I'm sorry if I'm being a bother. But I keep thinking about this game and the parallels between the main characters depression and my own.
The main character believes all kinks and fetishes should be accepted. I understand being open-minded is good. But how you can accept some things that go against who you are? For me BDSM, cheating, gore porn, beastiality, and other super hardcore stuff just disgust me. And my sister accused me of being a baby. Not saying those things are things I should like. But that because I was too scared to leave my comfort zone and always stick to just romance and sweetness that it closed doors on any relationships outside of highschool.
I've been accused of being boring and approaching relationships like a Disney movie character. But to me I feel like I reduce myself to a panting lowly animal if I just ignore my sexual hang-up. And act on lust, comfort zone be damned.
I don't know what to do to find woman that would be sync up with me. Even in the game I tried to focus on Bri, Lea, and Jen the most. Seeking to just have romance and happy regular sex. But my sister and "friends" say that doesn't maintain an adult relationship. Being wild, sneaking around, spicing things up does. But that's not who I am.
(Slight spoilers)
I'm not even into exhibition but I liked Lea so I endured it to make sure she knew I was interested. I didn't like Deb that much but I figure when she showed kindness that her domme moment would be gentle and loving and not full of insults. I'm still unhappy I played out that one. It wasn't as bad as it could be. But it didn't feel right. Bri I never got past friends. And Jen I let her know I love her but refused to have sex with to keep from ruining her and the main character's life. We just cuddled. And with Kim it was the final straw. No way I could go full Snake for that. I got no beef with Pete to justify that.
What I'm asking is, do you think I've wasted 15 yrs of my life thinking being loving and compassion would trump my laundry list of sexual hang-ups? Hang-ups that run so deep I can't even bring myself to explore them in a game without feeling uncomfortable.
