Sex Is Violence/Tabletop Games

Examples of Sex Is Violence in Tabletop Games include:

• Exalted has the Sapphire Veils of Passion Style. Sidereal Martial Arts are all based on expressing various universal principles and concepts through the medium of Supernatural Martial Arts. Sapphire Veils of Passion's theme is, well... sex.
• The Chaos God Slaanesh in Warhammer Fantasy Battle and Warhammer 40,000 is the personification of this trope. Pain and pleasure (writhing in ecstatic pleasure when engulfed by a flamethrower), love and hate, beauty and suffering, all in one easy mindfucking package. It's followers are Sense Freaks and Too Kinky to Torture to the utter screaming extreme, considering any experience, win or lose, to be one to savour, regardless if said experience is, say, evisceration with a chain-axe or immolation with futuristic napalm. It's all good.
• The Dark Eldar in Warhammer 40,000 seem to get off on horrible torture, combining Sex Is Violence with Combat Sadomasochists, to the extent that their codex bears the phrase "Pray they don't take you alive".
• All over the World of Darkness games, especially Werewolf and Vampire, and especially in the art direction.
