At the very least, there should be the option to turn off sex scenes (fade to black or remove them entirely) in the game settings for e.g., youtube streamers, playing with friends or family, to be more ace-friendly, and just anyone who doesn't want them in their game but still wants to initiate a romance with a companion for any extra dialogue/etc.

The real question is why should we have a problem if there is sex? laugh

The game isn't oversexualized for having sex scenes, it's a minor part of the game, the characters and personal stories. And sex is the most natural thing in the world and the reason we as a human race still exist. It is also the pinnacle of love between two souls. People act as if sex is a vile hideous thing to witness, when actually it's mother nature at its core, especially when it involves two loving partners.

If someone is sensitive about it, first of all this is a mature game and as such comes with different varieties of mature content. Luckily for such people though there is a SKIP button and the scenes are completely avoidable. And anyone playing this around kids and such is highly irresponsible and entirely at fault. Just like people shouldn't watch R rated horror movies in front of kids. As for streamers... sex is allowed in games to be broadcasted as long as it's not the main focus of the stream.
