Well for "perverse" it makes sense, a fair number of those might even be intentional semi-immersive fetish content opt-outs rather than actual story choices. No idea what the ratio of "good" vs "bad" is but what really irks me most of the time isn't the obvious black&white split but rather that a choice is offered to the player where most of the time one side is consistently the sole intended route within each game. With a choice between "hug her" and "slap the bitch!" it isn't always clear which one leads to sex, but it gets especially jarring when you know which alignment the dev intended and do something like insult->hug->choke getting sex scenes for both #1 and #3 but not #2.
Things you're tired of seeing in a game?

You're absolutely right, but isnt that usually an indication of lazy game design? In a perfect world, every "fetish choice" would have two equal and different paths fufilling to two different kinds of players, not just "this is the way the dev intended it for full gameplay, and you can opt out if desired"-
And yes, it's jarring when the choices don't neccesarily reflect common sense, but after you notice trends, you find yourself having to get in the head of the game-maker every decision ala "Hmmm so this is how he thinks these kinds of relationships play out, he would probably say X is the decision that does this and Y does this", whether or not that choice process has any grounding in reality....
"In a perfect world" sure, but with a small team or just a single lone developer something has to give. If fetishes are being added in the first place chances are the devs are into them or an existing fanbase clambered to have them included, which means dev time needs to be diverted from the non-fetish "choice" to make that happen. And sometimes there really is only "do or don't" not a list of options to choose from, for example if a character needs to pee for plot/game mechanics reasons then you can opt-in to watching them (or doing more...) but any piss-free choice would follow afterwards and thus still be available if you did view the watersports content.
It doesn't need to reflect "real" reality (let alone your personal view on it) but it needs to be consistent within the world the game presents. If that happens to be one resembling the real world then sure. But my point wasn't about equally poorly written/explained choices, it was about devs clearly only intending one path yet foisting a fake non-choice onto the players regardless. If women in their fictional world get wet from being insulted or beaten and turned off by basic affection then just skip to the beating already because unlike the pissing example the choice for players who don't like that is "quit the game".
Couldn't have said it better. Mata Haggis has this great quote in his gdc talk about the player being able to succeed in an action while the character still fails. A great way to reconcile manichean choices and give a more unexpected outcome.
So you just make the game shorter. If you have 10 units of time to work on the game, I'd much more appreciate a game which has 4 units of general gameplay and 3 units apiece on two paths, rather than 6 units general gameplay, 4 units opt-out-able singular fetish gameplay.
If you disagree with this, I'm envious of you, because it likely means your interests/turn-ons in game are well represented and aren't hard to find - thus the sense of a plentiful market where there are always more options if one dev's game doesn't suit your tastes.

Lack of foreplay(on the guys part),I have seen this format(hello-kiss-optional blowjob-Full-on penetrative sex)in majority of games on this site.The girl gets instantly horny/wet on the slightest touch so the only foreplay needed is the guy getting a blowjob and its all golden
.I love games that have interactive sex options like eating her out,licking on her clit,fingering cunny/ass,eating ass,doing the same to her tits,etc.
Wish more games would consider this

Quite the contrary. Female protagonists with sexual agency, pubic hair, consensual monster/tentacle sex and belly inflation so pretty much a grab bag of things no one ever does.
Thing is with the choice you present I'd rather gamble on the one relevant game being good for once and having as much content as possible rather than sift through another half a dozen empty grindy generic "sandboxes" in search of a single short scene in each. It gets even more jarring when you keep the fraction of "general gameplay" roughly equal rather than arbitrarily devote a larger total fraction to fetish content. It's much easier to skip and ignore a whole game when the target audience is clearly telegraphed and those without any particular fetishes have a huge bulk of vanilla games to enjoy anyway.
But not all such content is created equally. On the player side pubic hair is trivial, a single option toggle or "shave" prompt. But for shitty devs relying on whole-scene renders it doubles the rendering time and file size of the game. Cumflation is a simple potion or "CUM MOAR!" button you can add to any vanilla sex scene with a single extra animation. Futa/trans is easy with some basic text substitution if you already offer male and female as options. But a strong female protagonist or sissification or incest is something you need to design an entire character/path or even the entire game around, a midpoint split will rarely work properly.

