GURPS Sex revision

[trechriron]

Here's my proposal for those who want more detail akin to combat.

Sexual encounters are run in 1 second turns (like combat). Choose a maneuver, make a roll vs. the Orgasm Check (defense). FP can be spent for extra effort.

New derived characteristic: Desire Points (DP) based on Health. DP measures the level of sexual desire a character has. Any CP spent to reduce Will increases DP by an equal amount. Any points spent to increase Will decreases DP by an equal amount. Otherwise, you cannot modify DP.

Full DP means you are generally "randy" and ready for some sex. DP is reduced by Satisfaction (new effect) (think "injury" vs. HP). It should "heal" or return at a rate that is increased by a modified Lechery disad or decreased by a Chaste advantage.

New derived characteristic: Satisfaction, measured in dice like damage. Use the same table as you do for STR (probably should use the Thr column, not just for the tongue-in-cheek factor but Satisfaction should be applied on a smaller scale).

Erotic Art is the "advanced" skill. The basic skill is called Sexual Intercourse. There are optional specialties based on sexual preferences, orientation, etc. It is based on HT and is an easy skill.

There should be maneuvers like in combat, but applicable to Sex. They should represent both maneuvers to satisfy and maneuvers to be more "selfish". Satisfaction (injury) should be applied based on maneuver and Satisfaction derived characteristic. Some maneuvers should prolong the act to postpone orgasm.

Each maneuver is opposed by Orgasm Check (simple roll under 1/2 applicable skill + 3) (like a Dodge). This roll is made at -1 for every 10 seconds engaged in intercourse. A failed roll means the participant has reached orgasm. Those capable of multiple orgasms "reset" after 3 seconds and can continue to receive Satisfaction. Otherwise, any Satisfaction reduces FP by an equal amount to a min of 1 (FP cannot be reduced to 0 from post-orgasm sex).

New 0 point feature: Multiple Orgasms.

At 0 DP a character will not desire sex until DP have "healed". This of course does not preclude them from having sex, they simply will not desire it. DP heals naturally at 1 DP per day, faster for those with Lecherous, slower for those with Chaste.

Sure, this would make sex somewhat technical, but it could also make it very dramatic! :-)
