Xcite, Please SHUT UP!

Is that hair gel ?

Great! Now in addition to hearing those great sounds, we get to duck globs of that icky stuff flying through the air?

LMFAO

Ahh, the good old days of chatting over excite pal!

Ah the humour value, I think this thread is a 4/5 now in quality. ^.^

I never got the point of automated messages for sex toys to tell you when you're doing a good job. It seems to me that should be up to both parties. I mean, you're trying to stimulate your partner through text, the least you could do is type something out yourself in an attempt to be romantic and/or sexy. No one's telling you to write an epic novella, just some tantalizing string of words. >/

As for the sex online thing, this harkens back to the olden days of 'talk' on unix between the nerds of several universities who managed to get their girl friends (Gasp! Nerds with girls!) to join their computer classes. Sometimes it's borne of necessity with long distance relationships, I've met a couple who exchange dirty words online while he (a trucker) is off on business. Who's to say how others enjoy sex, do you berate people who are into bondage in real life simply because you don't like it?


Back on the track of Xcite shutting up, I'm rather surprised that it doesn't just use llInstantMessage to communicate with the clicker. I mean, you're not going to be feeding so many commands in such a short period of time that they'll climax in under three seconds, so why does the slight delay of sending an instant message matter?

Bwahaha!! this is comedy!!

Alternatively, you could have fun by adding your own rhyming responses:
Randy Avatar's cock is lightly aroused
*you say* George Flan's kippers are lightly soused
Sexy Avatar's nipples are roughly kissed
*you say* I tried to spit in the bin and narrowly missed
Randy Avatar's cock is lightly stroked
*you say* I'm eating my tea and nearly choked

I am wit Lash on this on...a new hobby....lmfao

lmfao...lash..we should meet up and play this game...hahahaha

There was a time...
Lonnnng before Peckers and Poser, that an "Invisicube" was the hottest prim in town.
(I still have one in inventory)

Those were the days...you couldn't swing a cat by its tail without hitting some poor nakie soul falling off a 10 X 10 platform from 300m up. If only avies could blush *g*

As far as wanking at "Pixeldolls"...I've found a better spot...Phobos!
(Dont tell Surreal and Ferran, I am down to my last alt)

And Flip was right...

This WILL end badly!

We had two women who lived near my house that loved to use Xcite toys. We termed them the "Moaners" for -- well, obvious reasons.

Thankfully, they kept them either on whisper or say mode. But we could still hear the sounds...

I swear to god, these two SLers would KEEP CLICKING THEIR BITS OVER AND OVER, so it was like the same 3-second "oh yes baby oh YES!" on endless loop.

Mmm, sexy.

I miss that. It added a whole different element of interest to the world.

Sfunny, but while I agree that talking cocks/clits are a lazy, uncreative, one-handed way of cybering, if you check out the getxcite website, they are claiming 5000 customers. Something makes me think that while some people post, others participate.

Incidentally, if you assume that a complete xcite set costs 1500 lindens, then 5000 customers = 7.5 million lindens. Even at today's hyperinflation exchange rate of 286 that = $26,000. It's not Anshe Chung money, but it's enough to get any capitalist's muscles bunching.

OMG does this mean that we're going to see a slough of escorts willing to do facials posting in the help wanted forums. Ewwwww!

lol 5000 customers Xd i don't belive that a second ^^

1000 maybe

that's the claim: http://www.getxcite.com/partner.html

Assuming 3-4 parts for females, 1 part for males, if you count each seperate purchase as 1 customer, then sure. Otherwise I don't see 5k customers.

I dunno, maybe it's because I'm a Londoner that I have a sensitivity to puns, but I can't believe no one responded to this:


LOL! This takes me in so many comic directions at once I become incoherent. Many come with ludicrous animations...I have to say this is where the Xcite one does make everyone look like a creepy uncle having an epileptic fit in a firework display. I have a mind that is as open as can be, but I think that animation should come with a dirty raincoat and nurse.


Well...I do both. I love exploring SL, but the really interesting thing is what you learn about yourself and other people, not just the medium.

And it's fun! You can't get pregnant! You don't have to deal with halitosis! You don't have to wash his socks! You don't need a box of tissues! Oh ok, boys, maybe *you* do....

well lucky enough now you can get pregnant in sl

more like two items for men (usually lips), maybe three (to overcome certain refractory period challenges)

and then there's all the other stuff xcite sells. I've not been a customer of the animal genitalia part of the store, but thinking about the number of furries in sl....

I bet Linden Labs is hoping that Nyteshade and Javier will*not* become the richest people in sl: for some reason property development is more acceptable public relations. There should be more competition of course (sorry Imagoel, yours aren't as good (though they are a lot cheaper))

LOL...each to his own. I get most stuff in SL, but I don't get this at all. Gave up baby dolls when I was 12. That's not to say that I have an opinion on other people enjoying this sort of role play, I think they should be free to be as weird as they like.

If these talking parts makes them "happy" why does it bother the rest of you? The motto of SL is "Your World, Your Imagination". Having talking parts is mostly harmless. They will not pass STD's or risk pregency. Some people could be disfunctional in RL for different reasons. This could be the only way for them to have a "meaningful" encounter with another.

it bothers me because it fills up the chat, and makes me have to mute someone's piece while trying to have a conversation or do something else.

and if clicking instead of speaking is meaningful, then i've this whole thoughtful communication thing all wrong.

my suggestion for javier: make it silent by default. assume people can't figure out how to configure it.

Greetings, all!

We do listen to our customers and to the community and will be shipping future items to use 'whisper' by default, which I believe should limit the range of the emanations to 10 meters and make it far easier for people to move out of range of sexual situations they'd rather not overhear.

While we appreciate the ideas floating around in this thread, we cannot silence the items completely, as that would sacrifice the fun of a lot of people who enjoy these devices. As for IMs to the two people involved, the real problem with that is that it would eliminate a lot of potential fun situations such as voyeurism, threesomes, orgies, etc, because we'd have no real idea who to send the IMs to.

As always, we are open to ideas and suggestions and the SL community has always had a great deal of input into our product line. Thank you for the comments!

- Javier, Xcite!
