Should it just be implied or actually seen on the screen? Can it be handled tastefully, or will it descend into porn?
Are there any games that handle this well? Badly?

We don't have to necessarily agree but, if we don't, like TV, we don't have to look.

Checking back to the starting post the point seemed to be whether erotica could appear in advnnture games without it being porn. That's where I was coming from. Putting it into a game just for titillation value chepened the game as a whole (and pushed it towards porn)
I have no problem with pornographic games but they're not for me. Pornographic games are as old as computers. There's even a site dedicated to the low-res 16 colour porn of the commodore 64 (I'll try to find the address later. I'm posting during lunch at work at the moment.)
There will always be a market for these games and they'll always be produced. But in a serious adventure game as much as a serious film it spoils it for me when these things are thrust in (if you'll pardon the phrase
) just to create a cheap attraction.
