You wouldn't believe how Help Islands in Second Life™ look these days. Once again, newspapers made a "breaking" story about a guy who cheated on his RL wife and SL partner with another avatar while the wife was chasing orcs in WoW.

Moral of the story was, as it seems, go to second life and get some sex. So the hundreds of same looking avatars fall from non-existence down on the Grid and make me think what is in their heads? (more…)

Alicia Chenaux started this train of thoughts asking why the guys in second life are (almost) always going after blinging bimbos with oiled skins, big boobs and short skirts. Answer seems to be easy, those guys are after quick cybersex, the version of it that relies more on pixels and animations than on exchange of ideas and phantasies. And so are bimbos with oiled skins. And they are communicating that message very well. But there is the rest of us, so where is the problem? (more…)

This night, while I was walking a fairly long walk through the city, I walked the fairly long walk through the history of my partners, relationships and the rest of emotional/sex life in this parallel universe.

All the personal big names, then those that made an impact, those that I've learned from and those that I taught something, the guy with who I had a perfect one night stand for which I considered chances are bloody close to zero… even those whose names have never gotten into my contact cards folder… (more…)

As sex in its original form, the meatspace version, brings many dangers like STD's and unwanted pregnancy, it seems that cybersex is a care-free activity. One cannot catch a deadly virus while playing with poseballs, and pregnancy is an option in second life only if you're willing to play it with a prim tummy. But there are other dangers. (more…)

I've spent last couple of nights in a nice and vibrant place called Red Light District. Pretty little town square with a fountain, some shops, a church and, you guess, a lot of escorts. I am not sure if escorting is the oldest occupation of second life but one of the most active it surely is. And one that can give you a nice dose of surprises and questions as well. (more…)

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.

How does your human deal with all your whips, collars, naughty clothes, sculpted furry genitals and other attachments, stilettos, contact cards of people with maybe weird sense of fun, notecards full of drama, snapshots that you hope never were copyable… and all the other things stuffed in the folder, probably one of the rare of yours that is tidy and sorted? The drawer with silks and stockings and underwear. And a box and an envelope. The drawer we put a drop of incense in. (more…)
