Hey, is that AMAZING, or WHAT???? I mean, here we were led to believe by Urizen and the Media that TSO was *all about* "cyber-brothels". Well...where are they? Where are the testimonies? Where are the people coming forward to describe how they experiencd this in the game? Why is the silence thundering????

This goes for whoring too. A lot of people enjoy it. But a problem I've had, and a few other people that I've talked to have had, is that AV for some reason, more than any other city (perhaps because it is the most crowded) is so much about sex that it is hard to meet someone and just have a nice conversation without being expected to cyber. Maybe that is a little off-topic, but it seems related so I thought I would say. <br /> I also had a completely on-topic conversation with an old roommate who wanted to turn the house in to a 'place of ill repute' as it were. I asked, why would someone pay for something they could so readily get for free in so many other places in AV? Their reponse was that 'only the kids do it for free'. I found that kinda disturbing, I gotta say.
