In the Pink

2008-03-08T09:03:00.001-08:00

Today and tomorrow in Second Life will feature productions of "In the Pink", a live theatre piece in Second Life featuring writings and performances of Second Life women.

From the official program:
"'In the Pink celebrates the strength of women, exploring sexuality and what it means to be a woman in real life and on Second Life.

This original presentation is affiliated with the 10th year anniversary of V-day, who raise funds for campaigns to end violence against women all over the world."

Performances are today and tomorrow in Second Life, and I'm promoting this for several reasons. As you know, I'm a strong believer in being open about your sexuality and ending violence against women is a no-brainer. This performance is just another example of ways that we can use this technology to bring talents and viewpoints from women all over the world and have it put together into this amazing production that so many people have worked countless hours to create.

I also wrote a piece for the production that will be performed in Part 2, so show up today in Ivy Falls.. donate.. and listen to what all of these women have to say.

Thanks, lovelies..

sex toys = beautiful things

2008-02-22T11:30:00.000-08:00

I'm still alive. I know I've not been as chatty as usual, but that offline world has sucked me in lately with a new job, new responsibilities, projects to plan and lots to learn. It's all good though, so it's ok.. just means that lately I've had less time to speak to all of you. I still love you though, I promise.

To show how much I love you, I'm going to tell all of you girls a secret. You boys can know this too.. it won't help you directly but it's good to know in case you want to tell your girlfriends, wives, or whatever else you've got goin' on.

I'm not sure who first told me about this magnificent line of sex toys. It might have been Violet Blue or aag.. I can't remember and I love them both so it doesn't really matter. The beautiful secret is a company called Lelo and my latest favorite thing in the world is this.

If you're a loyal reader you'll remember that I blogged a while ago about my first true ejaculatory experience. Since then it's really been a love/hate kind of deal for me. More often than not.. it was hate. I could NOT get that to happen again no matter how hard I tried. Same technique, same position.. no go. I was feeling a little more than frustrated to be honest with you but I decided that if it happened then, surely it would happen again at some point in the future so I relaxed a bit.

Since I recently broke my favorite vibe (don't ask).. I decided it was time to purchase some new ones. I got the Gigi, and this. Since today is a vacation day for me, with snow falling outside and nowhere to go for most of the day, I decided to give these new toys a whirl. After soaking a towel AND the foot of the bed, I am happy to say that my ability to squeal and squirt at the same time has triumphantly returned and all is well with the world!!

I highly recommend these products and I want to thank either Violet or aag for talking about this line of toys. You're both fantastic.

2008-02-06T14:45:00.000-08:00

Things kick off this Friday evening at Obsession:Fetish Refined in Second Life with the opening of Demimonde - The Art of Molly Crabapple. This event will be held in conjunction with the opening of Molly's show at Arena Studios in NYC which is curated by Audacia Ray.

Then Sunday afternoon at 12PM SL I'll be kicking off an hour of music as I spend another Sunday afternoon performing at Obsession and enjoying the sexy company of all of you gorgeous people.

Come spend some time with us this weekend and see why Obsession really *is* fetish refined in Second Life.

Mixed-reality Art show coming up next weekend

2008-02-01T17:15:00.000-08:00

RL sex writer/blogger/amazing woman, Audacia Ray is curating a show next weekend in NYC called "Demimonde - The Art of Molly Crabapple". The show will open on February 8 at Arena Studios in NYC.

Audacia recently sent out invitations to the opening via Facebook and in responding to her invitation I stated that if she was ever interested in doing a mixed-reality event and having me host an event in SL in conjunction with her event in RL - to let me know.

With an almost immediate response of "I'm very interested", we started working out the details of how to make it happen.

So, a week from today, Obsession: Fetish Refined in Second Life will be holding the SL version of the opening of "Demimonde". I'll post more details soon, but please plan to stop by to view some amazing art, learn about the artist and mingle with other sexy people.

What is going on with this country?

2008-01-26T04:50:00.001-08:00

So I'm scanning news headlines this morning and run across this one:

"Nude buttocks may cost ABC $1.4 million"

So of course, I'm intrigued and I start to read the article. Turns out that ABC, in some episode of NYPD Blue, showed ""multiple, close-up views" of a woman's "buttocks", and now, they're being fined by the Federal Communications Commission.

The agency states this was indecent because you cannot show "sexual organs and excretory organs, specifically an adult woman's buttocks".

