Character driven story games place at least some emphasis on sexuality and relationships in many games. Cyberpunk, The Witcher, Mass Effect, Baldur’s Gate 3, The Last of Us.
To be clear, you define the sexuality of your own character in BG3. Every companion NPC, on the other hand, will have a boner for you if you take them on adventures and do stuff they like, regardless of your character’s race, sex, or religion.
Bro playing Farming Simulator 21 suddenly wondered why he was farming to make all that money, who answers when he calls out, “honey, I’m home!”? When he lives on a map that has no home, just more fields.

Story-driven games are expensive, inferior books. Fite me.
I agree. Story is great don’t get me wrong, but gameplay is king. Never sacrifice the latter in reverence of the former.
Ok, maybe I just play the wrong games. I haven’t payed any of those.
It’s definitely a genre thing.
Sim games, platformers, management games, multiplayer shooters etc very rarely bring it into the equation because in those games then either:
A) There’s no named protagonist at all
B) The protagonist is ‘You’ so as little as possible is depicted about them to be unobtrusive
C) The protagonist notionally exists and has a name and depiction, yet they are so irrelevant to the story that no details about them are provided.
Narrative-driven games are a totally different beast.

There’s never a wrong game! Play what you want.
