Training as an Awakened Player in Erothyria was vastly different compared to other fantasy games and worlds.
No matter how they evolve past it, an Awakened Player's power is always tied down to the act of sex they had on their Coming of Age.
People usually seem to forget that Erothyria is as much a world of desire as it is a world of magic. These two concepts are intertwined, and they are intertwined because the power of Divinity comes from the Divine God of Desire and sex himself, Eros.
It's not out of the ordinary or completely far from sense to have his people perform acts of sex — the very thing that he rules over, the very thing that gives him glory — in order for them to be willing to gain his powers.
Sex and lust, engaging in these activities, brings Eros glory, and in turn, makes him bless the engagers with more power.
