Dedicated to Niddle and his fapping incident, the filthy dawggg.
Sex is the reason every person exists (Unless you are a test tube baby, damn modern science) and is a part of everyday life. Statistically 10,000 are having sex at any one moment in time. Sex isn’t culturally accepted into all cultures but amongst most of us it is an issue that occurs in our everyday lives. Sex is a big thing within the media, newspapers contain sex (Page 3 topless models), on TV (Channel 5, anytime of the day) and the internet (about 1 million porn sites) as well as magazines and many other forms of sex in the media. However one form of media which has barely scratched the surface of sex and they don’t seem to realise just how well it sells. That form of media is the computer games industry, and it is a damn shame.
The few incidences where computer games have included sex and nudity in them, are poor and the public seem to show little interest in them, with the exception of 14 year old boys who ‘aren’t getting any’. If we look at probably the first game with nudity in, it is Duke Nukem with the pixelly-boobed lap dancers in a club. This game was not recognised for its nudity, it was recognised for its bevy of weapons and the fact ‘The Duke’ swore now and again. Another game with nudity included is BMX XXX, a reputedly bad game that sold about 11 copies worldwide. The nudity is pixelly and the animations are jerky. If people bought the game solely because of the ‘XXX’ on the cover, under the illusion it would be like those videos their dad hides behind the sofa, they will be utterly heartbroken.
Tomb Raider is the game that overly aroused a whole generation of 13 year olds, before they realised boobs weren’t octagonal and women don’t make sexual noises every time they jump. The game is probably the only game that sold well because of its sexual nature. Lets face it, not as many people would have bought the game if you played as Larry Croft, a 43-year-old recovering alcoholic from Swansea. The over-sized bosom, hot pants and grunts and groans made the game a classic amongst lonely-hearted chumps who have never seen a real pair of knockers and probably never will.
Dead or Alive: Beach Volleyball is another breast-based extravaganza. The entire game is based around women in bikinis jumping around and jiggling their sexily rendered flesh for all to see. A volleyball game on its own wouldn’t have sold but DOA Beach Volleyball looks promising and despite its sole objective being boobs, it is very fun to play. The animations are of a very high standard and every jiggle and bounce is beautifully executed. The game is fun and sexually oriented, therefore it is a true winner. The game sells because it has sexy bikini girls AND it is fun to play. This is surely a step in the right direction by combining men’s favourite two things, games and gals, and making it all user controlled. If other developers cannot figure out why the game was successful, they are nothing more than monkeys in suits!
The folks who make games have to realise that the audience don’t mind a bit of breast here and a nice behind there, in actual fact we can’t get enough of it if it is done properly. It cannot be just scantily clad women, there has to be some motive for them to be in a state of undress. Action, adventure and sex are what the new generation of gamers demand. If it is just action then the game is a poor rip off of Timesplitters, if the game is just sex then nobody will pay £35 for it when they can get a DVD of the same stuff for £15!
Equilibrium of porn and pistols is a sure selling point that will appeal hugely to hormone stuffed males.

you've really thought about that haven't you?
it reminds me of an advert in Viz magazine, for an attachment to most nokia phones, meaning that the phone essentially doubles as a vibrator.
I kid you not!

Mafia and Max Payne 2 had sex scenes. I was strangely compelled to watch, especially in Mafia since Tommy sparked one up after he was finished and looked like the boy.

The Sun might keep sex restricted to page 3, but the (Daily?) Star has boobs hanging out left, right and centre.
Sex cannot be denied in a culture, otherwise it'd die. I know what you mean - social stigmas are attached to it, in terms of discourse and personality.
Not so sure about Russia either. You go up about 2 miles from my house and half of the people there would find something offensive if I talked about my sex life!

Openly, then.
In, oh I don't know, Russia - they probably castrate you for talking about sex in public.
Of course it still goes on but it isn't an everday topic of conversation in some places.
