I'll take ef ~ A Tale of Memories as an example. Between Chihiro and Renji, they have a very powerful connection, but they have sex even in the anime (as do a few other couples). While it is cute to see them as a couple by going on dates and spending time together, it makes an emotional impact to know that they can make engage in the act of sex despite the boundaries concerning Chihiro's short span of memory. That is an example of bringing out emotion by sex, and it makes an even stronger impact during the game itself as these scenes are more drawn out. It shows that they leapt over a hurdle, cared about one another, and felt they trusted each other enough to have sex. In turn that makes the relationship for the reader more engaging, thus sucking the reader/playing into the story itself. Obviously though these are just my opinions, and those are yours. I never said RapeLay was a good game, in fact as a game it's really terrible gameplay wise. The story is pretty much nonexistent, but it's an example of porn being... well, porn. Which isn't uncommon in any sort of adult media outlet. @cyruz: The point of sex being included in a story is more along the lines of that sex is emotionally, and good stories bring out emotions.

I am actually glad about this. I have never been a fan of visual novels. I always think how in the world they can ruin b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l games like ef and eden* by turning them into eroge's. Well, not turning them into them, but it would be so great without the sex and rape stuff. Oh, I forgot: then they'd have no story or anything to put contrast into the game. My bad. Imho it destroys everything. And then there's a game where you goal is to rape a mother and her two daughters?! Oh yeah, of course, you're trying get them to 'enjoy' the act... The pathetic attempt at 'compensation ' by being killed eventually just makes me laugh. Also I can't really believe that only because of so many games being played in Japan their sex crime rate is rather low. That's like blaming the FPS games for Columbine. I'm not really going to discuss this as I don't see my opinion changing ever. I know you could probably argue about all of my points and maybe I can simply say this because banning these games doesn't really affect me personally. Yet I can only shake my head when I read about games like RapeLay and advice everyone to not approach me with a smiling face talking about games like this. D: Sorry for the messy comment. Good!
