What kinda of buff could you get from sex?

According to MMORPG.com the new game Age of Conan will have a way for characters to have sex and the characters will then receive a buff from it.
"MMORPG.com has learned from a reliable source at Funcom that characters will be able to have sex and will receive a buff for the action. That is not to say, however, that there will be explicit sex in the game."
So that got me thinking about what that buff could be and if I was programing it, how would I do it. (Note: this is only for straight sex, there would have to be a whole different system for gay sex.)

First off, I would make a different buff for both male and female characters, however, female characters would not automatically get the buff.

The chance that the female character would get the Female Sex Buff (FSB) would be based upon a complicated fomula. The formula would start out that the FSB procs 30% of the time after having sex. However, every time the FSB procs, that chance goes up by 2% to a maximum of 60%. The male character would also affect the FSB, they would start at 0% and go up .5% each time they have sex -- however that percentage can be increased if the male's partner gets the FSB three times in a row (i.e. the male cause the FSB to proc three times in a row with any partner) after that happened their percentage to cause a FSB would start going up by 2% an encounter to a max of 40% -- therefore a Male and a female character at max would always cause a FSB to proc.

The Buff for the male would be the following:

Testosterone Buff: Character must not do anything strenuous for 5 minutes, which would include running or fighting. If they rest for 5 minutes they get a 25% buff to all stats and vitality for 2 hours. If rest is interrupted by any strenuous work they lose 25% to all stats for 20 minutes.

The FSB would be:

The Glowing Buff: Character gets an immediate buff which includes a 15% haste rating increase and a 15% buff to all stats and vitality for 3 hours.

So the Age of Conan would be just like real life in the sense that after the sex the woman is ready for more and all the guy wants to do is go to sleep. Also, men will lie about how big their proc rate is just to get a women in bed with him!

Males should also have an attunement to the FSB, enabling them to help make the FSB happen. The attunement could be like a riding skill (no pun intended... erm....) or perhaps a searching / foraging skill. The higher it is, the more chane you find what you need, so the higher the chance of the FSB proc'ing.

The more I hear about AoC, the less likely I am to play it

With the gaming crowd I'm afraid there will be way to much self proccing going on lol

:) Hilarious... and might be implemented lol.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on how gay / lesbian sex would work considering things like they know how to please the same sex easier as they have experience with their own body.

I love how you make the female buff last 3 hrs but he male only 20 minutes lol. What you say about rest for males is true - but also the fact that gay males have the most sex, straight couples second, and lesbians least - perhaps because we need our buffs? ;)
