The problem with the eroge is that everyone of them is the same and looks similar. O_O Every girl is a virgin. And the blood must show.
This is so not true. I have played alot eroges though I prefer non erotic visual novels. And even though eroge doesn't mean it's necessarily a visual novel, that's what they usually are. And about the realism, you must remember that visual novels are ADV, not ren ai.
I know it's not supposed to be realistic. But isn't it weird that otaku are obsessed with that otherwise they can't enjoy the game or something. I think that's stupid and nasty but it seems that every otaku (male ones since I am talking about male oriented adult visual novels and eroge) has that kind of virgin and blood fetish. Can you confidently say that most girls in those games are not virgins and bleed? And they
must show the blood coming out a lot together with semen. O_O I am sure that's the case most of the time. The cliches in hentai manga mentioned are nothing compared with this since they are not present like 99% of the time.
The realism part was just a side note, since most people don't get that visual novels are ADVs.
My point was, as I said, that 'tis not true. Maybe you've just happened to play the ones that have those things. But though in most cases the girls are virgins, there are some non-virgin girls too. But when the story is about a pure romance, the girls (or guys) not being virgins would be pretty out of place. And when the theme is darker, or the guy is more or less sadistic, it's not inappropriate. Also, though showing blood is common, it's not so in most cases, or at least not noticeably so.
Instead, what I would consider a cliché, is that even when there's blood, it almost never hurts the girls. Or rather, it hurts at first, but almost immediately it turns to pleasure. And I don't see that it would somehow be more unromantic than with the pain, and without the pleasure. Of course, eroges tend to be more porn than actual story (though it's supposed to be eroge, not pornge), adjusted according to mainstream (I curse you yet again, mainstream).
