Sexuality in Video Games

My apologies for not laying down any more beats just now: I’ve been having some problems which make it difficult for me to write music. I can still type though (Albeit slowly), so I may as well write something.
Inspired by Goldanas talking about naked ladies, I would like to talk about sex. Video games are still a relatively new medium, especially when it comes to games with a narrative. We’ve come a long way since ‘Save the princess’ was our only goal, our only reason for existing as a pixelated avatar. Of course, along with narrative comes an increase in fanservice, which, considering that the market is aimed mainly toward teenage and young adult males, tends to come in the form of, well, naked ladies.
