Move over honey... ditto me that- (I have been nicely seduced mind you- but I am starting to think it's for my rapier wit)- never in the almost two years of my SL life have I ever been propositioned- Do I need new skin or something? Go hang out at the Welcome Areas or OI Public for a while. ![]() _____________________

Yeah, I admit. I don't have the frame for it. Nor the female sexuality to pull it off... nor the chest... I guess it is a good thing I don't cross dress. Of course as you say.. it could be a good harassment tool for the ladies. Then maybe I can score a place in "Tell me your dirt guy's" *article* _____________________

My heart pounds as I reach into my pants and pull out my large bulging wallet, slowly slip out a slim shiny credit card and hold it before my body, waving it slowly in the breeze. I look over and wink and whisper softly "Shoes?"
Oh the horror! Buy me pretty things and seduce me?.....I won't stand for it, Goddamnit!!!_____________________

Rude behavior isn't sexual harrassment.
A boss saying, "Service me or you are fired." is sexual harrassment. _____________________

I often get a variety of rude behaviour, innuendo's, condescension etc. There are a lot of men who seem to think that because you are female that you are in some way deficient and/or need looking after. SL seems either to magnify that or I come in to way more contact with men like that than in RL.
Actual sexual harassment though I do not get any of really, though I expect in SL it depends on your definitions. I have had people I have met one time come "pay me visits" in an unwelcome fashion but I have tools to deal with that, though I suppose that could be classed as stalking but as sex in SL is not real, how can there really be sexual harassment? For instance, you cannot grope anyone in SL unless they agree to it except if someone uses a lame anim to make it look like a grope is going on. It is not really possible to stop people leaving and that by itself stop any real harassment of any kind. You can emote doing unwelcome things to a person in their vicinity but you can easily leave, mute them, eject and ban them if you own the land. Racking my brains to figure out what that might leave in terms of harassment...not much if anything. Surely harassment is the repetition of unwelcome behaviour towards you and not just a one of event. If you can prevent the repetition (and yes we have the tools for that) then I personally would not call it harassment any longer though I expect the protagonist would like to be harassing still I suppose - maybe it comes down to intent rather than the effectiveness, but I am not really sure how once you deal with the unwelcome event you can easily discern their ongoing intentions. I suspect it depends on how sensitive you are to things in a virtual world as to whether you *feel* harassed but the big question really is: Does that mean you are being harassed? _____________________

I have not been abused and if I were, I probably enjoyed it in SL and then teleported out when I was done and/or bored.
And I haven't abused anyone except for playing with their feelings, jousting unnecessarily on the forums, being nice and mean and nice and mean again constantly, pulling people closer only to push them way back.... you know the usual run around game, but I think my subjects always enjoyed it cause they kept coming back for more. ![]() |

bloodninja: Ok baby, we got to hurry, I don't know how long I can keep it ready for you. j_gurli3: thats ok. ok i'm a japanese schoolgirl, what r u. bloodninja: A Rhinocerus. Well, hung like one, thats for sure. j_gurli3: haha, ok lets go. j_gurli3: i put my hand through ur hair, and kiss u on the neck. bloodninja: I stomp the ground, and snort, to alert you that you are in my breeding territory. j_gurli3: haha, ok, u know that turns me on. j_gurli3: i start unbuttoning ur shirt. bloodninja: Rhinoceruses don't wear shirts. j_gurli3: No, ur not really a Rhinocerus silly, it's just part of the game. bloodninja: Rhinoceruses don't play games. They f*cking charge your ass. j_gurli3: stop, cmon be serious. bloodninja: It doesn't get any more serious than a Rhinocerus about to charge your ass. bloodninja: I stomp my feet, the dust stirs around my tough skinned feet. j_gurli3: thats it. bloodninja: Nostrils flaring, I lower my head. My horn, like some phallic symbol of my potent virility, is the last thing you see as skulls collide and mine remains the victor. You are now a bloody red ragdoll suspended in the air on my mighty horn. bloodninja: Goddam am I hard now. OMG that is one of the funniest things I have ever read here. thank you,I needed that lol._____________________

Maybe the OP is just trying to start an SL-centered porn collection to - ah - fantasize over.
But nobody could be THAT kinky. Could they? |

I'm doing a survey on Sexual harassment of female Avatars in second-life. If you have this kind of experiences, could you please share your stories with me. It will really help me. You can tell me the following things: Gender Harassment: Told offensive jokes Made offensive sexual remarks Made remarks about your body or sexual activities Displayed or distributed sexist materials Made sexist remarks Publish pictures, videos and movies online Unwanted sexual attention: Attempted to discuss sexual matters Gave unwanted sexual attention Attempted to establish a romantic or sexual relationship Continued to ask for dates, drinks, touching Impose sex-related sounds or images on a message Sexual coercion: Trailing your records Sexual insinuations Bribes and seductions to achieve sexual aims Yeah all the time! _____________________
To exchange power is sublime. To steal from another ... well, what goes around comes around.

Nothing about male avatars? I've had a fair bit of it dished my way! Some of those IM's, were they to be copied here, would be enough to turn the forum backround pink. I can't be alone in this either; I've heard of a few other, ah, rather predatory instances happen to other guys too. It must be my really cool avatar, I can think of no other reason... /me reminds herself to turn your chair physical ![]() _____________________

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things. Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut. |

My wife and I have been in SL for only a few weeks. I've been more preocupied with building and finding cool thngs than mingling, but she has spent a lot of time/money on a really, really hot avatar.
I mean she is something very special and gets attention. Last night we were in world and she was dancing at a formal dancing sim and accepted a dance from someone. I was off in another sim. She was enjoying herself in a slowdance when he suddenly removed his pants, jabbing her with something. She talked to the DJ she was friends with and promptly tossed and banned. While some might call that fun, it really threw her into shock RL and was really upset. We talked about it and after a while she was OK. It's amazing how we become personally involved in SL. Anyway we denied the jerks attempt to ruin another's time in SL. Yes, once again she's happily shopping, dancing, and shopping again. ![]() _____________________
