Evie Rees is on this episode of LustCast to discuss sex in video games. We covered a lot of ground, from sex scenes in mainstream games to the world of adult-only video games. We even touched on the topic of porn addiction. So, let’s dive into what we discussed and why it matters.
Sex in Mainstream Video Games
First up, we talked about how mainstream video games are incorporating sex and sexual themes. Think about games like “The Witcher” or “Mass Effect,” where romantic relationships and sexual encounters are part of the storyline. This isn’t just for shock value. It adds depth to the characters and makes the gaming experience more immersive. But it’s not without controversy. Some people argue that it’s inappropriate, while others say it reflects the complexities of real life.
The World of Adult-Only Video Games
Next, we delved into the niche but growing market of adult-only video games. You might be wondering, “Do people actually play these?” We decided they do, but it’s a mixed bag. Some of these games offer a unique experience, while others are pretty much scams. Evie even shared her experience of creating her own adult game, which was both enlightening and hilarious.
Porn Addiction: Is It Real?
We wrapped up the episode by discussing porn addiction. It’s a topic that’s often brushed under the rug but is becoming more talked about. Is it a real thing? The jury’s still out. Some experts say it’s a genuine concern, affecting relationships and personal well-being. Others argue that the term “addiction” might be too strong. Either way, it’s a conversation worth having.
Why Does This Matter?
So, why should you care about any of this? Well, for starters, the way sex is portrayed in media, including video games, impacts our views on relationships, consent, and body image. Plus, it’s just plain interesting! Whether you’re a gamer or not, understanding how sex fits into this massive industry gives you a new perspective on both.
