It won't be long before we start working, finally, on Asterion's NSFW content. This is what we've all been waiting and building up for, it's hard to express just how hyped we are for it.

We have quite a few ideas for what we want to do, but it's always healthy hearing what you guys want. It gives us a fresh perspective, which can be a game changer considering how we can get tunnel vision from putting so many hours into the game.

Feel free to throw your ideas to see what sticks, but to give some direction I'm giving you these questions. Answer whichever ones you feel comfortable answering — and if you see in this thread a response you're into, give it an upvote.

Without further ado:

1. What are things, sexual positions, acts and/or kinks you'd like the MC and Asterion to explore together?
2. If the MC had the chance to rile up/tease/excite Asterion, what would you like him to do? (For the sake of the discussion, assume that Asterion gave the MC permission to have some fun.)
3. Similarly, what do you think Asterion would do to tease/rile up/excite the MC?
4. Is there something you'd like R&D to do that would, intentionally or not, provide a chance for a NSFW scene? (For example, building a sauna.) 
5. Is there something you'd like the MC and Asterion to do, but you are not sure if Asterion would be comfortable? If yes, what?
6. If the MC's been more reassuring, dominant, bolder with physical contact, Asterion can become more bashful and really get into it. As a player who's been more dominant to Asterion, is there anything you'd like the MC to be able to do to tease him? Or something in NSFW scenes?
7. Likewise, if you have NOT been particularly dominant, what would you like to see?
8. What do you think Asterion is into? Feel free to speculate.

1. i think asterion would be a soft top if the player isnt really dominant 

2. stuff amongst the lines of "my precious little moo" and probably nipple play

3. for a less dominant mc i think asterion flexing would work and for a more dominant mc having asterion say things along the lines of "make me~"

4. the sauna works really well i dont have anything to add to that 

5. perhaps soft bdsm? not sure

6. i think the soft top asterion works so ima gonna say have the mc tease him by sitting on his lap and grinding into asterion

7. asterion being more self confident and making some *bold* decisions 

8. i dont really have anything popping into my head but i would like to see any ideas you guys perhaps have

hmmmm only thing that really comes to mind for me is double ended dildo action if both asterion and MC want to bottom since most of the commenters given ideas i had in mind. Or just toys in general for all your bottom moo's needs. 

im a kink nut lol i love super doms and love watersports but i think astereon mught be a soft top till hes more comfortable with the role then get progressively dom if MC is submissive id like to see him ask for advice from some of the other patrons in private like Luke i like their interactions together;) i think as a bottom Astereon  would be super submissive and be into leather or nipple play but would hate bondage to put a nice spin on things. As a wierd quirk i think he would be not exactly aloof but blunt when asking about sex but top or bottom hed ask the others about it in secret (testing his freedom so to speak by doing things privately)

1. For position, probably a traditional one that allows the CG(s) to include the MC's dick, Ass-terion's ass and dick at the same time. Personally, nipple play, rimming, lactation would be most appreciated. Since we don't want to hurt Asterion, let's pamper him and be gentle to him

2. For now, I can only think of kabedon-ing him, squeezing his butt and petting his tail

3. Grinding his glute in the MC's crotch, or squeezing his own boobs and cheeks in front of the MC (you know which cheeks I'm talking about)

