Note: I've gotten sick, so I have a bit of time to write this. It's just a short article to clarify my standpoint on a certain matter.

Well, its been a while. So let’s just jump right in.

I’ve read through a lot of responses to my Why Skyrim is dead and the Modding Community is Lifeless or Why I made Tinvaak-Tlking with dragons articleand a couple of interesting points jumped out at me. A lot of people have somehow gotten the idea I am against sexual content in the modding community. Now usually I would just point and laugh at these people but I can’t because of two reasons:
1. There’s really a lot of them (like too much to pin it on a mistake on their behalf)and 2. People have gotten the idea that I’m trying to offend them.
Now due to number 2. being also the second interesting point that I’ve found jumping out at me, I will clarify that issue first.

I use a method of speech known usually as “tongue in cheek:” its a disingenuous mode of speaking for the purpose of making something more funny and entertaining or simply provoking thought through forcing the person to think upon the opposite of what you are disingenuously saying.So when I say the modding community is a throng of babbling weeaboos and horny pubescents stuck on the sinking ship of original Skyrim because Bethesda added a few Christmas lights to a re-release, what I’m actually doing is hyperbolising the negative aspects of the modding community to bring more attention to it and degrading the large international company to a mundane standard in order to point out the corruption that may only be seen when one adopts a realistic or pragmatic view. All the while, I’m using language to illicit feelings within you that will help you feel the injustice and melancholy at what is an absurd world. Either that or I’m just trying to make you laugh. Normally I’m doing both. Frequently I’m succeeding at neither.

So, now that that’s out of the picture. On to the first point that got my attention.Do I think there shouldn’t be sexual content in the modding community.……..no.
Well, I suppose that clarifies it all. So, now we can all move on and get back to our lives.

But if you’ve got a couple of minutes I might explain how I am against the sexual content currently in the mod community for Bethesda’s RPGs but at the same time wish there was more sex.
You see I don’t actually see the sexual content on offer: the bikinis, skimpy armors, weird fetish followers, as actual sexual content.
Its a difficult concept to explain. But one that is so very clear to me.Imagine a society that was afraid of music. Music wasn’t allowed on the streets, to talk with your parents about music would be shameful and embarrassing for both parties, talking about music on T.V. was a big no, certain words like “song, instrument, symphony,” were all not to be uttered in public
In everyday life a person’s throat was covered up because that was seen as a vital part of music and hence it was dirty or filthy. 
If one wanted to listen to music on their own or even make music, they were expected to do in their private homes. But even then there was people who thought that music was never supposed to be played alone or listened to or even thought of because of the disapproval of God or the mental health of society or decency or whatever.
People who wanted to make music with others were forced to be private and quiet about it. People who wanted to sell their music were shunned and there were even people who were enslaved and forced to make unenjoyable music for cruel masters.
Online, one could find lots of music. But it was nothing more than a jumble of hysterical notes. It was nothing like real music. But people couldn’t tell the difference. If you wanted to listen to music online you were seen as an animal (even by the producers of this xxx music). You were bombarded with music that meant nothing, the people who sang did so with no heart, the guitars were plucked in every possible except in the way the musician wanted. It was staged, heartless and cold.
That is what sex looks like to me.

Sex is something humanity has explored for centuries. It has always been something more than just a physical act of pleasure. It has been our route to a transcendence.The Egyptians prized sexual activity as a pillar of their society. The act of sex was not seen as a filthy bestial urge but as a means of connecting with the gods. Their itinerant musicians wore tattoos on their breasts and thighs advertised themselves as sexually available. They were misinterpreted as prostitutes by the conservative Victorians but were more likely women who were engaging in per-marital sex as a requirement for marriage. These women were not seen as whores or sinners but as sacred, close to the gods who themselves could take the form of itinerant musicians.In Greece the naked human body was a thing of beauty and power. Many see Greek statues and imagine it as lewd but the Ancient Greeks did not automatically associate sex with nakedness. They saw breasts and curves as markers of female gender and prestige. Male sexual prowess was established through domination and fertility as seen through Zeus and his inability to keep it in his pants.Homosexuality was very much celebrated among Greece and her neighbors. I can say that anyone who has read Sappho’s poetry can really understand the artistic value of sexuality that can be expressed in language.

And so, I look at the mods of Skyrim, Fallout, etc. and I see a machine like production of perfect cookie cutter bodies and a focus on female nudity and fantastical proportions.
Sex isn’t just the biological contact between genitalia. It is a finer, more abstract thing. It is an intimacy of human beings where the minds find common ground and hearts feel mixtures of emotions: anxiety, comfort, joy, contentment. And its far more than the bedroom.Sex is a beautiful thing that is entwined with various kinds of love. It is the connection between two human beings as they begin to understand each-other and become closer in their hearts and minds. It is an attraction between them as they begin to notice things about eachother: smells, tastes, the way one’s hair falls on their shoulders, the flicker of yellow in their iris, their face as they concentrate. All of these things settle in the brain as it begins to prepare the body for the sacred act that has preserved our species and contributed to our brilliance as creative beings.

That’s sex. Now there are some mods that I would say are quite sexual. Take flexcreator’s immersive love making, Thatguyyeah’s Serana dialogue edit, Maraskyfeather’s Skyrim Romance, Fox Finger’s Amorous adventures to name a few. 
Rarely does one find sexual or intimate moments within mods unless they had originally set out on that path in particular. I suppose its a limitation built into the actual game. Bethesda appears to be somewhat afraid of sexuality within their games despite having an overtly sexually open world like the Elder Scrolls or an amoral world like Fallout to play with (their view of marriage in Skyrim would’ve made John Calvin think they were uptight). The two closest characters one’s protagonist can get with in their games was Amata from Fallout 3 and Serana from Dawngaurd. Even then, both characters get cold feet at the last moment and (literally in one case) seal you off. As if the characterization quota had been filled and so it was time to ship it out to market.
And so with little in the way of a head start, its not unexpected if modders don’t create very much sexual, romantic content. Though, I really don’t think that's an excuse to fill the community with the kind of fantastical standalone monstrosities with their model faces, mascara, grotesque proportions, garbed in as much cloth as it takes to make a tea cosy, paraded like a cow at the market to be bought and regularly used to get of to with as much enthusiasm as eating a digestive biscuit. 
I’ll admit, perhaps I’ve been harsh. For example, I have made out nude females to be a titillation mod when it does nothing more than represent the female body as it is, without any huge breasts or skimpy armor shots.
But I suppose my greatest sin was not explaining the concept I had of sexual content. I suppose I’ll just have to explain every little thing I do from now on.
