You should not let her know that there is a hole in between the room where they change in the swimming pool. Just keep on peeking until she catch you. She will show everything
They will be in version 0.72.

For the hole in the dressing booth you should let Lisa know and keep watching her or she won't find out herself.

Distinti saluti
Il tuo Xagrim
Contenuto:
- Helena vorrebbe invitarti di nuovo con tua moglie. La donna più anziana non le parlerà della tua relazione adesso, vero?
- Tua moglie si è appena spogliata per mettersi il costume da bagno in una stanza sorvegliata da telecamere. Qualunque cosa tu decida, ricorda che qualcuno potrebbe guardarti. (Aggiunto due visite con tua moglie a casa di Helena (se sei su questa rotta)
- Greg spera in un Dirty Dancing con tua moglie o almeno in uno decente, ma dipende da te se riuscirà a farlo. (Aggiunta la prossima visita al bar con tua moglie)
- Un mondo completamente nuovo si apre per Nina da quando è stata intima per la prima volta. Ha scoperto una nuova posizione da provare. Ha senso per lei perché ha solo 19 anni, ma non sei troppo vecchio per questa roba del Kamasutra?
- Puoi invitare anche il vicino più anziano o più giovane a seconda della tua scelta precedente, non ancora per il Kama Sutra, ma per divertirti.
- E poi c'è la coppia che aspetta che tu e Nina andate a trovare. Almeno se segui quella strada per fare pipì con loro. (Aggiunte scene per tutte e tre le strade per Nina)
- Per chi ha risposto di sì o forse allo speciale metodo di allenamento che Jill aveva in mente, ora vi aspetta a casa. (Aggiunta la prima missione indoor con Jill (incluso un piccolo minigioco)
- Lisa non ha problemi a mostrarsi di più ora che hai concluso un No Touch Deal. Ma deve davvero essere la colazione con tua moglie in giro? (Aggiunto alcune nuove scene a colazione per Lisa (se hai il NTD con lei)
- Migliorati alcuni dialoghi e scene (grazie a SDevil (Editor e Scene Writer))
UPDATE RESUME:
- Lisa has no trouble showing more of herself now that you've closed a No Touch Deal. But does that really have to be breakfast with your wife around? (Added some new scenes at breakfast for Lisa (If you have the NTD with her)

Raise the Relationship and visit her often in the kitchen if she wearing the nightdress (at least the red one)
Gone far enough already. And I still didn’t understand that the wife will only have ekbtionism or will there be sex with other men in other updates?

NOTE: This is constructive but much-needed criticism. I'm not here to just trash the game since there's some potential here. But a LOT more consideration is needed from a game-design/playability perspective.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
I prefer slow-build progression. But the grind and repetition in this game is ridiculous. Hopefully the dev buffs that out and does some redesigning once the content is complete, or preferably much sooner. Current design seems to be stalling for time to make it seem like there's much more content than there actually is.
Another thing that's absolutely needed is a more robust hint/guide system. Only some events have a specific day/time listed in the menu or are even mentioned at all. There are so many innocuous events where you have to be at such and such a place, at a specific time, on a specific day, that actually block progression if you're not, which you just have to be lucky enough to run across.
Some study or consideration of game design and what actually makes a game fun is seriously needed here. As-is, this is only playable with money cheats - and only somewhat then. Pressing a bunch of buttons to go to the same job every day: Not fun. No-one needs a tedium simulator. This is very far from the worst game on this site however. This could be decent if the dev takes a step back and puts a LOT of thought into working these issues out.
Suggestion: Study some other time & stat based games that actually work - preferably non-porn since few if any of these erotic game devs have any real design experience or training. Maybe boot up Disco Elysium. Play through. Study it a bit. What is the designer doing differently that makes it work?
Edit:
Adding another big flaw now that I've figured out where part of the tedium comes from. Dev is basing certain incidents around how many weeks have passed rather than just which actions have taken place and which stats have been gained. So you're required to grind for weeks and weeks to pass the days, even if you've already fulfilled all of the other requirements to make a scene or general relationship change happen. The only goal this design choice could work for is stretching for time. From a gameplay/fun aspect, this is an absolute game killer. "How can we make this game as tedious as possible and get players to quit before any actions happen?" would be another goal it could achieve, but one I doubt the dev was intentionally working towards. Unless this is completely revamped, dev needs to add a "Skip a day" and a "Skip a week" option. Ideally a revamp occurs. But even a lazy fix like this would at least make it somewhat more playable (though far from ideal) - as long as there was some sort of tutorial explanation that some incidents may take weeks of game-time, so players know to use those day/week skip options. There is a "Sleep till next day" option the player gets by the afternoon. But it still requires some clicking around in the morning. Some of these incidents/relationship changes require 8 WEEKS to trigger (could be longer for others I'm not aware of). That's just an unacceptable wait-time from a design pov, given the game's current mechanics.
What's clear is that this game isn't being designed with the mindset of "if I were the player, would this be fun to me? What would keep me engaged?" Questions you always need to ask yourself - and get feedback for - when designing any sort of content.
Edit 2: Suggestion for a cheap fix - Have a calendar in the house. They player can click on any day they'd like to fast-forward to on that calendar, even fast-forwarding a full month. You can potentially use a fast-forward sound-wave for it too (or simply reverse that rewind sound that plays when an "excited" MC hugs his daughter in the kitchen). And done. At least at 20% reduction of in-game tedium. Hooray.
Again, this is just a cheap fix based on current game design. Ideal fix would be to not base the game around literally months passing to unlock new progression. Plenty more fixes are sorely needed as well (money grind, more robust hint and schedule system, reworking some of the models who look like they're wearing wigs, ect). But this would be a big start.
