Artist, scholar, and writer Robert Yang wants to talk about sex. Most people think sexual intercourse is important, and games should explore important topics, but most design methodologies for making videogames are breathtakingly terrible for depicting sex. In this talk, we will consider current popular attitudes about sex in games, common critiques, and better ways to do it all.
