Life Hacks/Modifiers for consent scores
Modifiers to the consent requirements listed in the 1st link. These are any factor that might alter how some or all sex acts might have their required scores raised or lowered.
Previous intention modifiers
Situational modifiers to the score necessary based on whether or not the person you are trying to perform a sex act with was thinking the same thing or not.
- Partner is averse to the sex act at this time: (+20)
- Partner was not thinking about this sex act for better or worse: (0 modifier)
- Partner had a sex act of a higher level on their mind but intends not to do it (yet): (-20)
- Partner had this sex or one of a similar level on their mind and wants to do it: (-50)
- Partner was ready to initiate this sex act or one of a higher level themselves: (Eliminates all relationship score requirements.)
Sexual knowledge modifiers
A child who lacks in sexual knowledge will not have quite as strong a taboo against certain things, so depending on on the score it may be easier to get them to do certain things. The list above assumes complete sexual knowledge and all the natural social defenses that make a person resist sexual activity. Therefore, all the items listed here are things that subtract from sexual resistance.
Note: This is where the math might get really complicated. % reduction effects come into the game here. Please do not get too bogged down with it all. Again, these are meant as guide-lines, and it really matters more for writers than for readers. Even for a writer though, the recommendation would be to give these a quick once-over and then approximate the scores while you are writing. Being off by a few points is acceptable.
On the note of complicated percentages, a score cannot be reduced below 25% of its standard levels. The one exception to this rule is if body shame levels are below 25%, in witch case the body shame score becomes the new minimum percentage.
Sense of body shame and sexual resistance
A child usually begins to learn body shame at around 18 months, but it must be re-enforced by the parents and peer group to take full effect. The process of learning body shame is gradual, and it is usually age 6-8 that it has really sunk in and reached 100%.
Body shame is the concept that tells a person that it is wrong to show their naked privates to other people, and also that it is wrong to have their privates touched by another person or to touch another person's privates. Usually at this age they do not have a very strong interest in touching another person's privates unless invited to do so.
Body shame levels determine how many times a sex act needs to be done with a person in order to be considered "aclimated" or "groomed." These are as follows. (Note, kissing only counts once toward mild sex acts.)
- 10%: Groomed = 3 occurrences, aclimated = 1 occurrence (counts intensities by 40 point increments)^
- 30%: Groomed = 6 occurrences, aclimated = 2 occurrences (counts intensities by 20 point increments)
- 50%: Groomed = 9 occurrences, aclimated = 3 occurrences (counts intensities by 20 point increments)
- 70%: Groomed = 12 occurrences, aclimated = 4 occurrences (counts intensities by 10 point increments)
- 90%: Groomed = 15 occurrences, aclimated = 5 occurrences (counts intensities by 5 point increments)
^Note: Intensities counted by 40 point increments means benign and dismissable sex acts are regarded as the same category, as are mild and moderate sex acts.
There are some things that can cap potential body shame levels at a level below 100% even after age 8. These are as follows. (Note: There are exceptions, but this is the standard that can be predicted.)
- No strong social reinforcement: Cap = 20%
- Raised as a Naturist(Nudist): Cap = 80% sexual touching, 5% nudity and exposure (consider them groomed for purposes of nudity and exposure by you simply saying that you are comfortable with their nudity.)
- Someone engaged in grooming behaviors with them before age 6: Cap = 100% - 20% per level of grooming completed.
- Casually engages in skimpy dressing or exhibitionist behaviors: Cap = 60%
- Mother dresses immodestly or behaves is a sexually permiscuous manner: Cap = 80%
- Age 5: Cap = 80%
- Age 4: Cap = 60%
- Age 3: Cap = 40%
- Age 2: Cap = 20%
- Age 18 months: Cap = 5%
Knowledge of sexual mechanics
How well a child or teen knows about the basic mechanics of sex. All negative values here apply to the moderate and hard-core sex act categories only.
- Does not know how babies are made: (PIV sex = 70)
Will perform sexual acts without concern for the consequences if they do not know what the consequences are.
- Does not know sex makes babies: (-20 to PIV sex)
Has learned about sex but does not know this is how babies are made. The resulting curiosity without concern for the consequences makes them a lot more willing to do it.
- Does not know what the opposite gender's genitals look like: (-10)
Will be less guarded about showing their genitals to or have their genitals touched by the opposite gender if they think the other gender looks the same as them.
