BeschreibungSex is one of the greatest pastimes in the world. And so are video games. But how do they go together? In my thesis, I give a historical and analytical overview over the different ways video games have handled the topic of sex. This is done bydeveloping an analytical framework to examine how explicitly aspects like gameplay, story, sound and graphics are presented in games. Based on this research, I designed a video game that incorporates themes pertaining to sex. As sex is a broad field with many different facets ranging from biological to sociological, the scope of my game focused particularly on gay male sexuality.
This focal point – and the concentration on text as its main feature – sets the game far apart from mainstream representations of sex in video games.
