Some other notes about girls in games.

Given the option to play male or female character, I take the female, its just easier on the eyes to sit through 40 hours of game play with a cutie than it is to look at another Duke Nuke 'em butt.

Parasite Eve portrayed the female as just a girl in her regular everyday detective clothes, she was sensual in her face and motion in the cut scenes, which carried out through the rest of the game.

Lara Croft's wardrobe's are sensible, except in the snow levels..there she is running around in shorts. People can comment on her chest size all they want, but these are the same people who would comment on a real woman's real large chest, which would make that woman feel degraded.

Final Fantasy characters, good and evil and NPC, perfect example of not taking things too far any direction. Also there is a love interest in the plot lines, which totaly makes that game and its cuts scenes moments of emotion and not just, oooh eye candy. I forget the girls name (I renamed them all when I find them), but when she's about to bite the bullet in space after 20 hours of play..I was on the edge of my seat....better than a soap opera.

A note on Lara Croft, she doesn't have relationships, if you ever read her biography from Tomb Raider I, or developers talking about her, you would know that she is essentially insane.
Thats right, she may look hot, but spending a few hours with her would scare your manhood back to boyhood. She might make a good match for Bruce Wayne for a night or two, but then he'd have to go into a hunt/bondage episode because she is hell bent on stealing things.

Other fine female characters are the girls from resident evil. No blatantly sexuality there, even when you get the spiffy cute wardrobe bonus.

Ok now for some game characters that one would not expect.
But these characters actually have sex, or so I assume.
Not in game. but outside the game...they are people
Brittany Spears, Spice Girls, and the Olson Twins!!!!
Oh lets not forget Julie Strain of FAKK 2.
(the comic of which that is based on had extreme graphic sexual situations)

Last but not least, that wanton wench, Ms. Pacman, wearing nothing but a bow!!!


oh if you want to portray sex in game without being explicit, base it on reality, and use the
same methods that film uses.
Eye contact, closeness, pillow talk, high contrast and shadows, switch from a kiss, to the sun rising over the sleeping lovers, or a romantic embrace the pushes the lovers out of the scene, or some other tasteful technique. To show the vampire conception mentioned above, use sound and innuendo...that is what the ENTIRE bite of the Vampire is all about...its about Penetration.
So think about it...the beating heart (vampires don't beat..only hers), you could show the rushing blood, the woman revealing herself -cut- his naked back, the dilation of her pupils...darkness, her sighs, his breathe, a kiss, a silhoutte of the pair entwined, then the bite. Study a few traditional vampire movies, like from Hammer films, you'll see how they were trying to get the audience aroused.

I do believe at this point in time if you were at any point to show graphic nudity or sexuality, even for a 15 seconds, that is all the recognition your game will ever get, all it will be reviewed on.
Sad but true.
