They say women come from Venus and men from Mars for a reason. We men have certain predispositions concerning sex and erotism and women have others. I purposely said predispositions because we are not black and white but a buch of grey shades, some darker other lighter. But we have tendencies.
It just behaviorism. It sufices to look around. Men are more easily aroused with a simple glimpse at a bosom, a cleavage, a butt in yoga pants. Our sexual stimuli are easy and fast to poke. Women not so much. Of course they get aroused seing a man/woman that fits their sexual standards but those same standards are more refined. Men get aroused with boobs, point. Woman get aroused with a certain - for example - type of body structure.
Also, sex and emotions go hand-to-hand for women. Even if such emotions are short term (in the case of fooling around for example).
That is no surprise that councerning erotica/pornography women have a tendency to prefer erotica, a good plot, an emphasis on emotions and thoughts, the thrill of the anticipation of the act, the level of desire, and so on, where men do prefer more direct and visual stimuli. Men like to be pleasured and to move on, quick and fast. Women happen to have sexual arousing from all the rituals leading to the actual sex act. All the energy and emotion involved before, during and after sex is important to them. Not so much to men.
That said, it is but natural that it gets some reflection on all the erotica/pornography we see in books, comics, games, and movies.
Most of these works are made by men, and for men. In the last decade there has been an emerging market for female costumers but it is still a business/practice directed to men. So, unfortunately, we have products that fail to attend to female desires.
For all the games, be it flash, html, aif, etc, that I played, I can only remember 2 cases of games writen/produced by women and that would be Tlaero's and Ariane's. There might be more but that's what I've found so far. I think Ariane purposely produced a game for men. The protagonists are men and we can't figure what goes inside the women's minds at all. Tlaero had a good try with Life with Keeley, a story written by a woman, where the protagonist is a woman, and where tle plot is to follow a woman's desires. That is the sole example I have.
All other stories and games where a woman is the character are written by men and when I read/play them I have to make an effort to remember the character is a woman because the path and the actions are familiar to my masculine desires.
I am 100% in favor in directing erotica to both genders, equally, and with the sensivity that it should be done with the diferences between man/woman in mind.
What you should do is to write the script, the story, be the director. Only a woman, or a man that knows them really well, can make a product that targets the best the feminine public.
My hope is, and I wish to contribute to it, that there will be a more profound diversification of erotic games that don't follow the usual meet girl/chat with girl/do things to please girl/have sex games.
Chaotic failed when he tried to have a female/male choice for his games, since the path is very linear, the dialogues the same, and the results equal, wheiter you are a man or a woman. And it is a game that follows the sequence I said above.
No, there should be games directed for women with a woman as a protagonist, and for men with a man as a character. If a guy wants to play a female character then he should have the full experience of what a woman's type of desires are and the path she walks to fulfill them.
