Baldur's Gate 3 horniest speedrunning category is heating up

The race to see which Baldur's Gate 3 speedrunner can get to the game's first sex scene the fastest is heating up quickly.

Commenting on her own record-setting attempt, Mae wrote to her rival: "Challenge me again at your own peril, Toast," a surer sign than any that things had started to get spicy in more ways than one.

Since then, several other Baldur's Gate 3 sexrunners have entered the race, with the most up-to-date record being an astonishing 2:35 run from YouTuber Hears. As Mae was the first to set the record and seems keen on keeping it, it'll be interesting to see if she's able to take back her dubious crown.

I'm also curious to see how fast players are able to get laid with other characters in Baldur's Gate 3 like Astarion, Gale, and Shadowheart. Of all the available Baldur's Gate 3 romances, it seems Lae'zel is the most eager to get it on like Donkey Kong, but that's why you split the category up into various characters and have separate records for each one.

Dragon Age writer David Gaider recently stepped up to defend Lae'zel from her harshest critics, saying, "Fandom has always treated male characters with more forgiveness."

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
