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.

The reason there is a lack of sex in games, is because it won’t work. There have been attempts in the past, but they fell flat on their ar$e.
Gamers don't want to be bored with the intricacies of how sex works in their gaming environments, they want to blow the s**t out of armies of bad guy's who want to take over the world.
There's little market for games, which concentrate, too much on sex, and besides, that's what the Internet was designed for.
