Sex is part of our nature and it's one of the main reasons we exist, but the way sex is express can severly influence young people and the simple minded. Not all of us can seperate our views of what is reality and what is fiction, especially among most social outcast and people who have no idea what goes on in the real world. Sure video game violence doesn't instantly make us into cold killers, but it can make us more comfortable with violence for the good and bad. In Counter-Strike, it's a sport where one competes for skills. In games, most of us play as the good guy to use extreme methond of violence to rid of evil. In GTA, it's a different story because III to San Andreas are a satirical look of our violence loving american culture. GTA IV explores the gray moral areas of the crime life. Its contextual effects some of our views. It's not a big deal, but it's important to portray women better than with sexual glorification.
About the outcomes, watch a overly fanatical otaku hitting on an asian girl and you'll see what I mean.

Yeah, but can you really punish everyone for the people who are too "young or simple minded" to determine fantasy from reality.
Not to mention that there is a ratings system in place, to prevent them from buying these games, and also, people who can't distinguish fantasy from reality shouldn't be dealing in fantasy entertainment of any kind, really.

Sometimes if not often, they were never taught to distinguish fantasy from reality, never had any idea and they were born to never learn about the true face of the harsh reality of our life.
As for the ratings system, I highly support but it doesn't always stop or prevent kids from playing violent and overly sexualized video games. Back in the day, kids used to sneak into rated R movies and porno movies too.
