Roman5: as stated earlier: Porn games aren't my cup of tea

extremely gorey AO games though, I'm all up for that

I want the AO exclusive PC version of Manhunt2 here on GOG

KneeTheCap: I'm curious, now. Why are extremely gory games better for you than sexual games?
Cause there aren´t any good porn games, but good gory games?
For example Dark Messiah should be here!

Edit:
Somebody could consider Witcher II as a (softcore-) porn game, we´d than already have a good one here;)

Tallima: Now that part is, more or less, true. I don't think only Christians or religious people value abstinence, but is a rarity in many parts of the world today. I personally have many friends who waited until marriage -- all are Christians.
But they don't wait, they still had LOTS of sex, just with themselves. And if you do not consider that sex, then you should be strongly in favour of porn, because it could sure help staying abstinent.

Tallima: Thanks for the clue for the confusion.
It's only a guess though, hence the question mark. I can't speak for others.

Personally I don't see marriage in and of itself as much more than a simple way to get various benefits from the state, such as joined ownership of the house/apartment, car, and whatnot (requires less paperwork if you choose to marry than if not), though I understand that many people wish for a grand church wedding and accompanying party (marriage, in its simplest form around here, can be done pretty much by handing in a signed form to a state representative - which has nothing whatsoever to do with religion or church).

Disclaimer:
- I am not married, and have not yet had a partner (though I'm nearing 30 - by the time I get to know someone well enough that I consider spending the rest of life with them, I'm already deep into in the friend zone).
- I have several unmarried friends that do have stable relationships and kids.
- My mother hasn't married (and most likely won't, at this point).
- My father had two kids before marrying, with the mother of my brother and sister. She had a daughter - my stepsister - before.
- As far as I know, none of my friends (or parents' friends, I consider them friends too) waited until marriage to have kids.

Tallima: Now, I am a Christian. But that detracts from my statements.
I agree that religion is not a conducive topic for this particular discussion. While religion often does influence one's approach to sexuality (in all the various ways that exist in the range between Tantrism and celibate), one can have the same approaches to sexuality without adhering to any religion, so let's leave that out of the equation.

I do, however, think that you _also_ introduced aspects into the discussion that aren't conducive. That's an approach of "men are ...." and "women are ...", followed by very general statements that might represent your personal social environment, but its rigidity excludes a lot of the variety and differences that exist between humans.

As an example, my personal experiences of my partners' reaction to porn range from "You don't love me any more" to "I don't want you to watch it without me, but I'd LOVE to watch it together with you", to "Hey, do you have some girl-on-girl stuff?", to a woman who watched porn to scratch a particular itch that I couldn't cater to because it touched one of the very few taboos I have. I would never even dare to try to make a statement about "all women", or even "most women", because in my experience, reality is much more versatile and varied than the simple and clear-cut categories we might feel comfortable in.

So, if you abstain from porn for the reasons that you explained, you have my respect for that, and given your description, it certainly sounds like the right thing for you and your wife.

However, please be aware that others might feel offended by being told that (for example) they would be lying simply for stating that something which they enjoy doesn't affect them negatively. It's possible that you, with your background, can't imagine a different approach - but that doesn't mean that such different approaches don't exist, aren't just as valid as yours, or aren't even the better choice for people who happen to just be very different from you in this regard.

That's all very reasonable. Thank you.
As has been pointed out, there are already good titles here meant for adults only. And that's fine.
Come to think of it, entertainment not aimed for kids is my favourite kind.
Manhunt 2 is a pretty decent game, if you love stealth and want more games in that genre. It feels like playing an emulated console version most of the time, but it's perfectly functional. It has SecuROM DRM elsewhere, so a DRM free version on GOG would be nice.

Porn games though? No.

StingingVelvet: Porn games though? No.
Why not? If they are good, like this Seduce Me game that was mentioned.
If they had good gameplay, sure.

Like Sengoku Rance.
