LLR: Sponge Body Bath Breakdown and Suggestions pt 1 (Patreon)

Hey there, Oxdarock here!

EDIT: Just a reminder that the deadline for suggestions will be Jan 1st 2024 at 12AM EST!

EDIT 2: Upon looking over ideas sent my way, I've adjusted a certain piece of background info, namely that only the Breasts, Butt, Belly, and WG baths all have an added TG effect on men, while the Giants bath has no effect on them at all. If you have any ideas you'd like to add or modify with this info in mind, feel free to do so.

Right then! The votes are in and the topic that I’ll focus on the for the Lusty Lamp has been decided! Looks like a majority of people wanted me to focus on the Sponge Body Baths, so that’s what we’ll do! Now comes the hard part: explaining the concept enough for people to brainstorm ideas. This is not a short read, so set aside some time if you want to partake in this.

Let’s start by setting down some ground rules. First off, all suggestions need at least one character and one growth/TF minimum, so long as it fits within what I’m asking for. Next, please avoid making characters overly lewd and/or horny without good reason (“overly” and “good reason” being the key words since I’ll probably have concepts that justify it). And lastly, please don’t look for loopholes within any concept I explain in order to include as many TFs as possible or go big for bigness’ sake. With the former, if I’m looking for those types of ideas, I’ll mention it explicitly, and for the latter, specifically for breast or butt growth, please don’t go past Massive-size. And for hourglass growth, the limit for equal growth is Giant-sized, Huge/Massive for unequal size. Anything bigger is something I’ll need to draw of my own accord.

Now that I’m done explaining the filters, let’s talk about the Sponge Body Baths: They pretty much work exactly how you think they will. The longer you bathe, the more the water soaks into the body, causing one to grow and/or change accordingly. Furthermore, they’re separated by the type of change they cause and are categorized into three groups: Growth, Species, and Doubling. For part 1 of this breakdown, we'll focus on the first category.

There are seven types of Growth Baths: breasts, butt, belly, weight gain, muscle, dick, and giant. In terms of size limit, you have Mega, Mammoth (both of which don’t matter since I put a hard cap of Massive-size), Humongous, Blimpish, Hulkish, Body-Length, and House-size (30 ft). Furthermore, with certain exceptions, most of the baths’ effects don't work on anyone below 140cm (4’ 7”). As such, there are Maturation showers which cause the body to mature physically and mentally up to that of an adult (in other words, age progression showers) that only work on women. Alternatively, there are regression showers that physically reverse one’s age no younger than 11 years old, which only works on men.

Now, here’s what I’m looking for: I need at least one picture for each of the growth baths and one for the Maturation shower, all done in a candid camera manner (i.e. the characters don’t pose for the viewer). Grand ($10) tier and above, as well as those with the High-End status can make suggestions and the number one can make depends on their tier. To do so, please leave a comment below or send me a private message. The ideas I decide to draw with will be based on my own methods and decision. The deadline for ideas will be… January 1st 2024. I’ll provide links to size and interest charts I use below. However, since I lack a chart for muscle or dick-size, here's how you can divide them:

Muscles: Thin, Toned, Built, Buff, Bulky, Hulkish

Dick-size: Normal, Forearm, Arm, Leg, Body

That’s all for the essential info. Though I won’t reveal which ideas I’ll draw, I’m fine with answering questions on whether those presented follow the concepts I’ve laid out and, more importantly, if I’m interested in the characters presented.

Alright, time for the lore dump. First off, as you might’ve guessed from the above paragraph, the Sponge Body Baths are mixed gender. There are private rooms with a number of baths customized for customers willing to pay a high price, but the public ones are free. However, the washing areas (similar to Japanese style bath houses) are separate gender. Woman can also take advantage of complimentary bathing suits for bath use. Furthermore, the Breast, Butt, Belly, and WG baths all have an added TG effect on men, while the Giants bath has no effect on them.

Next, regarding the amount of bathing time needed for growth to occur. For Breasts, Butt, Belly, and WG, it takes 5 minutes of soaking to grow by one tier for the first few levels, after which the time is increased to 10 minutes per tier. Muscle and Dick both take 10 minutes per tier and Giant takes 3 minutes per foot. There’s also a special body wash that will shorten the growth time or increase it. Once one exits the water, the growth/change will last for 1 hour before gradually returning one to their “normal” size. There’s also a “Reverse Sauna” which gradually revert any growth/changes via the baths in the order they occur until one reaches their “normal” state.

As the spa’s primary function is to extend the duration of any growth and/or TF currently affecting someone, there are special “New You Seal Massage" station on-site, which, by way of a special gel rub-over, can extend the duration of any current growth or TFs one might have up to one week, effectively making it one’s “normal” state. The number of available stations is limited, however, so customers can wait in a special foot bath that will retain one’s current TFs. Other baths also share this trait, along with their own growth/TF they cause. Furthermore, only one “New You Seal” effect applied in this manner can exist for any person at one time, so a clear decision must be made for accepting such treatment. However, it can be overwritten by other spa treatments.

Lastly, the feeling of growth via all Sponge Body Baths are arousing to some capacity, considering that the change is being absorbed into your body, essentially “filling you up.” It’s for this reason that some bath goers are known to utilize the body wash that decreases time time needed for growth/change to occur, in conjunction with repeated visits to the “Reverse Sauna” and various baths, creating what is known as a "Soak Switching" loop. While this is not restricted, as there is a limited capacity for the baths, and to prevent any health issues, guests known to engage in such behavior in the public baths frequently will eventually have a time limit placed on the amount of time they may bathe and will be charged for time extensions.

Oh wow, that was less of a info dump that I thought, all of which are meant to help people come up with ideas. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!

That’s all for now! I hope this goes well!
