Love and Sex: Second Base review
Master Dating, Romances, and Intimate Scenes in This Addictive Sim
Ever wondered what happens when a geeky roommate dives into a world of steamy dates, wild encounters, and relationship drama? Love and Sex: Second Base throws you into that exact thrill as Mike or Bree, juggling jobs, rent, and a roster of tempting romances. From building Love Points with Bree’s cozy home scenes to unlocking kinkier options with Sasha, this game blends dating sim strategy with explicit rewards. I’ve spent countless hours grinding stats and chasing every scene—let me share how to level up your game, avoid pitfalls like roommate jealousy, and hit those satisfying milestones that keep you coming back.
How to Dominate Love and Sex: Second Base Mechanics?
Let me paint you a picture of total, unadulterated digital heartbreak. 🤦♂️ I’d spent a solid week in Love and Sex: Second Base wooing Bree, mastering dates, and finally unlocking some… ahem… premium content. I was on cloud nine. Then, Monday morning hit. A text from the landlord. My rent was due. I shrugged it off, thinking I’d work a shift later. I got distracted by a promising booty call, then by trying to raise my Fitness stat. Friday rolled around. BAM. The game hit me with a devastating penalty: a massive drop in Love Points (LP) with every character because I failed to pay rent. Bree went from “loving” to “annoyed” in a flash. My save file was in shambles. 💔
I learned the hard way that in this addictive sim, you can’t just focus on the romance. You need to master the entire ecosystem of needs, money, and points. Consider this your survival guide. We’re going deep on the Love and Sex: Second Base mechanics so you never face that kind of disaster. Let’s turn you from a struggling newbie into a smooth operator who always has cash for rent and points for passion.
What Are Needs, Attributes, and Points Systems?
Think of your character as a real person with a battery life and a bank account. The core loop of the Love and Sex Second Base mechanics is managing two key pillars: your Needs and your Attributes.
Your Needs (Hunger and Energy) are your daily drivers. Almost every action—working, studying, going on a date—costs Energy. Let Hunger hit zero, and you’ll start losing Energy twice as fast. It’s a death spiral for productivity. 🏃♂️➡️😴
Your Attributes (Fitness, Smarts, Charm, and Income) are your skills. Raising them unlocks new dialogue options, better job pay, and even specific romantic scenes. But here’s the kicker: improving them also costs Energy and sometimes Hunger. See the loop? This is where the brilliant dating sim points system comes into play.
You don’t just grind stats blindly. You do it to earn specific currencies that unlock the game’s content. This is the heart of LP KP GP explained.
- Love Points (LP): The foundation of any relationship. Earn these through kind actions, gifts, successful dates, and cooking for your roommates. This is the “affection” meter. Get it high enough, and you unlock deeper conversations, dating, and basic intimacy.
- Kink Points (KP): This is where things get spicy. 😏 KP is earned by choosing bold, daring, or dominant options during flirtatious and intimate moments. Think of it as the “naughtiness” meter. Building positive KP is essential for unlocking more adventurous scenes (like doggy style or anal). But beware…
- Negative Kink Points / Dom Points (DP): If you consistently choose submissive options, your KP can go negative. The game treats this as building Dom Points for your partner. This isn’t a failure! It unlocks a different path, where your partner takes more control. Some characters have specific content down this route.
- Girl Points (GP): Crucial for polyamory and threesomes. You earn GP by building strong relationships with multiple female characters simultaneously. It measures the comfort and connection between the women in your life. High GP is your ticket to managing a complex, happy love web.
