The problem with the theory of gamers being adults is that it's simply not true. The market where 75% of the cash comes from is still the Halo pwn noobzor kidz. Real gamers are the minoroty and aren't being targeted anymore.

The singularity is about to explode! Weapons are at maximum.
There are boobs and ass's out everywhere on TV these days so I really don't know why people are still edgy about it in games - probably because people still think that children are the ones playing these games... not that anyone is really stopping little Johnny from watching late ETV movies every Saturday.
Even if it's not boobs, even if there are serious elements of, say, homosexuality in games, the conservatives would have a field day trying to ban the game or at least give it the highest rating while TV programs like Grey's Anatomy are spewing it out with hardly any rating at all. And that is American and it's one of the most famous shows in America.
As for interactive sex in games, I'm not sure... Being a girl gamer I still think it's something targeted predominantly at the male species (cough God of War 3 cough) and it doesn't quite do anything for me and I'd rather just skip it altogether. But hey, developers are trying to sell and that is one sure way to get things sold.
Porn in games is dumb. The last thing i feel like when mowing down hordes of alien scum, is being aroused.
It works as a marketing tool, sure, hence all the tail in ads and on mag and box covers, but as a gameplay device?
Naw.
Perhaps a lulzy image macro would best describe it.
Sex in a video game is pointless.
