I posted this a bit earlier, then took it out when it wasn't in keeping with that particular page's tone.
I've seen all the different grades of sexy cutscene, from full on nudity to "I cheated on Kaidan Alenko and all I got was this lousy headbump."
I don't have a specific preference, rather I'll say this: explicit doesn't equal sexy or good, necessarily. For me, the two sexiest moments in any Bioware RPG are that first Ander's kiss in DA2, and the locker scene in ME1. Bear in mind that I first saw Ander's kiss scene entirely out-of-context. Someone put a link to it here in this thread (as an example of how many times you have to confirm a flirt to get an actual relationship in DA2) and I thought "ohmygod now that is something."
Showing actual tenderness and need outside of the final "night of whatever" we get at the end is what's most important to me, apparently. I actually find the ME1 horizontal mambo scenes vaguely embarrassing to watch, while the locker scene never fails to make me smile.
(As for the "is Anders really a retcon?" debate, I'd say that it's completely understandable for someone who spent their teen years in an incredibly repressive environment to develop the "take my affection where I can" mindset. It's a known psychological response to imprisonment, after all)
I'd recommend people read Zero Punctuation's
Yahtzee's little essay on enjoying the gay romance as a straight dude playing DA2. It warms my cynical little heart.
