People often joke about athletics checks or constitution saves... but let's be real here: the check you should be making during intimacy is probably an insight check to better read what your partner needs or is enjoying most ^.^
I was thinking Acrobatics and Performance, but you make a good point!
Relevant Rolls: -Athletics -Acrobatics -Sleight of Hand -Perception -Investigation -Persuasion -Performance -Nature -Stealth
I almost like this concept if you can pair it with interesting results after failing the occasional check. Fail a stealth check and another character shouts for you to keep it quiet. Fail a low number nature check and the romantic interest can question if you actually know what you're doing. Similarly with investigation or perception. Fail an acrobatics check and you wake up the next morning with a pulled muscle debuff. Fail an athletics check and the scene ends early. Fail an insight check and get a dissatisfied statement from the interest. Persuasion and insight can open up different ways for the scene to go. I think the idea that every encounter should be hot, steamy, and flawless is somewhat low-brow and introducing a bit of humor or shortfalls for character development in some scenes could be interesting. Fail a sleight of hand check and get a "I suggest you use your eyes because what you're grabbing is not what you think it is."
Edit to clarify... I mean this half serious half joking. Part of this is just riffing, but I wouldn't be upset if it made it into the game.
