In BG3 I had to sit there and click through a bunch of options every step of the way in order to fuck the squid guy, and each option was concerned with the emotional and sensory experience of fucking the squid guy. Like you had to choose to grab his tentacle, decide if you wanted to kiss or caress it or part the tentacles to find a mouth, decide that you wanted to keep going, decide how you were feeling about it, etc. It was a tender scene that did not shy away from eroticism, even if it was played slightly for comedy at the end (your companion's reactions when it turns out they could totally see you fucking the squid guy)

In Cyberpunk 2077 I got pretty much ambushed with a sex scene with some random hot corporate/military lady that was a few minutes of me looking at the screen, bored out of my mind while aggressive guitar riffs played and virtual titties glowed in the pink neon light, almost disembodied because there's so many camera cuts to keep up with the aggressive guitar riffs. Like I thought I was picking up a quest from this NPC I met exactly twice, for a previous quest, but no, it's just the "reward" of... an extremely vanilla sex scene but trying really hard to look kinky. The hot lady has vinyl tape over her nipples, you see. There's a dildo on the floor of the motel. Nevermind that the only things implied in this scene are her going down on you and... idk, scissoring I guess? Wow, so adult, what a mature game, how transgressive... It isn't even a rare or unique thing to experience in this game, you get the exact same scene with any "joytoy" (that's what sex workers are called here) you choose to hire off the street.

yeah like the squid fucking? A genuinely erotic scene that then is played for laughs. But the scene does not flinch or use humor to "hide" from the eroticism.

CP2077 is a pubescent kid knowing that they're supposed to find tits hot or whatever so they repeat all the time how hot they think tits are so that they don't feel embarrassed in front of the older more experienced kids (that also have no experience with tits)

in reply to @NoelBWrites's post:

and also they were not trying to appeal to the broadest common denominator with every sex scene. Most people are not going to be into squid fucking (or bear fucking, etc) but the scenes are still there because they make sense if your character makes the choices that lead you to specific scenes.
