Yes it it. A groaner of "Epic" proportions, isn't it?

Returning to the subject of the OP, I'd like to put a different perspective. I don't think casual sex is the danger, it's the romantic love that is going to get you messed up.
<snip - although all of his post is very good :-) >


I totally agree with Odysseus: it is not poseball hopping that damages RL relationships, it's when the heart becomes involved that there is trouble.

If your RL partner is fine with it, I suspect that no harm would come from hopping onto a poseball with a random avie. Perhaps you and your RL spouse could even watch the monitor together. ^_^

The problem comes when you're dancing so close you can feel the warmth of your partner's body, her arms soft around your neck, her fingers bringing tingles of delight as she plays with the hair at the nape of your neck, her perfume delights your senses. You stand locked in each other's embrace, gazing at the stars under the SL sky, his lips close on her soft, full lips, tender at first, becoming more demanding as the passion rises.

For me, hopping onto a poseball with a random avie is simply not pleasant. Romance is quite delightful, but dangerous to those with RL spouses.

I disagree to a degree - for some people, even casual poseball hopping is a sign of disrespect to their partner. It is totally dependent upon each couple's own situation. Trust and respect are paramount, and lack of the second undermines the first.

What I can't stand is the hypocrisy of anyone who condemns casual sex here, often because of basic prudish beliefs, but happily supports their friends getting partnered and even making vows to each other, in betrayal of their RL spouse. That is the truly destructive activity that I'd liked to see condemned more often; but it's cute, and has nice music and pretty dresses, so it can't be that bad, can it...?


Well yeah that is silly.

Of course why condemn either?

----------------------------------------------------

All I say is that doing anything of a sexual or romantic nature without the knowledge that a RL partner is fine with it; its cheating.

But if someone for whatever reason needs to cheat in this manner - Not my place to judge them.

Heck, I do it.

...et al...

ZOMG! laughs - what can I say!





Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory
She is smiling alone...

In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan.

Memory...
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then.
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again...

Every streetlamp
Seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

Daylight
I must wait
For the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day...
Will begin...


Aye, there you have it. One moment you are a carefree land baron playboy, the next you are paying for thirty kittens and 'the lifestyle they were accustomed to' - with nothing left but dried out catnip bits and fur all over the furniture.

:eek: Don't let this happen to you!

The firm of Manx, Bengal and Rex, Esq. is sorting out all the unfortunate details at great expense.

I agree, casual poseball hopping is not OK for everyone, but I do believe it can be OK when the spouse has agreed that it's not a problem. I agree that anything you have to do behind your partner's back can undermine a relationship.

. . . for some women watching football on TV is a sign of disrespect to their partner . . .

The biggest danger in SL casual sex has to do with geometry. It is very easy for guy's primnis to stab all the way through the body of his sexual partner and come out the other side.

A primnis head sticking out of the back of your skull, or out the small of you back is just not sexy.

All of this danger could be eliminated if guy's simply did not have 2 foot long Primnises!

Of course trying to convince them that is a lost cause.

I could quote you some entirely fictitious statistics that would prove that more divorces were caused by men watching TV and ignoring their wives in one month in the UK than globally as a result of cheating in sl since it started.

Pep (Sport would be cited even more often in the divorce court too!)

Guys do seem to be convinced that bigger is better, no matter what we women say. ;-)

The Midnight Lotus 'gold'... uh... attachment offers a scripted choice of twelve sizes, from 'Humble' to 'Ridiculous'. And the creator will even custom-make *bigger* sizes than 'Ridiculous'...

I wish there were stats available, to show how many male avatars chose which size ;)

Haha. Maybe we could make a geyser of blood attachment. Then if you see a primnis poke out your skull you can start the blood and scream "Ahhhh! You've f'd my brains out!"

OK, guys, if you had an attachment that was size 'Ridulous', just what would you do with it? Hang out in gym locker rooms feeling macho? You sure couldn't do anything...ummm.....useful with it involving a person of the opposite sex.

/me grins. I wouldn't know. I barely go beyond use of standard sizes myself. I just don't feel right walking around with a Captain Caveman club sticking out of my crotch.

However, I guess if one is roleplaying a demon, or other possibly non-human (and larger) avatar, I can get the need for 'Ridiculous', especially as the attachment is fully colour-customisable.

Not my style, but perhaps useful for the bestiality sims?