4. An erotic massage room, with Asterion as the massager

5. No, just ask Asterion before doing anything to him

6. Put him in a leash or tie him up (in their quarter only, thank you very much)

7. Pass

8. As mentioned above, nipple play, slammed against a wall, having his tail played with. Oh right, forgot about the musk

1. I think some soft slave play might work really well. Have Asterion really want to pamper the MC, play up how he's always been trying to put himself in a subordinate role, let him really go wild with that. Maybe make Asterion have to talk MC into letting him do so, especially if they've made lots of "stop calling me master" choices. There's ways to eroticize the MC's ability to give "orders" and (on top of being HOT) it's a not uncommonly reported method of taking agency over past abuse, to turn it into kinky scenarios (though it should be emphasized that this isn't an approach that automatically works for everyone.)
2. You could use the "control over Asterion's body" to some interesting effect, I think. Maybe as simple as a "...so what happens if I just ORDER you to become horny? Does that work?"
3. I can see Asterion spouting extremely elegant and extravagant, to the point of being a little self consciously silly, poetic praises of whatever part of MC's body his lips happen to on right now.
4. 'Sauna' is definitely good. But I'd also consider having horny possible extensions to already existing R&D projects, if they are completed AFTER the relationship becomes sexual. The Gym and the Pool come to immediate mind as good possibilities.
5. I think Asterion might conceivably be uncomfortable with a sling/sex swing, or anything which might remind him of the cow Daedalus built Pasiphae. 
6. The scene where the MC examines the nose ring, and handling it put Asterion almost into a trance, seems me to be foreshadowing horny applications. Like, gentle pressure down on it to get him on his knees, for example.
7. Asterion's got far too much chest and torso in general to not be able to use it to good effect. Like just bury MC's face between his pecs.
8. I think Asterion's the kind of person who falls in love with someone over a shared task (like, well, running a hotel) But like, the kind of "collaborators to friends to lovers" path. So i think he'd like some activity that then turns into passionately making out. I could see him getting the kind of performance anxiety that comes from having to initiate sex from like a cold start, as it were. I could see him much preferring sort of semi-spontaneous "oh you're brushing my back, oh, something about this feels good..." kind of scenario. Similarly, I could see him liking scenarios where he doesn't have to think about things, doesn't have to make decisions, where he can just be told "use your physical strength and sexy man-body in such and such a way." He'd be submissive because he's got the kind of personality that feels the guilty and therefore more uncomfortable with the sex the more responsible for it they are, so he'd like someone else to call the shots.

1. I can’t speak much for the question as it relates the MC being in the dominant position, but I could definitely see some potential pet play combined with role reversal where the Asterion is filling the role of “master” while the MC is the “servant”/ “Pet”. Some other options might be having them explore sensory deprivation, or in the case of a fully dominant Asterion in late chapters, potentially having the MC fill the role of a service top. Although tbh it would be great to see Asterion potentially taking the top position alongside his bottom position. Having Asterion overstimulate the MC would also be really nice.
2. For sure could see the MC playing with either Asterion's tail, his chest, or his nose ring as part of getting him aroused. I could also see the MC showering Asterion with praise as part of getting the bull more into it.
3. Honestly I’d love to see Asterion becoming more bold and start teasing the MC about their roles. I could see him doing a sort of “you can look but don’t touch” act when he’s stripped down to either just underwear or fully nude. Maybe coming up behind the MC while they’re working and just whispering in their ear about what Asterion wants to do the MC/questioning the MC about what precisely he wants Asterion to do to him.
4. The idea of a sauna is one that is particularly appealing for an NSFW scene. Although the gym is already in the game, I could see a nude shower scene/locker room scene in the gym working well. I could totally see a theater/cinema being a good location to develop with R&D that leads to a little fun in the darkened room between MC and Asterion.
5. Bondage definitely fits this category. It’s something I’d love to see them explore, but I don’t know if I can really picture Asterion being totally cool with it. At least at first.
6. Don’t really have much of an answer for this one, so I’ll skip it for now.
7. I’d think a good answer to this might be having Asterion gradually become more dominant over time, with or without the MCs intervention. I understand the prevailing opinion is that Asterion’s pretty heavily a sub but it would be interesting to see him fleshed out more as a true verse, rather than having a particular leaning innately. Honestly just getting to see Asterion acting more confident and dominant on his own over time would be great I think. 
8. Off the top of my head, nipple play and musk come to mind. Continuing off of my prior answer, I could rather easily see him being into either position in either case for what he’s into.

The way I RAN to make an account to reply to this topic. I am so very excited to hear you are working on this and I love the fact that you are encouraging community engagement for it. You guys are the best. 

