- make scenes ramp-down, not up -
Potent events come in bursts and then ramp down.
Also, this automatically creates closure at the end.

The ideal dip is at least 4 steps down:
10 -> 6
sexy pose -> nude



Do not skip the sex scene.

This is essential for closure, because everyone wants to see it.



Don't follow the graphs too closely.
Just make sure that events flow downward, and then jump higher afterwards.


It's okay to use very short "2-step" patterns

If the end mirrors the beginning, it can imply a repeatable situation.
You can only mirror the beginning starting with its first peak, so it may be a good idea to start scenarios on a peak.
