About the game's erotica...

[kapparomeo]

Geez, guys, there's a degree of difference between that and just taking the initiative in a relationship, y'know.

[Wrench Wench]

Over here "OHGODSEMENEVERYWHERE!" and "AHHH I'M GOING BLIND!" is not considered tasteful.
Seriously...what the fuck is wrong with Japan?

Shinto-based culture vs. Christian-based culture I'd imagine.

But they're so repressed in their day to day lives...

Given half the fellows here think that taking the initiative involves chloroform, and almost all of the other half thinks it involves flags during conversations, were you at all surprised at this turnout?

[Smoku]

I want to see a Lilly paizuri.
a Rin foot job would probably be present on the Rin path, that's what I assume

Well, in my book, forcing another person to have sex is rape, regardless of whether it happens in a relationship or not. Last time I looked the most western judicial systems saw it the same way.
"Just" ripping the shirt open would not be rape if it stopped there, but it would be a bit more than just "taking the initiative."

[SenZen]

The only rape that I believe we would see (I don't believe for a second there would be rape though) in this story is because Hisao going nuts because of depression. Other than that, well, outdoors maybe?

The only kind of rape i can imagine is some sort of badend where you're ambiguous with -insert heroine here- and not on a particular route. Maybe you get drunk with kenji and decide to thwart the female conspirators with some double penetration and then you HNNNNNNNNG and die. I certainly wouldn't mind a badend sex route like one in tsukihime where you -insert spoilers here-

[TipsyRooster]

Rin's is going to be hilarious.
Though Hisao will have the pleasure of stripping her, though it isn't like she could get Emi to do it for her...
Or COULD she?

[blackrising]

Well, I don't think there are only two options for the sex scenes, namely "OHMYODI'MGOINGTOJIZZALLOVERYOURFACE" or the purple prose variant.
There are many ways to write a rather kinky scene while being perfectly tasteful. (Then again, it probably depends on what you deem kinky...)

Somehow, I'm worried about what words will be used, since I'm really picky when it comes to that. No matter how good the scene was until then, as soon as the word "pussy" is uttered, for example, everything I might have been feeling at that point vanishes into thin air.
Though I'm working on being able to ignore that...-.-
That might be just me, though.

AND on what you deem tasteful...

[Bringerof_D]

I think it will be the second one. The devs said they wanted to be tasteful

i dunno, Shizune seems like the sadistic type, Emi clearly riding on top, and as for Rin...well she's probably going to wanna try some weird things on Hisao

Over here "OHGODSEMENEVERYWHERE!" and "AHHH I'M GOING BLIND!" is not considered tasteful.

^i think that's why

as for rape, no. not gonna happen. Hisao's heart cant handle that type of action, as well as it probably being out of the "tasteful" category.

I just thought about if it goes the other way though. Not Hisao who goes after the girl but the girl going after Hisao causing him to have a heart attack; BAD END.

I think Bringerof_D is right here. It's like Britain sort of. They were always stiff upper-lip kind of people, and yet their comedy tends to be over the top and wacky, like Monty Python or Benny Hill. So with sexual repression, there could probably be the same kind of thing.

[G0t0]

I wouldn't be surprised if trying to have sex too early in the game would lead to a bad end.
Kinda like the Jack romance in Mass Effect 2, sure you can have kinky sex early on, but it could destroy any chance of romance you would have had with them.

[Bara]

No matter what they write for the sex scenes they WILL catch flack for it being too much, or too little, or too whatever. First and last, they should focus on making a scene that adds to the story and character which they as a writer and member of the Dev team can be proud of; or at least live with. Let the chips fall where they may otherwise, cause with sex, every ones opinion is different and they tend to be strong opinions.

[ContinualNaba]

Or we could, y'know, for a change of pace, trust that the devs aren't screaming retarded man-apes.

Shocking, I know.
