Loving the book, thought I am a little lost as to how the sex is meant to flow mechanically. I'm sorry in advance if Its obvious and I missed it but, the section covering the actual topic is brief, and to me, is rather vague.

We are told to roll sex (dex) "to determine how good they are at pleasing the other" what is the mechanical outcome of the sex (dex) rolls? what happens to the winning and losing characters? Is this repeated for the duration? and if so how many times?

Then we determine the encounter time by both characters rolling composure (con) and are shown a time and DC chart. Are we using the higher or lower of the rolls or combining them to get the length of time sex lasts? or are we rolling against the DC on the chart at each time interval as the encounter goes on? Once we run out of time do the characters climax? gain or lose arousal?

Could you please give us an example as to how a sexual encounter is suppose to flow?

Ok so I can see how this could be a bit confusing. I changed some of these rules last minute so the formatting of the pages was already done, limiting the space I had to go into extra detail.

Firstly the Sex(dex) rolls are just to determine how good you are at pleasing your partner. So basically how good you are at sex in this particular encounter. This is more relevant in a roleplaying sense and less in a mechanical one. For instance if you are sleeping with someone to gain information then better sex will mean more information etc.

(Originally I wanted the Sex(dex) roll to affect your partners Composure(con) rolls, adding or subtracting time. But I couldn't find a way to do it that wasn't needlessly complicated)

Next your Composure(con) roll determines how long you can last before climax. Males have to wait after climax before they can get aroused again (10-15 minutes) but females can continue the sex immediately after their first climax. So if the male finishes first, it is likely that the female will not get to climax at all. Males can continue to pleasure their partner with their hands or toys after climax but they cannot gain arousal during this time.

If a female climaxes before their partner they can roll Composure(con) again to see if they can climax again. (though I didn't write it down in the book I would probably make subsequent composure rolls at disadvantage if you already climaxed during that sexual encounter)

And it should be noted that these mechanics are specific to sex outside of combat. Combat sex has a completely different system of rules. So stuff like arousal points don't really come up in regular sex. I hope this all clarifies things.
