I keep seeing people talking about sexual games on steam. I've yet to see one. I'm sure they exist .. but how common are they? Do people actually play those? Even if I wanted to do so, I would instantly assume because it's on steam there's a chance my friends could see me playing it no matter my settings, and that would be a no-go. It's just awkward.

It'd be like jerking off with the shades open because "well no one is supposed to be in my backyard". Okay but what if some kids are there to get their ball or something? You have to assume unexpected things will happen in life.

It's fairly common, see a lot of them on the top selling games too

I’ve yet to see one.

Your preferences are probably set to not display games with nudity and sexual themes. They give quite a bit of fine tuned control over this, actually - you can limit only nudity, or only sexual themes, or only outright pornographic games.

For my part, even when I enabled all content, they would only show at most a couple NSFW games throughout the entire front page, but it probably suggests more if you buy them (just like how I got innundated with suggestions of card games after buying Slay The Spire, bleh)
