SSTD's (Cast your votes)

If blocking out fetishes ever becomes a thing then that could probably open up opportunities for people to ask about blocking other fetishes they don't like.
In my eyes, best people can do is learn to take the time to actually READ the text within a TEXT game so that they don't 'accidentally' get into/stuck with something they don't like in the first place.
The problem is that SSTD are more than a fetish, they're a game feature, like space travel, combat, etc, only that in a minor scale. Blocking fetishes is a bit more tricky since I'll require checking all the sex scenes to see if their match with the blocked fetish or not.
SSTD most like will not show up for next year or two too.

He said my post gave him space syphilis. Weirdo, everyone knows space syphilis is spread through emails and not forums.

If we're getting rid of consequences because people don't read, then we should get rid of the button press on myrellion. That way we won't have to worry about any more threads regarding it (is that still a thing?).
Oh, that's what I was gonna say, we already have temporary buffs in the game. If I recall correctly, most consumables that don't TF you, provide you some kind of boon. We already have healing items and energy-restoring items that are considered "must-haves" for difficult bosses already. And then there's that one guy on the space station that gives you dance lessons to give a tease bonus or evasion bonus; that's another must-have. Therefore I think having SSTDs which give temporary buffs are not going to be a problem, not unless we need to get rid of everything else in the game that doesn't TF you. There's always going to be an optimal build path in a game like this. The only way to prevent that is to make it so there is only one path (every weapon in the game deals 1 damage, every armor blocks 1 damage, every stat does literally nothing to improve you); the only way to prevent an "optimal" build is to make everything superfluous. Get rid of leveling too because that can be optimized. Heck even a person's appearance can be "optimized" so might as well get rid of TFs while we're at it. Make this game a linear story with no choices and then we can have an unoptimizable game. You know what? The speed at which you read the story can be "optimized". Better just delete the entire thing. You can't optimize what doesn't exist. Bah!
I think I caught Birb fever what with all that ranting. I apologize.

Personally, way back when I read the Offbeatr campaign, I thought SSTDs were going to be like the Pokerus from Pokemon - it's called a disease, but the effects are purely positive. That's what would make them Sexy STDs, and not regular STDs.
They would be sexually-transmitted buffs. Things like "You made love to an infected rock creature. Your skin has become more resistant to damage. (+2 Defense, though no cosmetic changes)". Or "After being intimate with <species>, your body can now output compatible pheromones. +5 tease damage to lust attacks against <species>". Or maybe even "You spend a night with a native. They get infected by some of your medical nanomachines and become cured/immune to <local disease>".
I'll admit I don't think I read any descriptions about how they were going to work on the Offbeatr campaign, but I imagined them as something fun and not as a penalty. I think I'd like seeing something like this in a game, but not "You slept with an infected person. Please report to a discreet medical droid before you change species/genitals."
I don't mean to sound stupid or anything but what is the SSTD that is already in the game that @Couch created? I've heard people talk about it and I know it is called LocoFever and that it can be found on Tarkus, I did a search for it but I couldn't find anything about it just mentions of it. What do you have to do to get it and just what effects does it have?
Aside from those practically-minded "any implementation of these would be annoying at best" criticisms what she was also driving at without saying it outright is that the community is well-established to love pregnancy content so even if there are some similar issues to deal with ultimately enough players want pregnancy content of some form in the game that, even if TiTS in general isn't a breed-heavy game, there's still a dedication to it that alleviates some of the annoyances while preserving the flavor.
With SSTDs we step into who-is-this-even-for-anyway territory and the answer seems to be bug chasers. That's not nearly as popular with the community for this game and none of the writers are into it, either, so they gave the idea some obligation chocolates and don't want to talk about it anymore beyond that. Even if it -could- be implemented, annoyances and all, there's just not enough of a demand for anyone to bother.
I don't know if it's actually in, but other people have claimed it is. If it's in the game and working as intended, you should be able to get it at random by having sex with raskvel. All it does is put you in heat and/or rut after the incubation period depending on your genitals, then passes after a few days.
If they give transformations and perks and shit then clearly it's for people wanting new ones of those, which a lot of people play this game for. I'm sorry, but a lot of what you just said seems like excuses to be lazy. Clearly there is a demand and the evidence of it is right here in front of you. Again; if no one on the team was actually interested in doing this then they should never have made it an incentive. Don't offer things you won't do.
Less laziness and more a near-total lack of interest on both the audience and development side. No one's hankering to have transformations work this way (and even games that do it this way, like Flexible Survival, run into problems where persistent characters can ((literally)) screw up a transformation the player spent time getting and so have to make a bunch of exceptions out of necessity) and no one's particularly excited to use it any other way, either.
Yeah, in retrospect it was entirely a half-assed idea and shouldn't have been put on the table way back when and that's why it was implemented in such a half-assed way - but now that everyone acknowledges that it was a bad idea no one wants to be tethered to it.
