To be fair, Rippedsoul lists themselves as the compiler and credits the original authors of GURPS: Sex, GURPS: Hot and Heavy and the pregnancy tables including what material came from where. I don't think their intention was to claim credit but just put it all in one place under a single heading.

used a departure from Ripped Soul's rules to treat sex more like techniques than whatever it was he called what he did (which I genuinely don't remember). I've got it on my computer but I mostly get online on my tablet, which I can not use to get files directly off my computer. I'll pop in next time I'm at the library. I need to get another guy a bunch of stuff I wrote as well.

If this was made for 3E, I am not sure what adaptations would need to be made for 4E, any major changes?
FP Usage, from what I know by reputation, and many traits that should be Perks at the most costing many more points that.

I like this phrase. Very much so, in fact.

Naughty And Dice doesn't have any GURPS stats in it. The original GURPSSex.txt from Christine and Ted did, and almost certainly suffers from 3e style skill bloat, and probably rampant techniques too. Not criticizing them, that was the system of the day - but something to watch out for.

The whole point of the Amber Diceless RPG is that there are no dice. There are also only four stats. You compare the stats and then roleplay it from there. Just because Gerard is stronger than Corwin doesn't mean that Corwin will get mashed into a pulp if his player has a clever idea.

And that works for certain genres and settings where the basic assumption is that the characters are themselves forces of nature, or more powerful than forces of nature. I used it to run a campaign set in Zimiamvia, for example (though I added a fifth stat, Intelligence, to cover the sneaky, spy-y part of military activity as distinguished from the directly combative part).

Or to make money.

There's a pimping skill but not much in guidelines on how much money you can earn based on how well you make your sex rolls.
That is the same problem I had when reading it. For all the skills and techniques that can be used, using them or using them well does not appear to convey any meaningful benefit, making the section completely pointless.

... Are you guys circling towards wanting a "sexual fulfillment" attribute or somesuch?

If you want to stick to straight up RAW stuff, there's arguably an application of the Ecstasy affliction (p428) and all its consequences. It causes FP loss, and gives you a +3 to influence rolls if you can credibly offer more of the same. I'd extend the +3 to Interrogation for the purposes of squeezing information out of the subject during the "afterglow" (so to speak).

And for a lesser case, Euphoria (same page). :)

For me, that's covered in Bio-Tech with the rules for flesh vehicles/living buildings and Magic with spells like Shrink Other, Breathe Water, and Resist Acid. ;)
