Though you're skipping over Stan and Jeremy sucking each other off if you want to actually mirror the dynamicsThe real double standard in this discussion is considering promiscuity corruption, but only if we are talking about a female character. If it's a male character, then he's a chad. Just imagine an alternative story where Jeremy is Stan's friend and he makes an effort to try to make Stan stop being a virgin. He encourages him to party, have some drinks, maybe some drugs. He wingmans him so he gets some action with some random girls but always insisting on no catching feelings and just have casual sex. And Stan ends up fucking several girls including some thereesomes with Jeremy and let's say being in the other side of Holly's glory hole. Most people would be calling Jeremy the best friend ever and Stan a fucking chad.
And this is not a defense of Ivy. I see her as a manipulative bitch who plays with people for her own advantage and amusement. But she really thinks her way of life and seeing things is the right one, she doesn't see as corrupting getting Lena and Holly to be more like her.
I think the same argument could be made though, that Jeremy's influence on Stan was toxic rather than healthy, as it boiled everything down to a pursuit of sex, and viewing sex in a transactional manner.
And I agree, Ivy is a manipulative bitch, but she also believes her actions are correct or even righteous. Seymour would likely relate to her as a fellow Master/Child.
Personally, I do believe having a slutty period in one's life is a good thing overall. The game ignores STI/STDs, pregnancy risk, and minimises potential reputational damage. Domestic violence is also ignored as a threat, and a trip to service a gloryhole is at the extreme edge of a slutty phase. But I view a benevolent slutty phase as being one of exploration and personal growth and understanding. Ivy's version goes a bit beyond that, imo.
But it's a porn game, so reality doesn't need to rear it's ugly head at every corner. This game at least includes condoms, if briefly. So it's ahead of most games here.
