If you’re horrible in bed and don’t have enough guts or brains to learn better techniques, then Sega Toys has something for you.
That’s right, the company that makes video games for children of all ages is now releasing ‘The Love Trainer‘, a headphone set that guides you through better sex.
The ‘Trainer’, which monitors your heart rate, says things like:
"The foreplay, will now begin!" "Please confirm the heart rate sensor!"
That Kanji’s character comes to American gamers through a Japanese game is not surprising. Japanese attitudes toward sexuality and homosexuality are incredibly different than those of the West, even though the general assumption from Westerners is that the Japanese are a repressed people.
Because there is no legislation relating to homosexual sex, it’s not a hot-button social or moral issue in Japan like it is in America. Many Japanese gay men resist the Western notion of "gay rights" because sexuality is not thought of in terms of what is right or wrong, but rather as play or something people may choose to engage in if they wish.
Now it looks like Apple is having second thoughts. After hitting the top spot on the Japanese App Store and seeing 20,000 downloads over ten days, Wobble has been asked by Apple to remove anything having to do with ‘Boobs’ and ‘Booty’ from their marketing text. Developer Jon Atherton writes that he tried to point out that this was outright censorship, only to (unsurprisingly) be told that it was Apple’s way or the highway.
Spun from a game concept put forth at the Nordic Game Jam, Dark Room Sex Game is a Wiimote enabled game in which players try to climax with their partners – with no on-screen visuals whatsoever. The students from IT University Copenhagen who made the game submitted it to this year’s Independent Games Festival Student Competition. GameCareerGuide caught up with them about the titillating title.

Description: Dark Room Sex Game is an erotic multi-player rhythm game without any graphics, played only by audio and haptic cues. The game can be played with Nintendo Wiimote controllers or a keyboard.
In Dark Room Sex Game, the player works with his or her partner to find a mutual rhythm, then speeds up gradually until climax. In four-player "orgy" mode, players swap partners randomly and compete to reach orgasm the fastest.
An Oklahoma state senator has proposed tax incentives for game developers – but only if their project is eligible for a T (13+) or lesser rating from the ESRB.
It was longtime GamePolitics comment moderator E. Zachary Knight who alerted us to the measure, SB644. The proposal by Sen. Anthony Sykes (R), would make game projects eligible for tax breaks which already apply to films, commercials and TV productions in the state.
The video game rating requirement is spelled out in the language of the bill:
“Video games” mean products that are intended for commercial use or are produced for distribution on electronic media and which include an appreciable quantity of at least three (3) of the following types of data: text, sound, fixed images, animated images and 3D geometry and which are rated or will be rated by the Entertainment Software Rating Board with the ratings of Early Childhood, Everyone, Everyone 10+ and Teen.
While games are restricted to projects appropriate for those under 17, the only eligibility requirement placed on film content is that it be neither child pornography nor obscene. By that standard, R-rated films and MA-17 television programs would easily qualify for the tax break.
