I think people who enjoy second life so much have a crappy first life. Go outside quickly before your muscle atrophy sets in.

The human body is so beautiful and should not be seen as a mere way to pleasure, but as art. These nude pieces of 'art' don't show anything bad. I don't think these people need a life either, Pamela Anderson posed her body for Playboy several times and she has quite a life. I don’t see why it’s such a big deal.

Dyerbrook; you are correct, however I have seen some dance interactions, basically all of the "self dance" interactions have been made in SL. Like Urizenus pointed out, duo interactions are now becoming more and more popular. And yes, sexual deviant ones are the most popular.

That is rapidly changing with the introduction of the new version. It's up to players to make the animations, so of course things like "doggy style" and blow jobs come first, but I'm seeing more and more social animations (hugs etc.) these days. A good script programmer could probably reproduce all the TSO social interractions in a couple weeks. Same point about the avatars and their poses. If its all vacuous looking it's because they were made that way and posed that way. Now my avi is one deep looking d00d... DB on reports of: “no social animations.”

I have ALWAYS thought the SL avatars were vacuous looking, and for some reason I can't pinpoint, the females look more so to me than the males. The fact that they now appear vacuous in a girlie magazine is just kind of ironic to me, as if they had finally found their perfect mileau. "There" avatars have always seemed only slightly less vacuous-looking to me, but they are also too young-looking, somehow, and often too idiotically cheerful. TSO avatars, by contrast, seem to me more purposeful-looking and intelligent in their features. But that's just me. My husband looked at them and said, hey, don't their faces ever move? As for the girlie magazine itself, I think it is extremely clever. I love that you can have publications in SL. And if you are going to buy into any of the virtuality of anything in any game, then you can buy into the virtual reality of a girlie magazine just as well. Although the things like Wizard of Oz are intriguing, and I would definitely enjoy seeing them (and making them), I prefer the crisp clarity of TSO graphics, and I would hate to give up my interactions with people and things. I also like that in TSO nearly every object has some sort of interactive ability, which gives more life to a simulation, as opposed to "There." I like my stuff to be very realistic-looking (and behaving). coco Well, I need to explain a bit here.

You can't hug, kiss, fly-hug, compliment, cheer-up, and do all those other things. A friend told me about being greeted by some avatar with a giant outsized cock that knocked him over. But that avatar able to give a kiss, let alone a hot-kiss? Maybe SL has all kinds of pretty things you can program into it, like girls with white skin and fangs and everything we see in this SL stroke book. But can you jitterbug? I'd like to hear a definitive answer to that. I find SL denizens evasive on this issue. They tell you they have programmed dance pillow or hug pillows or this or that. But I'd like to know if there is a ready-made, accessible menu of social interactions so that you can do other than just engage in entertainment and spectacle, but you can reach out and touch someone.

You can never whip a person online in the virtual world, and you should know that by now. As for not talking to you actual "slave," I stand by my position: I don't encourage people to feel demeaned, and don't join in the charade of their humiliation, by joining in conversation with them as they refer to themselves in the third person, and engage in all the other BDSM antics. I don't participate. When something evil cannot be stopped, there is always this: you can not give it legitimacy. Witholding legitimacy is a powerful tool. Once again, I don't recognize slavery or violence and I don't recognize your dominion or your subjects.
