From: Lupus Delacroix oops and as a serious answer to your question, dogs have more sensative noses/ears et al than humans do, they can smell the rain ; ) Oh YAY , it * is * cloudy outside so that might explain it. On the downside though I was kinda hoping to get it a big sequin hat and a 1-900 hotine  BACK TO AVATAR SEX ! Um.. it cracks me up to be honest but i dont think many people in this game can say they haven't clicked a pose ball at least one time if to do nothing else than laugh. To each their own and how people spend their own time is none of anyoens business. ( I just wish most ppl agreed with that and would mute their talking weenies :| ) |

i can say that i agree with Zoe on page 1. To ban av sex would just mean banning animations in general. i love being able to create my own poses (still new to doing them) but not having the ability to upload ur own poses/animations would basically make sl look a little dull. that means we would have to go back to all the default animations. the duck newbie walk etc. i can say no i do not use the "sex balls" but this is a mature game so we should be able to do as pleased as long as its within the tos.

From: Carmo Camus What are your thoughts on this? How would this affect the economy? Would many people quit SL over this? Allow me to pull the veil away from the topic of 'avatar sex' or 'cybering' or whatever you want to call it: It isn't sex. Too often people approach the topic as if it were actual sex. What it boils down to, it two (presumed) adults talking about sex. We can mix it up and add animations and graphical representations of genitals, but at the end of the day, it isn't sex. Period. So, to make this poll more accurate: Should LL ban (presumed) adults talking about sex? I for one would pack up my sim and cancel my account the same day LL tells us we can't talk about an idea. |

lol.....same here actually.
Seriously though I believe there shouldn't be anything banned. If someone doesn't like what's going on in a certain area they should go somewhere else. Fair enough to put a couple of restrictions say in the welcome area so save people getting the wrong idea about SL but that's about all there should be. Geez first night I was in SL I got laid. I thought it was some big online sex game at first. I wish it was as easy to get laid in RL as it is in SL.
As it's been pointed out many times to ban AV sex is to ban animations altogether. They wont do it. They'd be mad. SL is too much of a free world and that's its appeal.

Ban sex in SL? That would be almost as bad as allowing stealing in SL.

I'm not in SL to engage in sex (then again it might be interesting to do so) but I still have to raise an eyebrow regarding the poll.
That's because in the first place, it's impossible to ban avsex without killing animations, gestures, avatar movement, and chat. ALL those have to be shut down if avsex will ever be stopped. If those are stopped who'll stay? No one can move, no one can dance, no one can talk.
I respecfully toss this question to the OP: Assuming LL were to ban avsex, how can it be implemented without adversely affecting other important SL features?
