*'''Q: What do those hearts mean when you move the cursor around?'''<br />A: Hearts are shown whenever a characters sexual preference is met which is chosen in the maker. Blue hearts indicate that your character likes that position and red hearts indicate that your partner likes that position. Blue and red hearts mean both characters like that position.

Blue hearts indicate that your character likes that position and red hearts indicate that your partner likes that position. Blue and red hearts mean both characters like that position. The color of the hearts is not related to male of female.  
  
*'''Q: Are there 3P in AA2?'''<br />A: Not as an interactive feature. If a lover interrupts your sex with their other lover and their love is high enough, the 3P option may appear. Selecting it leads to dialog scene with them both showing their private parts to you, then the scene fades to black.
+
*'''Q: My girlfriend/boyfriend refuses to have sex with me?'''<br />A: This is common if they are either virgin or highest virtrue. You must have your first H in a private place. If you are in a relationship you can also use "Force" to initiate sex.

*'''Q: My partner has ended the sex scene after switching to another position?'''<br />A: If your partner is a virgin, she/he might want to take things slow. Most of the times it requires some mutual foreplay before, which is only available after you improve your H-compatibility a little. Don't get mad if your partner ends the scene here. Try again the next day.

*'''Q: How can I make my partner cum?'''<br />A: There's no 'real' climax like in AA1. You must start by selecting one of the blue positions. Once animation starts, you'll see red buttons with a sparkling texture. These animations will trigger an orgasm. After finishing orgasm, you can either select another climax-pose or one penetration-pose.

*'''Q: How does forced sex work? I always get 0%.'''<br />A: To be able to force someone to have sex, your target must a) have the "Weak/Blackmailable/Exploitable" trait or b) be in a lover relationship with your character. You will still only get 3%(for "Weak/Blackmailable/Exploitable") or 1%(for lover) at the first try. You can keep trying however and the precentage will increase. This will take 1-4 attempts before they give in. Forced sex ignores sexual preferences.

*'''Q: How do I know whether it's the girl's safe day or not?''' <br />A: You only get the lines of dialog indicating safe or unsafe days if you initiate sex in the open (as of patch v1.04.) The alternatives to that are to never cum inside during vaginal penetration, test H with the girl for risk in the morning and reload, or use a save editor to view the character's full safe and risk days.

[[File:Hetero_Switch.jpg]] Switches between the active and the passive character during lesbian H
 +
 
 +
=Basic Requirements for H=
 +
This lists the requirements for getting sex in ascending order according to virtue. The higher the virtue, the more requirements must be met.
 +
# Like/Love: The most basic of requirements, and a prerequisite for all others listed. Any character would have to like yours in order to consider any physical contact. The lower virtue would consider it if Like is high enough, the higher the virtue, the more Love is required.
 +
# Lust: Get the character horny: especially necessary if it's the first time having sex with the character. Talk Lewd, Kiss, or Touch can do this, as can witnessing other characters engaged in sex.
 +
# Physical contact: Only the lowest virtue characters would agree to sex without at least a kiss, and may not accept a kiss without a hug, or a hug without a caress. The lowest virtue may respond well to a grope without a kiss if Like or Love are high enough.
 +
# Become Lovers: This is necessary with Normal/High/Highest virtue characters. Even at Low/Lowest virtue, a character is more wiling to have sex if you're in a relationship, even when love has declined.
 +
# Invite Home: Virgin characters in particular don't want their first time to be sneaking into a private room or some seedy hotel. They would be more comfortable in your home, or theirs if circumstances are fortunate enough to get an invitation.
 +
# Date: Highest virtue characters won't consider having sex before having a Sunday date is with you. This will also make any other Virtue character more willing to have sex with you.
 +
 
 +
===Exceptions===
 +
*Skipping class in the infirmary with a Wild character will have him/her wake you up and initiate H
 +
*You can always force an "exploitable" character or a lover after 2 or 3 attempts
 +
*Getting a lover to interrupt and compete during H with someone else and choosing the said lover

You can also initiate sex more easily with characters who have low virtue, the "Exploitable/Weak/Blackmailable" trait (by Forced sex), and other modifiers like the "Perverted/Lewd" trait. Refer to [[Artificial_Academy_2/Character_Creation#In_Game_Trait_effects_.28Work_In_Progress.29|here]] for more info about the traits and their modifiers.

