Someone explain in-game sex to me. . .

Since you can see all that sex on the web, what's the point of having sex in real life?

 

Answer that question to my (and your) satisfaction and then I'll use that answer to help you understand why we have added it to the game because the two are related.

 

If you, or anyone that 'liked' your post, are seriously trying to equate any type of digital porn as a reasonable facsimile of real sex, then I'm not the one that needs to define the difference.

 

 

You asked why internet porn doesn't provide all the "sex" a person needs in relation to game porn, I just put the ball in your court to explain why internet porn doesn't provide all the "sex" you need in real life.

 

The answer though is simple sex is not just a part of life, it's a fundamental part of life and adding it to games not only makes the games all that more life like but add in a whole realm of story lines that can be explored.  Look at the requests and the mods, the more the sex becomes integral to a story line the better liked a sex mod is.

 

The game also allows people to play roles they could never and would never do in real life (in real life we arrest criminals, not kill them all) and likewise playing a promiscuous person who uses sex to overcome resistance or to gain favors. 

 

Anyway, thanks for starting such an interesting discussion.

To me the question would be reversed: why isn't there more sex in games?

 

I know the answers of course, from misplaced puritanism to hysterical 'think of the children' screams.

 

Just look around though:

 

- anime are peddled to children (part of it at least), and there are some nasty sexual things there if you know where to look

- books have had sexual content for centuries (and yet, a large amount of books are sold to children every day)

- movies have had sexual content for decades just as well

 

So... why not video games?

 

As far as Skyrim is concerned, I find sex a welcome addition to balance out the extreme amount of killing in that sort of game.

 

The threat of sex from SexLab Defeat or enslavement from Sanguine Debauchery have resulted in a more visceral, survivalist experience of Skyrim - far beyond what I experienced from playing the game in a more traditional way (even with mods).

 

SexLab Solutions and Radiant Prostitution have provided me with unique options to resolve quests in the game, other than leaving a trail of corpses.

 

The potential of in-game sex is what made me pick up the editor and learn scripting :)

Yeah no . . . it's clearly what you got out of it, but that's not EVEN what I asked.

 

If you want to 'TL; DR' my question, it would be more along the lines of

 

There's plenty of porn on the web if you want porn. Why do people want porn in skyrim?

 

and the answer has generally been centered around "it's addon entertainment." which makes plenty of sense.

 

I seriously expected a bunch of non-reasons from weirdo's with too much time (that's what they're calling it now) on their hands. Instead what I got was a lot of similarly themed, thoughtful responses from people who just want some variation in their game. Go you.

 

. . . and a couple of people that for whatever reason seemed to 'take offense'. Go you, too.

You are a weirdo anyway if you like to play games. Even more so if you start to mod games.

There's your answer right there from Starbrow. Well... It doesn't define how video porn is different than sex, but he makes the true statement that nothing on your computer can be compared to the real thing.

 

 

I hesitate to wade into this, but ... would one really have to define this? To hazard an attempt, I think it's a bit like this: On a hot summer day, given the choice between drinking a fresh cold beer and looking at a picture of somebody else drinking it, which one would you pick? :)

You'll still have that picture hanging in your arctic weather station or even just sitting on your work desk to enjoy the thought.

 

No one mentioned the dress-up-doll factor of skyrim - i have my doll chars too. And even kids look under the pretty dress to find out if its an appropriate rendition...

I'm actually attempting to understand why having sex in the game does what it does (whatever it does) for the people that like it.

 

There's a million billion tube sites out there where you can quite literally watch everything from a loving couple creating an expressive moment all the way up to a tranny (male that looks like a female) fucking a tranny (a female that looks like a male). (I'm not making this up) nevermind all the extreme stuff (shitting fish, handjobs with puke-lube, etc)

 

So...

With all the no-cost and free options available for watching people fuck on the web, I have a hard time believing that it's the sex.

 

Therefore, my question is what's the attraction to having sex (read: fucking) in skyrim and the other RP games?

Why make your character need to eat and drink?

Why add weight to arrows and gold?