To keep it all straight, here’s your cheat sheet:
| Stat | Key Threshold | What It Unlocks | Pro Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Love Points (LP) | >= 75 | Home intimacy scenes & serious relationship status. | Cook dinner at 20:00 with Bree or Sasha for a reliable +5 LP boost. |
| Kink Points (KP) | >= 25 | Adventurous scene options (e.g., doggy style). | Choose “Demand” or “Take Charge” options during intimate moments to raise KP. |
| KP (Negative) | <= -25 | Unlocks partner-led “Dom” path scenes. | Choose “Submit” or “Let Her” options consistently to explore this route. |
| Girl Points (GP) | >= 50 | Opens dialogue for threesomes and poly relationships. | Build high LP with at least two girls before even discussing it. |
| Phone Booty Call | LP > 75, KP >= 25 | Skip straight to intimate scenes via phone. | The ultimate efficiency tool for grinding scene-specific rewards. |
Mastering Dates, Phone Texts, and Booty Calls?
This is where your point management pays off in spades. The phone system dates and interactions are your command center for romance.
The Date System: When you ask a girl out, you’ll spend 6 in-game hours on the date. Success is key! Always hover over dialogue options—they show the LP cost or gain. A good date can net you +20 LP or more. The magic happens after a successful date: you’ll get a chance to move to an intimate scene if your stats are high enough. This is the primary way to build both LP and KP organically.
The Phone – Your Best Friend: The phone is where the Love and Sex Second Base mechanics truly shine for the strategic player.
* Getting Numbers: First, you need her digits. This usually requires a decent LP level (often 30+).
* Dirty Texts: Once you have the number and some KP, you can start a steamy text conversation. This is a low-energy way to slowly boost both KP and LP. 💬
* Booty Call Unlocks: This is the crown jewel. When a character’s LP is above 75 and KP is at least 25, a new option appears: “Call for a good time.” This is your booty call unlock. Clicking it skips the entire date sequence and drops you straight into an intimate scene at your apartment. It is, without question, the most efficient way to farm for specific scene rewards. I once used back-to-back booty calls with Bree to max KP and unlock her special Bowsette cosplay scene in record time. It felt like gaming the matrix!
Remember: Every action on the phone costs time but little to no Energy. Use it while you’re recovering from work or the gym!
Unlocking Skills and Avoiding Rent Disasters?
Alright, let’s talk about the less sexy but absolutely critical part: survival. You can’t be a romantic hero if you’re homeless and starving. Here’s how to pay rent in game and build your stats efficiently.
The Rent: Every week, you need $100. You get paid from your job, which is tied to your Income attribute. Work is available Monday-Saturday during daytime hours. Each shift takes time and Energy, but it’s non-negotiable. My disaster story happened because I forgot this cardinal rule. > Set a mental alarm for every Friday: Rent Due. No exceptions. 🚨
Smart Grinding: Don’t just work mindlessly.
* Overtime: After your regular shift, you can often work overtime for a nice cash bonus. Do this early in the week to get rent sorted.
* Cooking is King: At 08:00 and 20:00, you can cook in the kitchen. If Bree or Sasha is there, cooking a meal with them restores Hunger and gives a sweet +5 LP. It’s the best daily habit in the game.
* Hover Over Everything: Before clicking any action, hover your cursor. The tooltip will show you the Energy, Hunger, and monetary cost or gain. This simple habit prevents you from accidentally bankrupting yourself or passing out.
The goal is balance. Spend a day working and hitting the gym (for Fitness). Spend an evening cooking (for LP and Hunger) and then studying (for Smarts). Use your recovered Energy the next day for a date or booty call. This rhythm keeps your stats climbing, your wallet full, and your lovers happy.
To wrap it all up, here’s a quick daily checklist to dominate the game:
- Morning (08:00): Cook breakfast if a roommate is in the kitchen. Free LP boost!
- Daytime: Work a shift for cash. Consider overtime if rent is coming up.
- After Work: Train an Attribute (Gym, Library) or go on a date if your Needs are high.
- Evening (20:00): Cook dinner for another LP boost. Recover Energy.
- Night: Use the phone for low-energy texting or, if your stats are banging, trigger a booty call.
- Weekly: PAY YOUR RENT BY FRIDAY.
