Line 12:
The extreme of '''IKEA Erotica''' is "verbing the noun", in which the scene is given mostly or entirely in subject-verb-object sentences in which the key words could be replaced by anything and you'd have difficulty noticing.
 
Not to be confused with [http://www.furnitureporn.com/ furniture] [https://web.archive.org/web/20131030120913/http://www.strangehorizons.com/2006/20060213/copley-woods-f.shtml porn]. Or [http://www.cockeyed.com/pranks/ikea_party/ikea01.shtml The IKEA Fancy Dress Dinner Party]. Also not to be confused with a [[Cargo Ship]].

Line 69:
** Well, theoretically optional, but given the rest of the manual's emphasis on the least arousing sex this side of a court-ordered chemical sterilization, you might as well just do it. You're already a sex offender just for agreeing to play the game; just as well hang for a sheep as a lamb.

* Considering the purposes they're purchased for, it's ''amazing'' just how bad the writing in most English hentai games is when it comes to sex scenes. In most cases, the writers probably either:
** 1.# Have much more interest in writing a story than shoehorning in what the [[Executive Meddling|executives]] consider to be the selling point of these games. Game requires adult content to sell? Fine, here's a stupid sex scene, now let me get back to the interesting bit. In some of these games, you can cut the sex completely without missing anything in the plot, and probably make it ''better'' - these may get an all-ages console releases.
** 2.# Know exactly how silly the game they're writing for are, so why bother making it good? [[They Just Didn't Care]] anyway. In fact, why not making the sex even dumber than it already is. They may even garner some cheap laughs from [[So Bad It's Good|how bad it is]]. The term "[[wikipedia:Sexploitation film|sexploitation]]" is invented and reserved for this kind of things, as shown below.
** 3.# Got some [[wikipedia:Ghostwriter|ghostwriters]] involved somewhere in the process. You can tell from the clear difference in writing between the erotic scenes and the rest of the game.
* [[Divi-dead]] [[Up to Eleven|takes it to a whole other level]] with such gems as "shove your eggplant up to my ribcage!", and the hero always, always, '''always''' finishes with '''"I'm BLASTING!"'''
* It can probably be explained mostly with poor translation job by people who had little to no actual experience, since those games were originally in Japanese.
** Sometimes even when the translation is good, it's often too clinical, and marred with [[Unsound Effect|strange sound effects]].
* Used to [[Tropes Are Not Bad|great effect]] in [[Katawa Shoujo]] whenever a sex scene is supposed to be awkward.

** Text reads ''"not without a washer!"'' in Portuguese, by the way.
* The [[Porn Without Plot]] of certain fixations and fetishes can turn into matherotica, when the author decides that the best way to spark the reader's libido is by rattling off measurements. A blend of IKEA Erotica and a failure to [[Show, Don't Tell]], it misunderstands the thrill of the impossible which fuels these fantasies as "her breasts had become even bigger and heavier, growing five pounds and a full two inches in diameter in the course of one day, making her a 62FF."

* In [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]]'s review of ''The New Guardians #1'':
{{quote|'''Linkara''': "Considering your team's mission statement is only about procreation, you really don't need to know all that much. Insert A into B, repeat as needed."}}
