The Great Male Follower Discussion Thread

[Irrlicht]

I, too, like my man like I like my pizza: With pineapple.

But well, if we get a second male follower, they need a dick, a vanilla personality and a quest.

I would cry with laughter if Steele ever had this reaction in game tbqh

[Foxxling]

Alright anyone who hasn't answered the previous questions is more than welcome to

but lets switch it up. We've been talking about what we want and don't want in a male follower but now lets talk about sex scenes.

• How would you want your sex scenes to play out with your male followers?
• Carnality vs Romance, which is more important?
• How would you want the varying levels of domination vs submission, be specific and represent/commuicate your kink as best you can.
• Which body parts, niche and/or vanilla, would you want your male follower to focus on?

Also talking and other types of interaction.

• How does a date with your optimal male follower play out? What do you want to do with him and where do you want to do it in the TiTs verse?
• If you're bros and just hanging out how do you want to do that?
• If you're platonic friends cruising for a good time where, how and why?

Once again no one has to answer all/any of these. Just keeping the discussion going

 

[Regardless]

Carnality first and foremost during sex, I find at least in writing that romance is best left until after (preferably post knotting).
Dom and sub stuff depends on the character. I will say that switches seem far harder to write than they are worth. It often tends to feels like the character ends up being two different people pushed into one rather than someone who's into both.
Always need more ball worship whether of the top or bottom, preferably of the pc but I'm not too picky. Also height play isn't used enough in game despite every other character being a 7ft behemoth or a 5ft smidgen.

Not sure it needs to be different from female companions tbh. I will say that there isn't nearly enough netflix and chill in game. Or bar crawls where you can choose to call it off halfway through so you're still capable of sex or keep going and get utterly ruined.

Also, since it's pretty clear you're using this thread for motivation and inspiration, please write some scenes that change slightly the more they are repeated. I can't think of any that have done apart from Arian from CoC and they were great imo.

 

[Kesil]

*How would you want your sex scenes to play out with your male followers?
"Hey, [character in turn], I feel like having sex."
If both are horny: sex. Possbly, heated sex with lots of affection.
If one's horny and the other one isn't: stuff to get in the mood, then sex if stuff worked. I mean, I would be completely okay if someone in the game turned down Steele because they're not in the mood for funsies [silly mode: their current Lust is low/they were created with the "Ice Cold" perk in mind].
If both are willing: foreplay, then sex.

*Carnality vs Romance, which is more important?
When discussing followers? Neither. At least, at first. I want a character that can develop further than "hi wanna sex" and "cheesy husbando loving you out of nowhere".

*How would you want the varying levels of domination vs submission, be specific and represent/commuicate your kink as best you can.
I don't really care about the sub/dom spectrum that much. I want the Steele and the character to have equal fun (and have fun as equals).

*Which body parts, niche and/or vanilla, would you want your male follower to focus on?
I'd be all for a chubster follower, so perhaps some loving fat play, with massages, rubs, gentle nibbling and intercourse. If that wasn't the case, I'd be happy with some front and rear focus with senseplay (that includes deep rimming and natural musk) and attention to genitals.

*How does a date with your optimal male follower play out? What do you want to do with him and where do you want to do it in the TiTs verse?
My optimal male follower would know my Steele dislikes dating and vasty prefers casually hanging out doing things both characters like.

*If you're bros and just hanging out how do you want to do that?
"Hey, bro, I have some free time, wanna x?" "Oh, sure." *characters hang out*

* If you're platonic friends cruising for a good time where, how and why?
"Hey, friend, I have some free time, wanna go to x?" "Oh, sure." *characters go to x"
Because I don't want all scenes being treated as something superduper relevant.

What I want:

A bro to travel space with me and kick ass. Possibly a fuck buddy.

What I don't want:

The fear of all my sluts getting fucked when I'm not around. I'm not really into sharing and Netorare shit. I'm a bitch regarding that. When Kiro started giving more love to kally I reloaded cause I felt cucked. Just me.

