After 2-3 hours of reading and no mention of anything remotely intimate, much less sexual (I started with Hanako by the way), I began to get the impression that it wasn't going to be in there at all. When the sex scenes finally did show up it felt pretty out of place, but looking back, they've really settled in for me and I feel that they ultimately weren't, especially for what they brought to Hanako's story and character.

I've been recommending KS to people, occasionally trying to entice my female friends by saying that it has 'nudity, yes, sex, yes, but no fanservice'... And I think maybe that's not entirely accurate, some of those scenes are pretty indulgent... Shizune, I'm looking at you. However, I still feel confident recommending it despite the sex even to my female friends, and I definitely think they work well for the story and feel more or less natural (at least, compared to 99.9% of other dating sims / porn games out there).

Also, I feel like the worst person on the planet for laughing as hard as I did at the censor image for Hanako's scene.
Shame on 4LS for knowing how goddamn funny that is. =w=

I recommended KS to my friends as well. The only one who actually downloaded it immediately started laughing when I told him about Emi.
To quote him "You have anal with a loli? Really?" I was like:

"That's not the point, and that scene is more comedy than anything else"

I just tell them to go download it and ignore the alarm bells that go off in their head when they realize what it is. =w=

Ahh, that explains it.

A lady friend on Second Life asked about sex scenes when I suggested she try it, and she kinds eek'ed when I told her. But yeah, I don't see any point in even bringing it up unless asked. I mean hell, Titanic has one topless scene, and a pretty steamy sex scene. You don't hear people going on that its a porno flick do you? Seems like VN's get a raw deal sometimes.

Do Rin and Hanako has normal sexual drives, or are have they just suppressed that part of their personalities so deeply that they seem to barely exist. Rin maybe, since she has more important things on her mind. But Hanako? I can see her having a lot of pent up passion just waiting to burst out. A bit like in her bad ending.

Or maybe its just wishful thinking.

My guess is that she didn't give much thought into sex as a whole. Personally, I came from a boy's school in middle school. When I got to high school, girls was not something "special". (Of course, didn't help that I was, and still is, a gamer.) I suspect Hanako diverts a lot of her passion into her reading, visualising how the characters would actually go about with the plot. And.... I don't know her genre preference. Fiction? Non-fiction? Fantasy? History? Big gaps there.

The only book we see her reading (well the only one we're given the title of) is Life of Pi. Which is fiction (and a pretty good book, I need to find where my copy went XD)

Googled it quickly, came up with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance_Dance_Dance_(novel)
Seems like a fairly interesting premise, I think it's safe to say Hanako is into ficiton =)

In Shizune's and Rin's Act 4 h-scenes it feels slightly empty and tacked on, however in Shizune's case, restricting information! AAARRRGGH! It seems slightly oversexualized, however. Tell me, did you know six people who had an 86 centimeter bust and wheighed 100 pounds? Unlikely!
It was all more important to the story and less profane in the Act 3 scenes though. Certainly intimate and emotional, for the most part.
