How important is "interactivity" of sex scenes to you?

Hello guys and gals. I wonder how much the "interactivity" of a game's sex scenes are important to you. I remember that many years ago I played a game called "Super Deep Throat" (probably a flash game?) and it was a very simple game, but I've found the way you can control how it goes instead of playing a premade animation is very cool.

What do you think? And what are other kinds of "interactivity" have you seen in porn games?

Less than 0. Seeing multiple angles is more than plenty (and not even necessary, imo). A high quality sex scene (whatever that means) does not need interactivity. A low quality sex scene? No amount of interactivity will save it.

I should mention that I am almost exclusively into Visual Novels, and not into games with actual gameplay in them, so take that into account, if you want.

it's nice to have, but more important is the interactivity in getting to that scene. the choices you make before must be meaningful, meaning there must be ways to fail and screw up through bad choices. if there's not, and all choices lead to jackpot, nothing matters and the scene wasn't deserved which makes it feel flat and pointless.

the getting there part is what builds the excitement, what increases the tension and emphasizes the release. and specifically the fear of NOT getting there.

I'd say the quality of the art matters more than the interactivity. Control over the camera angle is nice, but not necessary.

Unless there's a suit that can simulate touch/kiss/twerk etc... interactivity is just pain in the ass when it comes to sex scenes. Just create engaged and minimal core gameplay and move on.

Not really interested in different angles and different animation speed also doesn't do much for me. Super Deep Throat is an exception that proves the rule (and also the whole design of this game is about interactivity).

This. I used too many brain cells getting to the sex, don't make me work while I'm trying to watch the action. And I trust you to pick the optimal camera angle angle too, please don't force me to change angle if I want to proceed.

Thank god the terrible practice of "click really really fast for this scene to progress" is all but gone.

It depends on the game:
If it is a action/platformer game, I like the interactions. It is usually QTE stuff, but it still lets you interact, struggle, or advance scenes.
If it is a VN, I am not really interested in interactions, just let me progress through the scene and check out the imagery.

A game I like right now for interaction is a game called Lillith's Throne. The game is in kind of a dev hell right now, but the interactions in sex scenes is great. You can select positions, actions, and whether you are the dom or sub in the scene. It is text only, so if you need pictures, pass on this, but there is a ton of interaction you can play around with in the sex scenes.
