This is the most horny RPG I have ever played. Yet I don't think it is over-sexualized. The way characters are dressed is generally tasteful. We all know the stereotype of female "armour" in RPG's. BG3 doesn't do that. The exception to that is maybe Karlach, but she is literally on fire when you meet her. So I'll give her a pass on that one.

In my opinion the only companion that fits this descriptions is Halsin, which turns into a sex pest in act 3. But the others? I think it adds more than it takes away. Drow matriarchs are known to use sex to control their underlings, which is why she tries to murder you if you refuse. The Gith reproduce asexually, so sex is "no strings attached for" for them. Which is why lae'zel will bang you early on and only catches feelings later. And Astarion is well, Astarion. None of these fit the mould of what I would consider a normal/healthy relationship. But they do fit their lore, which is what makes it believable.