- Has an incorrect concept of how to prevent pregnancy: (-5)
Incorrectly thinks they won't get pregnant or get a girl pregnant, a little less reserved about sex as a result.
Internalization of social-sexual values
Regardless of how well a child may know or not know the mechanics of sex and no matter how much they have been taught to be modest, they have to actually internalize it and take it on as their own values in order for it to really take effect. Otherwise, they only follow these rules if there is an enforcer around.
These negative values only apply for children under 14 (except for the mid-puberty trait,) and only if they think they can avoid detection by an authority figure they feel will have a negative reaction to them doing this.
- 12 or younger (all mild or higher sex acts except kissing are multiplied by body shame to determine consent)
Up until around age 8 or 9, a child has no real concept of sex or sexuality even if they have learned the textbook information. From 10 to 12, their concepts of sex and sexuality are just developing and not really defined yet, and they are often experimenting with the concepts. As such, they have no strong hang-ups about acts like sexual intercourse other than to acknowledge they are more serious than normal groping or nudity. As such, body shame holds a stronger role in whether or not they will perform a sex act, so their base resistance to more involved sex acts is multiplied by their body shame in the same way that normal nudity and touching would be. (Kissing is exempt from this due to a child's mind attaching more weight to kissing than it does acts of sex witch they do not have such a strong concept about. If consent is gained via the modified score, consent will be considered "experimental" and not genuine. They will also be a bit more uncomfortable about it, but they will not feel pressured or forced.)
- Starting puberty: (-20% previous body shame stat)
The hormones of puberty lower sexual inhibitions, this effect is more pronounced before the brain learns how to adapt to this effect -20 values from the age at witch puberty starts until age 14.
- Mid puberty: (-10% previous body shame stat)
The brain has started to develop a resistance to sex hormones as the brain develops to a level it can better internalize society's views on sex. -10 values from ages 15 to 17.
- Curious about male genitals (-20)
Wants to see and/or touch the penis and testicles of an unspecific boy. Any boy will do if they feel they will not get in trouble with an authority figure for it. -20 values for sexual contact with boys.
- Curious about female genitals (-20)
Wants to see and/or touch the vulva and vangina of an unspecific girl. Any girl will do if they feel they will not get in trouble with an authority figure for it. -20 values for sexual contact with girls.
- Curious about semen (-10)
Wants to see or come into physical contact with semen. It does not matter what boy ejaculated the semen. -10 values for all moderate sex acts.
- Curious about penis insertion (-10)
Wants to feel what it is like to have a penis in a vagina or anus. Who the penis is attached to or who's vagina or anus it is only matters so much as they do not think the other person will spread the information around that they did this. -10 values for all hard-core sex acts.
- Curious about digital insertion (-10)
Wants to touch inside a vagina or anus or be touched inside with somebody else's fingers. Who's fingers and who's orifices it is only matters so much as they do not think the other person will spread the information around that they did this. -10 values to groping and mutual masturbation.
- Curious about sex (-20)
Female, wants to feel what it is like to have semen ejaculated into her vagina. Male, wants to feel what it is like to ejaculate inside a vagina or anus. Must have trust for the boy or girl involved, but standard romantic love levels can be less than half the normal requirement or not even present at all depending on circumstances. -20 values to all hard-core sex acts. (Trait requirements: Must know that semen comes out of the penis. Does not need to know that sex makes babies.)
- Fantasizes about babies (-10 to -60)
Wants to have a baby. Note: Does not need to know that sex is how babies are made. -10 to -60 values depending on strength of the desire for a baby if they are told this is how babies are made.
- Curious about impregnation(-40)
Wants to get pregnant/get a girl pregnant. Note, like all other traits on this list, this is simply due to curiosity and not an understanding of the consequences or romantic love for the person they are having the baby with. To them, they are just playing a game. The determining factor on whether or not they will let a boy get them pregnant/agree to get a girl pregnant is more friendliness than romance, although a romance score of at least 10 is still necessary. -40 to vaginal intercourse.
- Sexually acclimatized (-10/-5)
A child who does not understand the consequences of sex or sexual acts will feel more comfortable with such acts if they have performed these acts in the past and nothing bad has happened as a result. -10 values to any sex act in a category they have performed a sex act from at least 3 times before, and -5 values to the category immediately above it. (Note: Is overwritten by the "Sexually groomed" trait.)