=H compatibility=
 
=H compatibility=
 +
Higher H Compatibility will unlock more positions as well as make the the partners become more comfortable with positions that don't match their preferences. Compatibility also reduces the time expended for each position taken; at minimum compatibility 4-5 positions can take up a full period, at maximum compatibility the time cost for each position becomes negligible. Characters with the Easygoing and the <span style="color:blue">Lewd</span> / <span style="color:red">Perverted</span> traits will increase compatibility faster. Both partners will show a satisfied or dissatisfied face during a position, depending on whether they like it or not.
  
Higher H Compatibility will unlock more positions that can make it even easier to increase compatibility. As compatibility increases, the partners become more comfortable with positions that don't match their preferences, and begin to enjoy them. Compatibility also reduces the time expended for each position taken; at minimum compatibility 4-5 positions can take up a full period, at maximum compatibility the time cost for each position becomes negligible.
+
At "Great" or "Perfect" H compatibility a pair will like even positions that don't match their preferences, although it still won't increase the compatibility faster.
  
H Compatibility increases during sex by choosing positions which match sexual preferences.
+
H Compatibility increases slowly with every H and will increase faster by choosing positions which match sexual preferences.

* The number of hearts seen is proportional to the increase of H compatibility.

* Orgasm positions multiply the effect for the partner who orgasms.
* Positions that match multiple preferences are difficult to distinguish by Hearts alone, but their effect is added to compatibility increases.
+
* Positions that match multiple preferences can only be identified through H dialogue but their effect is added to compatibility increases.
 
* Compatibility only increases the first time a preferred position is selected during an H session.
 
* Compatibility only increases the first time a preferred position is selected during an H session.
  
 
Though H-compatibility doesn't directly affect Love, Love increases when a partner's preferences are satisfied. The Ahegao state doesn't grant any additional increases, but does increase Love.

H Compatibility between two characters will sharply decay unless they are Lovers, or one is an Exploitable taken by Force.

Early trial-and-error has resulted in some false rumors. They are mentioned here to clarify.  
+
To trigger the scene where the girl is showing off the used condom (as seen on the right), finish sex after cumming inside but not too often (less than three times usually).
  
* Condoms are not used on low risk days. Only high risk days will lead to their use.
+
Since game update v7 it is possible to force or disable condom use in the configuration menu. Forcing condom use will enable it even inside secret places.
* Trade-Items in general don't have an effect on condom use.

=H Ending Dialogue=
Using the Maker there is a Sexual Preference section at "Traits" tab. Up to two preferences can be chosen for each character(Or more, if the [http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showthread.php/430353?p=3539958#post3539958 unlocked AA2Edit] by Phil26 is used). Love is greatly increased when preferences of both partners are satisfied either if they share the same preferences or if a position satisfies the preferences of both.
+
 
 +
Every character has will offer dialogue depending on how you had H. Girls have more lines than guys.
 +
 
 +
The lines also have a priority order. For example, if you take any virginity of hers, this takes precedence over ahegao embarrassment, which means the ahegao dialogue line only occurs when no virginity is taken.
  
 +
Below are the conditions for the various H endings:

NB There can be other comments than the ones listed. These are not always given, especially if more than one of the situations occur.

Obviously, the "No condom" preference is met only when you're not using a condom and the "Creampie" preference is only met when cumming inside.

=Ahegao=
 
This section is about the ahegao mode (aka. exhausted/tongue out). It can be happen with both hetero-sexual (male/female) and homo-sexual (female/female) pairings. Ahegao is possible for both females in the homo-sexual case, if both have the same sexual preferences. Some traits will make a female squirt while climaxing in ahegao mode.
 
 
 
===How to===
 
It's easy... just use a finishing move according to the girls Sexual Preferences twice...That will trigger Ahegao mode.
 
