Someone said DNF (or in this case, Duke Nukem 3D: Reloaded) should have first-person full frontal male and female nudity where you watch Duke and the strippers have sex. He said that it would be a first in gaming to feature such a thing, and that it would bridge the gap between sex and gaming. He also pointed out that video games have illegal drugs and murder in them, so why not have sex too, it's only a natural part of human life. I agree with him that there should be a game to do this, however I disagree that the game to do this should be Duke Nukem Forever or Duke Nukem 3D: Reloaded. It's still an option however.

No. DNF can not defeat the uncanny valley >.>

I want to be able to look down and see Duke's two penises.

" I want to be able to look down and see Duke's two penises. "

How about no. Is it really necessary to have sex in games? I mean, sure, it's artsy. But that doesn't mean it's fun, or adds anything of value to the game.

Two penises? "

No, Just, no.

You thought he had one? O.o "

You guys are retarded.      He obviously has at least 5. "

That was not an interesting point.

Heavy Rain already had a sex scene that showed nudity.

As much as I understand this opinion very well, that is purely subjective.  If we want to push gaming to also include more interesting storylines, we have to cross this bridge eventually.  However I would agree that first off, we would need more stories that are actually written well first.  The gaming industry is still too immature to properly cater for such a thing, as nowadays they still have sex as an achievement rather than an important and tasteful plot point.  Just because you and plenty of others don't care for this sort of thing, doesn't mean others do not want stuff like this in their games.  So long as it is tasteful of course.  Is the gaming industry ready for this kind of thing now though?  I would say no for sure.

The thing about the argument of Violence/Sex in video games is that the violence actually has relevance to the gameplay. The enemies are in your way and you need to murder them all to complete the objectives. Whereas sex would just be there to be edge or controversial. If they could figure out a way to actually make it matter then it wouldn't be awful but it being there just to be there is a bad idea. Unless there's a part where you have a shootout while having sex (Like in the brilliant Clive Owen joint Shoot 'Em Up), that would be okay.

Adding sex for the sake of sex to a game has very little artistic merit. It seems like a cheap ploy to drum up interest and controversy, and get people to buy a game. Granted if an established franchise like Duke Nukem did it, it would be a little different, but while vulgarity is very much the style of Duke Nukem I think this hypothetical scenario where Duke Nukem sets the bar for how tastefully sex scenes are done sounds like a situation which could seriously hurt the way the industry approaches the subject of sex. When we see sex in video games I want to see it done in a way which benefits the quality of the game as much as possible, not in a way that does little more than try and sell as many copies of the game to horny teenagers as possible. Sexual content in video games has been around for a long time, but introducing sex itself to video games is a very delicate thing. Personally I'd like to see it done in the same way that Mass Effect was trying to do it before Fox News shot them down and the explicit content got toned down in the sequel.

No, the way that you bridge sex into videogames is to make it an integral part of two characters becoming closer in an adult relationship, not with a 15 year old boys mastubatory fantasy. That doesn't add anything of substance, and in fact would probably set the movement back. It'd be like if Animal House was the first movie to feature sex and nudity.

If they do that, might as well not publish it anyway, since it won't get published with that...nonsense... in it.
 
Perfect audience for a typical action flick you'd be.

I just don't see what it adds to the whole game bit. I understand that watching a tasteful sex scene reminds people of artsy movies they like, but I don't see how they make a game better, other than being able to say to other industries, "Hey, we're mature too guys! Look, SEX! But it's tasteful! Isn't that awesome?" "

Only if they start adding car chases to porn movies.

What you are saying is a classic case of not looking at games as more than just "things to have fun with".  Sometimes people want something like an interactive story book, with interactive elements such as traditional gameplay segments to make the whole story more alive.  Has this been done successfully yet in video games though?  I would definitely say not yet, and that our audience is also not mature enough to not see past the "game" part and also ask for a hybrid of static and dynamic experiences.  I may be definitely wrong so you can correct me here if I say, you have little interest in seeing stories in games mature more to even attempt to tackle these issues correctly, in favour of just making more of the same stuff but incrementally improved to fulfull your demands for what amounts to simplistic "fun".  I would be fine with that for a lot of games, but personally I would really enjoy a sophisticated storyline that I can interact with more than just the usual offerings that come in year after year.

As funny as all your responders are, there one major flaw here.
 
There has been sex, and fully frontal nudity, in a number of games. Sorry, this is not a new concept. The reason it doesn't happen [often] is because that begets an AO rating (sexually explicit stuff generally does, nudity itself is actually more common now a days) and most publishers wont publish an AO. When you look at the PC, there is many published "dirty" (read: sexually explicit) games. I'm sure if no one has named any yet, they will. I know of several but I'll leave the naming to other people.

I love stories in games. I love characters in games. That's why Enslaved is probably my favourite single-player game of the year so far. I'm all for making great stories, but I just don't feel like sex is a necessary component, especially not interactive sex scenes. That's just weird. I definitely don't see fun as the be-all end-all of games, but I do think that enjoying yourself is a key component in the realm of entertainment. When I see a movie, I want to leave saying that I enjoyed it. Because, even with the saddest movies, you walk out of the theatre pleased. Sure, you're crying, but you still enjoyed yourself. So, yes, I do think fun is a very important facet of games and practically all media. But, I'm getting off-topic. I'll just end this with:  Good, deep stories and characters = Fun, and enjoyment Sex =/= Good Stories.    We're essentially on the same side here. "

Sex is fun. Sex doesn't need "merit" to be included. It's sex. Does American Pie: Tri Beta Alpha Gamma Gangbang part 5 have merit? Fuck no. But it totally has sex.  
 
Games should be able to include sex just like R rated movies can. Once all the old farts who think games are joystick-based toys die, ratings systems will get logical and sex will be in games. 

Clearly if anyone can elevate the medium, it's Duke.

Sure, if you want every company that controls a platform to ban this game for sale. You can't sell an AO rated game on any popular system or game delivery service. 
Besides, human facsimiles having sex would probably be disturbing to a large number of people, on account of the uncanny valley and all.
