Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why western audience rejects porn games ?

Personally I think it would make sense for sex to be integrated into video games in a tasteful manner. I have my doubts that it will ever happen (its barely happened in movies). I realize this is a bit tangential to the OP.

The west doesnt see adult video games as anything legitimate. My guess is that they are mostly pictures or videos with game elements tacked on. (I dont have much experience with porn games). In japan most of the games are more what are more like chose your own adventures with sex scenes (I have at least looked at H-games).
Porn is in japan is an interesting subject in japan, without making a huge wall of text, it would make for an interesting discussion as long as handled maturely, not tentacles LOL. Anyways porn is visible and can be openly browsed at various open places but people mostly ignore it.
That is a vast over simplication but thats another discussion.



Yes I am a fan of the Playstation 3, but I am an even bigger fan of intelligent and rational dialog. (If you are up for an intelligent exchange of ideas, you are more than welcome to add me as a friend)

Because of Puritanical prudishness of western audiences, who somehow think that cutting off someone's head is ok, but two people expressing their love is evil

You know, to their defense, the religious conservatives in America and other western nations aren't the ones putting out ultra-violent movies like 300, Kill Bill, Saw XIII, or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 27 year after year... that would be the Hollywood crowd, the same group of people who have the balls to lecture us about how violent of a culture we are, yet have no problem consistently putting out movies that created an entirely new sub-genre referred to as "torture-porn" because of it's focus on gruesome acts and mutilation, etc.

Not to mention the fact that there's a big difference between tastefully done love scenes in films, and the "love-scenes" in movies that Hollywood likes to put out, some of which make your average cheesy porn flick look tame by comparison.

If I recell, there was an article that showed that those living in red states, tend to frequent pornography sites more than those living in Blue states, so conservatives have their own hyprocrisy to deal with.  In addition Hollywood is an industry, an industry which caters to the desires of their audience, so them putting out violent films is beacuse violence sells, same with those love scenes that they put out, it sells, and probably many of those who "consume" those products are conservatives the same conservatives who try and shove their brand of "judeo-chrsitian morality" down our throats, ignoring that their source material, their holy book is one of the most violent and sexually charged books ever.

When somebody makes a good porn game, I'll play it. Interesting story, engaging gameplay, etc. Otherwise, there are a lot of other places to get porn.


There's actually quite a few of these, the one problem is that they're only Japanese though.

The problem with porn games is that they must be controllable using only one hand, otherwise what good are they?

Fortunatly Microsoft forseen this problem and introduced project Natal

Oh you've just put naughty, naughty thoughts into my mind. Jeez, that's why they created the damn thing! Simulation sex games...with celebrities!

I was thinking pretty much the same thing regarding the "vitality" sensor.

It's because people don't like buying their porn.

personally, i think it would be a little bit of a reach for me to say that porn games would be socially acceptable. i hope they never gain ground in the usa

true to that. I'd consider it if it had the octomom in the game though:o



we arent japan...a game where you are playing a penis-tentacle-monster raping an underage school girl really doesnt have enough people that would buy it over here.