................. 'scuse me?

Since when are 'buttocks' a sexual organ? I mean, there's nothing quite like running your hands over someone's ass, or digging your fingers into those sweet, sweet ass cheeks and pulling someone closer to you, against you... but they are NOT a sexual organ. What the hell.

I could understand that someone's anus might have some sexual connotations but STILL.. even then.. not a 'sexual organ'.

You know, we go along living our lives, knowing that our government really isn't fantastic, and that stuff is majorly screwed up, and that certain people have really fucked up our country recently, but still there's always the thinking that 'well, it's not THAT bad.."

Well you know what? Yes it is. It is THAT BAD. This is just one shining example of how fucked up this country is. Since f'ing WHEN are buttocks a 'sexual organ' and you know what.. even if they WERE.. WHO THE FUCK CARES IF WE SEE THEM ON TV!!!!! First of all, at the time NYPD Blue airs, it's after bedtime for kids. So, if you don't have your kids in bed and they just happen to see someone's BUTT.. then that's your own damn fault. Teaching our children (and adults for that matter) that there's something 'wrong' or 'bad' or 'dirty' about our bodies is probably the worst thing we can do. This is what leads to such screwed up people in our country and you can bet your ass that in other countries television stations aren't getting fined for showing someone's butt on television.

Shit like this makes me nuts.

Obsessed with Obsession...

2008-01-18T05:05:00.000-08:00

Hi folks, I'm singing at Obsession again, but this time it's at an earlier time to accommodate everyone from Europe and other places that typically go to sleep WAY earlier than I do.

I'll be performing at 12PM SL this Sunday, January 20. My last show at Obsession was incredibly fun and I can't wait to see some new faces on Sunday.

Please join us if you can, I'd love to see you!

Updates at Obsession

2008-01-11T17:15:00.000-08:00

After performing last week at my favorite sex club in SL.. Obsession, Mr. Wendt decided to 'change things around a bit' and he's managed to make my favorite spot even more fantastic. He's moved some things around, added some things, and made what was great.. even better.

I'm posting some photos here so you can see what you're missing if you haven't been there yet:

I love bathrooms in sex places. I do not, however, like walking out of them feeling as though I just caught a case of virtual crabs because they're always covered in filth. Why *is* that? People.. "DIRTY" does not mean .... dirty. I can be just as dirty in a sparkling clean bathroom than I can in a filthy one.

Sefris and some helpers have updated the 'Back Alley' too. This is probably my favorite spot of Obsession. Try the cab.. it's fantastic.

Where can I take you?

I'm going to count backwards from five..

2008-01-04T19:00:00.000-08:00

A friend recently told me about 'HypnoDolls' in SL so I went exploring today. HypnoDolls is selling 'hypnotic' machines that are meant to put the user into a trance or hypnotic state by the use of text, audio and visual stimulus. They sell scripts for the machines, most of which are 'adult' or 'fetish' oriented, according to their FAQ notecard.

Now, I'd run into a guy at a BDSM club recently who was explaining to me that he uses hypnosis to get his sub to do as he asks and I must admit, I was highly skeptical just because I guess I've seen too many roleplayers and liars that I have difficulty believing that everyone I meet online is honest and truthful and are telling me things I can believe without a doubt. I do not doubt for one second that he truly believes he is hypnotizing women, but I'm hesitant to say that I believe that's truly what's going on. I won't say that he's lying because I certainly am in no position to make that judgement - maybe he IS actually hypnotizing women, and maybe I'm too cynical about it to even allow it to happen to me.

That being said, I had no idea there were actual machines for hypnosis being sold in SL.

I stopped by today and cammed onto the machine and I have to say that I honestly did feel myself drifting away a bit just watching the visuals on the thing. It's very relaxing and calming and pretty cool, I think.

Another neat thing I learned from their notecard is that they're very open to allowing people to create scripts for this machine and then allowing you to sell them in the store and splitting the profits with you 50/50. That's not a bad deal. Also, if you're a scripter into this kind of thing, from now until April 1, anyone submitting a script that is *not* sexual in nature (weight loss, smoking cessation, gambling (?), etc) will receive 90% of the profits if the script is sold in the store. Sweet.

Are any of you out there using these hypnosis machines? Are any of you doing any hypnotizing or allowing others to hypnotize you? Does it work? I'd love to hear your experiences - I'm still on the fence with this one so the more I can learn about it the better!

