  Akchually in-vitro fecundation is a thing.

    This just means that penetrative sex with a penis is not required. Doctors can either inseminate people directly, or implant fertilized embryos.

    But the only effective way to harvest sperm is through ejaculation. I.e. masturbation. So you're really not avoiding sex altogether. You're just going about it differently.

        Solo sex. It's definitely sexual at least.

  Gamers say they want parents to actually get involved and monitor the content kids interact with in games. A parent actually does monitor what their kids play, and suddenly gamers lose their minds.

    In this case, OP is stating that he thinks no company should be making games with any type of sexual content. Just in case his kids want to play that game.

    That goes beyond "monitoring what their kids play" and that's why people are reacting strongly.

  Do you recognize that some people may have different values than your own and it’s ok for them to strive towards upholding them? You are not losing anything in life by not having pornographic scenes in video games.

    Lol. You're trying to censor an entire industry because the most natural human experience makes your nervous.

      No, I just don’t want needless sex in my games. I don’t care to make it illegal or anything but I’m speaking out that I do not enjoy sexuality in video games and think if that’s something people desire, they can find that sort of content elsewhere.

        Or you can just look for games that don’t have the “sex and nudity” tag and stop complaining?

        Then play a game that doesn’t have sex. You’re like those people who want a difficulty slider in souls games. The game is not for you, my dude.

    Hi, it’s good to understand the difference between pornography and narratives showing intimacy. Good day.
