Is it just some weird tradition? If i imagine myself living with like 5 sexy ladies, 1 being big chested, one being cute..... and i have so many chances, example some girl wants to sleep in your room.... in your bes, but you sleep on the floor lol. And in some of them we have breasts flashing eveywhere? Cant we get some off screen sex please? It would make the romance greater and story deeper :(

1) The censors won't allow them.
2) The authors like to keep drama going by not letting any girl get much progress. What sex, most of the time they don't even get to kiss until the very end!
3) They say japanese guys are very obsessed about virginity. So any of the girls having sex is a big problem for them.
3.1) Let's hope nobody really thinks it works like in that Garden hentai.
3.2) As eroge laws tell us, that includes characters that should really have a lot of sexual experience, like mothers.
4) It's funnier if they get interrupted in the middle.

If you want sex, watch a hentai.

Harem is more about the pre-relationship part. It's the fantasy of having 5 girls competing for your attention, the courtship, etc. It's also a bit more concerned with romance. It's not just sexual fantasy, but a social fantasy. It's for lonely people who want not just sex but the connection. That's why the girls tend to have a variety of personalities.

Probably those. Having sex means conclusion which destroys the fantasy of harem.

There are plenty of Senien Harem manga that have sex though.

Because all harem MCs secretly are gay and only have multiple girls for the sake of coming off as 101 % heterosexual

I personally would just watch hentai if I wanted to see that, but then again I think true harem endings are awful. In a harem anime where the main character picks one of the girls, sex would end the series as said above. I don't see it increasing the romance in anyway. Sex with multiple partners would most likely make me drop it unless it was done hilariously like
Fighting over a guy is one thing, but being okay with a bunch of other girls banging him is just gross to me.

Personally I like it when the MC is seen as the kind of person who should have a harem (for example, a demon lord) and the girls don't have to worry that only one of them ends up chosen.

When I see a guy in anime that I think actually deserves a harem maybe I'll change my opinion, but every one I've seen the series makes completely ridiculous arguments as to why the harem exists in the first place. It usually comes down to, this guy is nice and is probably the only nice guy in existence so I'll happily spread my legs for him and be completely okay with every other girl doing it too.

Most of the MC's either act oblivious, scared, or too embarrassed whenever a girl even gets close to them or show off their femine features. There are some tho who do get laid.

This guy right here, Basara, is not a wimp to actually get some

People think harems are made for self-insert betas, but what's really sad are the hot blooded wanna be alpha try-hards getting jealous that they have to scrub the deck of some titanic sized she ogre all the while becoming enraged by an MC that doesn't take advantage of the opportunity they're dying to have.
