IMO, when it comes to things that are really important to the plot, the developers (of games in general, not in particular to this one) should just follow their gut and what made their game successful in the first place. No offense, but most people don't really know what will work best for the story and are just looking for a quick gratification. And when they get that quick gratification, they start wondering why it doesn't feel as good as they thought it would feel. Good stories and porn, in general, always need a part of tension building that is followed be a part of tension relief. Usually the part of buildup is even more important than the sexual interactions that follow. Polls should just be left for minor things like "What color do you think looks best for x character's dress" and not for important things. Hell, if everyone knew what would make a good story, we would all just make our own. Just my thoughts and I may be wrong.