If they make a dude bro who has an encounter fucking each other follower whenever I walked into the ship, that's cool, I'd have to pass on that content.



Conclusion:

A bro who is sex-averse, Steele-sexual or explicitly unattracted to the other followers would be ideal for me.

*How does a date with your optimal male follower play out? What do you want to do with him and where do you want to do it in the TiTs verse?
My optimal male follower would know my Steele dislikes dating and vastly prefers casually hanging out doing things both characters like.

Well see, to me, that is still dating it's just more comfortable and less formal. Which is exactly how I do it. As a matter of fact most people I know go play mini-golf, video games, cook, go walk their dogs in the park, go get ice cream, sit around and watch tv or chill and have deep convos, go shoot pool, go watch the fight at a bar... that sort of thing. So like casually hanging out is still, to me, dating.

The whole formal dressing up and going out to dinner and a movie thing is usually to provide a neutral ground for the two individuals to get to know each other better and plan the second date.

I also take people out on formal dates to show my baby off because i'm that type of dude.

Lol this is weird cause I was talking to a friend of mine who was like, "I know I fuck around and she knows I fuck around but if she gave up some pussy to anybody else I'd be heartbroken."

And i was just like... what?

But straight dudes (going off on a tangent this isn't targeted at you) have these weird thoughts about women like they're magical creatures. The same guy believes that a man can love a woman and fuck someone else but if a woman fucks someone other than the man she loves then she don't really love him. This doesn't applay to TiTs at all but the dynamic is similar to your, "Aye bro that's my harem." stance on having a bro crewmember.

I honestly can't stand people like this, it's so stupid. It's "normal" for people to cheat or want to cheat, hurting each other in the process, but I'm a freak for being comfortable letting my partners sleep around totally amicably.

Honestly that's the same shit i be on.

If we're monogamous I'm faithful and if you cheat I dip out, instantly done fuck a second chance.

Because of this i dont do monogomy with everyone, we have to be honest about that don't sell me a dream, just keep it 100. You aint gotta tell me about your other fuck buddies, friends with benefits and bfs but like be honest that they're there and I'll do the same.

So many ppl in this world like to cheat but hate being cheated on... its dumb

 

[Stemwinder]

Once again this is an argument that makes gender un-gating FAR more likely.

You say we're very boxy and TiTs isn't but like...

Besides, let's be honest, TiTs isn't some gender identityless mecca void of societal pressures against sexual roles anyway. Sure civilized space would probably have evolved past all that due to transformations. In UGC space the body would be more for self-expression or utility anyway because of how easy and affordable it is to change that about yourself.

The same can't be said about the new additions to the galactic fold brought on by the rush. The Korgonne, in particular, have gender roles. These roles don't have a social stigma when they're broken (if breaking Lund is any indication) but they're there. Same with the Zil tbh except sexual dominance is a tribal thing you earn so ig sexual roles aren't as stringent then either.

I have another question though... you say that packing homosexual relationship dynamics up and putting them into this setting would feel dissonant but couldn't the same be said for heterosexual relationship dynamics?

Yeah, I feel you get me now. -Just- ungating like DA2 is awful, especially when everyone is down for absolutely anything because you can so very much tell that it was written generically. Gates are fine, I say, but they have to be sensible gates and definitely not just a crutch so someone doesn't have to write any m/m content.

Now the other thing: what I mean is TiTS is full of idiosyncratic dynamics, being full of aliens and all (plus looser ideas of what makes someone this or that in general), that it would feel a little weird if, say, Dane was put in and he acts just like a bear and even uses words like that. While it might get someone going to hear the terms and see the behavior you still might think "why is an alien taking his cues from another planets' thousands-of-years-out-of-date culture?". Even New Texas, which is a planet full of people living out stereotypes from current-day straight porn, still isn't lifting it. It's adapted to be a place that makes sense more or less.

