I personally think that sex in stories is, in small amounts, beneficial to character development. While one can argue that Kat did sleep with Carter at one point or another, you obviously don't see them bumping uglies in the game. Same goes with Dare and Buck, while it's pretty much implied in Halo 3: ODST that they were very romantically involved at some point, and still somewhat involved with each other, they most you see between the two (and in any relationship in all of the games) is them kissing near the end.
