Yeah, but you are a guy.
;)

The vast majority of women still define an emotional involvement as being crucial to good sex, though the intensity and level of the emotional involvement can vary. But, totally random sex with a complete stranger is seldom very fulfilling to most women.


Yes, there was a lot of generalization in all of that, but also a high percentage of truth.
I'll summarise: Women need a reason to do it; men just need a place. ;)

Lessie, have you been reading the forum long? Pep didn't single out your thread. He does this to lots of the threads. Don't feel picked on, just ignore...he does this in lots of threads that 3Ring isn't even in.
She's been around these forums longer than you have Treasure.

Well, I've found one or two men, good friends, who enjoy dancing with me, and who also don't take advantage,
So much of this is really about self-control.


Two men? "Good friends"? "Don;t take advantage"? You ever think they may be gay?
You and your dancing!
No, babe you need soem lessons in man-control. You need some love-glue-gunning baby.
I used to grab them at mahulu infohub. That's how I met hal. Sheltering in a corner. I yelled at him and it was love at first sight.

the real danger when dancing is ME: I can sometimes get far more flirtatious than is really wise . . . or fair, for that matter, to my partner.

So much of this is really about self-control.


In best SNL voice:

Scylla, you slut, those poor men facing a ravenous demonic female all revved up with barry manilow songs on the dance floor.

Well, I'm pretty sure not. But it wouldn't matter if they were. In any case, most of the gays I know are MUCH better dancers than the straights.

No I don't! If I didn't already have some skills in "man-control," I'd probably have carpal tunnel syndrome by now, and need a new keyboard.

Pep,

YOU started this. This was your first post in this thread:

From: Pserendipity Daniels
It's easy enough Lessie. You keep saying that you don't want anything to do with it and then you change your mind.

Pep (If you are female, that is. :rolleyes: )

PS And desperate.


Three separate insults, with my name on it. It took me several hours after Lil's comment to realize that this wasn't directed at me, but at 3Ring.

You can dance all around it if you like, but you can't change that fact.

I was not insulting you or lying when I called you a bully. I was simply describing.

When I made my diagnosis of your sexual frustration toward 3Ring, I was not being flippant. I don't think there is any other explanation for your obvious anger toward her which you vent at every opportunity -- for example, in your inappropriate first post to this thread.

Lessie....I'm sorry about contributing to the "distraction." It will take forever to get it closed, btw.

I'm not part of the group you are addressing your question to, and not sure if I'm reading it correctly....maybe reading too much into it.....but you asked "How do you do it?" Refrain from getting emotionally involved, that is?

Are you asking "How" because you can't refrain? I mean, if you just want to go about refraining and feel strongly about it....you just do it, and there is no "how." But if you think you can't refrain and want advice on how to control that.....I don't think another person can tell you how to do that....you do that on your own, with your own vices.

I think those that get emotionally involved....might have a friends list full of people who tend to as well.....you tend to surround yourself with "like-minded".....so if you need to take a breather....might be hard to make those people understand enough to give you space, and not razz you about it. I had a huge problem during a break, when some would razz me almost every day, almost as if it were a challenge. If that's the case....you just hang around some other styles for a while.

There's nothing wrong with getting emotionally involved, as long as you keep your heart safe. Anyone who suggests that is a sign of weakness, is missing out on a lot of living. And there's nothing wrong with making an effort to avoid it.....then slipping up, and changing your mind....good grief....save all that self control stress for RL, and have some fun here. :)


The reason I posted the question is that after a inworld relationship came apart recently, I began to question my reasons for being in SL. My friends inworld, who are very supportive, expect me to get over it, move on, meet a new guy eventually.

While I think I've gotten over the relationship, I'm still questioning what I'm doing here.

Up to now, I've been gratifying my desires, finding ways to do things inworld that I can't easily do in real life.

It doesn't seem like a good idea any more.

However, I'm at a loss as to what to do instead. I've been going to different places, but the same things always happen.

It's difficult to think of what to do instead of what I've been doing, but it's clear that the first step is to quit hooking up with other people in that way.