 
 
Ahegao-able move
 
* Cum by finger - Vaginal Carress
 
* Cum by Cunnilingus - Cunnilingus
 
* Cum while kissing - Fendom, Kissing
 
* (Anal)cum holding from behind - Anal play
 
* (Anal)cum together - Anal play, Doggy style
 
 
 
for Female-Female
 
* Cum by fingering - Vaginal Carress
 
* Cum by Cunnilingus - Cunnilingus
 
* Cum together - Vaginal Carress (Can trigger Dual Ahegao if both got Preference)
 
* Cum while kissing - Kissing, Fendom
 
* (Anal)Cum holding from behind - Anal play, Doggy style
 
 
 
After you make her Ahegao, you can switch to move in the same Preference that you make her ahegao Like if you make girl with "Doggy Style" preference ahegao by "(anal)Cum holding from behind" you can switch to (intercourse)Doggy style or (anal) Doggy style and she will still be in Ahegao mode as long as you don't switch to an other attribute move. This does not include the Foreplay and Fellatio set of moves. Some finishing moves cannot trigger Ahegao but can be used with Ahegao by switching to them after triggering Ahegao with different moves.
 
 
 
=Pregnancy=
 
[[File:Impregpattern.jpg|thumbnail|impregnation cycle(editor) ]]
 
Each female character has hidden a cycle of risky (impregnation possible) and safe days (no risk of pregnancy) randomly generated on character creation.
 
 
 
This cycle is always 14 days long, but it varies from girl to girl. The cycle will always have 4 high-risk days and 4 low-risk days separated by at least one safe day, with other safe days being presend. So a lucky girl may have a cycle that looks like this:
 
* 4 safe days
 
* 4 high-risk days
 
* 2 safe days
 
* 4 low-risk days
 
* Repeat
 
 
 
Another may have a cycle that looks like this:
 
 
 
* 1 low-risk day
 
* 2 safe days
 
* 4 low-risk days
 
* 4 high-risk days
 
* 3 safe days
 
* Repeat
 
 
 
The chance of impregnation in high risk/low risk days are unknown at this point. It should be noted that girls with the "asexual" trait have lower chances of impregnation.
 
 
 
Since patch v7 the pregnancy risk can be increased or even eliminated from the settings menu.
 
 
 
==High risk days pregnancy==
 
When trying to initiate intercourse outside of a safe zone, girls will make remarks about it being a risky day:
 
* Normal/High/Highest virtue girls with low intimacy will refuse sex; "No way! It's a dangerous day!"
 
* Normal/High/Highest virtue girls with high intimacy will ask/force you to wear a condom when initiating sex.
 
* Low/Lowest virtue girls will accept raw sex but will warn you to cum outside (No condom, ever).
 
 
 
When entering a safe zone (Love Hotel, Machine Room, Home, etc.), there will be no extra dialogue to indicate that it is as risky day. Girls with Normal/High/Highest virtue with low intimacy won't follow you into safe zones. The exception is the "Let's Study at home" activity which is inviting to home and this will initiate raw sex.
 
 
 
When coming inside during intercourse, the girl will make a remark about a possible pregnancy afterwards.
 
 
 
==Low risk days==
 
When trying to initiate intercourse outside of a safe zone, girls will make remarks about it being a risky day:
 
* Normal/High/Highest virtue girls with low intimacy may avoid sex with ambiguous tone.
 
* All girls with high intimacy will accept raw sex with a bit of hesitating; "it might be dangerous but... never mind."
 
 
 
If a girl is impregnated, she will confront you about it 3-4 game-weeks later, which results in a game over. The pregnant girl can then be transferred out of the class in order to keep on playing (see the [[Artificial_Academy_2/H_Guide#Condom|Condom Section]] for contraceptive guidelines).
 
 
 
=3P=
 
[[File:3pscene.jpg|thumbnail|3P (only intro & outro exist)]]
 
There is a kind of 3P in the game, where three characters can have a kind of lewd love triangle. If two are having sex in public the third partner may ask to join in. Note that the screen just fades to black, so there are '''no 3P H scenes in the game'''!
 
If you interrupt two of your lovers in H you may get a request to join them in 3P. I have not seen 3P occur with three of the same sex or when the main character is a woman.
 
