I agree that Bioware is dropping the ball. They've gone as far as grant normalcy to hot lesbian sex, but they still can't bring themselves to give male/male the same treatment. A real shame, and it speaks to a possible immaturity of the Bioware crowd. I say this as a straight gamer: the world need some homosexual badasses in media. Guys who stab and shoot and kill, and occasionally have sex with other men.

Having said that, I'm kind of sick of Bioware romances in general. I feel like there are far more interesting and compelling and game-affecting story arcs and dialog options that they could be implementing instead of the obnoxious slow slides into black'd-out sex groans. If there was a mechanic attached to your lover... such as the relationship unlocks powers/bonuses, then I'd be all for it. As it goes, the romance writing is embarrassing, way too verbose (good romances are understated, not drawn out to agonizing lengths), and it seems really hollow.
