I think it has to do with incorperating sexual acts into gameplay that get people offended. It's A LOT easier to make a game based on violence than it is on sex (I mean just imagine little girls and boys pressing A to HUMP and B to go faster)! Plus you have all sort of perverts that could make games on all types of Hentai based themes that can REALLY offend people (especially females, and rightfully so).
If you ask me, it's parents that dictate this, as a society it's become more acceptable to see someones head blown off with a shotgun than seeing sexual acts. But put yourself in parents shoes, as a father WOULD YOU REALLY WANT YOUR DAUGHTER TO PLAY A GAME THAT HAS SEXUAL GAMEPLAY ATTACHED TO IT, and as a mother WOULD YOU REALLY LIKE YOUR SON TO LEARN ABOUT SEX THAT WAY? I am extremely open minded, but I have to REALLY question if I want my daughter exposed to sex in games especially if it's the hentai kind (something like that can REALLY DISTURB a child and make them feel EXTREMELY VUNERABLE). I bring this up because we already have EXTREME Violence in games, now imagine Extreme sexual content?
I'm not a fan of that much sex in games OR movies for that matter. IMO then don't really move the plot in ANY SORT of way. Violence however is like a guilty pleasure! We can laugh about it on screen cause it's not real (least I do lol).
Besides if I want to see something sexual I'll just see a porno  !
Damn I hope this post doesn't get me modded lmao

Theres a few things I see wrong with your post, although I agree with your main point. It is damn hard to encorporate sex into games without making it feel weird. You could put it in a cutscene, but lets face it, those do nothing to add to the game. There are always exceptions though, and limiting creative freedom is never a good thing.
And that is just what these legal and sociological barriers are doing...limiting creative freedom. Like I said in my earlier post, Hotline Miami 2 has been banned from Australia for featuring a rape scene, and in fact any depiction of rape in video games (I think even implied rape) gets an automatic ban in australia. Then you have things like the massive reaction after someone hinted that there would be rape in the Tomb Raider reboot. These things scare developers away from the choice to include things in their game.
Now some of my problems with your post:
-Children should not be playing M rated games. Period. End of discussion. If you as a parent don't want your kids playing this type of thing, that is your job to enforce. Theres not going to be a universal ban on R rated movies because a kid might get their hands on it...that is just illogical
-There is a lot more to sexuality than pornography and I think there are a lot of creative venues which could employ this stuff in a way that truly adds to a game.

QTE Sex scenes!!
EDIT: I also agree with your rated M for Mature... I wouldnt let my 7 year old play COD like many of these parents here in the States do. They play GTA as well. Maybe I'd let my TEENAGE child play these games... but I'd have to have a LONG TALK about it b4 I allow them to play.
