Actually, the first Mass Effect did show a fair bit during the sex scene, including some butt shots of female characters, so you at least got to see something. It was probably the most risque thing in a mainstream game at the time. But I hate romances in RPGs too, especially the way Bioware did them, and how romances pretty much took over everything about their design philosophies.
The First one got them national coverage on the media with full outrage. While that clearly helped them with marketing, it was obvious how much they cut back because of it.
