Meh, some of my favorite shows and movies have a lot sex scenes. Sometimes, they just add realism or contribute to aesthetics. Other times they show personality, relationship dynamics, are symbolic of other things, or are important to the plot.

I don't see sex scenes as any different than other potentially "unnecessary" scenes, like a long shot of a dripping faucet, for instance.

But, yeah, most sex scenes in games make me cringe.
