I don't care about sex.

Is there any visual novels that doesn't include lots of sex, or any at all?

I've spent many years trying to keep away from medication. For a year I even had help doing a kind of therapy that is meant to change patterns in life, but in the end it didn't do much. Sometimes clinical depression is less about life, and more about a chemical inbalance. That's where the meds come in and help. I wouldn't take them if I didn't feel there was no other option, but it has gone too far. It would be selfish of me to risk my life any further.

It's not just libido. It's living in an altered state of mind constantly due to psychoactive drug use, it's the neurological damage, it's the horrible withdrawals they cause after you stop taking them.

>>11678138
It technically is.

There is no such thing as "clinical depression" really, as it's not a proven neurological disease. There is no biomarkers, there is no physical tests for it, there is no science behind the diagnosis. When you are "diagnosed" with it, it is from a quack and his arbitrary speculation of your personality traits, emotions, and behaviors. Which is what "depression" actually is, a combination of certain personality traits, emotions, and behaviors, that is often deemed to be a neurological disease without any scientific evidence or proof.

I am not claiming that the symptoms used in the diagnosis of depression are real, just that they are not an indication of a neurological disease, and that psychoactive drugs are not the solution.

>>11678146
>chemical imbalance.

There is no such thing as a test for this you know? It's complete pseudoscience. I can't believe people actually believe this bullshit.

Tell me, you said you wanted to commit suicide without them? When was the first time you started taking the drugs? Did the bouts of suicidal thoughts coincide with trying to stop taking the SSRIs?

I can relate to that. I hate removed content, but I don't necessarily need the content.

I find romance VNs to fall flat without sex scenes though. Always feels silly to portray love as holding hands.

>I find romance VNs to fall flat without sex scenes though. Always feels silly to portray love as holding hands.

Honestly, that's the kind of romance I would like in real life. It's not that I have any physiological problems, Disney romances just seem overall more appealing than "realistic" romances. And even in real life, I've spoken to people who are always proud that they "waited" (even if that's because it made the sex a lot better, though I always imagine it would actually be pretty disappointing after all that time).

If visual novels are supposed to be escapism, I'd like sharing ice creams and holding hands and other gay shit instead of "Then my mighty thing exploded in her narrow cavern like an erupting volcano."

I wanted to post this in the virginity thread. It was deleted before I could post, so I'll just post it here so I didn't write it for nothing.

>>11681565
I don't think it has anything to do with that. It's just that normal people are weak. And because they are weak, they are fine with settling for something less than perfect (something as far away from perfect as you can get, even).
Normal people just don't have the courage to go for perfection. Pressured by social norms and their desire to procreate, they are driven towards 3D and cast away all pride and dignity that we pure 2D-only people have.
This is why I seriously believe that even though society might look down on us, we're the better humans. Even if it'll never pay off, I decided to stay pure and so should you.

There is a version of Kanon without any sex. The thing is, you're missing nothing by reading that version since the sex scenes were implemented very poorly into the story anyway. They never get mentioned again and some are completely out of place. They are also drawn by that horrible KEY artist so you probably would not fap to them in the first place.

I'm someone who generally likes H-scenes even if they're shitty, but I agree. When it comes to Key games, the all-ages version is always better:
- Kanon and Air got voices.
- Little Busters got extra voices and sprites.
- Clannad, Planetarian, and Rewrite have no ero to begin with.
- Tomoyo After is appallingly bad, so you shouldn't play it regardless of sexual content. Haven't played Kud Wafter, but I imagine it's the same.

>> No.11684865

>>11681596
I agree completely, I prefer cute couples doing cute things. I feel that really captures what it means to be in relationship, as opposed to tacked on H-scenes that completely disrupt the flow of the story. The sex in romance-based eroge is underwhelming anyway.
