i dont really play Sex Video Games very often, so i have a relatively limited list of experiences. that being said, i'm a dabbler. why not.

the very first one i ever played was a game jam demo really focused on allowing the player to have positive consensual sexual encounters that they could pause or stop at any time. i thought this was sweet but kind of unremarkable, because it seems intuitive that in a video game meant for the player's sexual gratification, the player should have ultimate control. not that they can make the developer tell a story they didn't write--this isn't a live encounter after all, there's technical limitations--but they ought to be able to enjoy the game at their own pace and, if the scenario is making them more upset than horny, back away at any time. i think the easiest way to accomplish this is being able to be sent back to the point before the encounter/pre-encounter autosave, but in some cases it would be interesting and very do-able to stop the scene diegetically.

anyways, I have not yet seen a single pornographic video game with this feature since that first one
