i managed to piece together just about anything except for 2 or so chapters

Yes there are lots of things like these that are confusing.
Like the difference between into and in to more in general.
He dived in to the pool.
He drove the car into the garage.
For example.

yes. and no problem. the teacher in me slipped out

As a native English speaker, I will admit to not always knowing the exact rule, but I do know how to use the language. 
I have always understood “change in attitude” to refer to something which occurs over time, perhaps after learning new facts, or experiencing a situation for oneself leading to a revision of previously held opinions.
A “change of attitude” has always carried a connotation of immediacy, as in a parent telling a child they had best have a change of attitude right this moment, or else there will be consequences.

its a syntax thing:
“in” signifies the “change in attitude” caused an effect. i.e. “His change in attitude pleased his boss.”
“of” signifies something caused the “change of attitude” i.e. “He had a change of attitude after his boss became angry.”
in modern usage the difference between “in” vs “of” have become lost and are usually accepted as interchangeable in casual conversation. 
another use is inclusion vs cause
“He died in grief.” means something other than grief killed him but he was experiencing grief when he died.
“He died of grief.” means his grief killed him.
ok, turning off the evil school Ma’arm  

Thanks for clearing that up, its always little issues like this that bother me the most and I get stuck until I resolve them.

I’m not quite certain what the difference between the phrases ‘a change in attitude’ and ‘a change of attitude’ is. I know both of them exist, however the German translations don’t distinguish very well between them.
Is there a specific distinction between them? And if yes, what is it?
Let’s say we have this very simple (and stupid) example:
“You have changed.” said Frank when he noticed Bob’s change in/of attitude.
Which one would I use and why?

HI there,
I would like to throw in my two cents as well, if thats alright.
Personally I think it depends on how the parasite and the man interact with each other.
The parasite is inside then man’s brain, and self-aware, but does not actually influence the actions of the man (during sex). → no 3plus tag (maybe a voy tag if you want to be careful?) The parasite is controlling the man’s actions completely, with no input from his host. → again, no 3plus tag (again maybe voy if the man is still conscious and aware of what is happening?) The man and the parasite are working together in some fashion (willingly or not) and both take separate actions while they have sex with the women. → 3plus tag if you want, but personally, I wouldn’t say anything if there wasn’t one…
