What Porn/ Hentai Stereotypes, Cliche, and Tropes that are your biggest Turn Offs?

[Docawesome]

You know that trope where you have this big fucking dude cut a baby out of her mother, followed by him raping the said newborn whilst pulling on his legs until he starts tearing the baby apart only to then put the baby in a blender and start the blender thus making a baby smoothie? Yeah, that's a turn off for me, but that might just be me. I'm weird like that.

EDIT. If you don't know what I'm referencing, don't try to find out. Seriously, don't.

oh my my gosh! no no no! im so sorry you had to go though that!

Well, I guess they could render the MC making an incredibly goofy face while he cums.

I think it's part of the corruption theme, but I don't like big ugly dudes in the sex scenes. Unless the point is to make me uncomfortable, then I guess mission accomplished. I just don't find the woman fucking the fugly dude sexy. I'm more tolerant of monster sex honestly. At least if it's just weird looking, like an alien or something, I don't really have a scale for that. I think this is very loosely related to the uncanny valley effect. That I could tolerate a "gross" monster more than a gross human.

That seems more like a body type preference. Those of us old enough to remember the Ron Jeremy era of porn, when most of the guys were pretty fugly, often kinda out of shape can sympathize. Though I guess the idea in putting that in a corruption game is to suggest the woman is induced to have sex with someone she wouldn't find remotely attractive.

Yeah, I "get" it, as to why it's there. I'm just not a fan.

 

[whiskeyrose]

Ridiculous well-hung main protagonists with dicks the size of feminine arms.

Agree'd. I'm fine with the fantasy of having quite the tool to work with, but when the shlong looks like it's long enough to have its own elbow there's a problem.

the screen going white to insinuate a male cumming.

That's usually a limitation on the artists part, and as long as there's a new picture with some spooge then it's okay. It's when they just flash the same image a few times and nothing changes, it's just lazy.

Some others listed before and some new ones listed here:

1. When MC is some horrific scumbag. I understand if sometimes the MC is a weirdo (Superpowered an example, as MC looks like a heroin addict). But its obnoxious if it's a plot point that MC is some fat smelly piece of shit. This is exponentially worse if none of the girls in the game treat MC any different despite being clearly a creep (Cohabitation is guilty as sin for this).
2. When characters (especially women) take rape lightly, and reaction to being sexually assaulted is mild irritation.
3. When a heroine is raped and midway through she starts to like it.
4. When sex doesn't fit into the games setting whatsoever. I'm fine if the setting of the game just has the entire world take sex profoundly lightly (IE: people are just casually fucking all the time, so it makes sense why your classmate gives you a titjob for finding her hair scrunchie). But if you're playing some game that's based on reality, then it doesn't make sense why when you find your niece's missing shovel she lets you finger her butt.
5. brain dead heroines, (IE: Oh, you want me to put this outfit on and bend over a desk? Well okay! I'm not sure why but I'll do it! Oh wait, something's touching me but I don't know why! Oh well it feels good!)
6. When the risk of pregnancy is not addressed whatsoever. I admit, I have an impregnation fetish (obvious from anyone who's played any of my games). But please at least a line during unprotected sex that you're risking pregnancy. These games where you bareback nut inside your teacher, sister, mother, and classmate 10 times each a day and nobody even references possibly getting knocked up just breaks my heart. I'll even settle for that "it's a safe day" horseshit.
7. (edited this one in) When every girl cums like three times during sex, with only penetration. I realize these are porn games, and some women will climax from penetration only. But seriously, when a game has a woman being fucked for the first time cum 7 times and ahegao from 5 minutes of humping, its laughable.
8. (edited this one too) When MC is some shota virgin, but is a sex god the moment his tiny cock enters someone
9. (final edit in) Some games do this, but manga/doujin is fucking guilty as all hell for this. Cervix Penetration. It doesn't feel good. Even pressing the cervix for most people hurts. Penetrating a woman's cervix, ESPECIALLY on the first thrust would cause unbearable pain.

Anyway, all the bullshit I could come up with a boring night. Interesting discussion.

 

[Malkav]

I just tried to think of a turn off that is not is not directly sexual or related to sexual kinks but I have come up with nothing.

So I have thought about it and come up with something I actually really, really dislike.

Player Choice.

This is a buzzword, Ubisoft and EA executives will throw around when developing their shitty radiant quest open world games. It barely belongs in gaming and especially not in erotic games.

The people who play your game want to experience all the content. They all have some sexual scene they prefer, and making it available to them is in everybody's best interest.