Holiday Hiatus

2008-01-02T15:16:00.001-08:00

Whew. What a holiday huh. I don't know about you guys but I was insanely busy and my vacation time from work went by much more quickly than I would have liked.

I'll be posting more soon, just as soon as I've had a chance to stop and catch my breath!

Until then... be lovely.

Sex and Candy!

2007-12-20T15:53:00.000-08:00

Yay for surprise holiday gifts! I had an unexpected gift arrive today from my new friend, Rachel Kramer Bussel. You might recall that I mentioned her a few posts ago in reference to her cupcake blog, but she's also an author and sent me a copy of her latest book, "Sex and Candy"!

Thank you Rachel! Looking forward to reading this!

Thank you to Sefris and "Obsession"

2007-12-19T16:17:00.001-08:00

Wanted to just send a quick "thank you" to Sefris Wendt and everyone that turned out to hear me at Obsession on Monday night! I had a blast and I hope you all did too.

We'll plan another event in the next few weeks, hopefully earlier in the day so people in other timezones can be there!

Thanks again!

"Virtually Knocked Up' - an update on the SL pregnancy discussion

2007-12-19T16:02:00.000-08:00

You all know that I blogged recently about pregnancies in Second Life, but I got an email from a reader a day or two ago that opened up my eyes to a lot more about this than I had even imagined.

The friend that emailed (we'll call her Kelly) really went into a pretty detailed explanation of why people might choose to be 'pregnant' in Second Life. I can honestly say that I really had no idea some of this was going on and although I'm not completely surprised about it, I am intrigued.

She mentions that in addition to the people that 'get pregnant' because they see it as a logical extension of their second lives, there are the fetishists - the people that are excited and aroused sexually by pregnancy and birth. People are having breeding parties, porn-inspired consultations with midwives, and "lots of kinky sex". There are pregnant porn models doing photo shoots that are then sold. Kelly mentions this is "surprisingly lucrative". I was fairly sure there would be pregnancy fetishists in Second Life, but I guess I never thought that it might go as far as selling photos of pregnant porn models having sex with each other.

In Kelly's email she also mentions that many women who are pregnant in Second Life never even bother to buy the prim babies because "the only thing worse than being a soccer mom in RL is being one in SL." Amen to that, sister.

I want to thank Kelly and all my other readers for continuing to open my eyes to things that I blog about or things you're involved with. I find it fascinating, intriguing and unbelievably interesting.

Tonight, at 6PM SL (9PM EST) I'll be performing at Sefris Wendt's new club, Obsession: Fetish Refined.

If you're in Second Life at that time, please come join us. It should be a really fun, wonderful time. Hope to see you all there!

who doesn't like cupcakes..

2007-12-11T15:20:00.000-08:00

In honor of Rachel Kramer Bussel and her cupcake blog, I'm posting a poem I wrote about cupcakes a while ago. Enjoy. :)

Cupcake Anticipation

That creamy, silky goodness
That's swirled all on top
I just can't wait to put my tongue
Inside
And lick it up

So so sweet like candy
And dripping down the sides
One little taste is all it takes
To feel that cupcake high

So hard to keep from tasting it
So close and yet so far
Sitting on that counter
Next to the cookie jar

That zig-zag silver wrapper
Holds all that yum inside
If I peel it back, just a little teeny bit
I'll have to make it mine

I can't just let it sit there
That would just be wrong
Someone else might take it
When I've waited so long

C'mere you little trollop
Our time has come at last
I'm peeling back that silver
But I won't eat you fast

I'll wrap my teeth around you
And sink my teeth in slow
Icing all over my lips
And on the tip of my nose

Dear God it tastes like heaven
Each delicious bite
I think I need a cigarette
And more cupcakes for tonight.

Pony Play in SL

2007-12-06T15:34:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite sex bloggers, Violet Blue, posted a link today about an article from the Second Life Herald discussing 'pony play' in Second Life. I've done a previous blog post about a ponygirl that I'd talked to and her viewpoints about what she enjoys and why.

What I found most interesting in this article were really the comments. There are times that I really think some people were put on this earth to criticize or judge other people and I just don't get that. There are plenty of things in this world that I just don't "get", but I really make every effort to not judge someone else for liking something that I don't understand. Who am I to think that I know everything there is to know about every fetish in the world? I'd be pretty damned arrogant to think so, or to think that I was in any position to made judgements about the people that are involved in those things.

