Ok, so I've been playing around on Second Life
and like it has been all I can think about lately because the more you learn how to do things in it you become like this mad scientist wanting to experiment and explore the possibilities. So with that spirit I did a little research via Google and well let me tell ya - there are a number of things to do in SL - sex being one.

I will confess I am not a virgin in SL anymore, now before you call me a SL whore - I just had to see for myself what it was all about - and I haven't even scratched the surface on the topic (we will leave that for another blog entry). Sex and video games is not a new thing - I remember years ago a computer game Leisure Suit Larry - the colonic scene is forever burnt into my brain like the screen saver would do to a monitor back in the day. So nothing is too new with sex and video games but what is that I have found new are technologies not so far away that help "how we do it" in video games or platforms such as SL.

Let me go back to my sex encounter in SL - I went to a "destination" and basically within a few nano-seconds of my teleport and a couple of lines of small talk with another resident we were shagging on some sex furniture I'd never seen or imagined in real life. My SL partner (who was a stranger) was very accommodating in showing me around and explaining what things do. Very educational, very amusing, and totally hilarious - I couldn't believe my eyes and I was laughing uncontrollably during the whole time. In real life this would have killed the mood - no doubt.

Now to some there are a number of issues having "virtual sex" or sex on-line in this manner and while I won't go into all the details or bring up the moral implications of such behavior from what I have read. I took my experience for what it was - my avatar getting her groove on - nothing more. I was curious, I wanted to see what it was all about - I mean I am in the sex business it's what I do. Well, it turns out there is this pose ball or object that has script attached to it that animates your avatar. The coolest thing about it is that you have these options of positions and what not to select - sex has never been so simple and direct, just pick and choose.
So like I am thinking... cool, I want a pose ball in my real life.

I imagine the scene....

Husband says, "what's in the box?"
Me "it's a pose ball"
Husband "a what ball?"
Me "a pose ball, I bought it last week. It was a steal at $1,000,000,000,000 Linden Dollars, you'll see"
Husband "oooh great more SL stuff, honey you are addicted. I think you like SL better than you like me and the kids. babe, we miss you"
Me "ha ha , funny dear. it's cool, you use it to have sex. think of it as R&D"
Husband "huh, wha...?"
Me [taking the ball out and thinking where to place it] "this will be fun - trust me. Ok, all you have to do is pick what you want, requesting sex acts has never been so easy!! This is the latest thing in sex toys - cool huh?"
Husband [looking confused] "yeah - um...sure. whatever you say dear"
Me [showing the menu of options] "see you just pick what you want and just like magic we will have sex in positions we have never heard of or can physically do til now - this is great huh?"
Husband [looking uneasy] "I think I'll let you try it out first"

...back to reality

I am just amazed at technology and sex especially when I becomes intertwined or collides. Sex robots are not too far away in the future and toys that users can control via their computer are becoming better - very interesting stuff if you ask me. Makes the real deal in real life all more special, very intimate and I can appreciate it more with this view.

One thing about virtual life is it doesn't have the same implications like real life can - I can't get my avatar pregnant or contract a disease - or can I? There is some food for thought, hmmm. I think first and foremost it is easier to have virtual sex in the virtual world. With real world sex people have a hard time talking to their partners about sex.

Real and virtual sex is exciting and I find is always a learning experience - I mean the possibilities are limitless of what you can create or do. The pose ball has inspired me in my real life - mainly, I think in part of it's direct approach, there are no limits (if you can write a script for it anything is possible) and it is so darn user friendly - the way a sexual encounter should be when you love the one your with.

Here are some interesting things that fit with this post...
