I think this is a good example on how system can actually help immersion. Playing out the sex for real is of course more realistic but I belive most people would have problems staying in character during sex. Ars Armandi tries to retain the feel of sex without it being sex in any conventional definition of the word. The method is of course intimate enough that some people will have problems using it, something that will probably be the case with any system more involved than saying "And now our characters have sex? Ok!"
I'm not sure how this way of using system for immersion could be translated to rules based tabletop roleplaying but I guess some small part of it could be used for inspiration.