I need examples to describe this issue better, so I am going to rank some games with player choice, and rate how poorly it is implemented:

Four Elements Trainer: This is probably the best implementation of player choice available in a pornographic game. You can get a different story, with different scenes and a different relationship to your sexual partner depending on an initial choice of "love" or "slave" route.
While this still binds you, and essentially forces you to replay the game, it is done well. ALL of the sexual content is different. blowjob scene for Azula depending on whether you are in love or if she is your slave are vastly different, come up at different times, and uses completely new CG. The story is also different, not just at specific points like the games below, but almost every word of text is different.
Here is an important part: The creator only works on one route at the time.
Considering the business practices of developers on patreon, I think it is very fair to judge games on how they are progressing, and not just the finished product. Four Elements trainer only works on one route at the time, meaning everyone who is playing it is going through it together. It also means whenever there is an update, it will be relevant to you, because the content you are looking for is not some niche stuff hidden behind a choice you didn't make correctly several updates ago.

Dreams of Desire: In this game you get the choice of having your sister love you / be your slave and the choice of whether you want to help your friend get laid too / keep all the women for yourself.
Turns out these are actually minor choices. Alice and Marcus' mother are not even half the game's content it is probably closer to 25 %. And guess what, most of the Alice scenes (the bulk) are the still the exact same, wether she is in love with you or not.
This game is so vast though, you will need to have several saves to and replay the game at least 3 times to get all the content. The game is a visual novel, so replaying it is mostly holding down shift until you reach the relevant choices

Dating my Daughter:
Similar to dreams of desire, the choices here are meant to gate content, content that may be unwanted. Sadly some of these choices are far reaching enough that they can be called routes. You have to cut off content with some girls to get with others, while realistic (realism in an incest game?), it forces replay-ability.
The replaying is holding down shift until relevant choices occur, but it is to a MUCH worse degree than dreams of desire. This game features so much hand holding, kissing, accidentally touching, replaying this game is a lot more grindy and less rewarding.

A new Dawn: The absolute worst example I can think of. This game has 3 routes, separated in the beginning, all with an EXTRAORDINARILY huge grind, and yet share most of the sexual content. No one in their right mind will go through each route of this game. To describe the grind, basically you have to spent a stamina bar each day before you can continue to the next, doing so requires alot of clicking and button mashing, while moving around in a RPGmaker town, going to bed, realizing you forgot to pay taxes and eat, leave your house to do so, now walk back and save the game, and reload until you get the dream that will progress your story. Unlike four elements trainer, each route is being worked on at the same time, meaning the game will progress extremely slow, and some updates wont be relevant to your save.


To summarize a little: If you want player choice in your game, make sure that the consumer actually want to play your game several times. In you include some kind of grind (new dawn) or stall with unending irrelevant scenes (dating my daughter) playing through your game more than once is a chore.
I understand that the idea is for the experiences between routes are to be different in the finished product, not necessarily expecting people to go through them all. But that is just not the case anymore. You are not selling a finished game, you are selling monthly updates on patreon.

 

[Ignazzio]

Mind control of some kind actually works better than "magic teen cock"(MTC). Altternatively, to create a plausible incest scenario you need something like this:
1. Son/brother returns to household of mom/sisters after very long time away(long separation, being raised separately more likely to trigger genetic sexual attraction)
2. Women of family have plausible psychological triggers or personality types making them more vulnerable to seduction by family member(mother attraction to younger men or even a Jocasta complex, youngest sister isolated looks up to brother, other sisters going through some difficult stuff, etc.)
3. Crisis situations and shared experiences heighten intimacy, vulnerability, dependency
4. Son/brother takes on outsize role in household, inverting existing power/family hierarchy(breadwinner, disciplinarian?, problem-solver). "Spanking the Monkey" actually creates a highly plausible incest scenario.
5. Innocuous, commonplace "oopsie" sexual events mix with other factors to gradually nudge the characters towards greater physical intimacy and relax inhibition(accidental nudity, accidental groping, drunken kissing, straying into sex talk, asking for "advice" or guidance, massages get a little out of hand, etc.).

I have nothing against mind control. That's a fine enough reason for sex. I gave DoD as an example as MC like stereotypical incest character goes for his mother just because she's hot. Without any reason or even build up he goes for her cuz she has tits. That's this kind of behaviour that annoys me the most. It's fine as it belongs to this setting mostly but I really don't like it. In DoD there is at least some sort of a reason for women to go for mc (mind control). That's not an issue with only incest games. Plenty of games do it, probably because of a lack of writing skills of dev. Just look at Rance series to see how well written alpha huge-cock character can deal with such issue. All lies in writing

 

[Deleted member 167032]

For me badly translated games and shitty sprites over shitty background images. My soldier does not stand to attention when playing said games.

