I guess it then comes down to difference in opinions, but fortunately the game allows you to pick the mode where you're guaranteed to pass all checks and don't have to worry about it... so it's really not much of an issue?
If you optimize your playthrough on the manwhore path you can get 10 lust at the beginning of chapter 12 after eating out Cindy
Not an issue for you personally. I do think the other elements are good to have and would rather play with earning points because it does add to the overall experience. But I feel like an Ian that's taking Lena's ass when offered, covertly buying her raunchiest stalkerfap access, jerking off to photos shared without permission of his female friend from high school with his friend's dick flopping in front of the camera & saying yes to a threesome if available is pretty likely down to experiment, or at least in a situation where the player should have the choice to at that point.
Could you tell me what options are you talking about specifically? I can't think of any lust-based choice i'd even consider to be on a grander scale, much less multiple such choices.

The most notorious one are Lena related. Tom on the stalkfap path requires 7 lust which is difficult if you don't fuck around. Cheating on Ian with strangers also requires high lust stats.
Hmm my Lena has 7 lust (hit 8 this update) even though she's just with Ian and didn't as much as flirt with any guy other than Axel. She also doesn't run full Stalkfap, just the modest version. If she was doing full Stalkfap she'd probably be around 9 by now.
The biggest ones are definitely the Chapter 9 "experimental relationship" convo & the chapter 10 Alison threesome Ian is blocked off from accepting in an earlier chapter (even after beating poor Ian Jr senseless in previous chapters to pics of her with J, plus previously flirting & going home with her). But even in this chapter, dating Lena, my Ian is blocked off from the lust option of having sex with her when she gets to the summer house. There were other options blocked as well in the chapter, which I'd have to check, involving texts/actions with other girls for an Ian that's just found out his girlfriend is very likely cheating on him. It's hard to list all, since after experiencing some major blockers in previous chapters that would require nearly another full playthrough, I've just been jumping into the code each update and adjusting the lust requirements for all after hitting another blocker.
Yeah, I see how relationship stat is used in this context but Jeremy with low relationship score with Ian certainly has no need to inform him in fact he had no problem hiding info about Gillian.
Autonomy is important when it comes to both sex, and gaming and doubly so when it comes to sex in adult games.
Having this option blocked doesn't block you from actually having sex with Lena though, unless in very speficic setup where your Ian is just viewing Lena as a fucktoy. But then it can be argued such character would have his Lust high enough to take the second option.

"I tried pushing away my worries for the moment in order to give Lena a warm welcome."
"Let's join the others":Autonomy is important and I never argued to the contrary. I believe so as well and think you're either mischaracterizing what I said or misunderstanding me. I simply think that the lust requirement is unnecessarily high for certain situations, partially to do with how those lust points are awarded. Mileage may vary and it really depends on path and what you're going for.
Thanks. Wasn't sure if that one had any difference. It's really not one of the major blockers though. Lena experimental relationship and Alison threesome are definitely the two biggest.
I'd argue this isn't necessarily true -- Jeremy who isn't on good terms with Ian can have two potential reasons to inform him. One, in hope this will help to patch their relationship. Or two, out of simple spite.
The Tom request I was refering to happens in chapter 8. At that point, 7 Lust is difficult to get for a nonslut Lena.Hmm my Lena has 7 lust (hit 8 this update) even though she's just with Ian and didn't as much as flirt with any guy other than Axel. She also doesn't run full Stalkfap, just the modest version. If she was doing full Stalkfap she'd probably be around 9 by now.
Plus, can't seriously consider making a video for a Stan on intrawebs to be a grand scale event, sorry.
Note, the "experimenting together" has multiple ways to pass, even if Ian doesn't have high enough lust:

That would be a great idea,EK should make Gillian the slutty villain we all want her to be.imaging a route where mike is in a relationship with gillian
-and ian gets beaten by mike
-lena can gets mike to break up with gillian
-gillian is growling back to ian and says how much she miss him
-ian thinks he can fix gillian falls all in love again and gillian act all sweet and innocent
-gillian instantly cheats on the next best opportunity (girls night out) she has
