Hello, thanks for the quick response, nice to see you're keeping track of users' feedback! And I have some intriguing news:

Yesterday night I've attempted to raise Obedience via traditional slaver's means:  unlocked intimacy with Maple, tied her with a rope and used a bunch of S&M actions. Stress and Obedience skyrocketed and she acquired "Likes it rough" trait (really didn't want to do that with a lady, but needs must). After that, as an experiment, I've removed all luxuries, set her up in a communal room and clicked through 6-7 days straight to see the dynamics. And guess what? No. Obedience. Change. It stayed exactly where it ended up after the sex session.

Point is, before doing that, I've only focused on raising loyalty without taking advantage, and you know where it got me... I'll get back home and check if I still have any saves where she is without intimacy unlock. Failing that, I'll start a new game and see if the situation repeats itself. 

But omg. Imagine if that was the coded punishment for refusing to screw her... *mind blown* XD
