\n\tin Linz) is the most important conference investigating the
\n\tintersection of sex and technology. The past six editions revolved
\n\taround themes like porn as innovation driver, sexuality in science
\n\tfiction or body enhancements. This year the emphasis was on games<\/a> and the three day festival included performances, workshops, and an
\n\teclectic mix of lectures: from the challenges of simulating sexual
\n\tintercourse in Nordic LARPs to the dating strategies among volunteers in
\n\tdisaster zones, from the physics of vibrators and sex machines to the
\n\tauto-ethnography of masturbation\u2026
\n\tMy talk simply dealt with the procedural representation of sex in
\n\tvideogames. I publish the presentation here, along with most of the
\n\timages and videos I screened. The text is a transcript quickly adjusted
\n\tto the written form so forgive me for the colloquial style, the
\n\trepetitions and the wonky grammar.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n![](\"http:\/\/www.molleindustria.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/venn.png\")

\n\tWhat is the role of sex in the functionalist worlds of videogames? How
\n\tcome that modeling intercourses through cybernetic systems seems only to
\n\tproduce hilarious, problematic and delightfully reductionist outcomes?
\n\tIn this gonzo survey of playable coitus, I descend from the prudish
\n\tpolish of AAA games to the subappreciated subterranean genre of
\n\tinteractive pornography (so you don\u2019t have to) and then re-emerge to
\n\tenvision alternative design approaches for healthy, sex-positive,
\n\tpost-pornographic, radical games.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
