Lesson of Passion set to steam up your mobile

Many of us Brits are a little too prudish to attend lessons in passion. Sitting in a classroom, watching someone illustrate on a blackboard how to effectively seduce a member of the opposite sex would leave many red faced and studying the surface of their desk with apparent fervour.

So the opportunity to take such lessons discretely on a mobile phone will come as good news to some. Developed by VividGames, Lesson of Passion is an erotic title that looks to be just about the most complicated game about sex we have ever seen – we suppose it's apt, really.

You play a young stud in a new town (sorry ladies, this title is aimed squarely at a male audience) in what is essentially a stat-driven dating sim.

You are given 100 days to get a good education, find a career and meet as many attractive girls as you can. Every minutiae of the dating tightrope is taken into account here, with responsibilities such as grooming, buying condoms and giving presents all part of the gameplay.

There appears to be a multitude of stats, too, meaning that you will have to work hard to win the affections of one of the three girls featured in the game (all played by famous pornstars, apparently – we obviously wouldn't know). By 'win the affections', what we really mean is 'unlock the naughty photos', which is what this game ultimately appears to be about.

Even so, there definitely seems to be more of an in-depth experience here than is typical of erotic games, which could make it an alluring prospect if executed deftly.
