Two of them, on different continents, on the same sim, in poseballs and IM windows… So anonymous to each other, yet being so close and sharing so much. Because sex, even in this funny and weird form called cybersex, is very close and very personal thing two people can do. Let's suppose that this is not their first and surely not the last night. And let's suppose that they are not really interested in their human's data. It is just two of them, avatars.
They know that behind those two good looking avatars can be whoever. Big fat truck driver named Bubu is a usual suspect in many jokes. So let it be. Bubu is actually a lesbian that can twist your mind, make you smiling and laughing, make you wanting her more, take you to the peaks of pleasure.
But there is not enough big fat truck drivers registered in second life so we can safely bet on all the other professions, ages, continents, lifestyles. Clerks, housewives, soldiers, politicians, rock stars, teachers, students… You can take any photo from the pool of millions of Internet users. And many of those, many many of those are probably not somebody you are sexually interested in when you look at that picture. But there are a few whose minds you love with the whole of your heart.
When you strip all the gender, age, race, social class, color of eyes, geography, size of breasts, when it is just you, standing naked on the grid with somebody just stripped as you are… there is something religious or spiritual in realizing how all those people we meet on the streets, all those not attractive strangers are sexual beings with fantasies that flows so good with ours. There is something divine in our naughty thoughts, something very personal but not connected to the person's face. A spark of personality that shines over our smiles no matter how many oceans is between us.
