No one is getting off to the sex scenes, so the argument that everyone is just a pervert and likes to see boobies is completely stupid. You're supposively having your character establish deep relationships that should culminate in sex. If the sex seems trite, then it's the fault of the writing and relationship building, not of the representation of the act.
Why should a deep relationship culminate in sex?
The fact is that you only need to look at the number of MODS for DAO that involve "upgraded" nudity and/or "upgraded lesbian scenes etc to see that your point above is perhaps a little on the idealistic side.
Okay, maybe they are getting off to it.
To make my point clear, though, I'm defending the use of sex as a very real character development aspect in fiction, including certain video games. I'm not saying DA2 or even DA:O handled these scenes well, or that I trust that they would handle them well in the future, but there are games that do handle these scenes extremely well and add depth to characters through them. Simply, if that's not the case here, it's not the fault of the sex scene itself, but of how it is handled. Therefore, people are not perverted for wanting quality sex scenes in a video game.