1. I think with Asterion being our precious virgin star, it would be most appropriate to continue the “slow-burn” approach the novel has had so far. Before the actually sex, it would be great to have a scene or two (or ten) where the lovers engage in more innocent acts. That said, when it comes to the sex, I think it would only be appropriate story-wise for the first time to be very vanilla missionary with lots of eye contact. Imagine a CG where MC is knocking on the back door and decides to have a taste. To have the bull look down over his body and past his bull-hood to make flustered eye contact with his love who is gently tonguing his South Star — the bull being completely enraptured by new sensations after millennia of misery and torture — would be poetry. I want to see every involuntary reaction from that bull’s face as he finally gets his chance to feel real carnal pleasure. When the entry is made, I want that eye contact and closeness to continue. Asterion being the strong man he is, would be able to power bottom his way into a closer and more intimate position where the two are able to kiss and feel each other and bask in each other’s love while engaging in this, the ultimate act of intimacy. Once the bull acclimates himself to the feeling of receiving his sweetheart’s sex, I want to see the fleeting away of momentary pain melt into not just carnal pleasure, but loving correctness. Finally after so long, the bull is exactly where he ought to be doing what deserves. He wanted this for so much longer than he even realized. I want his first act to culminate in feelings of love that he — and quite possibly MC — never thought attainable. 
2. I’d love a scene where a tender cuddle looking out the window turns a bit more daringly explorative vis a vis groping, necking, extended making out. Fluster. That. Bull. Tug on his nose ring, kiss along his neck until you find the spot that makes him moan the loudest, twirl his tail in your fingers, grope his bara tiddies, flick his nipple, trace the outline of his bull hood in his pants. I have full confidence that the writers have thought extensively about this and will deliver.
3. Then a scene where our bull turns the tables on MC would be chef’s kiss. If MC has expressed being flustered by having Asterion mount him, it would only be poetic to have Asterion exert that over MC in a more sexually exciting way: extended necking, nipple play, groping, etc. leading to Asterion making the next step to hand stuff and mouth stuff. Verbal teasing throughout all of this is almost assumed. 
4. Sauna makes the most sense here. I don’t think I have too much to add that others haven’t already said.
5. Throughout the novel so far, MC has been rightfully cautious and aware of the bull’s feelings, so I don’t think it would be very appropriate for him to cross lines with sexual acts or kinks, but what I think might actually happen is that, while drunk, the MC might get frisky while him and Asterion are in the public areas of the hotel. I could see this causing a bit of a disagreement between the two of them.
6. I think I addressed this earlier when I got carried away by horny thoughts.
7. Asterion seems to have a side of him that wants the MC to be more dominant. I would love to see Asterion become a power bottom in this case. It would be interesting to create a dynamic where Asterion encourages the MC into situations where MC explores the bull’s body. An “I’ll close my eyes. Touch me wherever you’d like” sort of scene would be magical. (I'm drawing inspiration from Brogulls by AntiDev here.)
8. I think Asterion would be into extended foreplay and kissing for sure. Teasing verbally and physically seems to be his favorite way to encourage intimacy. I think he would be just as much into smelling natural body odors as the MC seems to be. EDGING. Hoo boy. A scene where MC edges a big bull load out of Asterion would be GOTY stuff. I think just the lightest form of bondage would make sense. Nothing more than a linen tied to a bed post or even self restraint by way of holding his hands behind said bed post while the MC has his way with Asterion’s body. I could see Asterion being really into MC’s cum — like an “anything you create is perfect” sort of angle. 

I’m going to stop myself here. I don’t want to gush too much. (Double entendre unintended) but thank you all again for this wonderful novel and this opportunity to voice our opinions and desires about it. <3 

1. For sexual positions they should try the cowgirl for obvious reasons, also Asterion's pectorals demand worship and they should attempt the ultimate kink of being a married couple.
2. Asterion acts all innocent and naive but with all his experience he actually knows how to be very manipulative, and i'd like for MC to learn how to notice and call out on that feingned naivety.
3. Probably what he already does, of calling him my lord, my king, perhaps he could go even further and call him my god or daddy.
4. Something like a dark room or sex dungeon. I understand this would be unusual for an hotel but there's no reason we shouldn't have and unapologetic culturaly gay facility within the hotel.
5. Experiment with the hotel magic to make some body modifications on Asterion just for fun. Like changing his genitalia or making him more beast like. This could get uncomfortably kinky depending on what you do, but that was the point of the question.
6. Perhaps some casual and inappropriate teasing, maybe tease on what Asterion would like to happen if the guests were to have their way with him.
7. Power bottom Asterion, i rather dislike that the default for bottoms is to be submissive, i prefer when the bottom calls the shots and express the fun their are having.
8. Maybe a date by the pool, it seems that water makes him feel at home due to his lineage. with some private playing of the lyre that has been a constant form of entertainment even when he was in isolation.

