Submissive/masochistic content - discussion


Hello everyone!



I've started this post for discussion of what specifically to add

for the prove me wrong release. The winner was “Consensual

submissive/masochistic content (e.g. rough sex, humiliation etc)”.

Considering that this isn't something I was originally planning to

add to the game (as with all PMW candidates), your suggestions on how

to implement it will be especially useful.


There was already a little discussion of this on an earlier post,

but I'm starting a new one so that it'll be the most recent one, and

also as the older one was restricted to voter-patrons and I want the

discussion to be open for everyone.


From the earlier discussion, people wanted content added to

existing scenes rather than being encapsulated into a single new one.

I've started on the preliminaries, and here's my shortlist of things

to add. I feel that it's lacking a bit though – it seems a bit

lightweight and so I want some more ideas.


  • Add a new trait (“Likes it rough”). I was originally

    planning not to do this, but on consideration I think it's

    essential. The Low Self Esteem and Passionate Lover have a certain

    crossover with this, but neither of them really capture what I think

    we want from this update.



  • Modify stat effects & corresponding text for existing

    actions to handle this new trait. It should make the character

    always like 'rough' actions. It should also probably make her

    aroused by being insulted, but unless she has low self esteem she'll

    still dislike the men who are rude to her even if it turns her on.



  • Add an action to existing male-driven sex scenes where the

    character asks her partner to be rough with her. This would

    encourage him to switch to the rough pace and disable the slow one.



  • NPC responses to above action based on traits. Jerks, loving

    men, guys who dislike her, vigorous lovers – these should all get

    custom text.



  • Possibly add a new npc trait (“tender lover”?) that will

    make men refuse to be rough with the pc. However, this might not be

    an appropriate addition for the PMW release. After all, it's sort of

    the opposite of the requested change. What do you think?



  • A new speech action for when the pc has asked her partner to

    be rough. This would involve him insulting or belittling her.

    However, because it's being done as sex-talk, the pc wouldn't

    dislike the man for doing it. Guys who are jerks might get to access

    the action even if she hasn't asked for rough sex, in which case

    there would be relationship effects. There should be different text

    for 'nice' men compared to jerks, but I'm not sure on what

    specifically to put here – suggestions for what you want the men

    to say will be very welcome!



  • A new 'serious talk' option where she asks the man to always

    be rough with her. This would act as if she'd always taken the “ask

    him to be rough” action in future sex scenes, without the player

    having to select it.



  • Deepthroat/face-fucking oral option, which she can request or

    a jerk can do anyway. This would limit the pc's actions unless she

    decides to stop him. Girls who like rough sex would need a willpower

    test to stop deepthroating.





So... as you can see, there are a few things there I could use

help with. There's also some other areas which could use more

content. Here's some where my ideas aren't well fleshed-out:

  • Rough actions for makeouts? But what? I guess there can be an

    alternative breast-groping action where he's so rough it hurts, but

    I'm not sure about what else. Sadly, because of the complexity of

    the clothing system, I'd rather not have him tear or damage her

    clothing while removing it.



  • A humiliation option in dates or at the player's home?

    Perhaps the man uses the pc as a footstool? Or just berates her for

    a bit? Or he ties her hair to something so she can't move (bet that

    wouldn't work in real life!) and she has to watch as he puts his

    feet up and has a beer in her home? Well, there's a bunch of things

    that could go here, but I'm not sure what would be interesting for

    people.



  • Obviously we should keep Cubano satisfied with a

    rough/humiliating breakfast option. Maybe he makes pancakes and

    brings them to her in bed, but he's used syrup to write “you suck”

    on her one?





Well, post a comment with any idea, suggestions, thoughts or comments. I really want to make sure the PMW release is a big success, even if it means taking as long as 0.3.9 did!

Kyle Quesom I'd agree with the suggestion that "I like it rough" and "Talk dirty to me" are two similar, but separate types of behavior. A character with low self esteem might enjoy being called a dirty slut or a cocksleeve because it means her partner is paying attention to her. As for submissive makeout options, how about forceful kissing? He grabs the back of your head and holds you in place, invades your mouth with his tongue, keeps you from breaking away. It could even be a continued action like touching yourself - you're unable to say anything unless you break free first. Similarly he could pull you across his knee and spank you (pretty sure someone else mentioned spanking, if so I second it). He could also force his fingers inside your character's pussy and start working her clit violently to 'get her in the mood' - which would actually work on those with the rough trait. If you're wearing pants he shoves his hand in under your belt/waistband, if you're wearing a dress then he pulls it up. For standing sex he could pin her arm behind her back. That would keep her from doing much on her own, also means she's pressed up hard against the wall. Finally, for doggy style, he could pull her to the edge of the bed so her butt is hanging off the side, giving him complete control of the tempo since she can't pull away. I realize some of these might be hard to implement, but I think most are also useful as occasional moves by assholes and jerks.

Brian Wachs I think this just goes to show that you really can't do submissive without writing extra actions for the partner, because SOMEONE has to be active. Partner-initiated actions seem to logically be the focus of pulling this off.

Splendid Ostrich I've just done the forceful kiss action, and your post was useful for it, thank you.

September 15, 2015 23:13:23 · Reply

Kyle Quesom Oh yeah - breakfast. What about if he won't let her have any until she gives him a blowjob while he eats? Especially controlling is she cooked. I know it would be a somewhat new scene, but I bet quite a bit of it could be recycled from the theater.

cubano >Especially controlling is she cooked. I knew this would happen. Once you start adding the rough stuff, cannibalism isn’t far behind.

