Hm. Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I liked the sex. It wasn't really arousing to me, and it read more as "the characters are having sex and this is part of the story" than "this is porn for the viewer's arousal." The way it was drawn wasn't closeups of genitals, it was just... this is what's happening, okay. It wasn't always used effectively, but there were times that showing the sex helped the story out rather than weighing it down.

Going to try to be vague here, but on one path, the characters had sex when they were in a really bad place emotionally. It was depressing and a little worrying and it was supposed to be- one of them just wanted to feel something, and the other wanted to be connected in whatever way they could get. It was a really intense, desperate, awful moment, and I don't know if there would have been a better way than bad-idea-sex to show that. The sex scene on that path in the good end shows that they understand each other better and they can be close without having to go back to that dark place again. In another path, the main character can cheat on his girlfriend with another girl... and the way the relationship's been going, it's almost understandable if he does. The other girl's expression during the sex scene is soul-crushing if you've got any sympathy for her at all, and it shows better than anything that this really wasn't the answer and doesn't make anything better, not for the main character, and definitely not for the other girl. On yet another path, a character doesn't like the way they assume their partner sees them, so they initiate sex in order to prove in a very definite way that they're the kind of person who can. It's a huge shift, shocking, and awkward as fuck, but it's what that person wanted, and actually seeing it did more to show what they were trying to do. And on a lighter note, to finish it off, one of one character's sex scenes demonstrates a lot about their personality... through really funny bad sex.

Again, it was not always done well, and I think the writing could have been tightened up a lot even in the scenes that worked for me. But I think sex did have a purpose here, and it felt more honest than many "young people falling in love and figuring things out" stories that don't really deal with sex at all.

I see! I'm glad they weren't just tacked on. I was going by the reactions I've seen in various places to the game.

I will never, ever get over the scene in the shed. I'm so glad my partner doesn't have a penis, because if we ever tried to have sex and it was even a little bit similar, I would die laughing and never fuck again.
