Pretty much all of it is skippable like any other cutscene too, I can't really think of one I had to sit and watch rather than just press Square/X to skip.
I'd like to just add that having to skip a game's content is never a good sign.
Then don't choose to sleep with them then. Pick different dialogue options.
Why is it a choice in the first place?
Because it is. It's a part of who the characters are in such a world.
That's stupid.
It really isn't because trying to censor your own game and story for the sake of another person's feelings is dumb and the writers do what they think best fits to their fictional universe.

CDPR didn't create the Witcher.

It's not a matter of censorship--it's about having sex scenes in a video game being a terrible idea, always.

No one's saying they're not allowed to have sex scenes. I'm just saying--I don't think they have ANY place in games.

Whatever you think is irrelevant. If it fits and advances the story if written in a way that it does, then it doesn't matter.

No shit. That doesn't mean I have to like it. And I don't. And I never will. Because it's stupid. And disgusting.

Well you don't have to skip it, you can avoid it entirely but should you accidentally trigger one of the cutscenes they included a skip option for those who don't feel like watching it.

The same mechanism applies for all cutscenes too, you can fast forward/skip stuff if you don't want to watch/hear it. It's a way of letting the player decide whether they want to see that content or not, without making a censored edition of the game.

I understand how skipping works, thank you.

My point was that skipping the cutscene doesn't really do anything--it's still a part of the game.

Well, if a game has sex scenes just because then it's completely stupid.

Like, if Halo suddenly had a sex scene for no apparent reason, then it's utterly ridiculous.

The Witcher doesn't have sex scenes and nudity just because. It has it because it's a part of that world. It fits, and isn't just thrown in there.
It's a complex and diverse universe that shows how shitty war is and how shitty the world can be in general.

Then why does it seem like a bad sign if it's included in a game?

It's a pretty normal feature for any game with a story.

Edit for the edit: True, however the game is adapted from a series of novels and those novels contain similar themes/events (I haven't started reading them yet mind you, but that's what I've heard). So I mean, I'm not gonna say CDPR should include them in the way that they do (You could do something similar with a fade to black euphemism rather than polygonal fornication) but they are keeping true to the source material by portraying geralt the way he was written.

Stuff shouldn't be thrown into a game just because it "fits." That's a lame excuse.

It's completely optional side content. It's a pretty big nothing.

I added some in an edit above this post but

I suppose that's more of a matter of how a person approaches content, for as long as I can remember whenever something like that came onto the TV/Film/Episode/Game or anything, I skipped forward past it.

I have no desire to see that kind of content, infact it's not just neutrality I really dislike seeing it. However it is a part of media because the wider audience are normie meatbags who get bored without boobs in their netflix dramas, so I could either refuse to watch shows that I would enjoy because of lewdity or I can carry on skipping past the smut.

Unfortunately it's not going away anytime soon, and until saudi arabia becomes a mainstream media consumer demanding saudi edits of content simulcast I have to put up with it.

Call it what you want. You're advocating censorship, which messes with the original content.

Just using your logic against you, Verb.

That's not my logic, though.

"Hey, this isn't really a good idea--maybe we shouldn't do this."

How is that even close to censorship?
