Difficulty Levels¶
Every session carries a difficulty number. You see it on the proposal sheet before you confirm.
The number is always 3¶
Every session is created at difficulty 3 of 5. It is not picked per session and it is not a dial you or she can turn, so the proposal sheet always reads "Difficulty: ⅗". It exists to keep the session XP award steady. See After the Session.
If you were expecting the number to move with how hard a session felt, it does not. Nothing in the app sets it to 1, 2, 4 or 5.
What actually varies¶
A session that felt harder or softer than the last one changed on these instead:
| Lever | Effect |
|---|---|
| Her intensity and tone | How hard her voice lands. |
| Her current mood | Warm, level, or cold delivery. |
| Your level | How severe the demands she picks are. |
| The focus fetishes of that session | What the scene is actually about. |
| Your inventory | Which items she can call for. |
| How long you stay | She paces by how many directives she has given, not by a plan. |
What she uses¶
- Your active interests, anything you rated at one heart or more. These shape what content appears. See Interest levels.
- Your hard limits. These are excluded entirely.
- Your inventory. She only asks for items you have switched on.
- The Domina's personality (tone, speech style, traits, specialties) and her current mood.
- Your level.
Your level (Novice I to Master) is not only a badge. She is told your level on every turn and asked to match the severity of what she demands to it. A Novice gets fundamentals. A Master gets real severity, and softening a demand "to be safe" when you asked for more counts as her failing you.
It does not touch the difficulty number. That stays at 3 whatever your level is.
Your hard limits stay the only content boundary, and the safe word is always the brake.
Asking for a specific session¶
Telling her what you want before she proposes shapes what she offers:
- "Keep it short tonight, maybe 15 minutes."
- "Focus on chastity, skip impact."
- "I want something stricter this evening."
She reads the message and rebuilds the proposal around it. Naming a difficulty number does nothing, because the number is fixed, but specific content steers reliably change what she proposes.
Why a session might surprise you¶
- You changed your interest levels recently. She adjusted.
- She is displeased with you. Her tone hits harder.
- Your level went up, so she is calibrating higher than last time.
- You skipped warm-up by asking for "no preamble".
If a session lands wrong, tell her so in the chat. That is the channel she reads, and the tone of your replies nudges her mood, though it takes several turns pulling the same way to move her a step. The 1 to 5 rating on the End session page is private feedback for us and never reaches her.
