The problem with the sensitive idiots is whether you see the character have sex, if you don't see it then there's plausible deniability. The other characters are most likely not virgins but there's been no proof of that, so they can still pretend that they are untouched. There's an Erynn sextape so it's obvious she's not a virgin. Obviously there's a different set of rules for "milfs", I think they must believe that virginity resets after 10 years or something so they're born again virgins and haven't had sex since they had their kid(s).
I understand the annoyance with slowburn when there's so many fast fuck options around. But given the main slow burns are Erynn (whose only sexual interactions with males so far appears to be Ethan trying to blackmail her into fucking him and an ex who recorded it and showed his mates). And Layla (a virgin, whose only sexual interaction appears to have been flirting with guy who then stalks her), I think the slow burn is the best route for both of them, it would devalue their stories to have them willing to jump into bed with MC after just a couple of months of getting to know him (again in Erynn's case, but an 18 year old is very different to a 13 year old so that still takes time).
It's not just that some options are slow while some are "fuck like rabbits".
It's that some (Erynn in particular) felt like stalling, happens to others too, Layla has been completely forgotten the last 2 episodes and Elena by nature of being locked behind Layla is even more spotty...
Erynn starts the game with the trauma from 5 years ago hanging over her head, we wait until episode 6 to resolve that...
In episode 7 right after finally dealing with that we are thrown into blackmail/sextape storyline, so we solved one thing and now we have a second problem...
And for 8/9 no steps were taken to resolve these issues, she's either completely absent or appears as if to say "i'm here just to remind you that i exist and i'm still not doing anything".
This is why i like ep10 for her so much, steps were actually taken to solve this problem, we see her come out of her shell a bit and Nyx managed to mix her search for her dad into the blackmail storyline, that's great.
And 10 also left enough hooks that let's me believe her storyline won't immediately ground to a halt again, i didn't mind that there was no sex because i didn't feel like this was purposefully stalling/wasting my time.
So this was great, but if it goes back wasting time or solve one problem only to get another... that may be one time too many.