This probably isn't the best place to do the sort of thinking out loud that I want and need to do, but I didn't know where else to go.

In spite of the drama, I have gotten some good ideas and encouragement. It was worth the trouble.

As with many other over-emotional participants here, you take things overly personally it seems. You ask a question in a public arena, then assume that when you get a "you" in a response it applies to you specifically, as opposed to a generalised opinion - albeit one that nevertheless has widespread relevance, and which you must have felt was appropriate to your situation, but which you didn't want to be. If you are unable to cope with these reflections why do you instigate them? I would have thought that your previous experience would have deterred you from entering the melee again. Or is it like childbirth and the pain recedes? ;)

You are entitled to your opinion. Calling me a bully when you ask for an opinion and don't like it is once again your problem not mine. I didn't feel insulted by your transference of your problem to me, but by your laughable suggestion that I could feel any sort of attraction for someone like 3Ring. :eek:

Just because you are intellectually limited and emotionally disposed to a single explanation which would support your skewed view of my exposition of the inadequacies of relationships here, does not mean that other more cogent explanations exist for my antipathy towards posters here, which encourage me to illuminate the inaccuracies of their views for the benefit of others, rather than allow, for example, the impressionable to assume that someone with 10,000 "me too" posts has something valid or interesting to say. :p

Pep (I would recommend that you take time out from the forums and inworld until your emotions stabilise sufficiently to enable you to approach your problems coherently.)

It is fairly apparent that your underlying problem lies in the second sentence of your first paragraph.

Pep (Perhaps you should find some new friends who have less limited views of what sl is about? :rolleyes: )

I dunno who Lessie is but she sure does have Pep figured out. (Not that it is that hard to do.) Everything she said about him is right on the money. Just too bad that this had to become yet another Pep is a frustrated, pathetic dickhead thread. People should be able to come here for advise without having to be subjected to the forum bottom-dweller's obsessions and agendas.

It hasn't. It was a desperately over-emotional thread from the original post.

She does, it isn't, it is, it has, and whatever. We can do this all day.

The funny part is... for the most part i have lost interest in this forum. if you would just stop with constant bashing of me my girl I probably wouldn't be posting. So STFU.

Lessie.....a lot of people come here do things that they can't do in real life. Nothing wrong with that, unless it's counterproductive to your real life. Questioning what you're doing here is a good thing. Makes you think. If during that thinking process, I find that something I'm doing here has a negative impact on RL....then I change it up or take a break. Sounds like you have a grip on that.

This isn't a bad place at all to think out loud. Just put Pep on Ignore. Click on his name....look to your upper right....and "add to ignore list."

I've been in SL for over a year and have done a lot of different things, but one constant is that it is difficult to not end up emotionally involved with somebody.

"Emotionally" ... yeah I do mean sex but not only.

I've met people who don't get involved and don't have pixel sex. I used to think it was strange, but lately I've been wanting to be that way too.

This is going to sound really stupid, but I don't care: I want to know how do you do it? What do you do?

It's easy to SAY to not do something or other, not respond, but I'm a social creature. I like people.

I would like to hear from people who are active in SL who don't do sex, who don't have boyfriends or girlfriends or lovers or whatever.
You asked a very odd question. The reason why some people don't do SL sex is because they don't want to do it. And people tend not to do what they don't want to do. It's as simple as that. It's no different to anything else. Some poeple enjoy exploring SL, for instance, and others don't. Those who enjoy it, do it, and vice versa.

I used to enjoy SL sex, but I grew out of it a very long time ago and it hasn't interested me since then. There's no secret - just do or don't do what you want to do or not do.

Nothing wrong with that, that is pretty much what I use SL for. Romantic relationships and comitments are things I prefer to keep in RL. You do have to exercise caution, but it can be done. I try to keep my intentions clear to anyone I meet, and keep watch for signs that things may be headed where I don't want. I've had a few bumps along the way, but it's been fairly smooth for awhile now. But there is the possibility that you can't deal with the pitfalls in SL regarding affairs of the heart, and that is fine too. If you do have to walk away, don't worry about it.
