There's No Sex in Your Violence

Gamers mimic Americans perfectly (American gamer here) in that regarding popular entertainment (TV movies games) most are stimulated by obscene, revolting violence, and bolt at the first sign of titillation or sexual innuendo. Why are gamers cool with the violence, but queasy about the sex? It's obviously because all of them are psychopathic, antisocial, perverted virgins. J/k. I actually don't know why there isn't more sex in games. Who's for more sex in videogames? I'm in

Euphoria begs to differ, you round-eye slag.

In Super Mario 3D World during the closing credits there's a riff on Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, where you are controlling Mario with the right stick and Toad with the left stick, DPing Princess Peach. Besides that though

There isn't any sex because will somebody please think about the children. America is terrified of sex. But violence? Violence is fucking wizard cool.

I also think Catherine should have had a sexy mini game.

Watch a minute of a scene in a great action movie. Now watch a minute of a scene in a great porn. Which one constantly changes up how you need to deal with the situation from one second to the next, and which one is repetitive? There's a reason sex and games don't mix well.

Wait, I seriously don't know which one you're saying is repetitive.

That's an interesting view James

Still I would guess most porns cost under $100,000 to make (I really have no idea about porn budgeting though honestly) whereas a good action movie costs hundreds of millions of dollars. My point is that videogame developers have more resources than porn directors, which they could use to make sex more compelling than your average porn.

Also by nature, sex is more repetitious than violence. Sex is often repetition, finding a pattern than gels and repeating until getting off. Whereas violence can be very short, one gunshot, boom, dead. Maybe this confirms your argument that sex isn't suited to videogames, but I think maybe our attention spans are too short and we could benefit by repetitive activity while being rewarded because it's sexual. Dark Souls is very repetitive, but that adds to the quality of the game. All that grinding, parrying and stabbing skeletons and knights, before you take down a boss and feel an immense, almost orgasmic sense of satisfaction. Dark Souls is very sexual.

Sorry for that Dark Souls digression, that game gives me a boner.

I think videogame developers are talented enough to incorporate sex in ways that don't bore us.

First, it's slowly becoming more prevalent. There were the sex scenes in Mass Effect, there's clothed sex scenes in that Ride to Hell Retribution game, and the GTA series has evolved from Hot Coffee to being able to see strippers' bare breasts in all their decagonal nippled glory.

I think the issue isn't being queasy about sex as it is being queasy about sex among video game characters. How many people out there would honestly derive erotic enjoyment in watching Duke Nukem engage in sexual intercourse? How many people would boot up Dragon's Crown to play the mini game where you watch the sorceress's tits wrap around to slap herself in the face with every downstroke, all while being rammed by ... who, the wizard? the dwarf? If Hunie Pop takes the same approach as the innumerable hentai games, there will be all kinds of audio and visual imagery of the women having sex, but all of it -including the money shots - will be done without showing any actual physical interaction with another person.

Making a pornographic equivalent of a video game would require some kind of mechanic to somehow make the actual physical action entertaining, as well as have it utilize characters whom an audience would desire to see make those physical actions. It's not terribly surprising to me that most game developers haven't even made an honest attempt at it.

Not so fast...

Boyes even phoned in, much to the delight of the couple.

Unfortunately, the combined powers of PS4, The Playroom and Twitch have also been used for great evil not so good; GameRevolution reports [Warning: subject matter NSFW] that a man exposed his drunk wife's breast and later stripped her completely naked during a livestream. Twitch banned the offending account, but we have to wonder if we're going to have a Nintendo-shutting down-SpotPass-for-Swapnote situation on our hands.

The action movie, unless you're watching shitty porn.

I'm not talking about pornographic videogames, and the twin sticks Dp'ing Peach thing was a joke (obviously).

Sex should be more of a factor in the cutscenes of mature games though. Or if not sex, anything but violence. I find it sad that even if the most kiddie of games, the primary game mechanic is murder. I feel so bad for all the Koopa Troopas I have hopped upon. They liked their shells, and I took those green pieces of themselves away from the poor turtles, and for what? To beat the game? For glory? The honor of my family? So cold, so calculating, to divorce a Koopa from his shell. That's all the Koopas have, ultimately. I feel like a first world country razing a third world one for money and profit sometimes. So merciless...

If we had live-action video cutscenes again, and Duke Nukem was railing Bree Olson or Sasha Grey, possibly both, at the same time...I mean yeah I'd be down

Sasha Grey retired, along with her pubic hair and her mouth full of dumb adjectives. Pick another porn star pls.

I know she retired and became a "legit" actress even though her most notable role so far has been playing a hooker. I'll pick another though. Jessie Rogers

She actually retired too, Gracie Glam

Sex shouldn't be in cut-scenes because cut-scenes are what happens in a game when it takes control away.

Down for what, though? What kind of context would make your viewing of this scene be palatable?

How much work would be required to make something like this be anything above a laughable farce? I'd wager it would be far more than what most any animation studio or supporting publisher would be willing to expend.

I would be more impressed with love stories that are well thought out and impactful in videogames. If sex enhances those scenes I'm all for it. I'm good without purposeless sex OR gore in games. It's numbing in a way that ruins the experience for me.

Holy fuck where did you come from?