As a fairly successful woman, I can completely understand why some women enjoy roleplaying these sorts of 'characters'. More and more women are in real-life roles requiring that they make important decisions, multi-task, and take care of any number of responsibilities during the course of any day. If a virtual world gives these women the opportunity to forget about all of those things, let someone else be in control for a while, and let go of everything they have to think about, then I have no trouble seeing how that might be very appealing to some people.

So here's the thing... can we please stop judging everyone for being into something that we don't 'get' or that we might think is wrong. We do *not* know everything (as much as we'd all like to think we do) and we cannot possibly understand how someone else feels or what someone else might need or desire in their life. Second Life is not the only place that these things are taking place, it's happening quite often in real-life too, but we're not in a position to pull up an interface in RL and type 'pony play' in a search field to see what our options might be.

Maybe if we could we'd all be a little bit more tolerant.

my horoscope for today...

2007-12-05T08:59:00.001-08:00

Your romantic inclinations turn spiritual or, at least, more altruistic as Venus enters your 12th House of Destiny. The emotional payoff could be worth taking a risk, not that you need much encouragement. Your desires are extending beyond the walls that usually contain them and it's best not to try to put them in a box.

Roleplaying of an entirely different kind..

2007-12-02T15:27:00.000-08:00

A friend was telling me today about a girl he knows that's pregnant in Second Life. I've seen pregnant women in Second Life for a long time now, but I've never really looked into the details.. until today. What follows is the notecard I was given at Sweet DreamzZ Maternity Clinic in Second Life:

Sweet DreamzZ Maternity Clinic
Making your sweetest dreams come true!!
Owned by Kaeko Freenote
--> Assistant Manager: Groovyloopylou Aya
--> Clinical Assistants: Mae Burton, Paisley Lancaster

Congratulations on your new addition, and thank you for choosing Sweet DreamzZ Maternity Clinic! We are the affordable alternative that is making the dream of bringing a baby into the world achievable for every family in SecondLife! In SL, having a baby (either with the one you love or all by yourself!) is the fulfillment of a dream. It is an opportunity to experience something dramatic and beautiful, to create a lasting memory, to build upon a relationship or to live out dreams that aren't attainable in your first life. We at Sweet DreamzZ know how important this experience is to you, and will do everything in our power to make your memory a wonderful one.

Sweet DreamzZ is owned and staffed by Midwife Kaeko Freenote. Kaeko is a mother three times over IRL and also a mother in 2nd life, and has delivered SL babies many times over. She is experienced with many varied birth and labor situations. She and our staff are able to provide prenatal care, labor and delivery in a calm, relaxing setting, and recovery care for mommy and baby. You will never be surprised by someone you don't know appearing to deliver your baby, or run your ultrasound. We offer waterbirths, traditional deliveries, c-sections - you call the shots and let us know what you would be comfortable experiencing.

Best of all, all of our services can be purchased a la carte - so there is no costly bundle to purchase. YOU decide which services are important to your experience, and are affordable for your family. We work by appointment only - so please review the services below, and then contact one of the clinical assistants listed above via IM to set up a consultation appointment.

***** PLEASE BE AWARE: We operate on a NO REFUNDS basis. Unless there was something substantially and measurably wrong with your experience, we will not refund your money. If you get divorced, we will support you through your pregnancy, and hope the baby will bring you joy. If you decide to discontinue your pregnancy, we will be happy to consider holding your package as a prepaid package, and let you use it when you're happily settled again. But we will not refund the purchase - that is simply not fair to us, to you, or to your baby. *****

-> Pregnancy Testing Kits -$25L

SweetDreamzZ is proud to announce the addition of an interactive, working pregnancy test! Our Clearblue tests are affordable and easy to use, and you can purchase them at any time. We have a vendor setup in our lobby. :o) For $25L, the vendor will give you a pregnancy test. Simply purchase the test, take it home and open it up. The test will give you either a positive or a negative result. If it's positive, congratulations!! Come on, and we will be happy to set up your SweetDreamzZ maternity package. :o)

-> Prenatal Visits
* Consultation Visit - $100L: The consultation visit will include taking your order for your birth experience, giving you information, scheduling any future visits and setting up your delivery date. At this visit we will also answer any questions you might have, and can discuss what kind of delivery you are looking for.

