Female Vulnerability in Skyrim Sex Mods
This is one possible way to explain why females are so vulnerable in many LoversLab mods. If you play a female character and use various peril, assault, or forced sex mods, perhaps it will help you rationalize your gameplay.
The premise is simple: The people of the Elder Scrolls games are not human. That might seem obvious when considering beings in a fantasy universe with magic and dragons, but discussions often arise in regard to how easily women can be subdued in sex mods, with arguments that it's unrealistic. Based on what, real-life humans? But the women in Elder Scrolls games aren't human. They're Nords, Altmer, and so on. Why should they have human physiology in every respect? Let's accept that they don't, and go from there.
When a cat is held by the scruff of the neck, it tends to go limp and become much easier to manage. It's an involuntary response. Suppose that Elder Scrolls women have similar grab points. Let's assume that they have a lot of them, and with a stronger reaction, so that they become helpless for enough time to be subdued. Those points could be anywhere that you care to imagine (the back of the neck, ear lobes, tip of the nose, elbows, or other joints). When threatened, a woman would have too many vulnerable places to protect, so she'll be subdued unless she's very quick to get away.
Unless she's encased from head to toe in hard armor (and laws that promote male dominance probably restrict that sort of thing), she's vulnerable to a take-down even by a level-one nobody. Even the strongest man will be incapacitated by a well aimed kick to the crotch. It doesn't matter how tough or strong ("high level") he is.
It's not easy being a woman in Skyrim.
Continuing the thought process, we can explain other "unrealistic" phenomena. Why are all women in modded Skyrim beautiful? Because it's natural for them to be. Why do all women in Skyrim (depending on body mods) lack body hair? They simply don't have it.
Why (without installing a pregnancy mod) isn't pregnancy a thing? And what about periods? Maybe these women don't have them (it's not *all* bad for them), and contraception might be as easy as a bit of common thistle brewed as a tea (or chewed raw if necessary). Perhaps those female grab points are nature's answer to the ease of contraception.
If this helps you, great. If not, that's fine, but this is not intended to be a discussion of sex mod inadequacies, what you want them to do, or the things that you dislike about them. It's just an attempt to rationalize some existing behavior.
