discussion Sexual Orientation of MC and/or yourself and does it affect what you play?

[Kaeru]

Has to be a straight MC for me if I'm playing an adult game. I'm not gay or bisexual myself, so playing any other orientation wouldn't be that enjoyable.

 

[jackycain68]

smash all

 

[DanteXicp]

As long as the game is fun and well-made, I don't mind.

The only gay scenarios I enjoy is when the mc is very dominant and he's dominating both a female and a very feminized male.

This applies to both AVN and Mainstream games. Pretty much always will be playing as a straight male since I am one, so I won't be playing games where I'm not a straight male. There are people that play games and they self-insert themselves as the MC specially if they let us rename them.
If it can be renamed, then I view the MC as "me" in that world, and would pretty much act like I'm really there.

That's why when the keywords used for the game is "Choose you own adventure" or "Shape your MC how you want him to be"
and the dev makes it where the MC likes something or is into something that I don't, then I'm playing someone else that isn't me now and it affects my enjoyment of that game since then it's now false advertising.

It's fine when there's already a defined character for that MC like in some mainstream video games available. Take Geralt from The Witcher for example, he already has a set personlity & you can't rename him to something like Zeruel. I play the game through Geralt, not me. I CAN decide what Geralt chooses to do, but it mostly becomes what I THINK Geralt will do in that situation.

Any other game where you can name your character like in Fallout and such, I'll name them Zeruel and you bet I'll be doing everything as if that really was me in that world. There are cases like In Cyberpunk 2077, the MC, has a nickname you can't change, V. But you can shape how you want V to be since there isn't a defined character to what V is so that's fine with me. Take Shepard from Mass Effect Trilogy as well, they'll keep calling me Shepard but I have full control on what the character of Shepard will be.

I can only play lesbian female protagonists, not even in games i would bend over for a dick, not happening, never.
For the very same reason i would never play a gay male protagonist, one dick is the maximum i can stomach...also a sidereason why i hate ntr and prostitution games.

 

[Mister Raptor]

I'll play straight men and lesbian women. Nothing else.

 

[Lucumo]

I avoid games where the MC is not straight. Lesbian used to be kinda fine but meh, not really anymore.

 

[alperburaksteam]

I don't play when the orientation of MC is not the same with mine, female or male prot. doesn matter though.

 

[kisane]

For me the MC needed to straight, only on rare occasion i will enjoy a futa or lesbian MC

 

[Loliholic]

I don't play when the orientation of MC is not the same with mine, female or male prot. doesn matter though.

So guessing you are a straight guy that would mean you'd rather play a dickhunting straight female protagonist then a pussyhunting lesbian?

 

[Varrilete]

I like shemales irl and in games, but I dont like gay games and in irl

 

[cog_carmine]

[conzibald]

It is normal for the MC to have the same sexual condition as the player, this makes the immersion in the game more real. I would have a hard time playing a game where the MC has relationships with someone he wouldn't have relationships with in real life.

Although the truth is that I play games where the MC is a Futa as long as the relationship with the other characters is female, even if the MC is a straight male (as I consider myself) I have no problems with him having relationships with a Futa/Trans. I would do it in real life?, because I don't know, it hasn't happened.

The problem with playing with a female character is the same one that I find that if the MC is gay, I don't feel comfortable, I don't find him attractive. Of course, it is a lesbian relationship without problems .

 

[CaptainBucky]

If I play as a gay character, it's because I'm playing as a female character. I can roleplay either gender, but I can't pretend to be attracted to (at least most) men. And especially not the men that show up in gay sex games.

 

[azur]

Personally, nothing shocks me, the variables of fantasies are multiple and it's not going to influence my choices or my sexual orientation. (traduction .deepl.com)

 

[Augustus]

I think broadening ones horizons a bit is a good thing. I'm a straight male, but I like to play bi male and female characters. Straight male is ok. Gay MC doesn't appeal to me, neither does straight female MC. Lesbian mc is okayish - but who's gonna knock her up then? Lesbian but zoophile is great.

 

[arget]

I usually prefer a male protagonist but other than that I don't realy mind since I'm bi

 

[purplerat]

Only if it's POV type. I usually don't consider myself the MC in most games, unless it needs me to like in POVs. By then I can't play it if the MC is a female...
