I think this is slightly self explanatory. How do you feel about sex in video games?

Personally, I don't really care. As long as it's not forced.

I believe in artistic freedom, if a developer chooses to include sex I have no issue with it.

What minasa said. If you don't like it, you don't have to buy the game.

What about sex in video games? No difference than sex in movies or TV shows. Not sure what the big deal is.

About what everybody else says, if the creator wants to put them in, it's fine.
With that said though, I don't really respond to it. Most of the time it just seems like an attempt to entice you or just plant some T+A on the screen to keep you satisfied. When I get to these things it bores me or seems tedious.

(sigh) One of the few I thought that did was the Mass Effect series and Far Cry 3. For me, if you're gonna include sex in the game, at least build up to it with some emotional development; doesn't have to be romantic per se. In FC3, the brief scene at the end added to the bizarre and sinister aspect of the tribal ceremony for me. Then in Mass Effect, it felt like a well deserved prize for getting invested in the relationship of Shepard and their partner and it wasn't tedious.

I haven't played FC3 so idk, but i'm referring to the actual intimate scenes. The. . . sex with clothes on (Because we don't want to fully commit to nudity) or the camera angles to dance around it. A lot of times it looks silly. Seriously, just have them start kissing, fall to the floor/bed/whatever, and fade to black.

"Blasphemous sinners! Fire and brimstone woodcocks for all o' ye! Rabble rabble, boo procreation! Rabble."
How about that sex in real life, ha ha? As a rule of thumb, I think what matters most is whether or not sex adds to the game experience or detracts in some fashion. Does it contribute to the story in some meaningful light? Does it act only as a merely exploitative distraction? Does Ivy's bust size in Soul Calibe/ur give +7 Armor rating or did she just make some California plastic surgeon all the more richer? Now, just to be different I'll say that while it's the creator or creators' freedom to add as much sex as they want to their game just like movies, TV, ect., they probably don't need to include it, either.
I've never played Mass Effect and the closest experience in this regard off the top of my head is Grand Theft Auto, maybe, which is obviously a horrible goddamn example of sex in video games in a remotely positive light heh heh. But really the entire premise just doesn't seem all that desirable a feature to me; I find that I give absolutely zero damns about real life actors having "sex" in movies and television, so sitting through a PG13 montage of digital figures tussling about in stilted animation seems like time that would have been better spent making a bonus ending or a gag reel even. Sex is such a personal and intimate act that basically walking in on what was supposed to be a virtual avatar of mine banging really just serves as a reminder that I'm playing a video game while that make-believe pixel prat is getting laid.
Jokes aside, they can throw in all sex as they want to in their games and I can accept it no problem, but I'm not going to give them a bloody medal as thought they're being edgy, especially if the game suffers in some way because of its inclusion.
