as soon as we figure out how to have ACTUAL sex in Second Life, instead of just simulated sex, you will have a good point.


Besides the fact that SL will totally, and I mean *totally* ROCK then, no matter how laggy it is.


Google the word "teledildonics." The possibility is not as far-fetched as you might think.

Gambling though it may be illegal in sl the skill based games are not and you cannot advertise a casino as a "casino" but Zyngo and nudger slots are back in force i personally own "Sky High Games" and all of our games are legal in sl because they do not use random scripts and are skill based so owning a "Games house" in sl is legal and can make money for you as long as you are smart about it and very selective on your games sl is just trying to make things fair to all that play and have enforced rules to do so

While the sex is virtual, the gambling is real.


Surprised you'd think so. I'm the one running the Identity and Intimacy survey, and I've been talking to and interviewing various residents on views about cyberlove and cybersex. Cybersex, when done right, seems to be one of the most emotional experiences you can have, and some residents have rated their experiences online more positively than those offline.

If sex is fundamentally an emotional, or meaningful act, then why can't it occur without physical contact?

So no random scripts, that means every gamed played has a winning combination every time. Sure! ;o)

(Now that THIS thread has been necro'd.... I might as well)

Did you really stop reading there? You're not helping yourself by ignoring the rest of my statement. (=_=)

From: me
The justification behind the prohibition of the sex trade in the U.S. is the potential for spreading S.T.D.s, human trafficking, abuse, rape, violence, and many other possible physical crimes.
The illegality of the RL sex trade is based on the potential PHYSICAL harm that can come to a person. (>_<;)

If you think you can be PHYSICALLY harmed by someone online, then yes, that totally justifies a carry-over of RL rules to the virtual world. (=_=)

But, otherwise, until you can reach across the internet and beat someone to a bloody pulp after raping him/her and refusing to pay; none of the RL laws applying to the "illegal" sex trade apply here. (=_=)y

....But online gambling is not virtual gambling. There is real money to be lost, real livelihoods to be destroyed, and to date prohibition is the "solution". (^_^)y
Yup, worked for alcohol and drugs - and ever since the ban on handguns in the UK, not a single person has been shot. With these new internet laws, gambling will be gone tomorrow. All we need are a couple tweaks and, presto, new improved Spray-A-Law (with extra whiteners) will wash all your troubles away.

cant do physical harm?
09-22-2009 05:34
you want physical harm..
to the men... what would you do if you came home from work to find your wife taking care of things to a virtual man.. and said they were better, they cared more about their needs?
to the ladies.. what would you do if you came home from work to find your man doing the same and they told you they were sexier than you, and did things you wont?
personally, i think a can of whup ass would be opened in both cases.
virtual sex can be very very "real" for some people. i know of a few cases personally where one person was about to leave their spouse for a virtual lover. in one case the virtual lover turned out to be of the same sex. that was a suprise to my friend. my wife and i have discussed it and feel that as long as there are no expectations (ie we both know its just a game) its all good. personally, i dont get anything out of it. if i want sex i ask my wife. besides, who wants a sticky keyboard?
