For me it's not an issue of morality. Sex has a sticky quality to it, and
as it has taken over the rest of your surroundings, why give up your RPG
to it as well? And sex done in media which wish to remain otherwise
"reputable" has a false and pandering quality to it. A "realistic" level
of the "biological process" is easily left to the refs. You don't want
pesky biological distractions getting in the way of mass murder in your
RPGs.