* Prenatal Care Visit - $175-250L: You may schedule as many prenatal care visits as you are comfortable with. The fee will be charged per visit. We offer three tiers of prenatal care visits.

--> Clinical Exam - $175L: At these visits, we will take your weight, discuss how your pregnancy is developing, do a breast, abdominal and pelvic exam to make sure everyone is healthy. We will listen for baby's heartbeat. We will offer advice on making your SL pregnancy comfortable and rewarding.

--> Sonogram - $175L: At these visits, we will do an abdominal exam, discuss your pregnancy, and take a sonogram image of baby to make sure he or she is growing as expected. A copy of the sonogram picture, personalized with notes from your visit, will be provided free of charge.

--> Combo - $250L: These visits will include a complete clinical exam as well as a sonogram exam and a personalized copy of the picture.

-> Delivery
There will be a flat $500L charge for your delivery. Water birth, stirrup birth and traditional birthing beds will be available for you to choose from, as well as a c-section option if you feel that your pregnancy is in danger. We offer a labor ball for you to rock on if you so choose. You may move around, labor in one way and then later move to another location - you control how you experience your labor. We will, of course, need to do occasional cervix checks to make sure dilation and effacement are appropriate, but when we are not checking the cervix you are free to move about the center to labor however is comfortable for you. After delivery, you will be given the opportunity to relax in our beautiful recovery suite with your baby.

-> Pregnancy Shapes, Physical Baby, HUDs and AOs

* Shapes: Sweet DreamzZ knows that some people are very attached to their shapes, and that some people haven't perfected theirs yet, but that everyone wants their body to change as they progress in their pregnancy! If you are experienced with editing your shape, you can simply modify it week by week, increasing breast size, stomach size, saddlebag size, rear end size, thickness and thighs. If you are not experienced, we would be happy to help you! For $200L, we can provide a set of generic shapes to be used throughout your pregnancy. If your current shape is full permission (meaning that it is modable and transferable) our designer will be happy to modify it for you to create pregnancy shapes for your current look. This service is $350L.

* Babies: We have partnered with a wonderful designer to provide customized babies for our families. We now offer two different levels of baby, and will soon add a third level. :o) We hope to fulfill the economic and aesthetic of every client who wants to use our clinic.

--> Basic - $300L: These babies are our very basic babies, meant for families with lower incomes. They come with an interaction HUD...but they are very cute, relatively low prim, and will look adorable as you carry and place them. Hair and skin are customizable, and we will discuss these options when you place your order. Additionally, the babies wear hats and booties that can be removed, as well as binkies. These babies coo, giggle and cry randomly, just like real babies. As an affordable solution for budget-conscious families, they are a remarkable choice!!

--> Vers. 2 - $600L: These babies are a step up, but still affordable for those watching a tight bottom line. These babies come with prim hair, available in a wide selection of styles and colors. There are four different clothing options to chose from, and a plethora of texture and color options for those clothes. They do not come with a HUD, but cry, coo and giggle randomly, like the basic baby. They come with booties and pacifiers which are removable by chat script.

--> Vers. 3 - TBD: These babies will be released sometime this month. Adorable like the Ver. 2, and with an equally wide choice of hair and skin colors, clothing styles and textures. The big difference here is that these babies come with a HUD. Interactive, you will be able to change colors and textures on their clothing, remove and give them their pacifiers, you can add and remove booties, plus you can give them a bottle and take the bottle away....all by HUD. You will also be able to turn their coos and giggles on and off, and they will whisper in response to actions you take with them. These are going to be very, very cool babies, and we can't wait till they're ready for release!

If you do not wish to purchase one of our babies but prefer to buy your baby elsewhere, that's not a problem.

If you purchase your baby from us, you will be given your child in the recovery room after birth. We need to weigh, examine, and clean up baby before we hand them over. If you purchase your baby elsewhere, we will use one of our birthing babies for the delivery, and will have you hold your baby for the first time once he or she has been cleaned up and checked out. To be clear, you will keep your baby in your inventory throughout the labor and delivery process, bringing it out once we've given the word after labor and delivery. We wish to avoid inventory transfers, because we all know how SL likes to eat things when they are in limbo.