 

[Ataios]

Gangbang and anything else involving multiple male characters: I prefer women only in porn. One man is already bad, multiple men are an absolute no-go. It's questionable if I'd even call it a turn-off, because in this case, there will be nothing to turn me on in the first place. It's basically like watching a swarm of flies on a pile of shit to me.

Lesbian scene turning into an MFF threesome: This is more insidious than the first one, because it's the ultimate boner killer. It's starts hot, and just as I'm about to fap, the scene is ruined. It's like pouring cold water over my dick.

Shota/loli: This should be self-explanatory. Anything that has even remotely child-like features should not be in porn.

Dad-daughter incest: There are some forms of incest porn I do really like. Mom-daughter is extremly hot. Sister-sister is as hot as any lesbian porn. I also like some mom-son stuff, though only if the son is clearly an adult man (should also be taller than the mom and must not be a virgin). I don't care much about brother-sister, though in Snow Daze this was ok too. But for me dad-daughter always has a creepy, nauseating element to it.

Stupidity, "bimbos": I can't find women with apperantly low intelligence attractive. Neither in real life nor in porn. It's like fucking rubber dolls.

Anorexic models: I prefer women with curves (within the laws of genetics and gravity).

Any forth wall break in porn movies: Dear porn stars! Please don't look into the camera and please don't talk to either the viewer or the director! Yes, we all know porn is fake as fuck, but don't tell me while watching. It breaks the illusion and ruins all the sexual tension.

 

[redknight00]

The Russian Grind for obvious reason.

The Retard in Leechertown and the Female Player Antagonist, both for pretty much the same reason:for the most part winning and sexual content are mutually exclusive, while it's more characteristic of the second trope, RiLT's also have their fair amount of being blackmailed, raped and mind broken by her peers.
(BTW, the opposite would be a Creeper in Bimbotown?)

Daddy is Dick for the sole reason that I come from a well adjusted family and have no anti-authority tendencies, when the daddy/stepdaddy is always a douche or dead it's more generic than the opposite now. For once I would like to see a father genuinely worried about his son's decisions or even supportive of his creeper ways, that would at least be more original.

 

[GuyFreely]

@redknight00 I actually like Creeper/Lecher in Bimbotown at times. (Couldn't tell which way you were feeling on this one.) It's kind of like a bad action movie. Plot? Often forgettable. But it usually delivers the content in spades. In a movie, great fight scenes, chases, visuals. In the porn game, uh, porn. Obviously, it could have a great story and compelling characters just like a good action movie. It helps if the game doesn't take itself too seriously.

I don't mind it, it's as you say, could either be like a bad or good action movie. I was just wondering if there was already a trope for when the player is the leecher and the town is retard.

In anime, I believe it's usually called the lucky pervert. Protag just keeps finding himself in unlikely sexual situations. Although this may be a subset of the larger idea.

 

[redknight00]

Lucky pervert doesn't seem accurate, as it doesn't take the Mc's intention, a creeper consciously goes after everything with tits.

 

[ashw]

For me anything with scat.

I also hate censorship, anything censored is a big turn off for me and i wont read/play it.

 

[freedom.call]

When I dislike the main character for various reasons (moronic, rude, stupid, not able to speak, never seen a boob/nipple et cetera).

Not given a choice when I feel I should have a choice because I don't want the character to do whatever. Or maybe I want the character to do whatever and he decides 'nope'.

No rape. Girls looking clearly underage is another no no.

 

[Vortex5000]

I hate games with girls that purely tease despite obviously liking you.
The majority of girls 18-25 irl will fuck on the first or second date if you're both single.
Why then is it taking me weeks to even get a kiss?
Drives me nuts.

Eh, yes and no, a large quantity of first and second dates don't end in sex, but in my experience that's often an indicator that the girl isn't particularly interested. Usually if a relationship is actually going to start it's 3 dates maximum before you sleep together, after all you're both young and horny so if she's actually attracted it will be happening by then, and usually sooner.

