Ladykiller in a Bind. Great game/story, the sex that's in there fits well too.

Porn games are very common in 1980s.

Sex theme is still super common in Japanese games today, especially in visual novels.

But usually they are just porn, without logical design or meaningful story. Just porn.

Some other games have childbirth system, but most of them are not focused on sex.
Never seen decent sex or sex-related material in videogames. Two reasons I suppose :

1) Videogames are childish at the core, and the more "mature" they try to look, the more it shows. So, most occurences of sex are creepy and dumb.

2) Videogames that try to be all mature and serious and epic tend to opt for 3D realism, and oh dear. The tech is not ready. Dragon Age's cringeworthy attempt should be a warning to all devs. Don't even try. Wait for two or three generations first.

So, yeah, no. Okay for Larry jokes, maybe. Okay for abstract romantism à la Sands of Times. Okay for dealing with the surroundings (the stakes and consequences of intimacy). But attempts at being graphic, meaningful, arousing and on a par with other medias (litterature, cinema) are just utter catastrophies.

Unless you mean pinup calendars dressed as puzzle games. I guess these work as well as pinup calendars.

That's not a sex game! (and if it is, I don't want to know about it... :S)

Luxuria Superbia. It's the most sexual game I've ever seen, and pretty decent I'd say. Though it probably works best with a touchscreen device.

What about the Witcher?

Haven't played them. I may need a stronger machine, or to get used to the combat design (I just tried the intro of the first opus and it didn't convince me). But I don't expect it to be very different from Dragon Age, when it comes to 3D models humpclipping each others. Plus, what I know of its sexual component does give me an a priori impression of lame teenservice, so that aspect of the game isn't extremely motivating.

I felt like Witcher 3 was done pretty well.

Edit: And Witcher 2 for that matter.

Sounds like the only reason is your own subjective biases. I prefer mature, dark storytelling in gaming which, contrary to your belief, is possible.

Do you also dismiss animation as a format "for kids"?

why would somebody need a standalone game about sex, when related mods exist for almost every modern rpg game?

On that note, why would someone want a game about real life stuff anyway?

In my mind, games should be a medium that allows me to experience a fantasy — that is something that doesn't happen every day. Fighting monsters, leading armies, magic, that sort of stuff. A game about sex or eating, or driving to work, or paying electrical bills doesn't sound appealing.

Of course such a game could have interesting gameplay mechanics, but the premise/story wouldn't be appealing at all.
There's no need to be ''mature'' about it. If devs want to make something vulgar, they're free to do so, but they're making their own bed, and while bad sex scenes don't kill games, it can add to the list of non-redeeming factors that make games like Ride to Hell so retarded.

Also ''maturity'' is entirely subjective, and I'd much rather have many people making games based on their own interpretation of ''maturity'' rather being shamed as they are now for doing anything some politically motivated hack on a review site or youtube channel doesn't see as ''mature''. The idea that there is some universal bar of maturity is a fallacy and is a pointless restriction that forces devs to conform to arbitrary standards set by prudes and ideologues in ivory towers.

I for one find almost all express clear portrayal of sex as cringey, and it probably has something to do with being brought up in a conservative culture. It breaks immersion almost every time I see it in whatever medium and I end up thinking it was put in just for shock / sex-sells value alone. The only exceptions I've seen are photographs from wartime, and such places where you can't help but notice the bigger picture, and that one scene in MGS3 where The Boss shows us her scars in a cutscene. Basically I seem to too strongly associate nudity / sexuality with lack of art to see any artistic value it may have. But other people apparently think some of the sex scenes in shows like GoT are artistic / not vulgar / ''mature''. And this is precisely the reason why there shouldn't be just one standard of ''maturity''.

OP translated from internet lazy English into readable English:
Are gamers mature enough to handle sex and sexual content in games? Are developers? I mean like most root-based vegetables it starts with them right.

Like prior, beforehand.

Okay.
So.
Obviously there is porn subset. Or just "set", I guess it doesn't need "sub" necessarily.
I mean every GOGer has games that deal with this. Skirt with it I mean. Like the title Hunie Pop, and obviously visual novels which often do that to draw people in.

It's just...
Welp. How to put it into words?
Obviously a lot of games aren't mature.
And developers either aren't (due to gamers) or like cater to this.
So you end up with things like "Ride To Hell: Retribution".
Which is like uhh hmm nothing of sex. It's where sex goes to friggin die. Shriveled, unloved husk of itself. Former glory with dried tears run down cheeks.

But are that games that treat sex is a more mature way? Does it even matter with games? I mean you suppose it only really does with more story-driven games, or not? The rest is more, uh, frivolous then. If you don't have an invested story, what is the point other than cheap masturbatory thrills?