 

It all comes down to immersion.  You either want it... or you don't.   It has to do with how and why you play games.

 

The more that the virtual world can mimic nature, the more you can lose yourself in it.

We are all adults here and we can admit that sex is one of the strongest driving forces in humankind.  

Having a world without the existence of this driving force feels unnatural.

 

Sex mods are not entirely about porn.   They are also about creating situations for your character to react to.  

Sometimes the situations are a turn on..  sometimes they are funny..  sometimes they are just annoying and boring.

But you as a player will have an emotion about the situation, if you can imagine yourself in it.  If you can't... then immersion mods just are not for you.

True. This is what it boils down to, isn't it? Porn is a substitute for the real thing. If and when you can't get that real thing, the substitute might still be better than nothing. Compare it to the real thing, however, and it will always come second place. Sums it up for me, really.

You know what I think is saddest about this whole thing?

 

The fact that nobody commented in the slightest on the description of a chick with a dick fucking a guy with a pussy.

If you can find a video of a three-breasted elf chick getting a anal plowing by a yoghurt goblin, i'll tip my hat off to ya

 

 

There you have it. Check out Oblivion mods, thats stuff is around, skyrim is just still too young. No one in their right minds would make the effort to make real porn with those themes - but we modders do. :D

- Because you can create your own sex scenes, if you so desire. Instead of searching for the stuff you want you can just do it yourself, you can completely control the scene: The involving actors, the place, consensual or not. You can even do your own sex scene about things that are illegal IRL, bestiality porn for example is banned in some countries. Or lolicon, if you are into that.

 

- It enhances the game for some, including me. I don't use SL Defeat because I want my character to get raped, I use it because I want to avoid getting raped. It just adds that extra bit of atmosphere when fighting against monsters and bandits. If you like playing evil you can, for example, break into houses and do nasty things to the inhabitants. If you like playing a vampire, you can seduce your victims; after all, vampires were always about sex, power and deception.

 

- It's always more fun if the sexy things happen when you are not actively trying to find something to fap to.

 

- Most people tend to get attached to NPCs in games. In a way, the NPCs and the PC in Skyrim mean more to the player than the anonymous chick/guy in some porn video.

 

 

Yep, Because We Can, We Choose to.

Pervatiousness has been embrased.

Explain in-game sex to you...?

 

OP, if this is a question you have to ask, you have no business on LL. And I say this with utmost certainty, as the fact this is an inquiry you felt the urge to make indicates that you have failed at a base level to understand LL's purpose. If you don't know why you're here, you probably ought to leave.

Is this a serious question? 

 

Yes there is something that in game sex offers that real porn does not. Porn is very niche, although there is a lot of it, actual quality is very rare indeed. There are tradeoffs. If you want more kinky porn, you'll (usually) have to settle for trashier and less attractive models, if you want to look at a pretty woman, chances are she's only willing to do soft-core, vanilla stuff.

 

Another reason is that well...computer graphics have that feature of  versatility. This is both an advantage and a drawback actually. The advantage is that with latest face and race mods, and a little tweaking you could create a female character or NPC that is way more gorgeous than any porn actress or model I can think of. The disadvantage is that animations still look blocky and inorganic due to the limitations of the engine and current graphics technology, not to even begin to speak of any sexual "acting" on behalf of the characters.

 

A third reason is that you can customize your sexual experience to an extent - act out and be a part of things and events which you could never be in reality. It's not the same in porn, which is  the same sex plot offered to you which is played out over and over again.

 

But in the end game sex isn't at this stage at least, superior to real life porn - both simply offer a different milieu. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Both are fruit sure, but why have one when you can have the other? Why not have both.

after seeing the discussion in the other thread, I realized that I did this wrong. That i should have asked the question in a more adversarial way and that I should try to use opinion as fact. therefore here's a rewrite...

 

Why are you people using sex mods in skyrim? Haven't you heard of redtube or xhamster? There's plenty of other ways to get porn. Sex mods completely break lore and are not realistic at all. You just need to get out of your moms basement and go get laid.

 

Let the protracted discussion begin!

Well in that case.
