I agree, if there isn't a little friction, a touch of jealousy or competitiveness or even doubt then it gets too sterile. Yet you have people who think it becomes hard NTR the moment the girl sees the guys as anything more than warm dildos so things can't be but either complete depersonalization of either the girl or the guys where they lose basic human emotions but at the same time become more and more sexually depraved. At which point it is no different than watching two random unrelated pornstars fuck on camera and even those pornstars hold positive or negative opinions or emotions about each other most of the time, why bother with naming them if there is no human element behind the name?A agree, and I get angry often when I think about it. This is the heart of the matter. In order to stabilize this ideal model, there mustn't be much agency on the part of the other participants, the "bulls". I myself have called them in another thread "human dildos". They would endanger the model if they would be allowed to develop possessive feelings or intens emotions. It has to be all of a serene, peaceful "fun" quality.
But I understand more and more through these discussions, that there is a certain normative ideal behind that (see last post of the dev), which cannot allow for these reactions, for a loss of control beyond the mechanical, beyond the mere "fun" into emotional turmoil. We have to respect that as an ideal, as an aim, as a certain conception of sexual relations, even if we don't see it as realistic. I wouldn't want to psychologize the motives behind that as insecurity or playing dominant, but it is a normative project a wish for a kind of sex which is exclusively a positive and peaceful force no matter how much one excalates and frees it from limits.
If Le Stag would even choose to let Laura have more of a relationship with any of the guys she fucks beyond meeting up to have sex which may or may not include companionship then I think there would be a lot of backlash. Especially if this would actually include things that could result in friction or jealousy, let alone things like romantic moments between Laura and Nathan and I think not even Le Stag himself wants that since he seems to also want it to be completely certain experience without any questions about emotions.
And no this isn't about turning this game into a full on NTR, I don't want that. It's about having emotional stakes which if there is no risk then there is none, you can't have trust if there is no chance for that trust to be broken in the first place.
