Seduction Vs Corruption

[Infamyxxx]

What's really the difference?

Can it be argued that one is just a form of the other? That seduction is a form of corruption (or may be the opposite???)

The MC turns a shy, inexperienced or even a virginal female character into an absolute wild sex crazed slut. Did he seduce her or corrupt her really?

And if you believe that there is, in fact, a difference in between the two, then how would you make the two paths distinct? Or is it the matter of ethics/morality? So, seduction is moral but corruption is not. But the end goal is the same, isn't it?

1. Corruption comes in many forms. It can be seduction, or grooming, or mind-control, or coercion, or financial pressure. Even something completely non-consensual like rape can have psychological effects that lead to corruption. It can also happen passively without a third party, and it can even be intentional (self-brainwashing through mental techniques).

2. What is corruption is subjective. Things one person might find reprehensible, another might consider wholesome. Sexual liberation can certainly be considered wholesome and harmless. So corruption is a change towards something deviant or immoral. The concept of corruption is rooted in morality and social norms, which can vary a lot from one person to another.

So how would you make them distinct, well that's up to you and your intended audience. But as an idea: A wholesome seduction path might involve honest communication, gradual progress within the character's comfort zone, sexual experimentation that leaves everyone satisfied, and no one is harmed in any way. A corruption path might involve getting her hooked on drugs, passing her around to your homies, gaslighting her, keeping her away from family and friends who might object, and generally being a trainer-game protagonist. Yeah, I think most people of any background would interpret that as corruption.

Subjective definitions abound. Seduction can be presented as a woman/man sweet talking someone into sex. Seduction can also be presented as a tool to use in the process of corruption.

I keep it simple for myself and ignore what f95 and people in general tend to go with. For me seduction is just the process of convincing or persuading a person to have sex. Corruption is the process of intrinsic change in a person to accept and even enjoy something that goes against what the character was established as accepting or enjoying.

I guess the lines are blurred then, huh? Lets say there's a female character who's very modest and saving herself for marriage. I suppose to get her to put out before that would be inherently a corruption even if the player seduces her into it. So, making two distinct paths of whether to seduce her or corrupt her seem futile from this angle then.

There are levels and caveats in everything, all of which are entirely dependent on writing. Depending on the writing of a story/avn a virgin having sex with a guy can be framed as seduction or corruption or both. That's why the first sentence of my post was "Subjective definitions abound."

My two cents: it's about social norms.

• In a Corruption scenario, there is moral wall between two characters, society norms dictating they should not be having sex. Incest obviously, but also sex outside marriage, best friend's mother (assuming he objects), workplace authority abuse, officer/crook etc.

• In a non-corruption Seduction scenario, nothing prevents the characters from having sex other than the fact the LI simply is not into the MC, and over the course of the game he needs to change her mind.

Always seemed pretty clear cut to me (not saying its right but in my mind)

Corruption requires the introduction of something new that the other party is unaware of or going further down a path they they are aware of or have previously gone that moves them from their previous position - 'try the apple, its delicious' (even if its not an apple at all but some addictive hentai fruit)

Seduction is convincing/enticing them that something they are aware of but avoiding/resisting is a good to indulge in 'you know the apple is sweet, have a little nibble'

One often proceeds the other and then the other comes in again

Corruption is cringe, and seduction into a wholesome relationship is based.

Well, I didn't know that sexual corruption is real until I read that in law is real and illegal, you could say that it's different in life than in porn which is abuse of power. For example, a teacher giving a student good grade in return for sex. So yeah, corruption is used to influence/coerce/blackmail a victim into whatever the perpetrator wants which have malicious intent. Porn version is an innocent/pure virgin becoming a nymphomaniac, so corruption makes you change your own ethics/morals/values. Seduction we use to just seduce person into relationship/sex which is making you feel confident about your body or yourself and safely exploring kinks hence sexual liberation. Seduction is used for something good, corruption for bad. Pretty clear to me.