It is weird though that whether the game be romantically focused or more focused on hookups sex on the first/second date seems to be an extreme rarity. My girlfriend and I had sex on the first date, and she wasn't some wild nympho like a lot of the girls in these games by any stretch. When the chemistry's there it's hard for it to NOT happen. After all, if you're both single, attracted to each other and interested in each other it does become a question of why not? I have talked to my sister a lot about it though and her perspective and she did say when she was younger she'd sometimes play hard to get with guys that seemed a little too antsy to get into her pants to see if they actually cared about who she was as a person.

On topic though I hate NTR, Cheating, Rape, Blackmail, Coercion and Mind Control.

 

[DarthSeduction]

This is a buzzword, Ubisoft and EA executives will throw around when developing their shitty radiant quest open world games. It barely belongs in gaming and especially not in erotic games.

Either you play shitty games, or you have no idea what player choice really is. To be extra mean about this, I've never seen a Ubisoft game with player choice. EA happens to own Bioware, so they've got what is essentially the king of player choice driven narrative. More importantly you've got games like The Witcher 3 which so seamlessly integrates your choices into the game that almost every decision has some consequence. And here is the kicker, consequence. If your choices have no consequences then they don't matter. However if the things you do can hurt or save people in the future then doing one thing or the other matters. Translated to adult games there are a number of ways to implement this, with bad endings, when done properly as an endgame thing, rather than as a game over screen at the beginning of a game (looking at you DmD), or reward endings like Harems, all being possible.

The people who play your game want to experience all the content. They all have some sexual scene they prefer, and making it available to them is in everybody's best interest.

Actually, there's a good chance we don't. For instance, while I very much like corruption and slutty behaviour in women, I draw the line at consent. If the female character's only motivation to be with me is fear, then I'm not interested in it at all. I also don't care for peeping content, and nocturnal molestations if they can be avoided. These are all choices that would have to be made in the game. For some people the choices are just as much about avoiding content they don't want to see as they are about finding content the do want.

Take, for instance, Babysitter. In this game you have romantic rivals. Making the wrong choices is going to push Christine away from you and into their arms. However if you're not afraid of a little competition there's a bit of wiggle room to be had here on some of it. There's a particular scene that takes place as a game of truth or dare in your jacuzzi after a night at the club with Christine and her friend Jessica. If you dance with Jessica then Christine dances with the bartender, Robert, who'd been introduced a few times earlier. At the end of the dancing you have the choice to either allow Robert over, or gate him then and there, keeping Christine to yourself, or, you could have danced with Christine and avoided this problem all together. If you let him over though, the game of Truth or Dare becomes much more interesting. You still have options to keep him and Christine from ending up together, and nothing truly sexual happens, but you get to experience something good. Or, if you absolutely can't handle the threat of NTR, you choose one of the two options that keeps him away.

In this way choice matters, it grants greater insight and playability.

In this game you get the choice of having your sister love you / be your slave

This is a bit of a misnomer, and it's an important distinction. Alice is the only character I really cared about in this game. The aunt is fine, as is Tracy's friend from the Tanning Salon, but Alice is why I play it. The choice you have with her isn't love me or be my slave though. It's only give yourself to the person you truly love, or be my slave. And that is a huge distinction. What that does is free Alice from the guilt of any path that involves incest, allowing her to follow her heart in that respect without feeling guilty. For me, a guy who is a huge siscon and prefers consent, that means the world. That means that when she comes to me it's not because I forced her, it's because she loves me, and through that I am the winner in this situation. If she becomes my slave I can still have fun with it... but it's not the same. And that is important. That choice determines how I feel about the entire story.

To summarize a little: If you want player choice in your game, make sure that the consumer actually want to play your game several times. In you include some kind of grind (new dawn) or stall with unending irrelevant scenes (dating my daughter) playing through your game more than once is a chore.
I understand that the idea is for the experiences between routes are to be different in the finished product, not necessarily expecting people to go through them all. But that is just not the case anymore. You are not selling a finished game, you are selling monthly updates on patreon.

As I hope I've laid out to you, it's not about replay, it's about having a route best suited to you. If you wanna be against grind or poor pacing, as in New Dawn and DmD respectively, that's fine, but choice? No. And as to your point about it being a monthly release system and content not coming as quickly as you'd like if they do multiple routes, fine, wait a couple releases before playing again. I do that all the time. Long Live the Princess is a great example of this, where it follows a life sim format with lots of different characters and therefore a bit of a slow progression with each route. I hadn't played it since January, but played the most recent update and loved it. Your lack of patience isn't the developer's problem. They are making a complete game. Trying to cater your larger in scope game to people who don't want to wait is just going to ruin the games they're making. And doing only one route at a time is just going to make the game worthless to those who want the content that comes from another route.