1) Unessesary big breasts, i get the appeal of it but there is a limit and its in almost 80% of games and its not like just one or two characters it could be 7/10 chars or the whole cast could be like it. Apperently the world only knows two sizes, small/flat as a cutting board (insert loli image here. i would but dont wanna get banned/flagged or something) or giant tits like Karryns prison, (not shaming that game just setting a example) there is no inbetween. at this point the appeal of it is slowly dying to me. i always been one who like medium size breasts and not many games seem to like that. this could also be applied to butts
2) Giant dicks, not much to say just no. not every guy in the world is hung like a horse, just kills it a bit to me.
3) Bikini armor, it annoys me to no end, you can make a woman sexy in armor without going that far with it. i know im overthinking it and leave it just as "for sex appeal" but it just always annoy me since i am one who like armor looks in games.

Agreed on the first (on real life we have boobs on various sizes), and on the second too, mostly because they went overboard on size. Your MC can have a reasonable big dick, but when your dick is bigger than the girls arms, kills the mood a bit.
On the third one, I don't really have an opinion because I don't play that much of AVN's with medieval settings (the last one was Funbag Fantasy Sideboob Story). So, as of now, I'm 50/50, because it goes from game to game.

Agreed. I've seen some sexy looking plate armor that was form fitting and effective looking.

Horse dicks are annoying, even more so when they are attached to 5 feet "18" year olds.
Small dick protagonists is a very bad sign unless you are into humiliation
Regarding armor, the funny thing about this is that armour design would't really need to change for women. The chest in plate armor is already domed and the armor is custom built for the owner anyway. They could make some really elegant armour for women. Even boob armor is not that weird, within reason, they had muscle cuirasses.

I'm completely onboard with how silly bikini armor looks outside of porn. But are you really complaining about this topic when it comes to erotic games?
In my mind it is quite the opposite, in erotic games it feels like a complete waste to not use skimpy clothing in general.

- Great renders being ruined by horrible nipples. You know... the ones where it looks like pinched clay and painted pink. Also, neon pink nipples. WTF. Why are your teats glowing?!
- Minigames that require me to use two hands. C'mon man, just let me play with my peepee.
- Remaking a game or changing the look of characters before finishing the game. If the original artist left the game midway, then I totally get it. But so many times, it's because they don't have a concrete idea of what they want their game to look like or what it's supposed to be.
- Making me click on a single choice in a game. It's absolutely pointless and you're just trying to engage your players by making them do something just to move the scene forward.
- And lastly, stop making me jerk guys off. When your male character starts fapping, thinking about his busty grandma, why do I need to have a giant rendered cock on my monitor?! It's like cumming when watching a porn and the cameraman just decides to focus on the dude's face as he nuts. God please no.

I love this topic.
Using names to "hide" something we all know.
-Sleep sex? rape.
-Landlay? mother.
-Not having to choose if i want something with someone. Harems are great, but sometimes i dont like a character, or its something i dont like (like insest).
If i DONT WANT TO BANG MY MOT... LANDLADY dont tell me in each dialoge i see her, oh that ass, o my god, i want to snif her panties or whaterver. Optional contect not reflected in the slightest in dialoges and monologes its stupid.
-Good protagonist who does "sleep sex", or spy on girls or stuff like that and it still is treated like a hero or a good guy.
I dont care if you play as an asshole, but get consecuenses for your actions, or at least, the rest of the cast should react to your shitty stuff.
-100% horny girls for no real reason. One or two sluts its cool, but the entire population of the world?
-Im the only man alive because...
-All girls with mega tits and ass. Diversity plz!
-Mega dicks than can kill an elephant swinging with it.
But the worst offender in my opinion is:
-Characters who NEVER in any situation would act like that in real life, so its not credible at all.
-MC acting random (in one scence is perplex by blood, in the nextone rips someones hart and rape a village, and that does not bother him).
-In realistic settings (not powerfantasy or stuff like that), not having ANY type of bad consecuences for your actions.
-Not going foward for years with the original premise/story because the game is milked with sex sences each update, adding nothing to the original premise.

While annoying, this one gets a pass from me. A lot of platforms that act as major sources of income won't host incest games, thus forcing devs to use landlady and the like instead. It's why the ic patches exist.
