discussion How often do you guys play as the opposite sex?

[Chrissy]

Playing as a girl in adult games can be fun if I can really immerse myself into the female character. In this case I can enjoy sex with male characters (since it's basically straight sex) which I absolutely don't like when playing as "myself". While I have no problem with gay people, I can't imagine gay sex for myself.

Probably like 1 out of 10 games. The ones that are written well can be great fun, but like the male protagonist games, if the story isn't good, it completely ruins the experience.

Most of the times when I get a choice I randomize it but when I choose I tend to go for the opposite

 

[User_133943]

Pretty much never. But in normal games it's usually fine if there's no choice and it's a good game.

Given a choice in 18+ games i pick female. Games like Skyrim, Fallout and Dragon's Dogma i usually pick female

I prefer men's customization games, predefined women have great designers, ex nier, stellar blade, resident, +18 whatever.

Recently played the abandoned Wife and mother game and had only an OK experience. Just can't envision myself "in the game."

Interesting, now that I think about it...
In normal RPGs 50/50, in adult games 99% male. Female kind of feels like NTR, and I hate NTR...

In visual novels, I prefer to play as the male character. Being that I am male, it is preferred, bit not necessary. Playing the female role can be greatly enjoyable as well.

I do much prefer to play the femsle protagonist in video games. Monster hunter world was the opener to that for me. I like the female models and armor much more than the male charcters.

 

[Aster Ater]

Regular games it's probably 75/25 male/female. I pretty much avoid all female protag adult games, I'm not sure exatly why but I just can't get into them. Maybe the mismatch between the character's experience and my own is lot more pronounced when I'm touching my junk

 

[MattShizzle]

In adult games? Never. In regular video games it's fine if they're hot, which was common before but almost impossible now in Western gaming.

When did that stop?

 

[kodex]

As much as possible. I love female protag games, as long as I can play a full lesbian playthrough. Not interested in other dudes.

 

[CristianRed]

I'm not excited to play as a female character, so 0.

 

[TheHunter]

I think the only games I played as fem was cyberpunk and The Office.
Cyberpunk only because of Judy iykyk

 

[peyiwe95]

Tried it a couple of times, but it just doesn't work for me.

 

[blogg]

I only play guys because lesbian harem games are very rare.
If more devs would tend to my needs, i'd never play male protagonists in adult games.

And obviously i prefer chargens or at least a gender choice in other games. That forced male protagonist bullshit is an outdated concept for atavistic, lazy or misogynic studios and is only acceptable if its a spinoff/addon from books or movies (i dont ask for a female hobbit or a female captain on any enterprise bridge in a canon story game).

Agree

 

[Kernist]

I usually try to avoid it.

 

[Coomer1887]

A good 50% I love me some lesbian content but sucks when 80% of female protag games are always corruption to gangbang slut. I just want lesbo romance.

 

[ilikecereal]

I see a lot of people bashing the idea of femprotag, but to me making a female choose to be mega slutty is kind of hot.

When did that stop?

Around 2016, when half the Western world contracted an incurable mind virus.
