Don't go where you're not wanted

I think people are anti sex mainly becuase of the Tacky Excesses Sex clubs, etc go to.

some of the people who are here just for it will either leave (which is no great loss) or have to find something else to do (which can only be good for everyone).

I'm not anti-sex

after all, if the sex isn't so readily available, some of the people who are here just for it will either leave (which is no great loss) or have to find something else to do (which can only be good for everyone).

If only the media would cover some of the many other creative, useful, fun, wholesome things that go on in SL, then things would be a lot more enjoyable.

I respectfully suggest that if all you're here for is pixel sex, then you've really really missed the point of what SL is all about.

While true

In real life when I have inadvertantly seen a couple having sex in a Public place - I look away and go about my business.

Not everyone stares, cat calls, mocks or calls the police. Some people respect privacy and arent instantly offended to the point of exploding at seeing something natural like sex. For health reasons of course they shouldnt use public benches, etc. But thast a seperate issue from turning your head.

Most of the public sex Ive encountered was in parked cars in parking lots. Although I have seen it at a public park as well.

The Original Poster did say he was only cuddling with his girl, and wasnt happy he was intruded on.

It was him defending himself that led to his comments about sex.

It is true a lot of people like sex in SL. Its also true a lot of those same people like a lot of other activities. To say that playing house and having sex arent Big parts of SL is to be unrealisitc. Simulated Love makes MUCH of the SLworld go round.

Cole, you might not have gotten the usual suspects who always come out of the woodwork to tell the rest of us what SL is for and to try an foist their personal morality on us is for if you hadn't dipped your toes in that pond yourself first (I am referring to you saying what "SL is for". And don't orbit people! Under ANY circumstance. All it does is cause you to possibly get in trouble with LL and give this pack of forum addicted wolves more fresh meat to sink their fangs into. Try to calmly reason with the person, and that failing, try to contact the land owner. Beyond that, there's not much you can do but ignore them or move. I recommend ignoring, as it has been my experience that if you simply do not acknowledge an unwanted person's presence, they usually dry up and blow away sooner than later. They want a reaction, so do not oblige them or you're playing into their hand.

That said, what the hell is up with some of you? Do you read the posts at all? He said they were not having sex. Not only that, they were in a place created for just such romance.

Cuddling != sex.

Cuddling != an invitation for gawkers, in RL, SL or anywhere else.

Many of you have such tunnel vision when it comes to what you think SL "is for", and thats fine and that's your right, but damn it, you don't get to try and force that vision on everyone else. That's the very epitome of intolerance.

Stop worrying about what others are doing unless it directly affects yourself or other people in an adverse way. I'd hardly call a couple cuddling in a GROTTO MADE FOR ROMANCE an infringement upon your personal enjoyment of SL, unless you're an incurable busybody.

Some of you are one step away from sounding like 14 year olds when they first realise what sex is. "EWW HOW GROSSS!"

Grow up.

true Colette, i reread my post and forgot to put probably in there. and while yes Your point is valid also, but playing has it's place. maybe im being to conservative, but i wouldn't orbit someone for just standing there. did he whip out his prim? did he make any crude remarks? was he even paying attention to them?

my point is this, SL or RL, to expect privacy in a public area is laughable. to expect it in a simualted world is downright hilarious. yes manners play a key role. however in SL, manners in some seem to get checked at the door, and ones most boorish behavior comes out. so while my post was kinda harsh? its just my opinion.

He didnt pull out a tear gas gun and fire it into the boat

Probably cause you Maced HIM.........

While it's true we are all adults and we should therefore act like one, it's not typical adult behavior to go to a public place and have sex. That is very childish. Good luck with privacy in a public place, and welcome to SL.

A few years back - a friend's parents got run out of a park by a cop for having sex. They were in their late 50's.

"Maybe they came from Orientation island," someone wrote. Or maybe, "He didn't rezz properly," another wrote. Now I see why there's so much give and take on the op. Some of you either don't read the entire text or you're really bad at reading comprehension.

It was made clear in more then one post what and where this situation took place and had you read it or understood it you'd seen this intruder went out of his way to reach this couple. He didn't rezz at that place and he went out of his way which he had to do to get there to that very spot.

It's not too hard to understand this.

Yeah, I don't know where you've been IRL but I've had plenty of private moments on a park bench with "someone special" that were interrupted by people walking by making conversation. I didn't push them as hard as I could (eqivalent of orbiting). I was able to either convey the idea that we wanted to be alone or we left and found somewhere else.
