[QUOTE="brevdravis, post: 932843, member: 11994"] [b]Sorry to bring this idea up so late...[/b] Ok, thanks for your opinions on the last couple of ideas. I appreciate the feedback. I was doing some thinking on the Male gratification issue. Right now, let's be honest, we're giving male characters a little to much credit in the staying power area. Con score climax before exhaustion is too much. BUT, resetting back to the Con bonus +1 screws up the equality. I say we put it back to how it was before, but allow male characters to gain gratification from other sources. Here's my tentative ideas. They mess with the current climax save rules a little but I think they reflect male sexuality better. Holding back: When a male character chooses to make a save versus climax and succeeds, he immediately gains .5 gratification points. However, his next save is at a -1 penalty, and the gratification points only apply upon his next climax. If a round goes by without a save being made, the additional gratification points are lost. (For example, a guy who holds back four extended rounds will gain 2 additional gratification points from his next climax.) This represents the fact that men get gratification from the buildup to climax, and not just from orgasm. (The assumption is that the saves are representative of the partners skill in pleasing the male.) Superficial males: Despite men who claim to be just after a girl for her personality, men derive greater satisfaction from sleeping with an attractive woman than an unattractive woman. As a result, Males add or subtract their partner's charisma bonus or penalty from their total gratification for the encounter. Sorry to bring this one up so late, I think the gratification system we have now is great, but just a little tweaking might make it fantastic. Stuart [/QUOTE]
