The definitive news source for sexual content in games. Published by the IGDA's Sex SIG.

The Sex SIG of the International Game Developers Association welcomes everyone interested in the topic of sexual content in video games, particularly developers active or interested in adult content development.

The adult content development community grows every year. It needs a place where it can discuss the unique issues, challenges and possibilities it faces while sharing information with others hoping to enter the field.

The Sex SIG hopes this "Sex & Games" blog will serve as an informational clearinghouse for such content, helping us to connect with everyone that shares our common goal of responsible, age-appropriate content development.

Link of the Day: Booty Buster

Today's link

Adult link

Turn your speakers down first

Booty Buster

Not at all what its name might make you think it is, Booty Buster is what happens when you add sex to Pong. It's oddly addictive in a "why am I playing Pong" kind of way.

TerraNova: Say Please and Thank You

Writer Bonnie Ruberg has a piece up on TerraNova, Say Please and Thank You, on matters in virtual worlds, particularly when it comes to asking someone their real gender.

In a virtual community like Second Life, however, the rules of politeness are often quite different. How could they be the same? Here, personal information is hardly ever personal, and private encounters rarely stay private. So – in a world where public nudity, open solicitations, and gropings between strangers are all run of the mill – what determines "rude"?

University Student Looking for Interview Subjects

Just in from a student...

As part of an ongoing research project, I would like to talk to players about their sexual experiences within virtual environments such as Everquest II, Second Life and Sociolotron. I plan on conducting these interviews via e-mail, online forums, instant messages and in-game interactions.

I realize that this is a sensitive subject. I have no ulterior motives to this study except to learn about people and their in-game sexual practices. If you decide to participate, your anonymity and confidentiality will be assured. The study will only mention the subjects' genders and ages.

You must be at least 18 to participate. If you are willing to be interviewed, please contact me here.

I have also created an online forum for the study. If you would like to establish a dialogue via a password-protected forum thread, please set up an account by going to the forum and clicking on the "register" button. Setting up an account requires e-mail verification.

I understand that the gaming community is bombarded with survey requests that never lead anywhere. This request is different. Our class is committed to sharing its research findings. At the end of the semester, all student papers and presentations will be linked to the course web site and made available to anyone with an Internet connection.

CNN: Hefner says "80 is the new 40"

CNN has an article up on Playboy's Hugh Hefner's 80th birthday: Playboy's Hefner: '80 is the new 40'.

... Playboy with its mission of sexual liberation is as relevant as ever in these days of federal government crackdowns on television content that some consider indecent.

"Attitudes toward nudity and Playboy have changed, in many ways, very little," says the man who gave the world the centerfold. "In some ways it is even more political than it was in the '50s and '60s."
