Has there ever been a decent sex scene in a video game?

Post by J T »

You can take "decent" to mean what you want, whether that means tasteful or hot. Most people describe 3D characters kissing as looking like two mailboxes banging together, so sex scenes don't often work well in games. Plus there is still a firmly held misconception that games are for children, so they should not have sex of any kind (only violence is appropriate for fragile young minds, as we all know). I really can't think of hardly any.

There was one in Killer7. It added nothing to the plot.

Wouldn't really call that one good though. But, in comparison to two mailboxes banging each other, it's pretty decent.

I'm jogging my memory but wasn't there something close in Phantasmagoria on the PC (we're talking mid 90s)?

JT you bring up a good point, now i ask ...why... is there so much violence but no sex... like you think if games had more sex maybe children namely guys... wouldnt be so bad at picking up women rather than picking up a gun.

Larry in Leisure Suit Larry 3, she was like writing down notes and taking phone calls, haha classic.

Those games use to have a key to hit to hide the screen when your 'boss' or wife walked in.

Not in mainstream games, maybe, but in Japanese visual novels, they're pretty common. While many of them have the reputation as being porn with words (and some of them ARE like that) some of those games use sex scenes for great dramatic effect.

There was a very strange sex scene at the beginning and a rape scene on the beginning of Chapter 4, please tell me you are referring to the first one :lol: .

Also, Phantasmagoria 2 had some intense sex scenes (They weren't hot at all BTW).

The only hot sex scene (?) I've ever seen in a game was in MGS3.