1. I personally am fine with any position.

2. Assuming Asterion is fine with it, then some thinly veiled promises, less SFW PDA, etc.

3. Refer to answer 2.

4. Sauna, a hot spring, things like that. Also, while not R&D, it would be interesting to create a new, binding contract that forces both to abide by a safe word and requires both parties to consent before sex.

5. I feel Asterion might be alright with certain public displays (see answers below), but draw the line at full on public sex, so if the room has no lock, no sex. Personally, I'd enjoy some optional watersports content, but am unsure how he would feel about it. Potential threesomes seem like they're a no-go. BDSM is off the table, but leather might still be appealing to him.

6. A few public ass grabs or a foot on his bulge below the dining area table. 

7. Trapping the MC against a wall for some flirting/teasing, some quick gropes during a hug. For some scenes, I'd enjoy the option for a dominant bottom Asterion.

8. I feel Asterion might have developed a slight praise kink, maybe a breeding kink, musk seems likely. He'd love more soft, tender lovemaking mixed in with some of the kinkier stuff, in my opinion.

I have another thought that isn't directly about sex with Asterion, but the consequences afterwards.

News travels fast around the hotel, so I'd love a scene where Luke being Luke gets a devilish grin on his face and approaches MC saying something along the lines of "So I've heard you had some angus" or "So you fucked the minotaur" (something with an innuendo haha) and while MC is getting a bit embarrassed by Luke being so direct, Asterion sneaks up behind Luke, leans down, and blurts out "Yup" or some kind of confirmation in a way that unexpectedly and completely flusters Luke.

I think the tables being turned on Luke would be really funny, and it would be a nice scene where Asterion is confident in his sexuality and relationship with MC. 

1. There's a lot to imagine, but a short list for me is oral with MC gripping Asterion's horns, doggy style with Asterion bottoming, cow girl with MC bottoming, and missionary with Asterion topping.

2. Tugging Asterion's tail or nose ring if he's wearing it. Another brushing scene but Mc brushing lower and lower. Horny one liners, like complimenting Asterion's fingering technique when he plays his lyre, though that might be more Luke's thing than MC.

3.  Asterion throwing his weight around MC, like picking him up, dragging his through the hotel, or pinning him down/to a wall. When he does that one smoldering stare too, that alone works like a charm.

4. A movie theater would be a really fun and romantic project, a screening room for a couple dozen people, and as the movie runs Asterion and MC hold hands in the dark... Or an observatory on top of the hotel, so Luke can map the stars, but afterwards MC and Asterion have a passionate moment under the stars. An art studio where everyone can workshop and create but also MC and  Asterion can mess around. Having a project that's only available to your chose background in a cool idea and a lot can come from that.

5. Maybe some butt slapping, or rougher sex. That as far as I'd go.

6. MC giving "orders" for Asterion to pose for him (maybe if MC has the Arts background he'd draw him in lewd positions). Touching or groping that minotaur in public but just out of sight of other guests, the risk of getting caught. Maybe MC could conjure up sextoys for Asterion and just leave them  in his room.

7. MC pampering the minotaur, brushing and  rubbing oils in his fur, massaging his legs and hooves, feeding him meals that MC cooked. Showering him with compliments to his size, scent, warmth, etc.

8. Maybe role reversal where he's the "master" and MC is the "prisoner" and he'll "treat you  the way you treat me" role play. Asterion is a bottom  [certainly] and loves all things related to "serving" the MC but I think he REALLY wants TO WANT to top MC but needs encouragement to get there. He likes wrestling and it seems that would be part of the foreplay to him. It's my understanding that Asterion is most likely a virgin (unless things happened between him and childhood friend Phoenes) so I'm not sure if HE really knows what he wants aside from pleasing MC, who conversely just wants to please Asterion.

I'm really excited to see what happens between Asterion and MC, the art and story of this game are amazing! Can't wait to fuck the minotaur!
