- Wouldn't know. I've been playing without cheats.
- They don't do much that early in. However, once you start racking up passive debuffs, you want to take them out quickly. Toys do pleasure DoT and nerds "exposing your weakness" moderately raises desire in a body part.
- They're meant to hinder your progress by decreasing control until they're taking care of, remove certain structures you might have built with an edict, and force you to allocate resources (via edicts) to counter them.
P.S. You get the "minigame" from losing normally too. You don't really want to be defeated, especially if you're using a melee build. You're going to find yourself struggling to avoid sex. Even if you manage to generate more energy than you deplete, the debuffs and orgasms

They'll tell you in-game if you get the Publish Profile edict under Personal, I think.
