As a rule, I'm celebate in SL. I don't think sex should be taken out of SL but I wouldn't mind seeing a reduction in the number of sex-related venues and ads. As for our bare bodies, I want mine to remain anatomically complete! I do like to go naked from time to time, I see no harm in that. I don't want my undies glued on.

Anyway, if SL banned sex or nudity, the open source SL 'cloners' would soon create a rival world for the oversexed avs to migrate to! There's already Open Life and Central Grid plus a few others - but I don't know what their rules on sexual content are.

I work very close to a location that is the heaven for manga lovers...........I see this everyday........the boom now is so great with the internet bring the world closer together........

I don't really have any problems with sex in SL at all. If anything it's just silly. But whatever.

It's just annoying to be trying to build something uplifting and to turn around and see some kid banging a girl in the bum in public a sandbox. That's just animalistic and isn't good for my motivation at all!

So yeah, that's the memory I had in my mind when I wrote my post. That dammed horny little kid!. But I never would've reported them. I just rolled my eyes and hung myself.

Maybe you'll understand now :)

Sorry 2k, my post was multipurpose and not very well sectioned. I agree totally that there are times and places .. well, places that should be sacrosanct.

My bad .. just can't remember seeing such a long post .. I don't get here so often these days

If it were JUST the occasional penis, sure.

Instead, what one is confronted with upon entering the world of SL in the wrong area is a veritable FOREST of penises. The penises feed each other and breed with each other to create more penii, and there is even a subtle ecological system at work within the virtual penis forest.
The only time in SL that I ever see lots of penises running around in one location is when I go to the sex areas to tease folks. I just don't see it in the areas that I normally frequent.

The major difference here is that Capitalists can only sit over in their gigantic continent getting fatter and fatter until they're too big to be much of a threat to you. And if you continue to remain Communist, you can eventually graduate to becoming the nation that literally pwns the Capitalists and their economy.


The only people epically pwned by Stalin were fellow communists - most of them Russian or Eastern bloc.

As for the above quoted statement, you're absolutely right. There's ample proof that we're about to be overrun by the USSR. Wait. Nope, not them. I meant Cuba. Stop laughing...I mean...um...the other Communist nations...China? No, they are going capitalist as fast as they can without losing their ability to run over political and religious dissidents with leftover Soviet tanks. I give up. Who is this mysterious red threat?

Well as you know there is a retailer that sells items through SL VIA Selling website......So I would say there might be a possible outlet for japanese retailers to use the SL platform to sell their goods. But on another note, the Role play these people do pretending to be japanese (males playing females) might be living out a fantaze about being japanese might confuse these people even more. Rember most of these type of people are not even 18 years of ago........Look at any of those signup locations and anyone can get inthe game without any proof of real e-mail or personal information. This is done on purpose to allow thise influx of manga lovers in LLABS knows this but continues to turn the other set of face cheeks..saying nomatter waht the kids will get in regaurdless and its not our responibilty to stop them..........

Yeah, I've been busily paying attention to the US Economy swirling around the toilet while China leans on the lever.

I mean, what?



China's so called "economic" miracle is a result of them gradually moving away from their communist silliness becoming a capitalist country. I don't see how that is any kind of an indictment against capitalism.

Of course, we've had this discussion before, inwhich it was pointed out (by me) that the combined economy of the EU totally pwns America and China anyway, and that when the inevitable rise of the United States of Europe happens, we'll totally pwn everyone. I know this because of my learnings.

Isn't the internet great? In days gone by, scat fetishists, peadophiles, furries and Wapanese kept their dirty secrets to themselves. Now that everyone has a voice, deviants feel empowered to come out of the woodwork and act as if their degeneracy were acceptable simply because now they know other people are as screwed up as them.

Long live the internet!

That's essentially what I meant about China. It doesn't count as being pwned by Communists if they use capitalism to do it. Then you just got pwned by Capitalists wearing funny green uniforms that hearken back to the days of failed communism.

As for the combined economy of the EU or the United States of Europe or whatever, that's a capitalist system, so even if Conan's learnin's prove correct, nobody has been pwned by communists.


FRANCE! I forgot about France. They're communists, right? They could attack England with pitchforks and manure spreaders any day now. Something tells me the English won't need a lot of outside help to quell that one, but you never know.

What do I know about that stuff?

I realized that afterward. I'm sluggish today, home sick with my usual post flight cold. Every time I fly, I get sick.

/me soothes your fevered brow with a cool hand.

At any rate, FWIW, I rarely (read "next to never";) have SLex but its existence is titillating and fun and dangerous and all those other things. Without it, SL would be Disney World. So yes, I would leave.

...The sex was taken out ?
No penises, no vaginas, no sex-balls...etc..
..would you still come into Second Life?

My answer is definitely yes..!!
I am not here for the sex, the fumbling or the 'cyber'. I am here to meet interesting,
and decent people. Though I have met some of the worst that this planet can offer aswell.



Well, skilled I am not, but I suppose I would increase my descriptive skills and learn to adapt. Just because the props are removed doesn't remove the imagination.......

I like sex, I like SL sex, I like yahoo sex.. The only thing I don't like is phone sex.

So, as a adaptable pervert to some, I stand up and say.. Yes I would still come.

Kudos to SL for making barbie doll sex so fun.

I think I would leave because if you took out sex the entire male population of SL would leave. I guess that would be more than half? :eek:

Yes, ofcourse i will continue to stay here. Sex, is only fun when in love with someone. The chemistry so to speak. Just like in RL.
(i know some (if not many here) like doing it out of pure physical lust, but not me, i need to have a emotional/mental connection with the person... )
But, no, i did not start here for sex activity.
There are lots of other need things to do, like meeting up, discussing, building, exploring etc etc...

And yes, i do have a true partner ;)
so do the math, in relation to sex.

"Sausage Fest" implies that the all-male group is potentially sad/upset/disgruntled that it's an all-male group. "Half-Price Shoe Sale" implies that the all-female group could care less if men are there or not. We're buying shoes, after all!

I have to chime in with the female collective here. I would definitely stay, but I love sex as much as the next girl.

I think that sex is special IW and in FL. I am not one to go to orgies, escorts, sex parties, etc. My pixel bits are special and private.

Sex IW is all about the words and the mind. Personally, I think it is easier to have sex IFL because it is all about the body. There is little communication and little attached to the mind. In SL, it is all about losing inhibitions, sharing very intimate language, the words and engaging the mind. It is very powerful.

I have had sex IW when it was special and when it wasn't. The sex with the someone special was way better and actually pretty incredible. :D

But I would give it up if I had to...
