So how many games are there with sex scenes?

There's the GTA games, I guess, if you count hookers and I think a few hidden ones with girls you date if you count fade to black and noises, I think? But GTA isn't worth discussing if we're gonna be all "Rawr moral outrage maturity rawr rawr blar".

Then there's... Dragon Age wherein to get to the sex scenes with everyone that wasn't a bisexual elf manslut, you had to actually get to know the characters and learned more about their characterization and what they were like than you could ever learn by not romancing them. Maybe the romances weren't perfectly written, or anything, but I can't honestly say that it was handled immaturely.

And then the two Mass Effect games, where, again, I can't really say it was handled immaturely, though the writing for them wasn't nearly as good as in Dragon Age. I guess I've seen Jack mentioned, but what isn't mentioned is that by doing anything with her early like that, you destroy the chance of developing a real relationship with her, or that the later scene you can get if you do is much softer and takes on an entirely different characteristic.

So, I guess if you're just bitching out of prudishness you might have a point, but unless I'm seriously missing some games here... I'm not seeing any kind of real point from a quality standpoint.

Though I haven't played this espionage game from the OP, so I don't know if you actually build a relationship with that woman before she ties you down and rapes you or what the hell. So there's that, I guess.

One game. Maybe.
