I find the 'Realism' products can be a bit too 'in your face' sometimes. whereas the Imagination line seems a lot more subtle.

DG


'in your face'? Could you go into detail on what you mean?

I'll be honest with you... the whole thing I was trying to say at the beginning of the thread was that it appears to me that prim genitalia are mostly rather crap, that most sex animations I've had the misfortune to see have been mostly crap and that I feel the human mind, with all its intricacies and delights, can conjure up a myriad of exciting and stimulating images for people wishing to engage in pixel sex.... images which I feel do a far better job than the crap text written into prim genitalia and other sex toys. If there were awards for poor sex writing, the designers of most SL 'talking' sex objects would form an enormous mountain on the plinth.

So yes, I invented the 'Imagination' line of products.... sorry. And no, I have no experience of Realism products or Dark Delights. My sincere apologies for misleading most of the people reading the forum. I'll tuck my irony back into my trousers and take it home.

Please note I wasn't trying to be combative it was a simple inquiry as to what you ment. :) thanks for the clarifiaction.

I have a xcite penis and my issue with it is it tries TOO hard to be real. My partner has to keep playing with it to keep it erect (which button clicking during pixel & phone sex at the same time is just added complexity, distraction) plus the whole once you ejectulate it takes a bit to get erect again. I have them A for effort and 'realism' but like all online games when it comes to 'realism' theres a fine line between 'cool' and disruptive/annoying.

You can change that though...it just takes a little editing of the notecards. *shrug*

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

Dudeney,
It can be rather intimidating to post questions on the forum. Especially when asking for advice on something as tabboo as sex toys. Why didn't you just say that the first time? You came across to me like you were taking a cheap shot at MoxZ while they were vulnerable.

I'm not sure why sex toys are taboo, to be honest - especially when they're cartoon ones. I didn't say it the first time because I thought we might all have some fun with an amusing conversation (sort of like Brocolli and I did, if you look back over the posts). As for being vulnerable - how did you get to decide that MoxZ is vulnerable? As far as I can see it was a shopping question, not a question demanding psychological profiling or emotional distress support - though I may, of course, be wrong. As for my original posting, I still stand by my point - no manner of cartoon penises saying things such as "Dirk Diggly thrusts his pulsing manhood deep inside... etc., etc." is ever going to best good old imagination, eloquence and fantasy.

I'm with Dud on this one. I spent quite a lot on one of XCite's competitors. It works fine, but I never used it more than a few times. Chat with one's partner is much more flexible and exciting than listening to some program tell me how I am feeling.

The guys, on the other hand, tend to feel undressed without a visible attachment. I'll admit, it does enhance the realism of the animation (as long as the member in question isn't so long it comes out your back or something).

But...guys? The best cybersex I ever had was with a newbie who didn't have so much as a one-prim penis. Not only that, but the only animation handy was a PG rated cuddle pose.

The chat more than made up for those shortcomings. God, that man could write a steamy love scene.

Yes, not ALL of us are walking around with wooden banana's pushing you across the floor. Some of us enjoy weaving a wonderful little tapestry of sensual delight.

The avatars just add another layer on top of the story. Thats why I prefer the more realistic looking "add-ons" to assist in the visual.

And no amount of imagination, eloquence and fantasy will ever beat RL. My worst days with Kathy are better than my best days in SL. Am I wrong to enjoy them both?

No, not in the slightest. But I wasn't proposing either or..... nor anything near that. Of course RL is better when it comes to touch, feel, aroma and all the rest. But if one is going to have pixel sex my only real point was that it's better to do it with someone who has a good imagination and a varied vocabulary than someone who has the dollars to spend on the latest cartoon genitalia. Or is it that SL mirrors RL and we're all taken in by the cartoon Porsches or the unfeasible buttock/breast combos and don't worry that the person driving/wearing them can't string two words together (apart from the 'wanna sex?' variety of conversation)?

Xcite and other scripted toys can sometimes distract your partner.

I have experienced lovers who are actually pretty good at normal text cyber sex reduced to click happy idiots when xcite was added.

Same issue can occur with sexgen beds. Because there are so many animations available they get cyber ADD and have to change positions on you every 30 seconds.

Basically the more things you give them to click and choose buttons on blue menus, the more attention they pay to the gizmos, and the less attention they pay to YOU the one they are cybering.

If on the other hand you are with someone who isn't distracted by all this nonsense, it works out fine,

Personally I am an imagination guy when it comes to love making as is my wife. We do use animated poses, but they are merely an aid, some of our best love making has even been on animations that did not match our imagination. We simply find out imagination much more intimate and personal to us, the animations everyone has and is the same for all.

As for parts this may ultimately come down to your personal preference between imperfect products unless you feel you can do better and have the motivation to tackle it yourself.

The chat is primary, but the animations do add another layer that feeds the imagination.

As for male appendages, I've been told that Lotus makes a nice one with several levels of, um, excitement, and no distracting chattiness.

"And no amount of imagination, eloquence and fantasy will ever beat RL"

Not sure that is my experience. *sniffs* In real life, guys I've been with tend to be "finished" just when I'm starting to warm up. The slow pace of text is incredibly satisfying in comparison.

All the attachments, poseballs, animations, scripts, etc.... these are just props to help the play move along. Some props are better than others, and some props detract from the play. As to the original question, I think Winter Ventura's "Venus" for women is simply beautiful. The design is natural and spam-free.

As a newb to SL... this whole conversaton has been very enlightening - THANKS all

So can anyone tell me more... do avatar add-on penises react on their own to other people touching/saying ?? Can an add-on penis climax? can it be made to climax by someone else??? (this is like being a 11 yr old boy again asking the senior kids ...)

Oh yes - I fell for, and made a note of the "imagination" reference, and laughed aloud when DG admitted he meant "use your imagination" ... brilliant

g

(ps : For me, two people with vivid imaginations and ability to write well will always rate higher than watching pixels groove... if the writing is creating the right atmosphere, then the right pixels are an extra 10% on top )

oh and another thing... do ADD-on penises have to be worn or unworn, or can they be invisible under clothing ..??

I got a free one somewhere but if you wear it, it is OVER any clothes... like being a flasher... would be nicer to be able to strip off clothes to reveal..

AND ont hat subject... can avatars STRIP off ...rather than just magicly remove clothes ..a sexy strip??
