Sex Replaces Fighting in New Online GamesOnline games have so far mainly revolved around the killing of fantasy monsters. The occasional fight with a Stormtrooper provides some variety.
Companies are now developing a handful of games - though calling them that is a stretch - designed to give players a very different option: making love, not war.
In "Naughty America: The Game," set to launch early this summer, players will assume the forms of alluring but cartoonish people who meet, flirt and have sex with other player characters.
This new crop of adults-only games would combine the player-player interaction of the online games and the graphic sexuality of the single-player games.
Game designer Brenda Brathwaite, who has been in the industry for more than 20 years, sees the new games as a natural evolution of online life, noting that even in the very simple text-based adventure games of the 80s, virtual eyelashes were batted.
"If there were two people playing, eventually those people would start flirting," said Brathwaite, who is working on a book about sex in video games.
