Kino Escalation Explanation

Kino Escalation is composed of a series of Kino Advances. Each advance needs to be evaluated for its results before making another advance. Kino Advances are a form of experimental tests to see how your partner is receiving your body communication. Each Kino Advance can result in a:

Collapse - Partner becomes frigid and cold. A complete shut-out. No further kino is accepted.

Contraction - Kino acception is reduced to the lower level, but is still repairable. A small punishment for "crossing the line".

Maintenance - Kino level is maintained. 'Credit' is neither lost or gained.

Expansion - Kino is accepted. Your partner will now accept the next higher level of Kino.

Acceleration - A Kino explosion. Every form of Kino (besides Initimate usually) is accepted and encouraged. Your partner will most likely begin Kino as well.