[[File:3p suggested.jpg|thumbnail|Interrupting two girls engaged in H, and being asked to join as a 3rd party]]
 
  
==How to==
+
=Orgies=
 +
[[File:Orgy in classroom.jpg|thumb|An orgy in the classroom]]
  
Make a class with two girls and one guy, all Lewd with lowest virtue etc.
+
Orgies can easily happen if there are multiple characters with low virtue, as virtue is characters' main obstacle to public sex. In later versions this can be maximized by:
#Start play as one of the girls and romance the other girl, have sex with her, but don't get into a relationship.
+
* setting NPCs to love/like each other at the maximum rate
#Once you have had sex end the day and switch to playing the guy.
+
* setting the environment in H mood
#Playing as the guy have sex with both girls. Now everyone should have had sex with everyone.
+
* ''not'' allowing "Let's...!" commands
#Confess to both of the girls by the end of the day.
 
#Switch over to the girl and confess to the other girl.
 
#Now everyone is dating everyone.
 
#Have sex in public and the third party will ask to join in.
 
N.B. The above method will  work but it is not necessary. Both girls of the 3P do not have to be in a relationship, be bisexual, or even have low virtue. I have seen it with one girl being highest virtue and hetero while the other was low virtue and bisexual. However, they did have to have a lot of love flags between the three of them as shown in JG2ChrData.exe.
 
  
=Orgy Academy (work in progress)=
+
Although in later versions there is a "let's have sex" public suggestion, which NPC characters can use, it actually makes coupling more difficult as characters tend to strongly prefer a few other characters, and may simply be left frustrated if they can't get him or her. By not allowing "let's...!" commands, they try to talk to individuals more efficiently.
[[File:Relaxing after club.jpeg|thumbnail|Class relaxes after a club meeting]]
 
Using the 3P feature, you can create an orgy, but it takes time, patience and frequent use of JG2ChrData.exe.
 
I have been experimenting with this and this is the method I found that works best, there may be other ways.  
 
# I used the frontier pack v3.0b AA2Play English launcher.
 
# Start with three students 1 boy 2 girls and a teacher.  
 
  
Teacher:
+
=Special cum-on poses=
# The teacher stays out of it. I tried but could not get the teacher to participate without causing negative complications.
 
# To keep the teacher out of it, what works best is Female, Quiet, Hetero, lowest social, highest virtue, easygoing, obedient, shy, calm, serious, passive, and lucky (she'll need it if you get carried away in public).
 
# You can add other traits, particularly if you also want to have an affair with her, but you will have to make her exploitable and force her, or force a 999% response to sex by selecting sex while holding the right mouse button. Because of this it is difficult to tell when her high risk days are so I made all of her days no risk. The activities of your affair would need to be private and hidden from the other students.
 
  
Students:
+
[[File:Special cum-over positions.jpg|thumb|A collage of all the special poses.]]
This only works if all the students are in love with each other, high social, low morals, with a high acceptance of sexual activities of all kinds.
 
# Give all students the following: Social highest, Virtue lowest, Bisexual, Easy going, Affable, Charming, Obedient, Positive, Perverted, Calm, Romantic, Deaf. You can give other traits but none of the forbidden traits given below. 
 
# These forbidden traits do not work: Tsundere, Jealous, Impulsive, Violent, Always Angry, Singleminded, Indecisive, Competitive, Scheming, Masochist, Evil, Exploitable, Asexual. Other traits may or may not work - you experiment.
 
# The following Personality Types work: Quiet, Kind, Smart, Lively, Genuine, Savage, Mature, Reserved, Delicate, Cheerful. Some of these work better than others. Not all types have been tested and others may work, but not the forbidden one given below.
 
# These Personalty Types do not work so are forbidden: Irritated, Harsh, Creepy, Aloof, Manly. Not all types have been tested.
 
# Everyone's sexual preferences should include all choices.
 
# Put everyone except the teacher in the same club.  
 
  
How to Get the Orgy Going
+
During H, if a male character ejaculates on the body of a female character completely coating her in 15 specific spots, the female student starts doing new poses when receiving more ejaculations. This applies to all the <span style="color:#0000FF">intercourse male orgasm positions</span> that show the [[File:Pull_out_button.jpg|24px]] pull-out button, plus the [[File:Service_male_orgasm.jpg|24px]]<span style="color:#0000FF">Licking</span> position.
[[File:Change partners.jpg|thumbnail|After changing partners]]
 
# As mentioned in 3P above, get all characters being lovers with each other. Now add another Female have her become lovers with everyone. Keep adding females. I have so far gotten up to 9 female students. The more females you have the longer it takes to integrate a new one.
 
