Mass Effect, The Sims and Fable it really isnt about charming someone into bed but just about
beingcreepilypersistent.Interactingwithapotentialsexualpartnerateveryjunctureandnever
leaving them alone is presented as the way to have sex with them, rather than establishing a
genuine bond. This is a message which could wreak havoc on a gamers sex life. Pressuring
someone into sex (a trait particularly common among men) is not only creepy but is generally
ineffective.TheSimstakesitastepfurtherbysuggestingthatthewaytoreconcilearelationship

6.PersonalGrooming
SpendingtensofhoursestablishinganempiretosecureworlddominationonCivilizationV,playing
season after season on Football Manager or struggling to find every Buried Chest on Assassins
Creed IV means that you have less time to maintain your real life appearance. Youll certainly

exponentially harder to get laid unless youre one of those blessed geeky individuals who still
remainsattractivetotheoppositesexinspiteofallthesehabits(likePewdiepie,forexample).
5.Gaming-Goggles
A huge percentage of 18 to 29yearolds sex lives are sustained by going to bars and clubs and
pickingupasuitablemanorwomantheclubissimilartoasupermarketwitharangeofdifferent
sexual partners to choose between. Copious amounts of alcohol mean that beergoggles make
meeting anattractive man or woman a difficult task. Having alcohol in your system makes

3.ScheduleClash

Of course gaming is a pastime which is fun whenever and wherever we do it. However, video
gamerswhoseaddictionsareimpactingtheirsexlivesarealmostalwaysmostactivelateatnight.

girlfriend/boyfriendisstayingoverandyouremoreinterestedinrampagingonGTA,beforevery
long youll find yourself gaming in a dark room on your own. Gaming into the early hours also
means youll wake up tired which eliminates the Holy Grail that is morning sex. Do yourselves a
favorandmakesuretokeepthegamingtoapremidnighttimeframe.

buttons in a quick time sequence. For gamers who havent got lucky in a while, seeing gaming
sequences like this which understate the simplicity of being a god between the sheets is a
dangerous business. Unless youre one of the lucky few who it comes naturally to, being a sex
master like Kratos is rather more difficult than hitting triangle at the right time. Moreover, as
