Abstract

Sex, porn and video games are cultural elements of great importance and consumption. Additionally, a critical and artistic movement called post-porn has emerged in recent years and seeks to create new forms of experimenting sexual pleasure as well as non-normative porn in order to visibilize and empower both women and sexual minorities. The present paper aims to explore the intersection between sex and porn with video games, spaces historically conceived for male use. To that end, we provide an overview of the representation of sex and we analyze if there are examples of works that could be considered post-pornographic in video games. We conclude that the presentation of sex in this medium is still cisheterocentric and catering to the male gaze but that the existence of some post-pornographic practices illustrates the potential that video games have to dismantle gender and sexual stereotypes.
