They say the scenes, which they often don't know about in advance, leave them "shaken" and "upset."

TL;DR: Video game actors being told to mo-cap sex scenes without being told beforehand

    Sex scenes are common in modern games - and are often made by filming human actors who are then digitised into game characters.

    Is “common” referring to cringey low budget Steam games? I don’t think I’ve seen any sort of on screen simulated sex in a game, ever. Granted I tend to only play well publicized indie games and larger releases. But how common is this? Am I out of the loop?

      Actual sex scenes are incredibly rare. In most cases, which are still rare, it is implied with some cuddly scenes that fade to black. I think the most “explicit” sex scene I’ve seen in a regular game was in TLoU Part 2.

      Mass Effect, The Witcher, San Andreas Hot Coffee Mod, Sega Bass Fishing 2, Cyberpunk 2077.

      It’s pretty common.

          I don’t recommend it, but going bass-to-mouth was a very popular and hyped feature addition for SEGA Bass Fishing. I’m surprised this is the first you are hearing of it

        The Witcher and Cyberpunk I’ll give you, but Mass Effect definitely fades to black before getting to actual sex, the other two are mods. I wasn’t saying sex in games doesn’t exist, but if we’ve gotta go back several decades for a handful examples, that doesn’t feel like something that’s “common.”

      Tell me you’ve never played a Witcher game using a whole paragraph.
