Sexing it app: The erotic video games that explore sexuality

Just the idea of touching a sexual organ was a problem." Jarnfelt and Hasselager are at the centre of a growing community of developers who are making games that explore issues around sex and sexuality. They help run the annual Lyst conference, where developers meet to discuss and show off games such as Breakup – a VR experience in which you endlessly repeat the last few moments of a relationship – and Pocket Jockey – in which players make other players' phones vibrate. The third Lyst event took place in Hamar, Norway, last weekend. "The community is growing, we're getting more and more participants," says Hasselager. "Love, romance and sex are some of the most natural human emotions but they are portrayed so badly in games," she says.
