“It’s an entirely open-ended experience.” “There is no manufactured conflict, no set objective,” says spokesperson Catherine Smith. Linden Lab, the company that created the platform that is Second Life, is emphatic that their creation is not a game. The term “3-D online virtual world” doesn’t roll off the tongue as easily as the term “game.” And it’s a whole lot harder to get in a headline.
SEX IN SECOND LIFE HOW TO
Or swingers have moved into your neighborhood.The mainstream press has struggled with how to characterize Second Life. In most of her opinions in this area I think she is right. She grips about the exaggeration every chance she gets. People writing about SL definitely write more about sex and exaggerate. But, I think most indicators are there is less sex in SL than than there is talk about it. These are all empirical measures and not accurate or complete. If you look at the Tech and Creation sections of this forum, you'll find those sections are way more active than the Adult sections of the forum. If you search for SL blogs you'll find the fashion blogs WAY out number the sex-in-SL related blogs. If you attend some of the Linden run user group meetings you'll from 20 to 40 people in the meeting that are about building. The numbers for none sex related items way exceed those for sex. But, if you look at the marketplace, search on sex and sex related terms and then look at the number of items found you can compare them to other searches. We have no hard numbers for how many are creating things or how many are here to hook up.
I live in Zinda, the adult continent, and traveling down the streets and flying around it isn't much different than the G mainland. If you hang out in noob areas, you are constantly bombarded by annoying users and often nude, rude, crude avatars.Įven with Adult settings enabled avoiding adult content is easy. Once you open up Adult content acceptable you can be inundated with Adult stuff. (There's also a lot of Linden-created content, so look at it too.) I was flying around the Horizons regions yesterday, looking at what people have built there in just the last 6 months. In fact, there is an incredible amount of creative building going on in Zindra, and now in Horizons. Don't write off the Adult regions, by the way. I suggest using your Destination Guide to start sampling interesting places. You'll find a lot of discussion about that in these pages. Residents who can only make prim items are being left behind. The flip side of that is that it's harder for someone who doesn't know how to handle the tools for making mesh and texturing with materials. The quality of user-created stuff has improved dramatically in the past 5 years. I might argue that it has become even more about creativity since the Lab made it possible for residents to upload their own mesh objects, and then introduced materials support. SL has also always been about creativity. As long as you were over 18 in RL, all you had to do was click on a couple of buttons in a web site to get access.
True, in the "good old days" it was slightly more difficult to get into Adult regions than it is now, but ir was never hard. For some people, SL has always been about sex.
