Have you skipped the sentence that was before the one you chose quote? I specifically said that a "cuck tendency" can't really be explored if Ian is single in a given playthrough. Porn from Jeremy can't mean anything if he doesn't date anyone seriously. And I'm saying that it's very unlikely that Ian masturbating to Alison's pics or underperforming in a threesome will be used outside of his interactions with Alison. I know how Eva writes, she doesn't like referencing what happened with other people when interacting with a different LI. Ian doesn't get more nervous with Alison if he came from Lena's handjob or was denied sex, him not being able to get it up with Alison has zero consequences on his sexual prowess with Emma or Cindy, etc. Eva doesn't have a computer in her head with all possible paths imaginable accessible at any given time. When writing any scene, she usually thinks about what happened with that person in the path, not with anyone else. For example, when writing scenes for Holly, Eva never makes Lena think about Robert, Mike, Louise or Jeremy but references to Ian are almost always there. You could say that characters compartmentalize what they experience with other characters when interacting with a different one. It's reminiscent of GGGB where almost every scene / path happened in a bubble and barely affected other characters unless they were directly involved.
