Sexual violence should never be encouraged, and violent sex fantasies between consentient adults always kept within the private sphere or in clearly labeled porn or depicted in a totally negative way in dramas, as rapists, stalkers and molesters, just like paedos, endlessly look for ambiguities to twist and turn into justifications for their behaviour, but "normal" or even bizarre but not violent sex should be fine in videogames aimed at adults.

Sexuality in games is shit. The comparison between sex and violence as if they should be equal is ridiculous. The "underuse" of sex in movies and in games has almost nothing to do with religion or conservatives being against it. Sorry to break your bubble, but you aren't as radical and openminded as you think. Of course a character can be sexy, but the term sexuality encompasses so much more than sexy looks. And yet there's almost no value of sex in a video game. There's nothing you can do, it's completely uninteresting from a narrative as well as a gameplay perspective, just like it is in movies. Sex is private (mostly). That's why in movies it's only used as a little spice. There's only a short meaningless sex scene in every movie except for perhaps in pretentious French movies where it's sometimes dragged out. Love can certainly be interesting from a narrative perspective (love as in something that is distinctively separate from human sexuality), but people licking each other with their tongues or putting the cock in the pussy has no value whatsoever. What are you gonna do with the sex, jerk off to a video game?
It's much like asking why aren't there more games about eating food, about sleeping or about shitting in the toilet. Violence on the other hand is exciting from so many perspectives, both narrative and gameplay. No matter how much you may dislike violence in reality. Violence ties so much to our values and emotions, to fear, threat, justice, aggression, feelings, to society, to human history. Violence simply is in the core of human culture.
