Video games, like all art forms, can inform and inspire peopleâŠand their sex lives. Popular culture might like associating games with crushed cans of Monster Energy and glasses held in the middle with tape, but some video games are sexually active. Some, like the ones in this slideshow, can welcome their ready players into a type of desire theyâve never felt before through BDSM, or bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism and masochism (itâs a mouthful).
Popular titles like Ladykiller in a Bind, Monster Girl Island feature aspects of BDSM, as, frequently, will whatever whiny VR girl you find on video game porn site Nutaku (no relation). Sometimes itâs as subtle as a rope restraint, other times there are more overt displays of dominance or submission. People who have played NSFW video games before will be familiar with the game industryâs take on BDSM, but if youâre hungry for more on your computer screen or brainstorming for real life, look no further.
No matter what youâre here for, though, rememberââreal life BDSM is a lot different from video games,â Mistress Shayla Lange, co-creator of educational BDSM web series 7 Days of Domination, told me. âSomething that is really hot in a game might be overwhelming or unpleasant in person.â
Though many NSFW video games employ aspects of BDSM that may spark your interest, not every depiction of BDSM in games translates well to the actual bedroom. Some sex games even perpetuate dangerous misconceptions about women and kink, so itâs important you know that a video game fantasy canât exist out of your head. The seven games youâll find in this slideshow are dignified introductions to the subculture. Theyâll help make your game time stimulating while Mistress Shayla advises on how you can get ready for the real thing, if youâre ready for it.
