{{trope}}
[[Captain Obvious|A lot of video games involve characters]]. Sometimes those characters get it on. Of course, since this is a ''video game'', it's only a couple more steps of logic to present those, err, [[Is That What TheyreThey're Calling It Now?|activities]] as part of gameplay. The result is this trope, [[Trope Namer|so named]] after the [[Unusual Euphemism]] used in ''[[Grand Theft Auto San Andreas]]''. (See below for more details on its amusing history.)
 
Please note that this trope does not concern the depiction of sex in a video game; that falls under "[[Optional Sexual Encounter]]." This trope concerns when said encounter is ''interactive''. If the player doesn't have some control over what happens, it doesn't count. This means games like ''[[The Sims]]'' are right out, since you can tell your characters to "[[Unusual Euphemism|Woohoo]]," but the act itself is a [[Cutscene]] with no interactivity. Of course, [[Rule 34]] being what it is, there are [[Game Mod|Game Mods]] which make Woohoo interactive. Those ''do'' fall under this trope. (Again, more on that below.)
 
This trope often crosses over with [[Optional Sexual Encounter]], since (most) games do not make sex mandatory. Often overlaps with [[IKEA Erotica]] ("press B to thrust!").

* ''[[Mass Effect]]'' gets an honorable mention here. It does not actually exhibit this trope, as its [[Optional Sexual Encounter]] was completely non-interactive, but it was ''accused'' of having such a minigame ([[Did Not Do the Research|incorrectly]]) at the height of the Hot Coffee scandal, and reaped the rewards of free press.
** Special mention goes to Jack Thompson, who, [[Even Evil Has Standards|for some reason]], believed the "scandal" was overblown. This is coming from the same guy who called ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]'' and every other [[First -Person Shooter]] a [[Murder Simulator]].
* ''[[Temple of Elemental Evil]]'', a ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' video game made by [[Troika]], originally had a brothel that was later [[Dummied Out]]. With the ''Circle of Eight Mod Pack'', it becomes available again. Inside, the player can purchase sexual favors in dialogue which [http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/ToEE/Walkthrough/Nulb/Brothel.php "leave very little to the imagination."]
* ''[[Final Fantasy X 2 (Video Game)|Final Fantasy X-2]]'': comes damn near this trope; there's a minigame about halfway through where Yuna disguises herself as an enemy goon, goes to her arch-rival's mansion, and winds up unwittingly drafted into a massage minigame. Said rival tends to let out an orgasmic "AH! THERE!" when you hit a sweet spot;" there's also some snarky innuendo before and after from her two chief goons.
