That was actually pretty interesting to read from an outsiders perspective on what we "do" here on a regular basis.
Also it was funny. :-)
I hope some super innovative techy guy builds a technologically very advanced CH now after reading that.

Thanks for the share. Good website and articles in general, and an interesting (but limited) view of Cock Hero in that article in particular. (I especially enjoyed the "uncanny valley" hypothesis at one of the links.)

One funny part is, how the author doesn't seem to understand the concept behind occasions when a CH tells the player to use the "off" or non-dominant hand to fap. It's a surprise to me that people new to CH would still need to have that type of instruction explained to them. Some of the comments indicate, that other people (also new to CH) don't understand in a similarly misguided way. It's not about playing for a less than optimal experience, duh. It's about having to follow instructions, and of course if the only instruction is "do what is easy, what you want" then it's not an instruction at all. The more complex and UN-natural the instructed act, the more difficult to fulfill it. So each CH creator must balance between excess unnaturalness, to the point that the instruction cannot be performed, on the one hand (erm), and on the other hand, excess naturalness, to the point that the instruction seems hardly instructive at all. To me, an obvious concept. To several people, including the author of the article, a surprising and new concept. Well whaddayaknow ...

Which video screenshot is the one that says "the third ordeal"? Is that vampire?

Very interesting article. Thanks for the share.
I share book_guy's opinion. I don't think the author really understood the concept of using the off hand while stroking. For gaming using the off hand is stupid, but for stroking it's an importing concept.

The other parts of the article were solid. Especially interesting was the part about "over designing". There are already cock hero videos which want too much and lose focus about what is really important for a good cock hero movie. I'd count my OSU episode towards those movies which have design choices which could easily be left away, because they added no real value. Sometime less is just more.

Well that explains a lot about why SWTOR sucked so much.