It's simple: Seduction is how much she love you, while corruption is how far she's ready to go when it come to sex.

It's a bit more blurred in games, because they tend to assume that the girls are all madly in love with the MC, but IRL it's not this rare, especially with teenagers. There's rarely love in those couples, and possibly a lot of corruption, especially if you're her first one.

 

[Dryme]

Seduction is just a beautiful form of corruption

 

[gunderson]

Not sure how many people here have taken V-cards, but the transformation that can happen in a lady in real life can be...a little extreme. So I'm not totally sure that there's a meaningful difference IRL in all cases.

In a porn video game, the seduction route looks like going on nice dates and giving a girl stuff she likes and winning the big race and shit.

Corruption in a video game looks like taking a good girl and making her like doing 'bad girl' stuff. Tricking her into doing sexy stuff on camera, drinking, drugs, getting her used to being groped and dressing sexy, that kinda stuff.

Well, I'll note that historically, seduction was "wholesome" corruption. The word comes from latin "to lead astray", because enticing a person to have sex [outside of marriage] was considered highly immoral. However, norms have changed, and so did the meaning of the word.

Seduction means enticement to have sex with the seductor (and the sinfullness part is now not a factor). Corruption is enticement or coercion to do something against some internal convictions or some such. The end goal of corruption can be not just sex, but that's secondary. The most important difference is presence and breaking of that internal barrier.

Seduction: "Okay, I now find you hot, let's fuck."

Corruption: "Okay, I really shouldn't, but I really want/need/have no better option than to do X."

So, it's a matter of good girl path vs. bad girl path then? A waifu vs a whore route.

I think it depends on the use case for all of them.

Corruption is generally seen as a bad thing all around, with the goal of making the target do something they wouldn't normally do and it is against their will and better judgement and tends to be about forcing them into situations . This is kind of the male version of seduction.

Seduction is similar except it gets the target to agree to do something and is generally based on being more kind and loving to the target. I feel like this is the female version of corruption.

Quid pro quo? HR in the room with us?

I was never fond of how corruption rewrites a character into being a sex crazed maniac. Like getting boned by one person suddenly means you are the town bike and everyone who looks at you funny can get a ride. Definitely a corny game mechanic but it is what it can be!

Now I'm curious! What does a woman do when she loses her virginity? For me it was very awkward and weird but the next day was pretty much normal again except the insides of my thighs hurt.

I guess they mean that when you're a virgin, your inner "slut" is asleep, so when you lose your virginity, you start to behave like you aren't on a leash and go wild, bleh. It would mean that all women are whores and that they need a man to unleashed that. Everything depends on your strong mind and good control of your body/hormones, so self control.

 

[seifukulover]

There is no real difference. We do this a lot in English: have two different words that mean basically the same thing, but one has a more positive spin than the other. It's just like 'destiny' and 'fate', two words that mean the same thing, but the former has a more positive connotation than the latter. In this case, 'seduction' is the "good" one and 'corruption' is the "bad" one.

But any words you use to describe seduction can also describe corruption, and vice versa. In both cases it's about convincing someone to do something that they wouldn't otherwise do.

Oh!

Hopefully it's not something sexist like that. That would be silly. Though with the popularity of OnlyFans it does seem like a lot of whores have gone off the chain over the last few years. But I don't think even they are door to door whores just for the sake of sex. They want the MoNeY from behind the safety of a camera.

She asks for a towel, because neither of us gave any thought to clean up. (We were 15, don't yell at me! )

No doubt!

A bidet is the best but I didn't have one of those until decades later.

I remember using wash cloths and towels to squeeze the cum into. I didn't erupt in a fountain of blood either. Hopefully your experience was good! Mine hurt my thighs and vagina due to a bad angle, not enough lubrication and too much thrusting when dry, and literal fear making the whole thing more a panic than a fun experience that had some deep impact!