# Between days save, end the game, and go to JG2ChrData.exe. Change all the Dislike, Like and Hate flags to Love in all characters including the teacher. The most hate flags appear when when a new member is working to become everyone's lover. Without a preponderance of Love flags, orgy will not happen.
 
# Best time for orgy is after club. That is when the students have the time to fool around. Just stand there and wait for it to start happening. Then pick a partner who is not involved yet and start H.
 
# Use the down arrow to minimize the picture of your H activity and the other arrows to move it up or to the side so you can see what everyone else is doing.
 
# You will sometimes be interrupted by someone wanting 3P. This gives you a chance to change partners, but if it happens too often it is annoying. If everyone is engaged you can go quite a while with one partner.
 
# You can end off your H session, wait for a girl to fall out of her H session and take up with her. You can go find a girl in another part of the school and take her to the room where the orgy is going on and start with her.
 
# You can also start it by beginning an H session with someone in a common area like the courtyard, Gym, main gate or outside train station. Then wait for other students to gather round, and join in. After trying various things you will see how best to do it with your group. Sometimes the girls will all leave the club room and go start it somewhere else. You will need to go find where the action is.
 
# If you don't want to keep adjusting Love flags, then get everyone to be lovers with all love flags adjusted. Play the game and do not save at the end. the love flags will stay adjusted.
 
# After an orgy session the man will be considered a big cheater, but it does not seem to affect the women. (Sigh!)
 
# Theoretically you could continue until you had a full class but that would take a lot of time and work and you will probably find the sweet spot at a certain number.  
 
# I tried introducing another bisexual man and another Homo man but neither worked well. The men were accepted but there were a lot more hate and dislike flags among the girls, and it was more difficult to get an orgy going. It may be that this needs a pivotal central character to work and that being one man.
 
# I am currently experimenting with having one female who is a lover to the man but not lovers with the other girls. She is bisexual with all the same traits, etc. but add singleminded. She is Kind which seems to be the most accepting personality. This seems to work so far. She participates only with the man and watches or masturbates when the man switches off to someone else. I will see, in time, if she gets corrupted. I tried it with a hetero female but all the other girls hated her and that caused a disturbance in the force.

FAQ

Hearts when moving the mouse.
  • Q: What do those hearts mean when you move the cursor around?
    A: Hearts are shown whenever a characters sexual preference is met which is chosen in the maker. Blue hearts indicate that your character likes that position and red hearts indicate that your partner likes that position. Blue and red hearts mean both characters like that position. The color of the hearts is not related to male of female.
  • Q: My girlfriend/boyfriend refuses to have sex with me?
    A: This is common if they are either virgin or highest virtrue. You must have your first H in a private place. If you are in a relationship you can also use "Force" to initiate sex.
  • Q: My partner has ended the sex scene after switching to another position?
    A: If your partner is a virgin, she/he might want to take things slow. Most of the times it requires some mutual foreplay before, which is only available after you improve your H-compatibility a little. Don't get mad if your partner ends the scene here. Try again the next day.
  • Q: How do I end a sex scene? I can't click the button?
    A: The button becomes available after your partner has finished her/his orgasm.
  • Q: How can I make my partner cum?
    A: There's no 'real' climax like in AA1. You must start by selecting one of the blue positions. Once animation starts, you'll see red buttons with a sparkling texture. These animations will trigger an orgasm. After finishing orgasm, you can either select another climax-pose or one penetration-pose.
  • Q: How does forced sex work? I always get 0%.
    A: To be able to force someone to have sex, your target must a) have the "Weak/Blackmailable/Exploitable" trait or b) be in a lover relationship with your character. You will still only get 3%(for "Weak/Blackmailable/Exploitable") or 1%(for lover) at the first try. You can keep trying however and the precentage will increase. This will take 1-4 attempts before they give in. Forced sex ignores the character's sexual orientation and sexual preferences.

Basic Requirements for H

This lists the requirements for getting sex in ascending order according to virtue. The higher the virtue, the more requirements must be met.

