Will sex in games ever actually be sexy?

Gamesblog on Guardian Unlimited has an article asking the question "Will sex in games ever actually be sexy?" Given advances in graphics and A.I., will sex in games come close to the real thing? For some gamers who don't have a life... maybe. But it's an interesting thing that developers are trying to recreate almost every human activity in games.
...the next generation consoles courting a wider social demographic and promising (I almost dread writing this) photo-realistic graphics (there, I did it), perhaps things will change. There's a chance we will begin to see Japanese dating games that graduate from high school. Or an evolution of the social gaming introduced by The Sims. I visited Lionhead on Thursday where Peter Molyneux chatted briefly about his latest ridiculously ambitious project, Dimitri, in which players will get to re-live their own teenage years in intricate detail with all the sexual angst that will inevitably include.
