Huh? Of course sexuality is considered worse than violence in games. I mean, think about it. Sure it's blurred but Manhunt 2 is an incredibly, incredibly violent game where you are a serial killer who kills people in just about the worst ways the developers could imagine. It got an M. Games with sexual content, though? Have anything beyond suggestion and a fade-out and there's no way you'd get away with an M... sexual content is incredibly tame in games (in America particularly) in comparison to violent content, and a lot of that is because of America's residual Puritanical culture.
As for Leisure Suit Larry, yeah, sometimes things slip through... presumably if the series had become a big hit it'd have gotten negative attention. Obviously it just never was quite successful enough to get to that point... like how it was Doom and not Wolfenstein that really set people off, perhaps. Wolfenstein isn't exactly nonviolent or lacking in disturbing imagery...
