There is a problem with "sex shouldn't be in these games, if you want sex go find it somewhere else" arguments.
The fact is, BioWare chose to include romance. And they decided that those romances should feature sex. So it's not unreasonable from the audience to actually expect an ... artistic? creative? interesting?... depiction of it.
It's not like whining because in Planescape: Torment you weren't given the option to roll in bed with Fall-from-Grace (great character, BTW), which would have been stupid and against the characterization (for the uninitiated, she was a reformed, chaste succubus). And mostly irrelevant, since romance played a relatively small part in the big picture.
But if you devote quite a lot of attention and focus on romances, put overly-sexualized characters in your game (ex. Morrigan or Miranda or Isabela) and actually include sex scenes with them, you might as well make them... well, sexy.
I agree it's not *necessary* for a good game, but I don't see why people shouldn't complain if they didn't like the way this was implemented.
You found the words I couldn't find not having English as my native language, thank you for that!

All the time it's the same with the guys that won't agree with us:" I don't need any sex in the game it's okay as it is blablabla...."
Bioware wants to improve so give more reasonable arguments than "keep status quo"--- Then let me say: I don't need all this splatter in-game. DA:O was okay but DA 2 is ridiculous... strike an enemy with your dagger and he is simply exploding.....

Sorry that I'm coming up with this but the sex and violence subject and how it is coped within the game fits soooooooooooooooooooooooo well the cliché of the violence hungry but prude Americans.
Thank you BioWare there are also other people on other continents who buy your games and have more liberal views on ethics and moral.
Before someone feels offended: Yes I know there are still many Americans that aren't conservative and share the same view but I can just repeat "cliché"...
