And to stay somewhat OT, why isn't there a Deviant set in the middle of that giant dance floor? ;)

Love.


/me blinks... that gives a whole new dimension to:

You: How about a dance?
Her: Would love to
You: You pick...

... could end up in an interesting position. *grins*

Sorry, I'm not trolling and this must seem like a stupid question (given how huge the sex industry is in SL), but do people really get turned on by pixel sex?

I'm genuinely curious.


Serious answer to what I'm taking as a serious question. At it's worst, "sex" in second life is two people hopping on a poseball with the occasional "mmmmmmmm" and "oh god" thrown in. Apparently, some people do find this satisfying although for the life of me, I don't understand how. But then again, it's not my job to tell other people what they should and should not like.

At it's best though, sex in second life can be thought of as two skilled writers collaborating to write an intricate and richly detailed erotic story together. And yes, I do find that HIGHLY erotic. Typical emotes for me will span a minimum of 4 lines with maybe 100+ words in them, covering a wide gamut of details. It's a whole different beast than "mmmmmmmmmm".

That's also why I'm not all that into the animations themselves which frequently get in the way of the story rather than supplementing it. For the same reason, the prim parts and scripted sex (XCite) are of less interest to me.

hope that helps

I love stories and helping write a story. Though . . .(to be blunt or not) . . . I've become much better typer . . . with one hand now.

Though you may well remember just what you did while high.... ;3

Not really. Maybe later. Thanks for asking.

Thanks. And your answer also raises another question: have the people at Xcite ever experienced real sex (or should I say passion), given the extreme poverty of the responses built in to their 'equipment'?

Heh. I do not actually know what is built into their stuff. I guess I need to find out some time.

Why has nobody asked the obvious question?

Sooooo...Lindal....why exactly are you looking for poseballs? Is the lucky guy/gal someone we know?


Let's get this back to the important topic.

Lindal? Response?

(Lexxi - you aren't missing much - Xcite bits have a bunch of scripted responses when they are touched. It's a poor substitute for creativity. they are fun to play with because of the goof factor, but they tend to get ignored in the heat of the moment - or at least they should be.)

I wish we were allowed to gamble. I'd be taking action as soon as I figured out the odds. Let's see....A few guys here are openly in committed relationships or gay, so they are serious longshots. Hmmm...who's left? Dang, I need to calculate different odds for it being a woman. This is going to take some serious work, but since it involves gambling and sex, I'm the man for the job.


Leave it to Trout to uncover the real issue. :D
But this time, O Mighty Slayer of Fish, you're jumping to conclusions. I've got nobody special, and I'm unlikely to, either...although I do have a number of very dear, and intimate, friends. As it says in my Profile, I'm in a committed long term RL relationship, and not looking for anything in SL that would jeopardize that.

But my home is in need of, er, "furnishing" in order to accommodate any guest(s) that might drop in. It just seems the neighborly thing to do, in SL anyway.

As for the HUD option...well, one must be prepared for all eventualities, mustn't one?

Besides, there's always the chance that I might get my RL partner interested in Second Life. Now, THAT would be worth a pocketful of poseballs, wouldn't it? ;)

Oh the bits. He said equipment, so thought he meant something else (they have some boxes, and furniture and the like also). Yes, I've used the bits. Rarely, but I've tried them. Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, all you can do is move one finger on the mouse to hit one of the buttons on the pop-up menu.

Heh . . Well officer, I just have the flogging machine, the bondage bed and furniture, and the catnip for friends. If they wanted to use it. I don't use it myself, of course. Really, I don't officer.

Part of the fun is going with your partner to find said "fun devices." Not that I get to do that much in SL :(

Which can be edited to say more interesting things when you get to the 'can't use both hands to type anymore' phase. :p

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.

I had no idea. I smell a contest. Who can script their Xcite bits to say the funniest, most completely innapropriate thing?

OMG. This could be GOLD.

I suppose it would be ironic if this moment turned out to be the primary thing SL voice is used for ... after SL spent all that time and effort making it spatial, lol ... for this yahoo or skype are perfectly fine.

if one is staying in the land of the kybd, there are better engines for 1-finger emotes than xcite i think, xcite is SO intrusive. if i hadn't actually seen a picture of xcite's founder, i would have pegged him as a pimply shy 17-year old who couldn't think of anything to say in the sack ...

That sounds like a lot of fun :) I've already lost . . um . . my bits once, so I'm not going to participate (nor do I know how to change the script, or do anything with xcite . . so I mostly don't).

Flogging machine? I'm a flogging machine. I hate it when technology steals jobs from people!

Serously, where did you find a flogging machine? <evil grin>

Love.

I don't have xcite bits, but I would love them to be able to say "teach me teh sexies plz" and random "penguin!" or "crabs" or "pie!" and I expect the male bits to do Trout Jr.'s routine song.

I've seen many different types of spanking, tickling, flogging machines around, but I've never seen any that were for sale.
