Are sex slaves legal?

Because it's a silly topic.

Uh-huh. Thanks for at least abiding by the forum rules.

How is this silly? There was an official blog post on it. It is one of the main reasons that LL is pushing to implement age verification...call that silly if you must.

Trout's an ordained minister. Can I confess to him?

Wanted to answer something, but after reading all the posts in the thread... bah.

Will just say that if it's sex between adults (+1 and they both want to, it's ok. If you have SL sex with somebody that's more than 18 but with a child avi... sucks, will report that, don't think it's something nice to do cause that's a serious prob in RL. Furries? Well, there's a person at the other side.

Why do ppl prostitute in SL?
· It's one of the easiest ways to earn lindens in SL.
· You can do what you want because it's SL.
· It can be funny (or not).
· It lets you do something you wouldn't do in RL (or yep, up to each person).
· THEY LIKE IT. Cause yep, there are lots of prostitutes (male and female and in SL as in RL) that do it cause they enjoy it.


In SL? If you don't want to you just have to leave (also sex slaves) or stop doing it.

That's all, you choose.


And nope, I'm not joining the poll. Don't like the options.

The Lindens never said anything about escorts, sex slaves, or furry sex...the last of which I see you've charmingly lumped in with child sex. Gambling and child pornography (real or simulated) are forbidden. That is all.

Bobby30 if you really are a SL Mentor Coach you should be immediately removed from the position. The questions you ask and the statements you make are pretty strange for someone in your position. Or maybe LL is just handing out the titles without much research (if it is even an official title).

Linden Labs doesn't make rules to enforce moral standards. The more rules there are to enforce, the more staff that need to be hired to enforce it, and more staff means spending more money. Conversely, the large number of people who use Second Life to play out their fantasies brings in money to Linden Labs.

The prohibition against gambling was not a morality decision. It was a reaction to an F.B.I. investigation in relation to federal rules clearly outlawing interstate gambling. The prohibition against pretend sex with minors was not a morality decision. It was a reaction to, if I remember correctly, several investigations by European law enforcement in relation to laws clearly prohibition digital depiction of minors in sexual activity.

To get Linden Labs to prohibit something else that would reduce its user base or income, two conditions would be necessary. One, there would have to be a law against the activity in a jurisdiction that Linden Labs cares about. Two, there would have to be some sort of law enforcement agency leaning on them, or a lawsuit pending.

Of course, there is a blanket prohibition regarding doing anything that violates a law where you live. Most, if not all, states in the U.S.A. have their statutes online, and federal statutes are online.

Agreed. I'd hate to meet up with a judgemental Mentor if I had some basic questions about sex. If I was a furry, what would he tell me? "Sorry, that's just disgusting, I can't answer that question." If I wanted to be an escort, would I hear "Prostitution is illegal in the US so you shouldn't do it regardless of LL's position?"

Fresh coconut creme pie to Lindal Kidd, for being the first to recognize this troll. Well done!

50 $Lindens you say.............snorts in derision.

Now........if you could make it 60$Lindens.......starts loosening his belt.

Hi Orfeu!

/me waves to Orfeu.

only in my apt.

You rang?

Although the RL sex/slave trade is illegal and perhaps damaging, it is nothing compared to the tragic incidence of RL auto accidents. And yet, vehicles in SL are not required to have side-curtain airbags. In fact, most don't even have seatbelts, nor pass NHTSA crash tests. Surely before we worry about the subtleties of prostitution, we must remedy this much more heartbreaking violation of RL laws.

Hello Miss Tempel.

For you............. 100,000 $Lindens.

I know it aint much......but it is all I can afford.

I disagree. It would make for great television to watch police setting up sting operations to catch Second Life prostitutes. The virtual airbag issue does not have the same television appeal.

yes mentor coach is a real title, but not in world to see if this person is indeed a mentor

(I myself am a mentor and a mentor coach)

a mentor coach is a mentor who helps assist new mentors as they learn the ropes
