History Main / OptionalSexualEncounter

* In ''PlanescapeTorment'' there are prostitutes that fit this role, but more importantly, allow Morte to raise his taunt skill by bantering with them.

* In ''AlphaProtocol'', Mike can potentially sleep with Mina, Scarlett, or Madison, if he has a strong [[RelationshipValues positive relationship]] with them. SIE is also an option, if Mike chooses her as his handler for the final mission, where she'll break into the medical bay to release Mike. And then she'll let him out of his restraints, too.

* Depending on your choices, It is possible for this to happen to Ethan Mars and Madison Paige in ''VideoGame/HeavyRain''. Bonus in that not only do you get to see what is going on, but the whole scene is completely interactive.

*** One possible option is to hire a ghoul prostitute. Then there's the Courier's reaction when hiring (or testing) the sexbot... Mohave sex is weird.

* A few of the ''HarvestMoon'' games (specifically ''Back To Nature'' and ''Friends of Mineral Town'') have "special dates" that you can have with the potential bride of your choice, by giving the Harvest Goddess gifts for ten straight days. You'll immediately get a scene at the Hot Spring with the girl of your choice, where you and she [[GRatedSex "spend some time together"]]. If you're already married, you'll just get some Relaxation Tea Leaves.

** The ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights'' hall of fame user created module ''ADanceWithRogues'' is notorious for using this trope extensively.

* ''Videogame/MassEffect1'' plays this straight with your (male or female) lead character able to court either a human crew member of the opposite sex or a [[OneGenderRace monogendered]] ([[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe but female-looking]]) alien. Following the romance subplot leads to a 30-second {{cutscene}} showing mild sexual images, near the end of a 20-hour game. There is also an opportunity to engage in a sexual encounter with a second member of the aforementioned genderless alien species, if one expresses disappointment with the more mundane gift she offers in return for helping her.

** And you can [[AManIsNotAVirgin do it again]] in ''{{Persona 4}}.''

* A few of the ''HarvestMoon'' games (specifically ''Back To Nature'' and ''Friends of Mineral Town'') have "special dates" that you can have with the potential bride of your choice, by [[strike:bribing]] giving the Harvest Goddess gifts for ten straight days. You'll immediately get a scene at the Hot Spring with the girl of your choice, where you and she [[GRatedSex "spend some time together"]]. (Although, given the confusion she'll show when the scene begins, some UnfortunateImplications can be drawn about consent.)
** If you're already married, you'll just get some Relaxation Tea Leaves.

** Averted in ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' with both Nova, the Megaton prostitute who you can hire to "sleep with" you. She literally goes up to a room and falls asleep. Similarly, at one point you can buy a combat slave who will repeatedly offer to be a SexSlave, but [[ChasteHero your character isn't interested...]][[GameMod Unless you're using certain mods, of course.]]

* ''SuperheroLeagueOfHoboken'' allows the members of the party to visit brothels. Such an experience raises their, well, experience.

* In ''Videogame/SaintsRowIV'', you can "romance" all of your crew members with a press of a button.

* The RPG ''DivineDivinity'' allows you to sleep with prostitutes (of either sex); the first time gains you extra experience points.
** As does the second if you ask for the "special treatment".
* The culmination of the romance paths in ''BaldursGate II'' is the chance to sleep with your paramour (though, in at least one case, doing so is a bad idea). There is also a mod which adds a number of one-off sexual encounters.

[[caption-width-right:290:BowChickaWowWow.]] In certain games, particulary computer {{RPG}}s, the player character will be able to engage in sexual encounters with [[Main/{{NPC}} NPCs]]. These often have no discernible in-game effect, and since you (usually) [[SceneryCensor do not get to see anything interesting]] (owing to [[MoralGuardians censorship]]), these do not actually qualify as [[Main/EyeCandy sex scenes]]. These scenes are usually only good for [[BraggingRightsReward self-imposed challenges]] of the "[[Main/GottaCatchThemAll gotta screw them all]]" variety.

* Each ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'' game has one of these. You get a decent amount of red orbs for doing them, although this is useless in ''God of War 2'' since you lose all your red orbs shortly after, before you have a chance to use them. However it could be worse - you could get [[DoubleEntendre blue orbs]].

* ''I-0'' by Creator/AdamCadre (subtitled "Jailbait on the Interstate") can be completed without screwing your way through every {{NPC}} you run into, though, assuming you skip the SexIsDeath moments, it's a lot less fun.

* ''Videogame/MassEffect'' plays this straight with your (male or female) lead character able to court either a human crew member of the opposite sex or a [[OneGenderRace monogendered]] ([[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe but female-looking]]) alien. Following the romance subplot leads to a 30-second {{cutscene}} showing mild sexual images, near the end of a 20-hour game. There is also an opportunity to engage in a sexual encounter with a second member of the aforementioned genderless alien species, if one expresses disappointment with the more mundane gift she offers in return for helping her.

** In the sequel, if Shepard is male, he has the option to have casual sex with [[spoiler:Jack]], after which she wants nothing to do with him. (In contrast, if Shepard turns her down but then spends time earning her trust, it turns into a RomanceSidequest, one of the six possible in the game.)

** The "Bastard of Kosigan" module series (male characters only, for story reasons) also includes several optional sexual encounters. In one case the woman disappears as soon as you leave the area and doesn't show up again until the ending sequence, and in another case you can invite the woman to join your party, but she never references your experience again. With the red-headed peasant you have the option of coming back during the siege to rescue her from the French, implying that she will be important in the as-yet untranslated fifth module; Yannia does comment on your experience together later on; and the AuthorAvatar that shows up in the prologue scenes to give plot exposition has no relevance to the story and doesn't even seem like the same person in her two appearances (in the first you can seduce her, in the second you are limited to flirting). Curiously, the only major female character who you can't have sex with is your character's first lover (not counting the French lord's daughter and the ugly daughter of the Duke of Burgundy), though you do get a rather thorough make-out scene with her if you choose the right dialogue options.
*** Many of the sex scenes are cleverly designed to be quite different depending on how handsome your character is. The mercenary in the forest outside of Cologne is rather...eager...if you have a high Charisma score, but it plays out more like a rape scene if you have a low Charisma.

* Inverted with VideoGame/{{Cubivore}}. You are required to enter the Tunnel of Love to progress the game. In it you mate with all the females you attract, up to twenty-five.

** Actually you do not have to be playing on "Hard" to get the [=CGs=]. You can choose any difficulty you want.
*** The sequel brings the old Soul Breed System back with a new twist [[YouLoseAtZeroTrust if your relationship with your chosen one is bad enough]], she will still bear your child but it will be heavily implied you raped her to make the heir as the scene is rather dark with an ominous music to it.

*** Well with Nova, you can always play up on implications that you have done "it" while sleeping with her.
**** If the mechanic didn't shatter SuspensionOfDisbelief beyond the most desperate attempts to block out the cognitive dissonance of it...at least Morrowind and Oblivion mods have the excuse of being amateur work, and even they didn't put the partner to sleep before the black-out.

** It's worth mentioning that all the above are probably ''canon''. The leader writer of ''Revelations'' suggested that aside from his eventual children with Sofia, Ezio more than likely had fathered [[ReallyGetsAround more than one]] illegitimate child from all of his various conquests.
