After a while, it occurred to me that statistically speaking, the number of women I thought were really women could not be accurate. I always said if a man is good enough to fool me, I don’t care. It’s only fantasy, I won’t meet them. After all, SL is masturbation 2.0. I have been single a long time and before SL, I just took care of things alone. I liked what SL added.

I made it clear in SL I was not looking for a relationship. This crazy female avatar, with broken english and a strange personality declared us girlfriends. I make it a point in SL not to get attached. And I didn’t this time. But even though she was crazy, i did like her (or whoever it was i made her to be in my head). I knew it was possible she was a man. I had my suspicions.

Of course she turned out to be a guy and i found out when her friend told me out of guilt. i could have been more cautious but i wasnt, so i am not surprised this happened. i didnt like being lied to more than finding out i was with a dude.

Now I spend time with friends, putting on silly av’s and laughing, going to see live music, and exploring SL. i wouldnt fool around with anyone i didnt voice verify. i understand not everyone has the privacy for voice. if thats your situation, i understand but it means we will just be friends. your rl problems are not my sl problems.

I may lack the apearance of a female in RL, but hey so be it. Does this mean I am gay, no. Do I like guys for relationships, no. I am a lesbian, plain and simple, its who I am, its who I was born as. I believe my inner being is female, and anyone who laughs or argues this I laugh at. You cant tell someone who they are, or force someone to be what they are not. Believe me I have tried playing male toons time and time again and I cant do it, its not who I am.

As for sex in SL, yeah I admit I have been to xcite and keep my stuff upgraded regularly, do I ever use it, no. Why? Because I am so sick of virtual sex, theres nothing there. I play SL now for MY enjoyment, I shop, I dance, I socialize with friends, at times I build. I have fun, and thats whats important, if I didnt have fun and it felt like it was a job or something like that I wouldnt play.

PS..Again those that think they know it all and think that who I am is nothing more then a pervy guy wanting to see boobs, think again.

You mean the 7 foot tall brown unicorn i’ve been having Virtual sex with in SL, may not actually be a Unicorn in RL ?

I’m off to slit my wrists …

Learn something about furries before making yourself look stupid. I know you think EVERY furry has a fursuit and ony wants to have sex with it on, and that EVERY furry must be into animal sex… But that shows just how much you really know.

I have to agree. I am a furry, been in the fandom over 20 years in fact but never had any desire to have a fursuit at all. Fursuiting isn’t really that prevalent in the fandom at all to begin with. Most furries tend to consider fursuiters as oddballs and the thought of any sort of sex in a shapeless mascot costume one typically sees to be creepy and weird too. In the fursuiting community itself, most aren’t there for the supposed sexual kink so much as the cute and cuddly factor and/or the anonymous “act like a nut” with a costume on . Aside from that, spending upwards of $1500 for a quality fursuit means you don’t ruin it by getting body fluids and what have you on it.

This whole “furries fuck dogs” thing pisses me off. Furries. as a whole, tend to screw other furries. Just as a Trekkie nerd’s wet dream involves finding a partner that shares their love of all things Star Trek, furries desire a partner who shares their interest in “PEOPLE with animal attributes” not animals. The richest, most famous furry in the world who has been a male sexuallity icon in America for decades is Hugh Hefner. You know, Playboy BUNNIES, rabbit icon representing the company and who was inspired by a pin up painting by Petty of a sexy woman in a bunny costume to start his empire. Thinking Hef regularly screws rabbits is just as silly as thinking furries screw the pooch. Given that 13% of all males raised in rural areas have had sex with livestock, I’d say the rate of bestiality in the furry fandom is less than the general population simply because most furs are city raised.

Sorry, but that’s nonsense. What you have is a virtual relationship with the aspects of the other typist that they are projecting into SL – it’s a “real” relationship, but it’s simply different from what a relationship between the two typists would be without their projections into SL. Now, if you prefer not to have those kinds of “SL only” relationships, that’s fine, but coming in here and suggesting to everyone else that they are not possible for anyone to have (or even worse that they are not “legitimate”) reeks of both arrogance and ignorance in spades. Not only is your perspective needlessly constrained, but your projection of it onto everyone else is simply pathetic. Get over yourself.

“I’ve got plenty of friends in SL but I’d log off mid-conversation if any of my RL friends came to my house to kick it.”

Which is frankly rude. I also believe RL takes precedence, but if I am in the middle of a conversation with an SL friend, I will find a way to extricate myself from it if I need to without simply logging off immediately. The relationships are real – if you want to treat them like they are a plastic grocery bag, then you should expect to get treated that way in return. And certainly I’m glad that my own friends in SL don’t have attitudes like yours.

“I simply made a realistic SL name, filled in my profile with information that alluded to me being a Japanese girl living in Kobe, hit the freebie warehouse and related areas, and constructed a decent avatar.”

A Japanese girl? Good choice. I’ve noticed this weird fascination with Japanese shit on SL.

“I was hit on repeatedly at the freebie warehouse, completely out of the blue. It was funny but horribly sad. One guy even TPd me to his BDSM dungeon and wanted me to lock him in a cage.”

lmao! I gotta admit that this is funnier shit than I’ve ever pulled on SL. A winnar is you, sir. XD

“”There are no women on the internet” is the rule, but it isn’t literal. Women in a online community where other women are scarce tend not to make themselves known (for both TITS OR GTFO reasons, and the fact that women are more social toward other women than horny nerds).

In the meantime, try it. It beats fly fishing.”

I dunno if I could, mooty. Sometimes my kids walk in on me while I’m on SL. They can understand the cowboy, viking, biker, and cowboy/viking/biker combo getups I wear(they’ve come to accept that dad can be a silly bastard with a weird sense of humor). But explaining a femme av could be a lot harder especially to my youngest. *shrugs*

@Mark

Okay, whatever. But look at my above conversation with mootykips and reflect on it next time you’re out cybersexing. You could be his next trolling victim. lol!

Here’s the thing – I refuse to adhere to conformist meme/constructs. That’s all. I don’t let fear influence my opinions of others or my personal decisions. I don’t have this huge hang up that some folks have that somehow interacting with people through the internet as a medium needs to be compartmentalized. I see that as an illogical reaction born of little more than fear and drama mongering.

After you’re last post, I see that I may not have read you properly, so I am not labeling YOU personally in that above paragraph regarding the strict compartmentalization some people cling to as some sort of security blanket.

Lulz – cry me a river about ad hominem. Your opening post was nothing more than ad hominem against a whole segment of the SL populace.

*yawn*
