Now lets talk about sex for a moment, its a bit of a not talked about subject among gamers and gaming companies. As its one of those censored things and are usually not put into games. Another subject that used to be frowned upon was death, but as you all know it has dominated the gaming industries. And is even used to help people with there typing skills : "Typing of the Dead".

But when are the gaming companies gonna learn to get around this. Most games when it comes to having to show off sex, as it is vital to the plot, then show it very badly. Take "Black and White" and "The Sims" for example. There way of showing it, is to make them kiss. In Black And White all you see is two small figures run up to each other, and kiss, then a second later they walk off. In The Sims its exactly the same concept, except it needs allot more kisses. I don't know about you, but I don't remember the last time I saw someone get pregnant by kissing.

And then in games like the Settlers Quadrology, people just happen to appear, from nowhere. It seems there in an unlimited supply, of male people, all adults. Very Strange. Then the only games I know about that deal with sex in a different way is "Torment" and "GTA 3", where they insert prostitutes. This seems to be a much better way of showing what sex really is, even if they do blank off the screen, or show a side angle. Now I’m not some weird sex maniac, or expert. And I’m not trying to say that sex should be shown properly, as it would boost all Age Limits to 18. But I think Gaming Companies should show it in a realistic way, as some people, especially younger under educated gamers might get the wrong idea.

Good ideas, lets show genitals in games!

Better idea, lets not so people of all ages, Australians and Germans can play them.

My god, when did i ever say that i wanted to exactly see it. When did i ever say in it that i wanted to see games showing people having actual sex all i said is they should frame how they show it in games. As in maybe in Black and White, the small people could go off into one of the houses together then walk out again. Not zoom in and show every little detail about what there doing u little sickos.

That implies that you wanted to see more than just the kissing...
