothering making a game if the best part is the movie part ?

The only argument I can think of to counter my point is : 'Playing the character in between cuscence could create better immersion'
So I guess the playing part has to be separated from the cuscenes part. For me switching between these two parts would break the immersion.
It's like trying to merge two medias in one it doesn't stick together.

I can understand VR "games" porn has long as it is close to a first person film. You benefit from a better immersion with VR and upgrades from a classic video.
Which complete my point that only films/book/images --> Media that don't require actions are great for porn.

I think video games are working well only thanks to cutscenes part. Otherwise how would you imagine a porn game that is action only ?

One-handed edging can be great. Or just fapping to specific scenes when they happen. If it's a VN or anything that can be played just with a mouse, there you have it, although you'll need to use your non-dominant hand. For games that need two hands, you just play them normally and go to town when a scene happens.

Action games can be fap-friendly too, but most of those Japanese ones are made by hacks. When the MC is being violated after being knocked down, it can and should be a looping animation that just goes on until the player presses a key to continue. Instead most of them make you do a button-mashing QTE with Game Over if you fail; some have real-time gameplay *during* the sex (stuff like LonaRPG) which also defeats the purpose. I don't know what they're doing over there in the Far East, but it doesn't seem like they're fapping to the games.

So why are you here, my man? JS!

Why do people insist on complaining about dogshit and step in it. Roll around in it then complain even more about it when the stinky results of their behavior were all self-inflicted. Same thing.

Fuck, my wife and I did it wrong all those time were we used porn to set the mood before we fuck like crazy rabbits.

Have you questioned yourself to be sure that it's games that have it wrong, and not you who choose the wrong media to fap ?

If I want to fap, there's tons of movies and comics out there dedicated to this, and sometime it's what I do after playing. But not while playing, because it's not what I search, nor why I started playing. Of course, the arousal is part of the reason why I play, but it's not because you're aroused that you necessarily need to beat the meat like a caveman.
When people play lewd/porn modded Elder Scrolls or Fallout games, it's not to have their dick out of their pant all the time. It's more for the mixed experience and, as I said, the arousal. It surely happen that time to time they are fapping, but it's a consequence of them playing, not the reason why they decided to play.


It's like trying to merge two medias in one it doesn't stick together.
It seem to works pretty well seen the numbers of lewd/porn mods for the said Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, and the attempt for other games based on less flexible engines.


Which complete my point that only films/book/images --> Media that don't require actions are great for porn.

You wrote, in many different way, that porn games aren't designed to fap, while hinting that it's the sole reason you play them... Be logical five seconds and stop systematically picking the wrong media for the task you want to achieve.


Otherwise how would you imagine a porn game that is action only ?
I guess that a really big number of persons can imagine them without too much problem, else there wouldn't be more than 13,000 games available just here. Not only because there wouldn't be this much people making them, but also because they would have near to no public.

This.

I guess most of us are more easily immersed in porn games than porn videos. Therefore, it's easier to get aroused with porn games, even if the cumming part is sometimes outside of the scope of playing a porn game.

While I think this is bait, and at any rate one of those "you either get it from the get-go or you won't catch it at all" type deals, I agree that you have the wrong premise. If you only see porn games as a medium to fap to, then go watch a porn video. It will be endlessly 'easier', less convoluted and less time consuming.

Most people enjoy the arousal and build-up of games, the deeper immersion and psychological connection with the characters, world and story, or simply the gameplay itself in some cases! I should know, I did some challenge runs in Ayura Crisis as the game is legitimately polished and fun enough to allow it.

Interactivity increases immersion. Immersion makes the story more impactful. Intellectual and emotional investment makes the orgasm better. Also, getting older makes it harder to just fap to random titty drops. Sure when I was 13 I could bust one out just by seeing nipple if I really wanted to. But there were still ways to get better orgasms, and now that I'm older it takes a little more work.

Personally, I don't really masturbate to games. I may have done so like 3 times in the last year or so, and this number was likely greater when I first started playing adult games, but ultimately I disagree. Adult games aren't a good source for masturbation reasons, but are a great source adult content.

Adult gaming is the only medium in which specific stories are able to exist in the way they do. Most porn will have some sort of story to set the mood, but ultimately that story is unimportant. Adult games are the only medium in which you can tell a more complicated story alongside heavy adult content.

The only rival would be erotica. But that medium has problems of its own that adult games don't have yet. I decided not to make this post too long by explaining this, but I'll just sum it up: Barrier of entry, culture, fan fiction.

Who needs to use their own hand to play with their dick?

Some games have one-handed controls. Some games reduce to one-handed controls during sex scenes. Unfortunately, some games straight-up don't have gameplay.

In an ideal world, you'd have a USB fleshlight controlled with either the keyboard or mouse.

Because you have weirdos like me that can just enjoy a horny game so long as it's fun/has a good story without feeling the need to fap whenever there's so much as a titty on screen.

Sex is a really good literary tool when used correctly.

I've also played sex heavy games that require two hands to play that are just plain fun.

A lot of these games also tend to require some sort of prompt to continue past those scenes or have mechanics that can be played with one hand allowing one to finish doing what they're doing at their own pace, as it were, or have a gallery built in to allow you to revisit a scene, which is especially true to Visual Novels.

I am too lazy to check if someone already said this, but Adult games do not exist solely for the purpose of fapping.
Perhaps "Porn games" do, even then they could be used for edging or other stuff people enjoy doing.

Adult Games are fun to make, and possibly play, because I found "fading to black" always really cheap. Adult games in that sense feel more complete to me.

Thank you for your responses, I've read them all. I get now that porn games can be played just for arousal or fun purposes. I was just not getting the idea. By creating this post, my intention wasn't to change my preferences, I know I'm not into adult games, It was just simple question in my mind.


And for people asking why I'm on this site even if I don't seem to enjoy adult games, like :

Cool story bro... you can delete your account yourself then... :KEK:
So why are you here, my man? JS!

This sites also offers an Adult comics & Animation section. You don't have to be rude :confused:

Thanks anyway !

Since now I know you were being serious and you are simply an animation enjoyer, then I'll say why I stopped wasting time with pure porn comics/animations over a decade ago.

Buildup.

How often have you watched a video where you barely know who the character suddenly being fucked even is? What if I told you that if you got to know more about that character before jumping straight to the sexual content you would enjoy that video A LOT more?

This emotional connection enhances the payback of sex even virtually, regardless of how much worse the animation in a game might be compared with the the work of full time animators, if you have no buildup for that high quality animation/image then it is nothing more than eye candy.

And that's why games unlike your title implies games are a great media for porn, the sexual content benefits greatly from all the buildup offerend by the actual game, while the game itself can become a lot more engaging if you add sexual content as a reward on top of it.
It is a symbiotic relationship where one boosts the shortcomings of the other.

We can say whatever we want about how thin plots were in old porn movies, and how cheap the acting was, it served this purpose. It introduced the characters, explained why they were here together, and gave them a reason to fuck. And it's something that tend to be missing nowadays.

And it do it way more than with the said old porn movies, because you can take all the time you want for this build up. Even games that are pure fuck feast tend to provide a pretense and make the character meet each others.

I find sex without connection boring. Guess I'm more like the stereotypical woman in that sense, even though I'm a dude. Just the physical mechanics of sex can be somewhat boring unless there's a psychological attachment to it.

Games bring that, or an illusion of that, better than most other media.
