BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk has said that the love making scene in Mass Effect was blown out of proportion in the media, and feels that it only makes sense to include such content when a mature relationship is part of the storyline.
“I don’t think they need to have them, I think that in certain types of games it makes sense to have them,” he told CVG. “It’s interesting because I think the Mass Effect thing was completely overblown. There wasn’t even really nudity; it was like the side of a leg. I think some of the press took huge advantage of the situation. The reality was that it was the kind of stuff you’d see on evening television.
“That said, I think from our perspective we want to reflect real human relationships. If you’re trying to have a relationship with a character we want to reflect that and the impact of the connection with that character. And if that involves some sort of intimate scenes, we want to provide those for the player.
“It’s based on the fact that this is a sophisticated, mature experience.”
Dragon Age: Origins will have a sex scene in it. No word on whether Mass Effect 2 will have one, but we know that it’s a possibility.

It makes perfect sense. It’s a part of real life just like violence and war. Violence and war is ok for videogames…why not sex..

It’s not usually part of real life for gamers.

There was a bit more than leg, there was definite sideboob!
But nothing you wouldn’t see in an episode of Star Trek. The subsequent over-reaction and Mature / 18+ ratings were ridiculous.

Sideboob?! Oh noes
Its because Parents be soo worry that their little 12 year old kid would get their hands on it then they see side boob and lesbian sex then there off to becoming a serial killer…

Mr. Zeschuk is absolutely correct! I believe that sex scenes should be a normal part of Mature-rated games. Of course, we should expect that the Fox News channel, and other politically conservative media outlets, will complain – but it is important for us to protest them.

It’s probably because mommy’s worried that little Timmy will finally work out what she’s been doing with the mailman.
Daddy wont be pleased.

Plenty of full boob on C4’s Embarrassing bodies which is pre-watershed.
Granted there’s normally something wrong, but it’s still boobs.