  1. Like/Love: The most basic of requirements, and a prerequisite for all others listed. Any character would have to like yours in order to consider any physical contact. The lower virtue would consider it if Like is high enough, the higher the virtue, the more Love is required.
  2. Lust: Get the character horny: especially necessary if it's the first time having sex with the character. Talk Lewd, Kiss, or Touch can do this, as can witnessing other characters engaged in sex.
  3. Physical contact: Only the lowest virtue characters would agree to sex without at least a kiss, and may not accept a kiss without a hug, or a hug without a caress. The lowest virtue may respond well to a grope without a kiss if Like or Love are high enough.
  4. Become Lovers: This is necessary with Normal/High/Highest virtue characters. Even at Low/Lowest virtue, a character is more wiling to have sex if you're in a relationship, even when love has declined.
  5. Invite Home: Virgin characters in particular don't want their first time to be sneaking into a private room or some seedy hotel. They would be more comfortable in your home, or theirs if circumstances are fortunate enough to get an invitation.
  6. Date: Highest virtue characters won't consider having sex before having a Sunday date is with you. This will also make any other Virtue character more willing to have sex with you.

Exceptions

  • Skipping class in the infirmary with a Wild character will have him/her wake you up and initiate H
  • You can always force an "exploitable" character or a lover after 2 or 3 attempts
  • Getting a lover to interrupt and compete during H with someone else and choosing the said lover

Getting started

Sex inside the Love Hotel
  1. Bring a character who appears interested to a secluded location, where interruption is unlikely or to a secret place.
  2. Select a position using the side buttons as desired.
  3. Click the door icon the the bottom left corner to exit the scene.

You can also initiate sex more easily with characters who have low virtue, the "Exploitable/Weak/Blackmailable" trait (by Forced sex), and other modifiers like the Lewd/Perverted trait. Refer to here for more info about the traits and their modifiers.

H compatibility

Higher H Compatibility will unlock more positions as well as make the the partners become more comfortable with positions that don't match their preferences. Compatibility also reduces the time expended for each position taken; at minimum compatibility 4-5 positions can take up a full period, at maximum compatibility the time cost for each position becomes negligible. Characters with the Easygoing and the Lewd / Perverted traits will increase compatibility faster. Both partners will show a satisfied or dissatisfied face during a position, depending on whether they like it or not.

At "Great" or "Perfect" H compatibility a pair will like even positions that don't match their preferences, although it still won't increase the compatibility faster.

H Compatibility increases slowly with every H and will increase faster by choosing positions which match sexual preferences.

  • Blue Hearts indicate a position that satisfies one or more of the player's preferences, and increases compatibility slowly.
    AA Heart Blue.jpg
  • Pink Hearts indicate a position that satisfies one or more of the partner's preferences, and increases compatibility faster.
    AA Heart Red.jpg
  • Pink and Blue hearts match both partners' preferences, and increases H-compatibility quickest.
  • The number of hearts seen is proportional to the increase of H compatibility.
  • Orgasm positions multiply the effect for the partner who orgasms.
  • Positions that match multiple preferences can only be identified through H dialogue but their effect is added to compatibility increases.
  • Compatibility only increases the first time a preferred position is selected during an H session.

Though H-compatibility doesn't directly affect Love, Love increases when a partner's preferences are satisfied. The Ahegao state doesn't grant any additional increases, but does increase Love.

H Compatibility between two characters will sharply decay unless they are lovers and keeping it up with more than 2 sex-friends is almost impossible.

Condom

Condom
Condom Intro (public sex only)
Used Condom (after sex)

Condom is a usable contraceptive in-game. It prevents a girl's impregnation on dangerous days. Its use is determined by specific conditions that can not be directly influenced by the player. Sex outside of secret places provides an unique dialogue scene while inside has no indication at all.

The following are the requirements of condoms being used:

  • A girl must be at high risk day. Low risk days will not lead to their use.
  • A girl must have normal/high/highest virtue.
  • (only inside secret places) A girl must not have the "No Condom" or "Creampies" sexual preference.
  • A girl with Genuine trait will use condom during first sex, even if not virgin.

To trigger the scene where the girl is showing off the used condom (as seen on the right), finish sex after cumming inside but not too often (less than three times usually).