That's exactly why it would be a bit dissonant to lean too heavily on the gay aesthetic for the flavoring of male characters, especially those who're designed with m/m in mind. While it's a popular aesthetic for it homo content isn't necessary gay content - that is to say it's not necessarily going to hit all the things a person who's v. much into the aesthetic wants to see, and it could well include male characters that have a looser masculine feel than they'd like the same way some still freak out about all the girldick.

Yeah, I strictly stick to monogamy if I'm bothering to be in a relationship, but generally end up defaulting to fwb's because lord knows being cheated on isn't fun (Also, being the other guy is also a bitch)

Anyways, on to the questions:

• How would you want your sex scenes to play out with your male followers?

On top of the standard sex menu, I'd like to propositioned some times, as like I'm headed out/going to bed/shower etc. I know Celise has her whole let me sleep w/ you interaction, but I think there's room for a lot more (and you could incorporate conversations regarding if you as the player are cool w/ that

• Carnality vs Romance, which is more important?

Varies on the character and the character's personality. I don't really think we've really had a full on male "romance" so I think Carnality is more prominent, but if we had a romantic undertone with someone, I'd lean that way.
I mean ideally, you'd have both.

• How would you want the varying levels of domination vs submission, be specific and represent/communicate your kink as best you can.

I'd honestly prefer switch over all else. I like being able to decide before/in the moment how things are gonna go down, because once in a while you just have those guys who are... really dommy to start and you're exhausted ahead of time, and you're wondering "was all that prep really worth it if he turns out to be a douche?"
I think keeping it switch allows for a healthy way for your characters to mix it up, and can allow people to try something new on a whim.

• Which body parts, niche and/or vanilla, would you want your male follower to focus on?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I would love Dane worshipping Steele's ass when he's in a rut. Ciaran could also work for this, but those description of Dane's tongue in his fight scene makes me want my Steele to ride his face until he's come and pliant and ready to take Dane's cock.

Also talking and other types of interaction.

• How does a date with your optimal male follower play out? What do you want to do with him and where do you want to do it in the TiTs verse?

Well, I'm weak for Vahn, but honestly I think dates should variations regardless of characters.

For Vahn, since he's a mechanic, I think you could take him to a tech show/museum since he's really into Hovercars, and it'd be something nice to do for him.
I think he might invite you to play Graviball with him sometime when you're on Tarkus together and to meet his other friends/the crew and have a fun night that way.

For Dane, i think you guys could hit up different bars in different worlds, and you can even have meet up interactions with different characters depending if they are there. Go have a good time, a couple of drinks, and you have some fun drunk fun, maybe in public, maybe back on the ship.

• If you're bros and just hanging out how do you want to do that?/If you're platonic friends cruising for a good time where, how and why?

Grouping these because they feel similar enough

I think that there is some overlap in dates/platonic friends, because atleast for me, I've definetly do date kinds of stuff with my bros/platonic friends but uh

• Movies
• Shooting Gallery
• Fancy Dinner
• Hell, an Amusement Park with rides

Just something to destress you know? Steele's life is fairly stressful at times, I think they could use a friend to chill them out and relax.

Anyways, Happy Thanksgiving y'all!

 

[ScarletteKnight]

Vahn is pretty nice, and cute, and I love those knotty dicks.

 

[Nonesuch]

Apologies if this point's already been made, but I keep seeing this thread bumping filled with agonised minutiae and long discussion over what the ideal male companion should be like and do.

I've said this over and over again since I started working for Fen: Almost nothing has ever come out of you going to the public and asking what they want you to write. Sit down and write what you want from a male companion, and it might actually get done. Or fund the thing if you can't do it yourself, TiTS has plenty of commissionable writers. If you just sit in here filling forum page after page of discussion about the exact kind of dude you want to bang and how they might please everyone, I guarantee it'll never happen, and any project you attempt to put together will crush itself under the weight of its own expectation.

