High-level speedruns are spectacular demonstrations of gaming skill, practice, and preparation, with titles like Minecraft, Halo, and Mario captivating the speedrunning community for decades. 


But now, Larian Studios’s Baldur's Gate 3 is giving speedrunners a new coveted target, and it’s something that gamers have been trying in real life for a very long time: Get laid as quickly as possible.



Baldur's Gate 3 allows players to unlock romance options with any of the game’s major characters, and players are predictably rocketing themselves into sexual situations as fast as the game will let them. But unlike real sex, with more experience, their times just keep getting lower and lower.


The current “fastest to sex” record holder is Mae, a YouTuber with about 600 subscribers, who set a time of 4:12 on Friday. Mae is also the holder of the outright Baldur's Gate 3 speedrun record at 8:58, so it makes sense that he’d be good at getting laid… in game of course.



“I have to admit that when I was 10 years old, ‘world record sex speedrunner’ is not where I thought I would be in 10 years,” he commented on his video.


Funnily, muscle-bound lizard people are the playable characters of choice for this challenge, given their ability to jump well and traverse the world quickly. I always knew the lizard people were coming for our romantic partners!


It’s nice to know that gamers are finally breaking stereotypes and working on their rizz… in game anyway.


As @ottrTweets joked, “Finally, competitive sex.”
