Sex is the answer to obtaining the best perks in life, at least that’s the case when playingStarfield. It turns out that if you want to get a massive XP boost, you need to be getting down and dirty with those companions of yours.
OurStarfieldreview explains romance further if you need some pointers!
The ‘Emotional Security' perk is similar toFallout’s ‘Well Rested’, in that it offers a 24 minute long boost to the XP you gain. Come on, if the choice is between sleeping and shagging, most of us are going to pick shagging, and not just because we’re all horny at heart but because it benefits ourStarfieldcharacter’s progression.

Unfortunately, at least for those of you who don’t want to be chained down (commitment-wise), you can’t just hop in the sack willy-nilly – romance needs to be instigated, otherwise, you’re fresh out of luck. Still, while you can’t have a one-night stand or afternoon delight without a strong bond, you can easily romance certain NPCs thanks toBethesda’s generously low approval threshold.
You won’t see any sex scenes, though, despite the fact that NPCs might comment on being a “little wild”, which is disappointing but unsurprisingly given Bethesda’s track record with romance. If you want graphic sex scenes, you need to head toBaldur’s Gate 3because tame it is not, and not just due to the fact you can have sex with a bear;BG3is a celebration of kink, whereasStarfieldis just happy to get laid.
If you’re abstaining from sex, while we understand and respect your decision, you will miss out on more than getting cosy with someone you like. However, there are other ways to get nice perks, like ahandy hackthat gets you the best spacesuit in the game.