Somebody brought up Ramis as a good example of gating earlier on in this thread. That was nice to read, but you know how Ramis came into being and was ultimately expanded into a full companion? I wanted to write a big amazon who bullied traps, because that made my dick hard. That's it. Everything that went into it was largely a means towards that goal. Any other NPCs you like have a similar origin story.

If you can write, sit down and start writing what gets you going. If you can't, go to somebody who can and pay them to do it. It's that simple.

 

[Linarahn]

Nonesuch isn't exactly wrong but I think this is turning out like a reverse commission at this point. With a better idea what the general public wants, picking the parts you personally like and writing those isn't entirely unlike Patreon polls, yeah?

I could be wrong in that assumption of course, but it's how I personally would use a thread like this.

 

[valkyr42]

*How would you want your sex scenes to play out with your male followers?
lemme get them off even if Steele isn't reved up, gotta get Maximum Sexy for Minimum 'Times Nutted'

*Carnality vs Romance, which is more important?
Friendship wasn't on the list but I pick it anyway

*How would you want the varying levels of domination vs submission, be specific and represent/communicate your kink as best you can.
I am a big ol switchy-switch and also into eating ass and pegging as well as consensual voyeurism (absolutely do go fuck whomever you like, i just want to Watch)

*Which body parts, niche and/or vanilla, would you want your male follower to focus on?
please for the love of god grant me a thicc dude for once, i got plenty of lady-tits to smother my face in but absolutely none of the big bara titties i crave

*How does a date with your optimal male follower play out? What do you want to do with him and where do you want to do it in the TiTs verse?
first thing would be a no-romo distinction to allow for FWB fun and the high-fiving and drinking of beers but i would want romo content to Exist and let me be upfront about being poly. if i have chosen to Date this dude i would like to do some wining and dining with the accompanying 69'ing but also want to just be able to enable him doing something he Genuinely Likes while hangin all over 'im, if you don't think doms/tops/masculine men can be Sugar'ed you are Wrong

*If you're bros and just hanging out how do you want to do that?
'ayy man i got some spaceflix, what are you feeling today?' also i feel like travel time between planets is under-utilized and that would be a fine place to slot a hang-out hook

* If you're platonic friends cruising for a good time where, how and why?
i want to Drink I want to Dance I want to fuck some Hot Bitches in the same room and possibly high-five while double-teaming an unnamed rando w/ them. Tavros has the only canonical nightclub in game, and a beach and a whorehouse and also an entire Love Hotel which should probs receive a dedicated map location for ExtraMeet bangs who want to get straight to the point

 

[mathew253]

How would you want your sex scenes to play out with your male followers?
" Call me what you want but, I want something cute, romantic, sincere, or funny. Maybe even a combination of the four"

Carnality vs Romance, which is more important?
"As you can guess from reading my first answer, I prefer romance over carnality."

How would you want the varying levels of domination vs submission, be specific and represent/commuicate your kink as best you can.
"You would think I would want it to be equal, but since I mostly play/create submissive characters, Idk how to explain how I like the whole sub vs dom thing. I like having smol cute masters with big strong buff pets. My main kinks are Pet Play, Male Lactation, Mpreg, Role-playing, Cutey Boy Dom Bottoms with Bro/Hunky Sub Tops."

Which body parts, niche and/or vanilla, would you want your male follower to focus on?
"Chest, Nipples, Ass, and ofcourse Groin."

How does a date with your optimal male follower play out? What do you want to do with him and where do you want to do it in the TiTs verse?
"A date would be something fun like adventuring or doing some Merc Work, or something simple like going to a festival/space fair/etc. We could be having a vacation on New Texas or New Canada, Exploring the Jungles of Mhenga, or go to the biggest mall we could find (There is also going to the beach/resort, or any place where place they enjoy showing off or seeing beautiful bodies)."

