I'm currently working on the next update of https://f95zone.to/threads/a-dream-life-v0-0-2b-demo-pabg.75795/
In the game you'll have some stats that will define if you can or not access some stuff.
Among the stats you have Strength (just to give an example). Now I'm really struggling with naming a stat that defines your sexual skill, I don't want it to be "Sexual", "Sexual skill", "Lust" or something like that, I want a single word that can describe your sexual skill, if you have a low amount means you're a newbie at sex and you know hardly nothing about it, and a high amount of that stat means you're a professional at sex, you know everything and you're good at it.

Why not "Sexual"?
-Because you can say you have low strength or high strength, and it doesn't sound weird, now if you say you have low or high sexual it sounds hella' weird

Why not "Lust"?
-Lust is sexual desire, not skill, I was also thinking about using "Libido", but it's almost the same thing as Lust, although I prefer Libido because it's not that common among this games.

Any ideas? I need to remark that I need it to be one single word.

But what even is sexual skill?

For instance a character with high charisma should make a girl cum by just talking to her.
A character with high endurance could bang someone for an entire night.
A character with high luck finds the G spot accidentally.

What I'm saying is basically that you can just use other stats you already have present in your game to define what different sex scenes would need for success, instead of just a generic one for all.

Heh, I used Perversion on my game. But it was more aimed to a stat that gates more...err...exotic sex encounters.

If all the stats are about sex, it would be called "technique." If the stats are generalized, like charisma, str, int, etc... then it's hard to find a single word description for it. Sex skills, sexual technique, Sex experience, etc. The only way to describe it in one word be to make up words like sexperience or something.

The only "Sexual skill" is understanding your partner's desires and adjusting your movements accordingly to their body responses. So I'd say Insight, maybe Perception/Empathy.

Technique is the one I like the most. Prowess feels more male oriented, which in this case is probably fine.
Sex Skill/Sex Experience/Sexual Prowess/Sexual Technique are all better however. Why do you need it to be a single word? If you do choose to only have one word like Prowess make sure to have a suggestive icon or a description to go along with it.

Wasn't it ?

Lust = How horny you are at a given time.
Libido = The amount of overall lust.

So a person who is at a strip club and a girl is giving him a lap dance grinding on his lap may have lust factor at that point in time because he is hard and would like to fuck the girl on his lap teasing him. That does not mean this guy has a huge libido though. It's an isolated incident.

Libido is more like a cumulative version of the same thing. A coomer or a guy looking up porn all of the time, and jerking off constantly would be a man with a high libido.

I think it would be interesting to incorporate both Lust & Libido into the code. Base Libido would start at 0 then once build up lust it would go to level 1 and start from 1 next time you go to level it up you need to hit 11. Cumming also raises Libido.

Lust would be resetting though if you:
-Cum
-Sleep
-Shower

A high libido or lust however would not mean you are skilled at sex though. A guy jerking off 10 times in a day isn't gonna turn him into a porn star that can do all the creative sex moves with ease.

So other individual sex skills might be good to add. So maybe "Cunnilingus" could be a skill. If you eat 100 pussies your pussy eating skill will be higher than the guy who jerked off 9,235 times. Then the partner you are with could have their own sex skill ranks as well. So, even if you are maxed anal skill and max libido and lust you are not gonna be spinning the girl by her ass like a helicopter on your dick if she is an anal virgin. So you would need to build her skill up as well.
