Sensuality (and sex) In Video Games


Its widely known that sex is behind almost anything in this world. It always was and it  always will be. Sex, money, fame and power are the things that rule the world and make everything go round! From the ancient times till nowadays the examples are literally A LOT, like orgiaque type feasts, politicians and military men that acted according to the will of a woman, the whole female industry ( shoes, dresses, clothes, underwear, cosmetics, etc...) that wants women sexier and sexier, or the world of movies itself (i can remember not a single movie that didnt have a sex/love-making/kissing scene).

Sheva Alomar, secondary n primary outfit
Considering the above, the gaming industry comes to play its own role in that sex driven world. From the early gaming days (when graphics were more than a few pixels) we have the appearance of the first female characters. Its like a tradition these days for the female characters to be designed really hot, sexy or provocative, which is a tested way for the manufacturers to raise the number of sales! I literally cant recall a video game with an ugly girl protagonist or anything closer to the girl next door. All of them have to be sexy, lightly dressed, fit and luscious even if the game that they are in is a survival horror (see Sheva Alomar of Resident Evil 5)

Chun-Li
Chun-Li n her legs!
One of them was Chun -Li (Street Fighter) one of the first playable female characters in the gaming history and she appeared in Street Fighter II. Its needless to say that she was one of the most famous female characters in fighting games back in the day, and we owe that to her sexy modified qipao (an early 20th century, body-hugging, female dress) that in her case was modified to maximize her fighting effectiveness. She was quite a site for sore eyes, when the fans of the game were used to playing with characters as Ken or Ryu, especially when she was using her legs to attack!!!

Lula The Sex Empire
And all this for some kickass chick with a sexy outfit! And what about when it comes to an actual pornstar video game heroine? And of course im talking about Lula. A sexy busty blondie who is nothing more than the descritpion above. But even that was more than enough to send some eroticly geeky vibes to the gaming community! It is noteworthy that Lula games were forbidden in several United States such as California. Even the cover of the first game "Lula: The Sex Empire" was like the one found in 90's porn!

Kinky Larry Laffer
Damn! I almost forgot Larry!  Larry Laffer is a 40 years old loser, who wears a leisure suit n always tries to hit on sexy women with his kinky, sick, slimy way (COOOOL!!!) with not much success! The games that are basically adventure and full of humor, boobs, legs, and naked girls so what more is there to ask??? U can easily imagine what a big change and renovation it was back then, if u think that in  most games u had to kill little ghosts (pac-man), or to destroy spaceships or alien (Alien Invaders) etc. Id personally love it! :P


Who doesnt remember BloodRayne? That bloody-thirsty, leather-dressed damphyr, who was slaying endlessly her enemies while showing every curve of her body with such a charming way! BloodRayne is still one of the hottest video game heroines out there and will be for a long time!

Damn black stripes
And of course there is Lara Croft that we all know so well for her killer curves who is starring in the Tomb Raider series. Her butt n boobs was a subject for long conversations and a fantasy for most of the gamers. I still remember playing Tomb Raider 3 on playstation and trying to find cheats to get her nude!!! The actual gameplay always came second!


Many are the games that have explicit sex scenes or just imply sex. Some of them are 7 sins, GTA, Gothic 3, The Witcher, even Fable and Divine Divinity! The games are full of whores, or girls that just wanna have sex, brothels, kinky comments and so on. I found it so cool in The Witcher, Fable and Gothic 3, u actually could have sex (NEEEERD) and that there was a lovemaking cut-scene!! Even if digital video game girls are not sexy, they definitely are cute like Coco Bandicoot or Dixy Kong. U know the combination, huge eyes, huge eye lasses, an innoncent childish look and a lovely smile can give u the cuttest little thing! I dont wanna begin listing games with sexy chicks (i just refered to the most noteworthy), Id prefer to write a book instead! Though i believe that whatever contains sex/nude in big doses most of the times that happens because it has flaws (Tomb Raider, DOA etc.), still this is a good promoting way  and an easy money-maker. So as long as sex sells, everyone wants to benefit from it. So simple as that. Sex n sensuality can be everywhere and fortunately in games as well, so we have one more reason to melt our brains playing!
BloodRayne n her ... blades!
