Yes, I would've left it out entirely. I don't at all see it contributing anything to the game in any way. However, if they were going to have it, then just do it the way it's done in many other games: fade to black without showing anything explicit.
The point about oversexualization is to say that Larian intentioanlly included unecessary sexually explicit scenes in the game as a way to attract a bigger audience to their game. Nothing further needs be said here. It's a very straightforward point that requires no further elaboration.
And the point about interactivity was my way of explaining why in an age of porn aplenty young people would want this rather tame version of virtual sex. The interactivity point was not criticism of the game, but rather explaining that even though far more explicit porn exists out there, and even for free, all of that porn has to be consumed passively, whereas in this game a player can interact within the sexual material. And this can make a big difference for some people.
Too add to that, this wouldn't be quite as bad if BG3 were not so lacking in other parts. All this sex focus wasted resources that were desperately needed elsewhere.
- Instead of sex scenes (which in comparison are rather complex) they could have spend the animation budget on making the main character not look like an idiot in most dialogues (especially the nonhuman ones) - Instead of forcing in Halsin (another elf druid) they could have made a companion of one of the missing classes and races (which tend to be less attractive) - Instead of mellowing out all companions to make them easy to get and sex up, they could have had really evil characters (Shadowheart) with a more interesting story than "just misunderstood" or "actually nice". For someone to be even considered to become a justicar, Shadowheart behaves nothing like a Sharr follower.
