ughh... that only happens if you ask for it... right?

No, in the game, you are foced to engage in sex with everything.  Including inanimate objects.

...ok, no, all sex scenes in the game must be initiated by the player.

Anyone else getting this feeling Mathewgurney is a troll? >.<  Too much time on other forums I suppose.  Otherwise, it sounds like he is saying that the persuit of violence is a worthy goal, whereas sex outside of reproduction is unworthy. =|

Well, I wouldn't necessarily jump to that conclusion.  I know many people who subscribe to the belief that violence is a safer "sin" than sex, although they don't simplify it as such.  I think it has to do with the current fashions of religion, and the belief that people (especially children) are more prone to being persuaded to make sexual mistakes as opposed to being persuaded to violence.

Ok, so there is no romance required but I can romance everything? Just good to know things like that aren't forced onto people.

Not that it hasn't been mentioned a lot, but what would give you the idea that BioWare would force a relationship on you?

The game does bill itself on player choice, after all.

First off I'd just like to say that humans as a species aren't designed for war. We may have the technology, strength and intellect to destroy but first and fore most we are animals driven by pleasure. Modern thinking in both psychological and especially sociological, heterosexuality is as 'abnormal' as homosexuality. If someone is brought up in a healthy environment in the typical nuclear family then the child has tendencies to swing either way. Also in debates like this you have to draw a line between the difference of ****ing and sex, as each is subtly different as both terms are used in different contexts but rarely mean the same experience to the two or more individuals involved in the act. Same sex has been encountered in nature everywhere so can though's saying it's not 'natural' please go back to school and leave the adults to talk. I don't know the figures off by heart and I know nothing of the female homosexuals but I know in men there is for the population, round about 80% of gay males physiology is actually different to the typical male. If you average out biomass of the brain in ratio to body mass the homosexuals brain is actually in between the size of males and females. Obviously this doesn't immediately make that man gay as I'm sure there are 'straight' men who have this same trait. Was just putting the tid bit out there. All the stigma around homosexuality comes from religion and I know of only a hand full of religions that haven't paved their way through history and into power without blood. In all I feel it comes down to is if all you have is a religious text to back up your homophobia then you're a small person indeed. Get a back bone and stand up for what you believe is right, not what someone else has fed you. Someone boasted the whole 'doesn't help the species grow' well it's natures population control, and yes this world is over populated already. Did you know if everyone on this earth lived the life of a average american it would take 4 other worlds to sustain us? Anyhow running off topic. I'd like to add at this time every woman I've met has told me everyman they've been with and has tried it with has liked a slipped digit during a JB. Every single one. Do you know why? lol god I hope so because it would only speak volumes of your education. I could rattle on some more but I reckon I've said enough so far. I seriously implore you to study your own species history. Your own worlds history regarding 'taboos' instead of being told how to think, act and feel. Gays have been on the fore front of the entertainment industry setting standards. Not just in TV but in the music industry and fashion. Christianity deems all this the devils work I must add hahaha

the way he talks about is like hes saying that the player has to watch it and it always happens at some point in the game. the player has to actually choose for this scene to happen so unless the player wants to see the gay sex scene then hes not gonna see it.the people that want to watch the gay sex scene are the people that are already gay. so whats the big deal? its like people are like "oh noes those gay people get to watch something thats gay"

IMO teach your kids not to seduce people of their gender.



Should I ever be fortunate enough to kidnap some I plan on teaching them these things.

It's not natural, meaning it doesn't happen in nature and it's only mankind's sickness?



So, like, it doesn't happen with non-human animals, in nature, right?

http://www.psycholog...906/gay-animals

and now I await the attempts to dismiss the sources - poisoning the well as it were - such as "Don't trust wikipedia" and "psychology isn't really science" and such.

followed by the "so we, as higher evolved creatures, should act like animals?" dismissing the whole "natural" argument, or the "God didn't intend" line that shows that "nature" was code for "religious belief."

Wait what? Digital and analog?

It's the simplest way to describe the results.

Essentially, they measured arousal (via brain activity), and found that men tend to be Yes/No - either attracted or not attracted to same/opposite sex, while women have varying degrees. Note of course that this is in relation to the sexes.
So a male can have varying responses to females, or varying attractions to males (depending on if the female or male were hot or not, obviously) but they were always confined to one sex - either they were aroused (to whatever degree) to only females, or to only males. Those who claimed they were straight all responded only to females, all who claimed they were bi/homosexual responded only to males.
Alternatively, all females had arousal responses to both sexes, of varying degrees. Those who claimed to be homosexual had stronger responses to females, vice-versa for those claiming to be hetrosexual, and somewhere in the middle for those claiming to be bisexual.

Could ask why media always assumes games are meant for children.

Because the media in general are utter morons. (Kind of like how a person is smart, but people are dumb.)

Assume that only 10 year olds play games. When kids at 10, they start to play - the same amount every year. The NES came out in 1985. Those 10 year olds are now 34. The average age would be 27.

You expect too much from humanity friend.

[Templ]

Keep doing what you're doing, Bioware. The comments from people who like to judge those they don't understand are priceless.

[scootermcgaffin]

Yes, lowering the level of conversation even more will certainly make me feel better about the low level of the conversation.

Do you have this study handy? I'm curious about the subject pool. Specifically the numbers for each test group.

There are many problems with testing sexuality in a laboratory setting. Too many to discuss here and all of which are unrelated to Jimmy Kimmel or Dragon Age.

I'm 29, my 5 year-old daughter watches me play this game.
I have absolutely no problem with her seeing the violence, in fact i see it as a positive thing for her to understand.
The world is violent and contains horrors worse than any she could see depicted in a video game, seeing it in a mild animated form now will only help her deal with it better should she ever encounter such things in reality.
Also man's problems throughout history have nearly always been solved conclusively with violence such as depicted in the game, having an understanding of such things makes her stronger.
However
Gay sex is not something i want her seeing, it's a non-productive "consumer" activity with no relevant application to a situation in her later life other than a basic way of understanding others motivations or seeking some transitory pleasure of her own.
The straight sex scenes if she were to see any and the inevitable questions she'd ask would lead to a useful discussion for her with me and her mother on reproduction, human evolution and a huge amount of related subjects geographical, medical, anthropological etc.

I don't blame you. Let her watch hetro-sex its much more satisfying.....unless she's a lesbian inside!  But your morals will surely change her, if that's her perrogative..  Maybe she'll turn out to be a nice serial killer or mercenary when she grows up.

Wait people came into this thread expecting something good? Even the seemingly well thought out rants are very possibly just terribly clever trolling.
