If I just wanted sex scenes, I'd watch porn. It is objectively, as a media, better for isolated sex scenes. As isolated animated scenes would be. I'm here to play games with compelling stories, with interesting characters. Yes, I like to get invested in the media I consume. I care about the characters in the movies I watch, the books I read, the TV shows I enjoy, and *gasp* the games I play. AVN aren't "porn" any more than erotic or romantic literature is. It is a visual novel made for adults. If all you want is disconnected sex scenes, that's fine, but then I'd say, why are you here playing games when pornhub is a thing? Most people creating a story want their fans to get invested in the characters, if you don't connect with the character and stories then either the media you consume is just shitty, or you may have some other... I'll drop that line of argument. I've cried watching movies, and reading books, and playing some AVNs. I've gotten angry doing those same things. And I've gotten sexual excited by all those mediums as well. If these developers who keep forcing NTR, swinging, and voyeurism into harem and incest games are just trying to make good sex scenes then tell THEM to do their fucking jobs and research and then pick the right medium. Just make a graphic novel, a kinetic novel, just the sex scenes (aka porn), and stop making games with namable MCs. Don't make a game telling people to name the main character, get invested in his life and story, and make choices for him to get the outcome you want... and then force stuff on people without warning.That's one thing I don't understand. "Your wife". "You are a beta bitch".
I don't project myself into the MC or any porn I watch. I watch it I don't live it.
NTR as F95 Tag convention stand is not just MC crying in the corner or wanking off while watching his loved one get fucked by a better man. It has evolved into Any women love interest or not of what can be generally perceived as the Main Character having sex with another man.
Woman having sex with her non-mc husband: NTR
Mother of MC having sex with MC's Father: NTR
The anti-NTR crowd here are so stuck in their notion that I AM THE MAIN CHARACTER they simply reject the notion not all women in the game is theirs.
You are not the main character, your are the player, selecting choice for the main character.
I personnally hate how F95 Tag and crowd have made any stakes, any moment where non-mc male character is close to any women be defined as NTR.
I love the idea of having options. If I make good choice MC can get the girl. But if I fuck up, or if MC fuck around the women won't simply be fleshlight freely available. They will go elsewhere and someone else will have fun.
One good thing Is I have learned to appreciate Female Protagonist game. Somehow just because the POV is reverse and you control the women's decision (even though in most NTR cases the player also make decision that can cause the MC's wife to cheat but that's a big no-no for that crowd) You can have her be a slutty and unfaithful as you wish.
In the end I think Anti-NTR crowd main issue is their perspective. Stop projecting yourself in the MC and you can learn to enjoy just good sex scene.
Even accepting the strawman argument that harem fans "just wanting to turn the girls into fleshlights for MC," the NTR counter argument is turning her into a fleshlight for every other man *but* the MC. I'd rather a loyal fleshlight that is the MCs than a fleshlight that gets passed around by the whole town. MC picks the wrong dress, female character bangs other guys. Game rewards player for doing what it set up and banging more than one girl, well now the girl he spends hours grinding points for will now bang the first other guys she sees. NTR fundamentally turns every girl into the town bicycle unless the MC does everything exactly right. It is not realistic; it's not character consistent. This has nothing to do with consequences either, a girl can dumb the MC for cheating on her if the story is set up as a single love interest game and not a harem. But that has nothing to do with forcing NTR and voyeurism. Do you watch a girl who breaks up with you bang other guys? Did you watch your sister on her wedding night? Did you watch your mom and dad bang?
NTR, swinging, and voyeurism are also the only fetishes treated differently than any other fetish. No developer is unsure about adding scat, vore, necrophilia, incest, pregnancy, sissification, anal, or any other fetish. They know where they stand on those. But if the crowd wants NTR, or if the "story demands it" they will add it. As if the story is a living thing and not under the full control of the creator. Harem, very rarely, is in that category where the developer says they aren't sure, but that is almost always harem baiting, and the developer knows where he stands, he just doesn't want to commit and drive away the harem fans he can milk. NTR is also one of the few fetishes where the proponents will piss and moan about the "actual meaning, technically not, being blah blah," but then ignore that in the original Japanese meaning it includes family and friends and not just girlfriend/wife. Based on the Japanese meaning, yes, a childhood friend, or a little sister would count. But we go by the site tags here because this isn't a Japanese site.

NTR, swinging, and voyeurism are also some of the only fetishes developers lie about not adding to their game, or about them being avoidable. Dragonspire, Forgotten Paradise, College Bound, Roving to Sussex, Jason, Hero Party Must Fall, Genex Love, The Builder, World Crossing Acadamy, and those are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head. They all (to varying degrees) added in NTR (or lied about it being avoidable), sharing, swinging, voyeurism, or other things like those. Some developers have used technicalities to avoid catching hell for it, and some games change things to keep their word after being called out for it like Knightly Passions, though I haven't played in several updates so I can't say if the changes are sufficient. Developers will occasionally lie about having incest or harem or lie by omission about those being there, but that is to draw in downloads. If that fact that people say "no NTR," to get downloads, and then say "maybe harem and incest" to also get downloads doesn't mean anything then oh well. To me it means they are very different in intent and application.
Players don't know the future of the story, so I load up a game that has the incest tag, I will begin the game with certain assumptions, that the mom and sisters will be love interests among them. If a developer is so dumb that he can't imagine players assuming that and then he shows the mom with another man, yeah player get upset. If she is (or will be) a love interest then yes, it is NTR, it doesn't matter who the other guys are. If she isn't, then it is the developers own fault for not being smart enough to make that clear. If you were playing a game with "hot sex scenes" for five updates and then suddenly the developer added and unavoidable scene where your favorite girl gets murdered and her corpse gets raped and then the MC lets the guy who killed her fuck him in the ass and then take a dump in his mouth and afterwards the MC says, "Man that was fucking hot, I never knew gay sex, necrophilia, and scat were so hot." Would you be happy? Would that be a "hot sex scene" for you? NO??!! INSECURE SIMP BETA GROW UP!!!! Because I guarantee, to some people, that would be the hottest scene they have ever seen in a game because no game I've ever heard of has done it, but there is someone out there dreaming of such a scene.
NOTE: When I use Voyeurism above, I mean watching other people fuck, not peeping on girl changing or shit like that.
