I meant Nodame.
At any rate, this episode caused quite a lot of discussion, nearly 3 pages.
I'd say, this episode was a turning point, for better or worse.

Why do I always always always read spoilers? Honestly, I'm like a moth to a flame.
I didn't think sex would be possible within SAO, considering it's an all-ages VR MMORPG. I couldn't imagine it not being censored for sex considering how bloodless it is.
I was genuinely surprised that they brought Kirito and Asuna together in the middle (?) of the series, that defies every law of anime which mandates they drag romantic subplots until someone gets stabbed, decapitated, and sent on a lovely cruise as to make the issue moot. I was also surprised by the creepy follower dude's sudden turnaround. I mean I figured something hairy was going to go down, but it was like a minute after they set off from my perspective.

They didn't show it in the episode but there is an ethical code function which you have to explicitly deactivate to do certain stuff, or else the other player can just tag you as doing as assault leading to you getting orange status etc.
Oh, and why should sex be forbidden in a full VR environment? It's not like it's the US where you have to be 18 to be allowed to do sex ;)
(click to show/hide)The relationship of Asuna and Kirito is the main driving point for the Alfheim Arc in Vol 3

Common sense. Not that that seems to apply to SAO.
If sexually explicit content was really available in a contemporary MMORPG you'd be seeing naked bodies everywhere after not too long. The industry is already pretty stripperific as is.
Mirgond:
First: SAO is an full VR RPG
Second: Sensory input is not perfect. Sure you controll your ingame body as your RL body, since the signalinput and output is directly taken from/delivered to your brain while it's blocked to the rest of your body, but that doesn't mean it's perfect. It wasn't mentioned in the anime, since they decided to not show that specific sidestory, but in the LN it's mentioned that the VR can't give you the perfect feeling of a bath, it just feels wrong. Same for other sensory input. What was mentioned was that pain is blocked, but how do you want to distinguish perfectly between pain and pleasure nerve signals?
Third: The game uses calibration data from your real body. So whoever sees you in the game naked has - so to say - seen you naked in RL. I bet many people wouldn't have a problem with others seeing their avatar naked, but their real body?
Fourth: Running around naked... sure some pubertal adolescents would do that, but it loses it's uniqueness etc after a couple times. What's not forbidden is not interesting for adolescents. And don't forget that you don't have armor on yourself if you are naked ;) Have fun with the next mob. See you in town.
So, finally: With the above, why don't just meet in RL and have sex - with full sensory input ;) - there? Sure, you can't get pregnant in a VR, but hey, ever heard of condoms?
Spoiler about SAO(you have been warned, again):
(click to show/hide)In truth, you CAN get pregnant in SAO, or at least get a child. As seen in the next two episodes with Yui being Asunas and Kiritos daughter.
Okay, she's only a sprite (not as in graphic, but in it's cyberpunk sense), not a physical entity, but who cares about the difference.