* HUDs: HUDs are the wonderful tummy-talking devices that pregnant women all over SL use to help them role play their pregnancies, and to share the experience. SweetDreamzZ is currently partnered with creator Coal Edge to offer the Interactive Tummy-Talker via a vendor in our lobby. We believe this product to be the absolute best tummy-whispering product on the market, and Coal Edge's assistants to be absolutely fantastic to work with. Not only does the HUD simulate cravings and feelings for the mother, but it is interactive with partner and anyone else you wish to allow to interact. If you don't want anyone intereacting, you can block them from doing so. The most remarkable part of this HUD is the labor simulator, simulating contractions and even your water breaking! We highly, highly recommend this product!

* AOs: AOs are what will make your avatar stand, sit and walk like a pregnant woman. There are a number of affordable maternity AOs on the market, and if you're really clever, you can make your own by buying the poses you like and loading them into a HUD. SweetDreamzZ offers the FixedBit Pregnancy AO via a vendor in our lobby. We very much enjoyed this AO during our pregnancies, and can highly recommend it.

-> Labor and Delivery Photos

If your loved ones just aren't very talented photographers and you would like to have lots of pictures of your blessed event, please let us know. Kaeko is quite talented at capturing beautiful birth moments, and whichever is not assisting you with delivery will be more than happy to take the pictures. We will ask $25L per picture taken. You can let us know how many pictures you would like taken, and if you would like us to decide the shots, or if you would like us to pick what we think will be best.

-> Surprise, Surprise!

You made it this far into the notecard, so we know you're as excited about your impending birth as we are!! At Sweet DreamzZ, we know that what can make a birth even more special is the element of surprise. We're happy to accomodate you with this in roleplaying your prenatal visits (maybe you will have a condition requiring nearly complete bedrest! Maybe you'll be required to drink more milk!), your labor (could baby be breech??), or in picking the color of baby's eyes or hair for you. Just tell us during your consultation: Surpise Me!

Additionally, every so often at Sweet DreamzZ we discover at birth a set of twins where only one baby was expected!! Surprise twins incur no extra charges from the parents, just the necessity for a bigger crib and more diapers, and the ability to share lots more love. :oD

The bottom line is that, at Sweet DreamzZ, you really NEVER know what will happen!

-> Roleplay

What we want you to know about your SL pregnancy is that what makes it the most special is YOU! Get involved, and don't be embarassed to actively role play your pregnancy. Are your ankles swollen? Does your tummy itch where the skin is stretching to accomodate baby? Do you have a sudden hankering for pancakes and mint chocolate chip ice cream? Are you starting to feel some pain in your lower back, or Braxton-Hicks contractions? Don't be shy - say it out loud! Express it!! Buy yourself a mint-chocolate chip ice cream cone, and wear it everywhere! Think you might be going into labor early - IM us and see if we have an appointment time available to take you now! If not, maybe we can give you some medicine to hold labor off a little longer. If you're not afraid of roleplaying, especially if you've got a good partner or support team, you won't even need a HUD to help you make the experience realistic. We assure you, we will not be shy about roleplaying the clinical visits and delivery. That experience is what we're here for!! :o)

If you like what you've read and would like to schedule your consultation, or if you need more information, please IM Kaeko Freenote to set up a consultation time. Sometimes Kaeko will be immediately available, and sometimes she will need to schedule it for later. And sometimes she does sleep, so be patient and we promise, we will get back to you! No customer is ever forgotten or overlooked. We feel honored that you are inviting us to be a part of this experience, and we take that responsibility very seriously.

Thank you for your interest in Sweet DreamzZ! We look forward to making your sweetest dreams come true!

Midwife Kaeko Freenote welcomes your inquiries! ;o)

I have so much to say that I don't even know where to begin.

Ok now.. I'm really not being judgemental here, cause I'm an open-minded girl and I honestly *do* want to understand why people get pregnant in Second Life. I also wonder.. how many babies do you think people just keep in their inventory? How many 'perfect relationships' go wrong in Second Life after that baby comes along? I really think it's a lot like when I played Barbies with my sister when we were younger and when Barbie got into a 'boring' situation (typically after she and Ken were married and had a baby) my sister and I would declare a "Do-Over" and start again so Barbie could be single and do whatever she wanted.

I still think there's a market here somewhere for an SL abortion clinic, but I'm seriously considering giving this a whirl just to see what sort of pregnancy fetishists turn up.

Tagged...again

2007-12-02T10:19:00.001-08:00

Ok so.. London Spengler has 'tagged' me. I've been tagged once before, although not in this blog and I recall not being thrilled about it then either. ;) I'm happy to reveal my 'eight random facts', but I kind of draw the line at tagging eight other people.

