17. Far Cry 3

Far Cry 3 is a first-person shooter sandbox game set on a lovely tropical island that actually looks like paradise on Earth. But it is far from paradise for protagonist Jason Brody and his friends, who are kidnapped by an evil band of pirates led by their insane leader Vaas.

Apart from being one of the best games of 2012, Far Cry 3 features dark and adult themes, like racism, torture, slavery and even rape. But probably the highlight of the game is a sex scene that involves the leader of the natives that inhabit Rook Island, Citra Talugmai. This scene was considered one of the most controversial moments in video games according to website Cheat Code Central, which had the following to say about it: “The scene that surprised us the most, however, was an actual first-person sex scene, which includes groping and all”. So now you know what you’re getting…

WARNING: This scene contains spoilers.

16. GTA 3: San Andreas

Although the more recent GTA V also features explicit sex scenes, this is the one that got everyone talking about video game sex. And this was due to the infamous Hot Coffee controversy. You see, hidden inside the game’s code was a mini game involving sex between the game’s protagonist CJ and the women he could go out with in the game.

A curious (not to mention nerdy) PC user found a way to unlock this code, releasing a patch known as “Hot Coffee”. This is because in the game CJ’s girlfriend would ask whether he wished to come into her apartment for coffee, referring of course to sex. All this offended the powers that be and the game had its rating changed to the infamous AO (Adults Only), meaning that boatloads of copies of the game had to be recalled from stores. This is all a bit sad, considering how tame the Hot Coffee sex is. Although it sure was something for hormonal adolescents to drool over.
