Slow burn lovers

[Infamyxxx]

To those of you who like the slow burn in your games, what is your sweet spot where the sex scenes/encounters are not too early but not too late or a long wait either. In terms of gameplay, how many hours of scenes or lines of dialogue before the naughty bits happen hit that spot for you?

And would you rather play a game that has small and brief sex scenes scattered throughout the story or a big build up all throughout the game and a massive final climactic sex scene in the end?

I vote for both. I like fast and slow burn romance which includes build up of tension that results in climactic passionate sex. I like when sex scenes are short but also long and detailed when they are well written.

I enjoy gradual, detailed corruption and I'm willing to go through a lot of non-sexual content as long as the psychological / behavioral corruption is appealing. My favorite (Star Knightess Aura) starts at dead 0 (moralistic virgin MC with a good boyfriend) and goes to maybe a 2 in 10 hours. But I can also enjoy games that start a 7 (Nuka Ride, iNSight of you being favorites) and end up breaking the scale, if they're well paced with frequent scenes and escalation.

I like the subtle hints of sexual interest. Teasing, showing off like panties, breast slips, upskirts, peaking pussy, casual interaction while also small sexual play. Too early would be first immediate reaction, I do enjoy a good slow build up. Too late would be after too much dialogue and little sexual hints. I like early naughty bits like a scene where the MC is either sleeping with a boner or casually masturbating thinking about other characters which build up hopeful future encounters with said other characters. Good spaced out sexual or naughty scenes. No immediate sexual interaction, more playful turned sex. I also like to see MCs and other characters relax in the nude but not be sexual with one another or self. I enjoy minimal clothing, ex. tank top with panties or thongs. I prefer lighter colored panties with design, graphic wise and pantie design via laced, g string, basically showing off her petite butt curve and teasing a bit if her vagina.

I am against having a sex scene at the end of the play, but I would also prefer it if the women did not jump into the main character's arms in the first second. Figure it out yourself.

Well for me. Sex scenes do not have to be all full-blown intercourse. Which is why I said mix

Smaller scenes teasing and petting can be followed with a much later full-blown sweaty sex in the end.

Option A is for smaller shorter game which may or may not have good storyboard
Option B is for bigger longer game which must rely on the plot to keep things interesting
Option C is for harem lovers...

LoL

I think it depends on the character's involved. If you have a character that is more open, less build up is needed. Pure virgin? You might need more. Limiting an entire game to just one "speed" is... well, limiting.

Sandbox! I like the choices for each all and everything and nothing.

I'll assume the MC is a woman here...

I prefer when the main character is simply inexperienced and sees sex as that thing people in love do. Fairly innocent without her being a saint or something, and simple, left open enough. Then she starts having experiences that say otherwise like seeing other people doing crazy shit. Usually devs add a slutty friend to help nudge the MC, which is not even needed sometimes.

Because of that I like when the game goes through multiple, varied scenes without penetration of any sort. Having a guy whisper in ear, touch her leg, her thighs, her arm, brush against her breasts, the MC showing her underwear, letting someone lift her skirt, not stopping a kiss on the cheek. All that stuff I love, and all of that in constant escalation is what works for me. You bet I want her to be groped well before she's actively touching around.

I do not like having the sex scene at the end, but well, this depends on what you call sex. Some might see a handjob as sex, or a blowjob and I can understand that. So the MC having sex for the first time should always be left to the player honestly. Chances are that if you introduced multiple characters people will choose the one they like more, or they will be crazy and make her go into an orgy right away... which is usually not a choice you usually have for a first sex scene.

I also absolutely despise when the MC is all shy and shit, then two scenes later she's getting groped and as soon as a dick comes out she's all over it because "it's so hard and the smell makes me crazy". Please... I know it's a game, but... no.

I do want to grind enough for her to be lewder, I want all of the tease first. One of my favorite games (actually completed) is this: Grace of the Labyrinth Town. There's a lot of groping and touching before the MC is even touching a dick, then there's more waiting for orals. Then at one point later she does anal, and when there's finally going to be vaginal the game let's you choose who gets to do her first. It's pretty amazing. Also, plus points for MC having an actual human body without breasts the size of a basketball. Though the game has some blackmail and shit, but still qualifies as a slow burn.

Yes, I like the grinding when it's worth it. If I wanted to see some quick sex I would go to other places or use one of the save files people post. In fact... if I cannot see any sex when playing the first hours (without any rush I mean) then that's great.

Damn... why can't I write normal sized messages like most people?

You can use both ways to do it, but depends on characters and also type of story. So everyone must figure out what fit to game and what time use it.
For example if your character is build for slow burn, then stick to it. Don't make her slut after she notice player. If your character is build for fast burn, then stick to it. Don't make her asexual bitch until the end.

With good writing and an interesting story I enjoy a good slowburn, of course it needs to fit with said story. But after that slowburn has built up and paid off going back to another cycle of slowbun isn't as fun. More scenes, more rapidly after the 1st and as the relationship between the MC and character builds is my ideal situation. Not constantly of course still need a cooling of period and the story to progress.
