You tried to explain well but really again asking, does choices matter?
If you are looking for game where the main character change his own personality with a single player choices this is not your game.
I love when is possible to debate about this game bc I having a similar experience with my wife...
( although I am over50 and sex parties are not as frequent as they were 10/20 years ago)
I'm not very new to the forums, and over time I've learned that when someone talks about whether choices matter they usually mean that with a choice you cut off a certain type of path completely.
I tell you this because I participated in a debate in the Mila AI Thread.
I am sure you will agree with me that in Mila-AI game choices matter...
I had a discussion about this with aDDont
but that game is not realistic.. the writing is voluntary write to be just a game without a reality story
I'm not saying husband can be the only man anne fucks. But, choices like husband's best friend doesn't mattered or stopped anne from having fun with husband best friend in older version.
This is totally false I still play the old CH14 version and Ryan is completely avoidable...so I invite you to read this old post of mine from 2023
In CH 14 CHOICES MATTER in the exact same way as TACOS.
In 2023 I wrote many other posts with detailed instructions to prevent all the men the player doesn't like from fucking my wife.
please take a look at my WT-posts for CH14 i posted the links just for you where I make you exactly the choices you have to make to avoid my wife fucking Martin, my friend Ryan, his boss Walker etc etc.

And there are some more instances. Why to give such choices anyway if there is no impact?
Choices have always impact in this game (both old versions and this rework)... but some of the consequences will be available only in the endings. (such as pregnancy or other things)
Actually the game is at the third month from when Anne and me mutually decided to start the open relationship adventure
However, it is important to understand the writting style of this story.
The author writes this story realistically (with some exaggeration perhaps?).
Sure!!!
The exaggerations are due to the fact that this story is avowedly a porn game...so the sex scenes are the center and they are definitely exaggerated because in reality even though we have an open relationship with my wife, it has never occurred to me that my wife fucks one guy in the morning, another guy in the afternoon, then goes to the spa and gets fucked by 2 BBCs, and in the evening we go to a swingers' party... and again the next day the same with different men

this is an exageration made for the porno show
The open relationship is for sure REALISTIC!
Even the most famous porn stars don't have sex 5 times a day 365 days a year
But in real life especially within a loving couple, choices are never permanent.
People can change their minds... and problems can be resolved with clarifying discussions... .. and from personal experience I can tell you that I have never definitively broken up with the many girls I have had (I'm still in contact with my first love-girl)...
frankly I am not the jealous type although in the first months of a new relationship I am very suspicious and maybe yes a little jealous...
but after 8 years of faithful marriage between Anne and I, we have reached the point where we are sure of the love we feel for each other ... and that this goes beyond sex...
Our relationship is based on the fact that we think alike.. we are on the same page.
Such a relationship can become boring with time and this is explained in the prologue....
Anna and I have decided to test our love for each other...and if we can overcome all the challenges we encounter during the adventure in the end our love will become indestructible....
human beings can choose to wage war against each other
but that is not part of Anna and I's life, whether to live boringly or to have fun.
Concluding to try to explain myself better--
This game is not based on choices typical of computer games...
Here the player cannot change the personalities of the main characters
The player can avoid seeing some scenes but can't be sure that Anne won't get mad at me if I stop her from going out with one of her friends.... this is a TV show... with some interactive choices but it is a realistic novel...
This is a REAL STORY inside an interactive VN ( at least is written as the story is for real) That's why i love this game.. bc is not a childish stupid game where characters change their mind based on the player choices
But Anna is a real woman with her own personality
the player can't change my wife's personality... the player can't change my personality either...
I'm fetish and perverted... Anne has her own fetish and is a pervert
the player can't change our personalities
BUT ALL CHOICES MATTER about how the story will progress
The choices only matter to define the evolution of our relationship as a couple....
The choices will lead to different endings
but for now we are in the third month of the adventure... and, for example, my wife Anne is not pregnant today...I remind you that being a realistic story you will have to wait at least 8 to 9 months from the time my wife is pregnant to see Anne's baby...
in fact I already told you...you have to be patient and wait....
start playing TACOS S1 and enjoy the fun my wife and I are enjoying...I suggest you explore all the paths because for every single path there will be a good ending and a bad ending...
if you don't like this realistic writing style
THIS GAME IS NOT FOR YOU!
If you are looking for game where the main character change his personality with player choices... play "A COUPLE's DUET OF LOVE/LUST", "Mila AI" or other stupid games where the MC has no definite personality of his own!