If you're bros and just hanging out how do you want to do that?
"Video games or just going to a nice place to sightsee and have a picnic, and maybe play some gravball."

If you're platonic friends cruising for a good time where, how and why?
"Movie House or Entertainment Center, Rent a Holo Bike, because it's to have some one on one time away from the crew."

Voyerurism is fun, had an idea for a bunch of slaves who you could have bang the crew

I agree with you, TiTs needs more varied male body types. I'm looking more for a regular looking dude like Geoff or other types of muscularity like swimmer's build, super skinny, bears and cubs as well as a good old-fashioned smooth chub... gotta have that variety man.

Now, when you say thicc, do you mean muscular, fat or burly (both)?

*If you're bros and just hanging out how do you want to do that?
'ayy man i got some spaceflix, what are you feeling today?' also i feel like travel time between planets is under-utilized and that would be a fine place to slot a hang-out hook

That is very interesting. Like in most sci-fi all ship scenes would probably occur while in space as most people would just arrive on planet for business that can't be done on ship in the vacuum of space.

While on TiTs, because of the nature of the medium, we usually only do stuff on ship when it's parked on a planet.

ExtraMeet bangs would be perfect for that. I feel like every follower should make use of the beach tho because that's such a hot thing we all need to expand on.

But also don't forget the bars on the other planets, strip clubs and gym... all are hot places we could chill with a beau or a bro. Taking your "bro" to his first myr strip show would be fun imo.

How would you want your sex scenes to play out with your male followers?
" Call me what you want but, I want something cute, romantic, sincere, or funny. Maybe even a combination of the four"

YES YES 1K TIMES YES.

"You would think I would want it to be equal, but since I mostly play/create submissive characters, Idk how to explain how I like the whole sub vs dom thing.

I haven't seen any male lactation in the game, not my thing but i'd def get an item that allows for it just so i can rail Yancy... but then again there might already be such a thing in game...

I, too, like dominating men who look dominant. I also like twinks and some femboys tbh but there's something special about taking a big beefy bara hunk and bending him over the nearest surface for a good railing.

 

[Regardless]

like swimmer's build, super skinny, bears and cubs

For swimmer's build there are the two guys with Una on Tarkus, you can get spit roasted or bum one of them alone.
There is a bear (literal and otherwise) written by Geden on Uveto (I think called Jerome) who's content is pretty gay.
Not to say there's enough of either those or the other body types you listed, I mean those are three characters with 4 scenes total, but they exist.

 

[cool.alexia]

• How would you want the varying levels of domination vs submission,

I am not the best for this, but I rather have one character that does one thing, but does it well. Like either sub or dom, just not both.

The reason I enjoy Sera is because, it is framed in the way that steele explores submissive kinks. The exploration stuff does it for me.

Also talking and other types of interaction.

• If you're bros and just hanging out how do you want to do that?

• If you're platonic friends cruising for a good time where, how and why?

What i get from 'friend kink', is just friends hanging out together, talking about their life. I miss somebody to talk about my sex life. Like "me having this really cool friend, called syri, but I also sleep with her sister, who introduced me to her girlfriend, who I also slept with. But now the girlfriend wishes that her sister finally proposes". Just somebody to contemplate about the situation. Just somebody to talk about what marriage even means in this hyper-space hyper-sex world.

A small example Kaede who drunk with us and talked about her weird sex life. I liked that.

want is basically an every day type of quest. We go out for a drink, and then stuff happens. Like the original Witcher game had Geralt drinking with his friends, and NOT killing or fucking anybody.

 

[Coalsack]

Honestly, all this input is making me want to try and write a male NPC.

Hmm, I kinda like the opposite thing...being dommed by beefy men. Regarding male-lactation...I kinda want to do a male-only species, that obviously, would require some m-preg and male-lactation. If I someday decide to write it down, you'll hear about it.
