What do you mean?  The game companies won't do my parenting for me? And the store won't either?!?

That's almost as bad as McDonald's making my coffee hot.

I mean really; parents actually parenting?  That's some crazy talk there, that's what that is.

(Yes, I'm joking, lest someone actually take me seriously.  I know exactly what my 13 year old plays, reads and does on the internet.) 

Parents don't parent nowadays. That's a little last year. Like purple mink fur coats.

Putting sex in video games is like using fallacies in an argument. It doesn't work, it's insulting, and un-American!

I actually think that Jade Empire's make-out scene was the best of BioWare romance sub-plots. Enough to be satisfying, but not too over-the-top or creepy as I find is the case with Dragon Age and Mass Effect.

[merikano]

okay let me get this straight: we're talking about a thirty to forty hour game chocked full of violence, blood, and language and your top concern is a ten second sex scene?

There's was a very cool documentary that came out a few years ago called "This Film is Not Yet Rated" that spotlights the selective morality of the MPAA regarding sex and violence in the film industry. l find it humorous when people get so outraged by sexual content in media, which is a natural act (though I hear the Germans take it up a notch) yet seem-at the very least-tolerant of the violence in media, which by comparison,is much more destructive and influential IMO. Don't get me wrong, I like violence (daddy issues, ya know?), I just like sex more (more being the operative word for me, sigh!)

clearly juneya is not serious. kudos on baiting them to you. my opinion is that its everywhere else... why not in video games? We Americans are too prudish.

damn straight!

I'm with wryan2011. Why is something pro-creative more objectionable than something that is more destructive? If I have any objection to sex in video games it is in how some game developers portray it, that being with gross immaturity. So on one end you have the love scene in Mass Effect 1 and the other end you have DOA: Volleyball or the Hot Coffee mod.

[MentalKase]

Yeah all the time. It hard trying to balance a video game addition and keeping the gf happy so I can get some.

They should do it well, like in ME1 but don't be scared of nudity. Everyone knows what boobs look like already.

exactly, treat adult games like you would a rated r movie. use sex to help sell the story, make it realistic (these aren't teenagers worried about when to lose their virginity) and eventually people from fox and other fanatics will give up the harassment

its optional so i dont see the issues. theu dont force anything on you unlike other games

[rines]

ITS SICKening that there isn't way more sex in games.

[LurchALC]

For lack of a better word, its stupid. Video game developers know that it causes controversy, so they do it for free advertisement on the 24/7 news networks.



It doesn't add any thing to gameplay, unless you're a 12 year old. The sex scenes in ME1 were cheesy and overly dramatic. Yeah it was probably the best attempt thus far, but thats not saying much.



I'd rather have another 'shoot things' mission then computer animated sex.

[Dasher10]

Don't care one way or the other. As long as it fits the story.

[EmperorKaveje]

What do I think about sex in video games?



As long as your over 18

I think it's cool

[njmessy]

There's not enough sex in video games. There should be a hell of a lot more. But it needs to be done sensitively, appreciatively and thoughtfully...as all the best sex is. I am not saying we need graphic sex...but we certainly need a recognition of sex.

I still find it amazing how you can blow off heads, sever limbs, actually torture game characters but still...hmmm...we must not show bare buttocks, breasts or penises. OK, I guess that is the graphic side, which you could argue does not always relate to a sexual theme in a game. Take Fable 1 & 2 for example...I like the way they deal with the sex topic. Ideally in the future you should be able to father/mother children and train them to be your successors in future versions of ANY game.

[VelcroT]

Doesn't bother me. Doesn't really appeal to me either. It adds some depth to the story, but it also makes the 12 year old boys who tricked their parents into buying this game for them go "OMG OMG TALI IS SOOOOOOO HOTTTT!!!!" which is quite annoying.

[merikano]

Point blank, if you see a game that warns sexual content - and you take issue with that - then don't buy it. Or wait until your kid gets older, or better yet take some time to do the responsible thing and talk to your kid about sex because guess what, the time is now. Sex will find its way into every person's life and this isn't the 1800s anymore. Time has changed and so has parenting. You can keep a kid from playing a game with sexual content but you can't shut them out forever, better they learn the ins and outs of sex from you rather than a friend or some random porno they found lying around.



As for actual sex in games and how viable it is?



This was linked earlier but I think it needs to make another appearance:

Haha, best reaction ever!

Anyway, I don't really care about sex in video games. If it shows happy people doing what happy people like to do and it has the appropriate rating - fine by me. But I think this may also be a cultural thing. I remember when the Watchmen movie was just out and it came out in the US before it came out here (Netherlands). Every other US review was going on about the pointless male nudity and how that was too graphic and they could've done without that. When the Dutch reviews came out, I swear I didn't read one word about nudity and sex, but a lot of criticism (and praise, btw, but that's how reviews are) on the extremely graphic violence.
This attitude may also have something to do with the fact that prostitutes literally line the street I cycle through to get to the market every Saturday. I'm just desensitized