Since game update v7 it is possible to force or disable condom use in the configuration menu. Forcing condom use will enable it even inside secret places.

Private Rooms

You'll find some places which you can only enter when a Character is following you. These locations are shown in purple text and sex is automatically initiated when you enter them. However, sometimes your follower may refuse depending on mood/relation. Different rooms will use different environmental objects during H.

Love hotel
Worldmap with marked secret locations
  • Love hotel: Pink neon sign outside the train station.
  • Machine room: Located on the sports grounds.
  • Counseling room: Located outside the counseling room.
  • Gym storeroom: Located in the gym
  • Boys'/girls' toilets: Located in the boys'/girls' toilets.
  • Boys'/girls' showers: Located in the boys'/girls' showers. **This room has the special attribute of making you and your girl's skin shiny just like "Sweat a lot" trait

Note: Passing through toilets and showers of the opposite sex to reach the private rooms may surprise, shock, anger or excite the occupants if you aren't escorted. A partner who escorts you in will not escort you out, so take care to move quickly when done.

Your room or your partner's can become available in the evening by inviting another character to study, or accepting their invitation. A character will accept or refuse based on the conditions for entering any other Private Room. If your partner's Ecchi is maximum, H will begin, otherwise you will receive the study prompt (for a guarantee of H, Kiss/Talk about Lewd Things until they're horny.) You will be invited to another character's room without the pretense of study when fulfilling a Lewd Promise.

Private Rooms can be shared. If you see a couple going to a room, it is possible to enter the room with your partner.

H Ending Dialogue

Every character has will offer dialogue depending on how you had H. Girls have more lines than guys.

The lines also have a priority order. For example, if you take any virginity of hers, this takes precedence over ahegao embarrassment, which means the ahegao dialogue line only occurs when no virginity is taken.

Below are the conditions for the various H endings:

NB There can be other comments than the ones listed. These are not always given, especially if more than one of the situations occur.

Condition Scene
Not satisfied (only for non-lovers) says she's not satisfied or complains about your premature ejaculation
Lover H (random) says she loves you and/or kisses you
You take her first time (vaginal sex) shows her vagina with blood dripping off
You take her first time (vaginal sex) but not yours holds her vagina with blood dripping off and may comment that you lied about your first time
You take her first time (anal sex) comments on losing anal virginity
You take her first time (both) comments on losing virginity on both holes
She takes your first time comments or brags about being the one who took your virginity
Doing anal sex only, without taking her "first time" encourages you to take her first (vaginal) time
Cum in vagina once shows semen dripping off her vagina
Cum in anus once comments on semen leaking off from her anus
Cum Once while using condom holds the filled condom
Cum 3x times inside her mouth comments about your semen in her mouth
Cum on her comments about being sticky
Cum on risky period warns about a possible pregnancy
Didn't cum during risky period is grateful to you for not cumming inside
Cum 3+ times compliments or complains about the quantity of semen
Make her reach 3+ orgasms compliments your effort
Reach ahegao is embarrassed about her ahegao
Cum together comments it was nice to cum together
Caught during public H comments on doing it while being watched
Teacher NPC says that what happened must be kept secret
Teacher PC says that what happened must be kept secret
H in your room comments about having H after being invited to study
H in the infirmary comments about having H in the infirmary

Note: If there are dialogue types that aren't listed here, please update this.

Orgies

An orgy in the classroom

Orgies can easily happen if there are multiple characters with low virtue, as virtue is characters' main obstacle to public sex. In later versions this can be maximized by:

  • setting NPCs to love/like each other at the maximum rate
  • setting the environment in H mood
  • not allowing "Let's...!" commands

Although in later versions there is a "let's have sex" public suggestion, which NPC characters can use, it actually makes coupling more difficult as characters tend to strongly prefer a few other characters, and may simply be left frustrated if they can't get him or her. By not allowing "let's...!" commands, they try to talk to individuals more efficiently.

Special cum-on poses

A collage of all the special poses.

During H, if a male character ejaculates on the body of a female character completely coating her in 15 specific spots, the female student starts doing new poses when receiving more ejaculations. This applies to all the intercourse male orgasm positions that show the Pull out button.jpg pull-out button, plus the Service male orgasm.jpgLicking position.
