Basically the Sensations Core is the brains of the entire system. It keeps track of your avatar's current sexual state.
In combination with the other organs, weapons, toys, etc. the core gathers statistics on your behavior. Most of these statistics (in simplified form) can be seen on the Core's HUD.
Here is a list of statistics and a brief summary of their uses:
Arousal - This is your current arousal state, it is divided into 10 point sections and slowly decreases over time. When it exceeds 99 you have an orgasm. This value is reported to the other organs which respond accordingly. For instance when arousal exceeds 10 the penis will become erect. The penis and clit will both play random sounds at different arousal stages when sound packs are installed. Most of the other statistics affect the change of the arousal.
Recovery - This statistic slowly increases over time. When you orgasm your new arousal level is that of your recovery level and your recovery level drops. Therefore it will be very easy for people who have not orgasmed in a while to have multiple orgasms. Additionally this statistic causes horniness when too high in combination with the nympho statistic.
Nympho - This statistic slowly decreases over time. It increases every time you orgasm. When you have a high nympho statistic and your recovery statistic gets too high you will begin to exhibit signs of horniness.
Pain - Having a weapon used on you causes pain. The type of blow and type of weapon dictate how much pain is inflicted. The pain statistic is related to the Sado and Maso statistics. If your sado is low then having high pain will slow your arousal. If your sado is high having high pain will boost your arousal.
Dom - This statistic indicates your predilection for Dominant behavior and slowly decreases over time. This is related to the submission statistic. If your partner's submission statistic increases and you are *NOT* wearing submissive items your Dominance statistic will increase. If you have a high Dom statistic and submissive items are present on your partner(s) you will receive an arousal bonus.
Sub - This statistic indicates your predilection for submissive behavior and slowly decreases over time. This works in conjuction with the Amethyst Collar and Cuffs and soon other D/s products from other vendors. When you orgasm while wearing submissive items, or while on a submissive devices your submission statistic will increase. If you have a high sub statistic and submissive items are present you will receive an arousal bonus.
Sado - This statistic indicates your predilection for sadistic behavior and slowly decreases over time. The more times you cause your partner to orgasm while in pain the higher this value becomes. If you have a high sado statistic you will receive arousal bonuses for causing your partner pain. See the pain section for more information.
Maso - This statistic indicates your predilection for masochistic behavior and slowly decreases over time. The more times you orgasm while in pain, the higher this value becomes. See the pain section for more information.
Strength - This is your maximum strength. You build strength by performing physical activities such as walking or having sex. Your strength gradually decreases over time. Your strength affects the effectiveness of your weapon attacks and is also the cap of your stamina.
Stamina - This statistic shows how much you can do before you become fatigued and slowly increases over time. Every swing of a weapon causes fatigue. When stamina reaches 0 your effectiveness is greatly diminished and it becomes visible to others.
