Well, I might as well~
Ultimately, there are three intended and well-implemented (should=is) playstyles: Strict, Sadist and Slut.
- The Strict Style is self-explanatory and all sexual-actions are avoided.
- The Sadist Style attempts to deal as much damage as possible while avoiding taking it, this includes sexual damage too.
- The Slut Style endures and is exclusively dealing with sexual gameplay.
The main difference between Sadist and Slut (or Masochist) are the builds and how far ones goes in side-jobs. Like a sadist needs to be agile to grab 'it' before they stick 'it' in elsewhere and use willpower to keep certain desires low. One also needs Stamina then. A Slut is all for Energy and Endurance while on higher Difficulties one still needs Sexual Skills (Dexterity and Stamina) to get through.
Just like remaining Strict depends on one's pace, once the gates are opened, remaining a Sadist and not sliding into a Slut greatly depends on pace and actions. The biggest challenge one will face is the level cap. While there are beneficial passives/titles for Strict and Sadist to be acquired over time (edicts also count), the worst that can happen is to become a Slut with the wrong stats. Energy and Endurance are not really/not at all increased by the other two.
In a way, the Sadist is the in-between and yet it is also different. One can actually be exclusively a Sexual Sadist but it is the hardest style to reach and to keep. For enjoyable long playthroughs, one can only use the other two since passives will make her too sensitive to stay like that.
