I mean, even if yes he is manipulating her lower chakras as if they were a
video game controller, by extension the game he is racking up points on is
in her brain and anahata (well maybe maybe not) and ajna/sahasrara chakras
- it’s Maxine’s game.

Unlike Frenesi, who’s playing Brock’s game, by Brock’s rules, and Brock
does rule (for awhile.)

We even get some insight into Maxine’s system for scoring Windust -
“ IN THE MELANCHOLY LIGHT, Maxine scans Windust’s face for evidence of
emotion. For a quickie, it was OK even if God forbid there should be
anything like eye contact around here. On the other  hand, at least he used
a condom—wait, wait, junior-prom reflexes aren’t bad enough, she’s doing
credits and debits on this now also?”

Although she’s humorously questioning herself for doing so, it’s definitely
she who is rating him.
