Hello!
My name is Marik Xavier-Brier. I am a graduate student at San Francisco State University in the Sexuality Studies Department. I am conducting research on sex and sexuality in Second Life. I am conducting interviews among avatars and I am calling for participants who are 18 years or older, identify their avatar as a gay male, are frequent residents (at least 4 hours a week), and enjoy having sex in-world.
The purpose of this study is to examine how people experience and express their sexuality in virtual environments. The goal of the project is to gain a better understanding of the experiences of residents, as well as how virtual environments and communities are formed and interact. Participation in this research is an interview that will last approximately 45-60 minutes.
If you have any questions or would like to participate in the research, you may contact my avatar, Marik Crumb or via email at [email]secondlifestudy.sfsu@gmail.com[/email]
Thank you,
Marik Xavier-Brier