Kyle Quesom *... if she cooked.

Splendid Ostrich I did the new breakfast action yesterday, and went with a bit of a different approach that I'd originally been considering as a new date action but I think works a bit better in the next morning scene.

Drgong This looks like a lot of substantial additions, any chance of the monthly small updates and the 4000 add yourself so we see some updates?

September 11, 2015 01:15:17 · Reply

Splendid Ostrich PMW will have to be the next release - the code's partway done and it needs to be finished before I can do another build. I won't be implementing every suggestion though - there simply won't be enough time for that much.

September 11, 2015 01:35:37 · Reply

centerflag982 So is 0.4 on hold until the PMW stuff is done? Or are you going to finish it and then PMW will be next after than?

September 11, 2015 05:12:33 · Reply

Splendid Ostrich PMW will be the next release, version 0.3.10. That'll be just PMW content. After that I have a bit of a backlog of other patreon work - event lottery and the $4k milestone. 0.4 will be on hold until I've caught up with that.

Prove me wrong - suggestions for voting

Hello everyone! It seems the "prove me wrong" milestone has been reached. I'll run the actual vote early next month but first I need suggestions to be voted on. Just comment here with your ideas.

Any patron can suggest something and I'll include it in the voting candidates if it meets my criteria, but of course voters will get the final decision about which exact changes get worked on.


The conditions for what can and can't go in are pretty much the same as for the event lottery, except that this will be an entire release so I'll accept larger scenes. I reserve the right to refuse any suggestions if I have a real reason not to want their inclusion, of course.

Anyway, here's the key points:

- Suggestions must be achievable within a typical release, and can't require excessive future maintenance. That means sizable changes to basic game mechanics are probably out.

- Large scenes are fine, although a big scene typically takes a full release by itself. That means you can suggest sex scenes.

- Smaller suggestions are also fine. I'll start on the vote winner, and when that's finished I'll move onto the next most popular choice, assuming I still have enough time to finish it.

- Content that I don't want in the game is still not allowed - I'll let you know if I'm rejecting a suggestion. Common requests that I won't add include rape scenes or drugging the player. For a long-winded discussion, see my post on the event lottery: http://splendidostrich.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/the-event-lottery.html

- Content that I choose not to add just because it doesn't meet my own preferences is fine. The point of this reward is to give you a chance to get that sort of thing in the game, after all.


Thank you for your support, and I hope to see some fun ideas :)

Dutchess 0. First of all - submissive/masochistic content. I know that there is strict "no" to rape, but why not add sexual situations that include rough sex, bondage, humiliation, but everything with consent? Like, maybe, a trait for this kind of fetish? Like in event suggested below - where character is called 'slut' in public due to her big breasts - with this trait character will be aroused by this kind of treatment... 1. Wardrobe malfunctions. It could be part of Exhibitionism content. Quick example - work event for big breasted character that starts with realisation that blouse from work outfit shrunk after laundry. Choice - get rid of it or still wear but it will increase naughtiness, and have a chance for another event of dramatic wardrobe malfunction during work. 2. Corsets

June 16, 2015 09:12:52 · Reply

Splendid Ostrich Bondage and exhibitionism are on the list for voting. I'll add corsets too, although I might end up putting them in the game regardless at some point.

Hi34E8fd an option to make phone calls to like arrange for dates or call in sick for work and other stuff.

Splendid Ostrich "Call in Sick" and "ask someone out" activites - okay, I'll put that in for voting.

July 6, 2015 12:49:47 · Reply

centerflag982 The only thing I can come up with off the top of my head is something that might already fall under the "Relationship" umbrella - and even if not, it'll still have to wait until after that update: Cuckoldry. Not simply cheating, but doing so with your boyfriend/husband's full knowledge. Two ways this could be done (both of which I'd love to see included: 1. He fully approves of it and is turned on by it, based on a personality trait (one of my favorite things about ETO/Girl Life is kissing your boyfriend with cum on your breath, and noticing him get hard in response) - hell, maybe he's even the one who convinces you to do it in the first place! 2. If you're a particularly dominant/strong-willed sort, and he's weak-willed/submissive (think this would also require new personality traits) you can do it without his permission or approval, and blatantly lord it over him. His opinion of you wouldn't change, or at most would *barely* decrease. Again, maybe you already had something similar planned in the Relationship update or after, but if not, think this would be doable? ----- Anyway. Now that I've written all this, I actually have thought of something else - body hair growth/shaving choice. Bit of a niche thing, I know, but there's nothing wrong with adding a bit of appeal, no? This would be a small thing, really - just have two toggles in your character panel like the BC one (defaulting to on) for whether or not to shave pubic and underarm hair (I'm leaving out legs, since leg shaving is pretty much a universal thing, whereas underarm isn't 100%, and pubic shaving is 50/50 at best). Turning a toggle off results in growth in the given area over the next 3 or 4 weeks (stops afterward), showing up in your character description (slight modifications for each level); turning them back on will remove those descriptions starting with the next week. It doesn't have to be anything more than a purely cosmetic thing, though perhaps underarm hair could make guys find you slightly less attractive - again, depending on personality traits. Perhaps an slightly uncommon trait that makes them not mind, and an even less common one that actually makes them find you *more* attractive? ...Damn that turned out to be a much longer post than expected

Splendid Ostrich Ok. I'll put some things into the voting list.
