What are your thoughts on this? How would this affect the economy? Would many people quit SL over this?

They've already been asked this so many times.

Here is their response:

"The Community Standards (avialble here:http://secondlife.com/corporate/cs.php) state: "Within Second Life, we want to support Residents in shaping their specific experiences and making their own choices."

Recognizing that not everyone will want to have the same experience in Second Life, we have designated Mature and PG-rated ares within the world, where various types of behavior are allowed."

How exactly could they manage to ban avatar sex? I am not being sarcastic, but in all seriousness. How is it even possible?

We have had avatar sex long before we could upload our own custom animations. Back in those days we just used stock LL poses and positioned them in a manner as to simulate apparent sex. Sure, the new animations are far better, but its always been here.

Not to mention that even if you took out the visual animations and made us all sit around on plywood boxes with ugly perma undies on, people would still have cyber sex in IMs.

So, utterly sidestepping the question of should they, I will say there is no realistic way they can, even if they wished to or "should".

As to the issues of "should they", I say what consenting adults do is their own business. I get tired of people trying to tell me how I have to behave or think or what my "morals" should be. I am an adult of 39 years, I think I am capable of deciding for my own self how to think, behave and what my "morals" are. I had a mommy, and I am a mommy...I don't need governments or businesses trying to mommy me.

It would kill SL if they tried to ban all adult activities. A very large part of the population would simply cash out, quit, and go elsewhere. That would be like removing all the adult content from Playboy or Penthouse magazines... You'd have nothing left but a few of the ads, and lots of empty space, and few people would pay for it.

SL was initially presented as an environment where adult interactions were perfectly acceptable. It's too late to change that now.

If some people want to see a G-rated grid, they will have to create a seperate grid just for that purpose. It might fly, but it would never be as popular as the main grid is right now.

If you want to live your Second Life in a monestary or convent, under a vow of chastity, feel free to set up a few private sims and have at it. I wish you the best of luck. But don't ask the rest of the world to get castrated, just to keep you company.
