http://www.wirednews.com/news/culture/0,71135-0.html?tw=wn_story_page_prev2Second Life is mentioned at the end of the story on sexually explicit games. If you dont' feel like reading the whole thing, here is the blurb: From: Wired
In Linden Lab's Second Life, a virtual world with no set rules, an estimated 30 percent of in-world commerce is related to sexual activity. "We didn't plan it that way at all," said Linden Lab programmer Aaron "Phoenix" Brashears. "But people love the novelty of it. You can be whatever you want -- a dragon or a fox or a dominatrix. There's no formula and the possibilities are endless."
The rest of the article is interesting, if for no other reason than to learn that many adult games are referred to as being of the "poke the doll" variety  PS - woops I posted under my cousin's account, I was checking out the L$ balance sit it has been untouched for 2 years and is a premium account - this is Cristiano.

Maybe it's because there's no real easy way for newbies to make money short of escorting.
Pretty funny though. The richest newbies are the ones that have big tits and shake em for lindens. What a great economy.

I'm just glad someone finally acknowledged the debauchery and depravity that is SL. After that sorry review of "Naughty America" claimed it was the first online world where people could actually have sex, I was starting to wonder.

On the subject of computer sex, did anyone see this article on Clickable Culture, where he edits one of the CG characters to actually have realistic proportions? (Well, on her spine anyway.) http://www.secretlair.com/index.php?/clickableculture/entry/is_this_virtually_hot_too/Once you look at the edited version, you can never look at the unedited one in the same way again... there's something really wrong about it, it's fallen into the Uncanny Valley. |

They had this as it's own entire article in the Wired magazine (the paper version). Complete with call girl interviews, and prim lingere legs