Eight random facts about me:
1. Not so fond of the 'tagging' thing.
2. I love coconut chip ice cream
3. I hate being told what to do
4. In Second Life, I live in a fantastic penthouse built for me by a real-life friend I've known for 15 years.
5. I'm an incredibly emotional person.
6. I love.. and hate... very deeply
7. I love cupcakes
8. I believe in Karma and I think some people are heading towards some major karmic paybacks.

Obsession is Open for Business!!

2007-12-02T09:59:00.000-08:00

Sefris Wendt held the "Grand Opening" of Obsession: Fetish Refined on Friday night. Here's an excerpt from the invitation/announcement:

A new BDSM club is opening in Second Life and you are invited! Obsession has been built to provide a relaxing social atmosphere for patrons who enjoy the BDSM lifestyle. With plenty of things to discover we hope you will come out and enjoy Obsession to its fullest..

Even if you're not into the BDSM scene, you'll be completely at home at Obsession. It's intimate, warm, and classy. I love it, and I guarantee that you'll be seeing me around there quite often.

I must say that I'm so glad to see Sefris opening a new club. I loved B&D before it changed and I'm excited to watch the growth of Obsession.

When will we stop blaming "the internet" for all the bad things?

2007-11-25T14:13:00.000-08:00

I was browsing along on the interwebs today, like I do every other day, and came upon a story that I'd read about a few weeks ago, but there are some new developments in the story now that I think are worth discussing and questioning.

The story is about a 12 year old girl that committed suicide after her 'online' MySpace friend told her he didn't like her anymore because she was 'mean to her friends'. The interesting part of this story is that her MySpace friend was actually a neighboring adult who seemingly didn't like the 12 year old girl and decided to 'play around with her'.

Now, the 12 year old had a history of depression and attention deficit disorder, but let's face it.. she was also a 12 year old, pre-teen, pubescent girl. I don't know about you, but at that age I was lucky to get through a day without feeling like I had the most dramatic, horrible life and I would NEVER understand my parents, and how could anything be worse than this, blah blah, etc. My point is that 12 year old girls are a magnet for drama and are easily elated and crushed.. especially if affairs of the heart are involved.

I'm really not sure what part of this story bothers me more: the fact that some adult pretended to be a teenage boy for the sole purpose of toying with this girl's feelings, or the fact that the media.. once again, blames an 'online' relationship for this crime. Every time someone chooses to portray the internet as a place where only murderers, rapists, pedophiles, or 'naughty' people are, they do an incredible disservice to everyone else. I'm not negating that those people are online, but there are many more of those people living in our neighborhoods that we might want to be more concerned about.

I feel terrible for the family that had to go through this, and I feel even worse for the 12-year old girl, Megan, that was so devastated by this that she killed herself. I want to rewind time, sit her down and tell her that her world is not over if some boy is mean to her or says bad things to her. I want to be able to show her all of the things she has to look forward to and dream about. I want to tell her that not everything she reads online is true, and that sometimes people pretend to be something they aren't. I wish I could do that, but it's too late.

I'm about to share something that a lot of people don't know about me, but it's relevant here I think. When I was in elementary school and riding the bus to school, the older kids would block off all of the empty seats on the bus so I couldn't sit in them and they wouldn't let me sit with them either. With the bus driver doing nothing to stop them, and being the shy kid that I was at the time, I just went back to the front of the bus and rode in the stairwell to school. I also recall, in high school being taunted and harassed by some other girls who called me a "dog" in the hallways between classes and spent many weeks barking and yelling at me as loudly as they could to try and humiliate me. At this time, this was incredibly hurtful but I also knew that I was better than that and refused to let them upset me. My point is these sorts of things have gone on for ages, and choosing to say it was a "MySpace" friend doesn't mean that this sort of thing only happens online.

Megan Meier was a 12 year old girl that wanted some friends and had her heart broken by a mean, cruel-hearted adult that lived down the street. There is no excuse for that and I think that woman deserves whatever fate brings down on her. That being said, let's stop thinking that 'mean things' only happen to people that are communicating online when that's just not the case.

What really is sex in Second LIfe?

2007-11-23T15:33:00.000-08:00

A friend of mine just recently did a podcast about sex in Second Life and she talks about touring a few 'sex' spots inside Second Life and mentions that she doesn't really 'get' it yet.

