Why are Cheeky Porn Games Getting More Popular Lately?

As the times evolve and change, so do the things we enjoy doing. Technology has all but changed the way that we live and also the way that we play and unwind. But, with technology becoming such a powerful tool for so many things, it’s bound to bring up some questions and concerns. Probably one of the biggest concerns with technology these days is, why are cheeky porn games rising in popularity? It’s an interesting question, and definitely worth looking into, so let’s jump right in.

Mainstream Media

Gaming became extremely community focused back in 2010. It started on YouTube and then transitioned over to Twitch, which allows users to create their own streaming and gaming content. Since its inception, till today, Twitch hosts millions of users and their content. It is one of the biggest gaming community sites on the web! And, it probably goes without saying, just as gaming became mainstream, so did porn.

We could perhaps blame it all on the mobile industry, which made porn easily accessible and readily available to just about everybody. This mobile boom caused a rise in many apps like Tinder, which have all but made casual hook-ups a modern-day thing. Over the last decade or so, the market for adult streaming and porn platforms like Chaturbate, have gone fully mainstream. It’s easy to say, these days, that porn is everywhere and it’s become just as mainstream as Netflix.

It’s a Taboo Type of Entertainment

If you ask a bunch of people in a room, “who likes to have fun?” chances are that just about the entire audience would raise their hand, maybe even chuckle a little bit. There is a pretty big audience for this. Who doesn’t like their favorite games or movies? We all like having fun. But, if you were to ask that same group of people, “how many of you enjoy porn or sex?” you would maybe get half the hands raised, possibly even less. But, it’s also a safe bet that way more of them actually do enjoy it … they’re just too ashamed to raise their hand and admit it. For ages now, sex has been a taboo topic.

Many religions shine a negative light on the subject and a lot of shame surrounds the world of sex and lust. It’s even considered a sin, in many religions and beliefs. So, with such a wide taboo around the subject, it’s long been hushed and swept under the rug. But people are becoming more comfortable with the subject of sex and are seeing it as less of a taboo thing. In fact, many are doing away with the negative stigmas surrounding sex entirely. We’ve seen a movement these past few decades with sexual liberation.

The LGBT+ community is thriving nowadays and more and more people are being more open about their sexuality and sex all together. It isn’t so taboo anymore and the stigmas behind sex are slowly beginning to die out.

Steam Revolutionized It

Nothing solidified that adults-only games are mainstream quite like Steam when they decided to reverse their ban on pornographic games back in late 2018. Ever since, Steam has seen a massive wave of adults-only content hit the gaming market! It’s actually created an entirely new industry off of it. And wouldn’t you know it – the sky didn’t fall, like so many people were scared that it would. And it didn’t cause a screeching stop to Steam’s content either. They made buying pornographic games as easy as buying any other type of online game and there is an enormous market for that type of content!

People Associate Gaming and Sex in the Same Ways

When you get off work after having a particularly rough day, it can feel good to sit down to a blood bath video games and violently shoot your enemies to smithereens. But watching porn or playing an adult themed game can give you that same hit of dopamine. It can alleviate stress and be a form of entertainment, just the same that a regular game could. In fact, the world of gaming and porn have long blurred together.

According to Pornhub insights, many porn searches are related to hot game babes. For example, just nine days after the release of the game “Resident Evil” porn queries for “Resident Evil” went up a whopping 223 percent. And that is just one example of many. Pornhub found many other similar searches after various games were released. People love gaming and people love sex, so it seems like a combination of the two things was bound to happen, at some point.

It Makes Good Money

Gaming companies have long created the games that they know people will enjoy and be entertained by. That is why whenever a TV series or a movie has a huge following and rave reviews, there is likely to be a game inspired by and created from it. Games sell like hot cakes on a cold day, so the people creating those games are making what their customers are asking for. So, if the customers are obviously interested in more sexually natured games, the gaming companies are going to comply. Where there is money to be made, there will be the people, making the products that sell.

It’s Popular

If there wasn’t a market for it, they wouldn’t be making it, right? Sex and gaming are transforming, and more and more people are jumping on the bandwagon. It’s becoming more and more mainstream these days. With technology always growing and changing and with the gaming world also always growing and changing, its popularity is bound to merge and will continue to evolve.

The Future

As technology grows, so will more and more ways to create entertainment and experiences that make people happy. The adult-game industry isn’t going anywhere. It is likely that in time, we’ll see a rise in adult themed games and a lessened stigma on sex entirely.
