Hope I'm not alone in this one, but I like the way the game currently respects the stats, I always found it cheesy how some corruption games would just let the player cancel an event from happening despite their stats being complete crap. Lowering MIND is all about making Lara feel dumb and helpless, a lot of the ways of lowering her MIND stat involve letting people force her into sex stuff, so how are y'all lowering her MIND stat that much without letting any man touch Lara? Unless being groped by the guard isn't NTR? How about the handjob to the warden, is that NTR? The blowjob? Or is only penetrative sex NTR? It is all kind of arbitrary lines.
I think the dev mentioned earlier in the thread that he would consider a low MIND high VIOLENCE Lara in the future, could be that type of Lara "snaps" if pushed too far and gets options to fight back even with low MIND, but only in extreme situations, like having her virginities threatened (so she could stab the gambler's client even with low MIND, for instance) so maybe that could be a way of playing a low MIND Lara while avoiding the "hard" NTR.
But otherwise, I feel that if you want to avoid NTR, you should not lower her MIND. A high CORRUPTION Lara is already plenty slutty anyway, but only with things and people she's comfortable with, like the MC. The MC isn't some super buff RPG protagonist tagging along with Lara 24/7, he can't protect her if she becomes completely incapable to protect herself.

I will agree the "Hide NTR" option of the game is kinda useless for the people that would care to turn it on, the MC is mostly there for the player to insert himself into the story, changing the writing to make it so the MC doesn't have romantic affections for Lara doesn't do much if the player himself does. Also the game could have a more explicit breakdown of the stats to warn the player that lowering the MIND stat will lead to Lara being abused, partially because soon enough it will be possible to completely lower Lara's MIND stat just by having the MC trash-talk her all the time, in that scenario I can sympathize a bit with a player getting blindsided by forced NTR.
