How to Dominate Romances in Love and Sex: Second Base
Let me paint you a picture of my first major fail in Love and Sex: Second Base. š Iād been chatting up Bree, feeling pretty good about our connection. I finally asked her out, we had a decent enough date, and I thought I was in. I went for the goodnight kiss… and she shut me down hard. āLetās just be friends,ā she said. Ouch. The problem? My Love Points (LP) were in the dumpster. Iād been so focused on being the “cool, mysterious guy” that I forgot to actually build affection. That moment taught me everything: mastering the dating sim mechanics in this game isnāt just about clicking choices; itās about understanding a whole economy of points, schedules, and desires.
Thatās what this guide is for. Iām going to break down exactly how to dominate romances in Love and Sex: Second Base, so you avoid my cringe-worthy mistakes and unlock the steamiest scenes the game has to offer. Weāll cover how to build points, unlock key events, and manage your time like a pro. Letās get your love life on track! š
What Are Love Points, Kink Points, and How to Build Them?
At the heart of every Love and Sex: Second Base romance are three core stats: Love Points (LP), Kink Points (KP), and a special one for Sasha called Dom Points. Think of LP as the classic romance meterāit opens doors, unlocks dates, and leads to committed relationships. KP is the wild card; itās all about unlocking spicier, bolder intimate options. Dom Points are unique to Sasha and are gained by making submissive choices (which lowers your KP with her).
So, how to increase LP KP efficiently? Itās a daily grind, but a fun one.
Building Love Points (LP): The Affection Engine
LP is your foundation. You gain it through consistent, caring actions. The most reliable methods are:
* Talking: Simply chatting with a love interest between 08:00 and 20:00 gives a small LP boost. Pay attention to their favorite topics! š£ļø
* Gifting: This is a huge booster. Each character has loved gifts. For Bree, itās things like Chocolate or a Teddy Bear. For Sasha, try Sushi or Wine.
* Cooking: This is a pro-tier strategy. Cooking a meal at 08:00 or 20:00 when a girl is in the kitchen and offering it to her gives a solid +5 LP. Do this twice a day, and youāll see that meter soar. Itās the single best routine for any Love Points LP guide.
Building Kink Points (KP): The Spice Rack
KP unlocks the gameās more adventurous scenes. You raise KP by making bold, teasing, or dominant choices during dates and conversations. Instead of the sweet option, pick the cheeky one. During intimate moments, choose the more daring position or suggestion. Itās about showing confidence and matching their adventurous side. Want that Kink Points KP unlock for the famous Bowsette cosplay scene? Youāll need Breeās KP at 75 or higher. Totally worth the grind! š
To see exactly what you’re working towards, here’s a quick reference for key milestones:
| Stat | Threshold | Unlocked Feature | Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| KP | >25 | Doggy Style Option Post-Date | Bree |
| LP | >=75 | Home Sex Scene Available | Bree |
| KP | >50 | Bead Play Scene | Sasha |
| Dom Points | Enough (via low KP) | Strapon Scene | Sasha |
| LP | 40 | Pose Change During Intimacy | General |
Unlocking Dates and Intimate Scenes with Key Characters
Understanding points is one thing, but applying them to the gameās schedules and events is where the magic happens. This is your practical Bree events walkthrough and more.
Mastering the Date System
Once LP is high enough (usually around 30-40), you can ask a girl out. Dates run on a 6-hour cycle (e.g., 12:00-18:00). Youāll see a “date bar” that fills as you make good choices. Keep the conversation flowing, pick activities they like (check their bio!), and avoid awkward silences to fill the bar. A successful date often ends with an intimate scene, where your KP level determines the options available. For example, with Bree, after the “Interview” date, you can unlock a titty job scene. If her KP is above 25, doggy style becomes an option, and thereās even a 25% chance for anal if you’re lucky! š²
Breeās Key Events & Schedule
Bree is often the first romance players pursue. Hereās the insider knowledge:
* Home Sex: When Breeās LP is >=75, you can knock on her door between 20:00 and 03:00 for a chance at a home sex scene. Itās a fantastic way to bypass the date requirement.
* The Peep Show: Between 20:00 and 03:00, thereās also a 25% chance to find her pleasuring herself if you knock. Itās a unique scene that requires no LP but is pure gold for the Love and Sex: Second Base experience.
* Post-Date Scenes: As mentioned, her KP directly controls the menu after a successful date. Pump that KP up for more variety.
Sashaās Domination Path
Sasha is a different, thrilling beast. While cooking for her builds LP (just like with Bree), her unique path is about submission. Making choices that lower your KP with her actually grants you Dom Points. This is crucial for unlocking her most dominant scenes, like the famous strapon encounter. Once you build enough KP with her (over 50), you can also unlock bead play. Planning your Sasha Dom Points scenes requires a strategic flip in your thinking: be bold elsewhere, but be submissive with her.
Managing the Harem & Cheating
A brilliant feature is the potential for a Home Harem with both Sasha and Bree. If you manage this, you avoid major cheating penalties. Normally, kissing another girl costs you 20 LP with Bree. But in an active harem? No penalty. Itās the ultimate goal for players who want to experience everything without the drama.
Pro Tips: Avoid Mistakes That Tank Your Progress
Youāve got the basics. Now, here are the hard-earned insights that will save you hours of reloading saves. This is the distilled wisdom for mastering Love and Sex: Second Base romance.
- Cook Like a Chef: Seriously, make meals at 08:00 and 20:00 your religion. Itās the most efficient LP gain in the game and gets you in the kitchen with the girls regularly.
- Track Your Needs: Your character has Energy, Hunger, Grooming, and Fun meters. Letting these dip too low ruins your success chances on dates. Sleep, drink coffee, eat, shower, and play games on your PC to stay sharp. A neglected protagonist is an unsuccessful one.
- Use the Phone: The phone isnāt just for show. Use it to text girls for small LP boosts, and collect phone numbers when you can. Itās a vital tool for dating sim mechanics.
- Peek at the Right Time: For that secret Bree masturbation scene, save your game just before 20:00 and knock on her door. If it doesnāt trigger, reload and try again. Itās a classic move for any Bree events walkthrough.
- Plan Your Points: Are you going for a pure Sasha domination run? Focus on lowering your KP with her specifically. Want a kinky time with Bree? Build her KP aggressively from the start. Donāt try to max everything with everyone simultaneously on your first try.
Remember, paths like marriage and pregnancy open up after deep commitment and specific story triggers, usually requiring maxed-out LP and completing personal story arcs. Itās a journey. Start by focusing on one girl, learn her patterns, build your points strategically, and soon youāll be unlocking scenes you didnāt even know existed. Now get out there and build that dream harem!