- Sexually groomed (-20/-10 or -50/-20)
A child who has regularly engaged in a type of sex act without any negative consequences may not see any problem at all with doing it again in the future. Although, sometimes this comfort with the act can be specific to an individual person. For the person who groomed them, -50 for acts of the level they were groomed on and -20 for the next level progression. For people aside from the person who groomed them, -20 for acts they were groomed for and -10 for the next level progression. (Note: Does not stack with "Sexually acclimated." Groomed will replace acclimated once it is achieved.)
- Sexually violated (passive reaction) (-10,-20,-30)
A child who has had their sexual boundaries crossed against their will may feel they have no right to have sexual boundaries. -10 to all sex acts if they were touched over their cloths. -20 to all sex acts if they were touched on their bare genitals, ejaculated on, or made to touch another person's genitals, or raped once. -30 to all sex acts if they were raped multiple times. These values only apply to the submission method. These modifiers, without therapy, will continue into adulthood for half or full values depending on other factors.
- Sexually violated (aggressive reaction)(+20, +40, +60)
Another possible reaction of a child who has had their sexual boundaries crossed against their will is to become more resistant to sexual activity. +20 to all sex acts if they were touched over their cloths. +40 to all sex acts if they were touched on their bare genitals, ejaculated on, or made to touch another person's genitals, or raped once. +60 to all sex acts if they were raped multiple times. These values apply to the trust and romance approaches only, values for the submission method are one quarter these levels. These modifiers, without therapy, will continue into adulthood for half or full values depending on other factors.
Taboo modifiers
These modifiers make someone less likely to engage in certain types of sex acts or sex acts with certain partners depending on whether or not they have internalized the taboo. The strength of a taboo can vary from person to person, so any taboo can add anywhere from +5 to +100 to the required score, however what will be listed here is the average score for most people in western society.
All scores will be listed with a positive or a negative number. The negative number denotes how much someone with the taboo defiance trait will instead seek out sex that defies this taboo. This trait tends to create numbers from -5 to -40, in order to get a result greater than -40 that particular form of taboo sex would have to be that person's fetish.
- Incest: (+60/-20)
Sex with someone closely related by blood, 1st cousin/blood related aunt or uncle or closer.
- Sex with infant or toddler (+100/+20)
This is so repugnant to most people that taboo defiance only lowers the aversion to it.
- Child sex, 10 and under (+80/-0)
Sex with a pre-pubescent child.
- Sex AS a child under 10 (+40/-10)
Children under 10 are discouraged from sex, and they are normally obedient. Most of that may have to do with them not having much of a concept of or interest in sex to start with.
- Under-age sex, teen 12-15 (+80/-0)
Sex with a younger teen. Used to be more acceptable in culture, but now it is viewed as every bit as bad as sex with a pre-pubescent child.
- Sex AS a young teen age 12-15 (+20/-40)
Children are always discouraged from having sex young, but with all these new things they are learning about their bodies sometimes it doesn't take completely. This is also a defiant age, so a taboo defiant child will view sex as the ultimate extreme taboo to break.
- Jail-bait (+50/-40)
Sex with a 16-18 year old. This is actually legal in 80% of the western world, but even the places where it is legal tend to frown on this on a societal level.
- Sex AS and older teen (+10/-40)
At this age, teens are encouraged to have safe sex rather than not to have sex at all. What avoidance there is has more to do with encouragement to focus on academics and planning their future. Defiant teens will still see sex as THE taboo to break.
- Age difference (+40/-30)
The rule is half the older partner's age +7. If the younger partner falls below that age, it is looked down upon even if it is legal. (functions both directions, regardless of age of younger partner.)
- Race mixing (+20/-20)
This is not so much a taboo, more a result of the biological drive to mate within your social group. Of course, this does create something of an implicitly learned taboo by virtue of the fact it is something people don't do often, even if there is no social enforcement.
- Race mixing with out group (+40/-40)
Sex with a member of an ethnicity that is currently seen as an active threat to the well-being of the in-group society.
- Convicted Criminal (+40/-40)
Sex with someone who has committed a crime.
- Bestiality with dog (+100/-40)
Sex with a dog.
- Bestiality with farm animal (+100/-30)
Sex with animals found on farm.
- Bestiality with other large animal (+100/-40)
Sex with animals that aren't normally domesticated.
- Bestiality with small animal (+100/-?)
Sex involving an animal that is too small to copulate with.
