Life Hacks/Dante's taboos and interests
Sexual history
Dante's mother has made it clear to him he is free to explore his own genitals at any time in the privacy of his bedroom or the bathroom, but also knows from his mother that most people freak out when children do that sort of thing. He agrees with her that there is nothing wrong with him touching himself, but has developed a very paranoid view of the world outside his house so far as what other people might think if they find out. He has been placed under the impression that everyone other than his mother is like she says his grandparents were on this subject.
Dante has come to realize there are a lot of things his mom does different from other parents, but has accepted that her methods are actually better than the rest of the world and based on what she has learned from the small number of people who know what they are talking about. He feels ashamed of sexual acts while interacting with people outside his family because he is paranoid about how they will react and that his mom might get in trouble and/or he will lose friends, but does not think there is actually a problem.
Once, while he was taking a bath with his sister and asked his mom about the slit between his sister's legs where a penis should be, he was invited to touch and explore his sister's privates and did so as she explained to him how a girl's privates were different. He figures his mom would not be averse to him repeating this exploration of her body on his own, but has not done so for fear that too much interaction with his sister and the things she likes will increase the amount of effeminate traits he has that he is so embarrassed about.
Sexual Knowledge
While Dante's mother has never hidden anything in regards to sex from him, she has only told him what he has asked and he has not even thought to ask about sex and reproduction. Due to his malnutrition, he has not developed the level of curiosity and inquisitive skills to draw out that line of thought.
- Knows what sex is?: No
- Knows where babies come from?: Knows about pregnancy, hasn't questioned how the baby gets there in the first place.
- Knows about semen?: No
Dante seems to have some awareness that women have some degree of choice in when they get pregnant, but hasn't questioned the mechanism behind how this happens and has never even thought a man might be involved in the process at some point.
Sexual interests (start of story)
- Curious about male genitals: (-20 to nudity with males)
Dante has gotten the chance to explore female genitals, and has had the chance to look at his sister on plenty of occasions in the bathtub, but he has never really had much chance to explore another set of male genitals aside from his own.
- Surrogate trust for mother: (Can use mother's trust stat under certain conditions)
Dante has 95% trust with his mother. Will give slightly uncomfortable consent to any sex act if his mother approves and is in the same room (assuming your own trust falls short of the required number.) Will give very uncomfortable consent to any person his mother seems to approve of at a trust level of 75% if she is not in the same room. (Again, assuming your own trust level falls short of the required number.)
Pending Sexual interests (requires triggers to activate)
Note: These first two triggers are mutually exclusive, the second one will over-write the first once activated. The first one will cause some resistance for the second one to activate.
- Copies Xander (- 50 on all sex acts he sees Xander performing on someone else)
Most of Dante's resistance to sex acts comes from the complex in his mind that it would make him more effeminate. If he sees an older boy like Xander who he has identified as a manly man doing a particular sex act, this will remove his resistance and very well may try to imitate it with his sister.
- Sissification: (Accepts role as female despite male anatomy)
Will prefer to think of himself as a female in a female role for sex acts with Xander over getting sexually active with girls. Trigger: Xander performing sex acts on him he has seen Xander do with girls, and/or encouragement by Xander for him to embrace his effeminate side. (Changing his gender with the duck and then switching it back will achieve this effect as well.)
- Idolizes Xander (-50 uncomfortable consent range on all sex acts with Xander)
Getting complete consent remains the same, but will allow a sex act 50 points short of what is needed to get complete consent. He/she will feel uncomfortable with it, but will not complain to Xander (except with his face,) or to anyone else. (Trigger: Regards Xander as a roll model. Must meet Xander and have him introduced as more than a passing acquaintance and have something to vouch for Xander's skills (being Roni's brother counts.))
Sexual resistances (start of story)
- Hesitant about female sexual touching: (+40 to mild sex acts or higher with a girl)
Dante's complex about contact with girls making him effeminate causes him to shy away from sexual contact with girls.
Pending sexual resistances (requires triggers to activate)
- No interest in sex: (Nulls the effects of acclimation and adds + 20 instead of the normal minus when groomed)
Dante/Danica are not actually interested in sex and will never initiate a sex act other than to grope and explore a set of male genitals witch he/she is curious about. Will only be talked in to other sex acts as a part of feeling the need to reciprocate having touched this person's genitals. Will feel a slight curiosity over new sex acts at first witch will make resistance levels normal despite lack of interest. This curiosity will wear off when acclimated to the act, and then by the time he/she is groomed he/she will regard that sex act as a nuisance that he/she just has to put up with because the guy who's penis and balls he/she is touching wants to do it. The +20 modifier once groomed counts for trust only. This modifier is eliminated if friendship exceeds the requisite value or romantic love exceeds 1/2 the requisite value. (Note: Might initiate a sex act if wanting to get the attention of someone he/she has a close relationship with who is neglecting him/her in order to have sex with someone else.)
- A-sexual's under 15 consent calculation: (Consent based on love or friendship score)
Upon loosing interest in a sex act due to initial curiosity wearing off, Dante will permit sex acts based on how much he otherwise likes his partner and wants them to do something that makes them happy. In addition to trust scores exceeding the required number, friendship scores must be completely above as well. Despite being under 15, romantic love also can play a factor by substituting for friendship at a X2 rate (romantic love is 1/2 required score or more.)