I started thinking about how people view sex differently and started to wonder what views and opinions other people have about online and virtual sex.

As you've seen me mention before, I've been part of online communities for years and years now, and even in the simple, plain, non-visual world of IRC chatrooms 'cybersex' was prevalent and 'hookups' were many. Now granted, this was all text-based and didn't have the visual element we have now with Second Life, but that didn't make it any less intense or 'real'. In fact, at times, I think the fact that it was text-based served to make it even more real, and I think that's what makes sex real in Second Life as well.

Sex in Second Life isn't about the poseballs. It's not about teleporting into a fetish dungeon and saying 'yes' to the first IM you get and then hopping into a sex animation with that person. That.. in my opinion.. is roleplaying and not 'sex'. The sex you can *see* in Second Life, isn't the real stuff, or the powerful stuff. The real sex in Second Life is happening behind the scenes.. in private homes, and in IM conversations. Just like in text-based chatrooms, the hookups, cybersex, and relationships are happening in a place not visible to the public.

I've had several people ask me, at times in a very condescending way.. if I think online sex is 'real'. I really love being asked that question when you know they already have their mind made up and will chastise you for whatever you say, even though they have no personal experience on which to base their rationale. Hopping on a poseball to have animated or simulated sex is as real as anything else you choose to do. This does mean, however, that I think all 'sex' in Second Life is based on emotional connection. It's not - not by a long shot. So what's real for you might not be real to someone else, and vice versa.

Second Life is a lot of things to a lot of people. There is very real 'sex' happening there, and very real relationships - intense, powerful, heart-breaking relationships. Just because you think it looks 'silly' to see people on poseballs in the middle of a 'free sex' room doesn't mean there aren't other people experiencing some very significant, life-changing relationships the next sim over.

It's good to have an Obsession...

2007-11-20T16:48:00.000-08:00

For those of you that are fans of BDSM and are familiar with "Bound and Determined" or "B&D" as we like to call it... you likely are familiar with Sefris Wendt, creator of the original B&D club. Sefris had B&D when it was a great hangout, when people felt comfortable there, and when I enjoyed going there.

If you haven't been to B&D recently, you're in for a shock. It's big, it's overwhelming, and it's commercial. I totally understand that the commercial aspect is there to pay for and support the club, but still.. ick. There's no love in that. B&D now is a giant warehouse of dorks and newbies and it's lost the charm for me.

The good news is that my dear friend, Sefris Wendt, is bringin' sexy back with his new club.. (and God bless him for giving me the scoop and letting me announce the name here first...) Obsession.

Sefris took me on a tour of the new place this evening and was kind enough to tell me a bit about his vision (which, by the way, I fully agree with).

According to Sefris, he's trying to, "find a nice fusion between class and BDSM", with the new club. In talking about the new feel and atmosphere, he also mentioned that, some of the things he likes sexually, probably more than anything else.. are "contrast and conflict.. like.. being here and wanting to feel the class,but having so much more right under the surface wanting to get out.".

One of my favorite spots at the old B&D was "Hard Alley", a rough-feeling 'street scene' with poseballs and 'sex graffiti' on the wall. Sefris plans to take this one step further with Obsession. Not only does he plan to have his own version of "hard alley", but his plans include actual construction of an alley behind the club so that you really do need to go downstairs, outside, and behind the club to enjoy this spot. I dig that.

Obsession is not your 'typical' sex club and I think we can all thank our respective higher powers there. Sefris hopes to attract a more 'upscale' or 'classy' clientele for this spot and I hope he succeeds. With shiny wood floors, comfortable furniture, and small rooms off the side, Obsession feels more like a 'home' than a sex club and I think that lends to the intimate, voyeuristic feelings I had while I was visiting.

When you're creating a sex club you really need to consider things like this. Putting in a fireplace and some bookshelves doesn't make a place intimate, nor does it attract intellectuals. It's about space, it's about scale and it's about style. Sefris has it right. He had it right with B&D before it was sold, and he's got another winner on his hands here.

Obsession is planned for opening next week, and keep an eye out for a group dedicated to the space as well. I know that several of you had mentioned to me that you were really looking for a new and classier hangout.. well, it's about to arrive.

You have a great new club in the making here, Mr. Wendt and I must say... I'm obsessed already.

Toxian City - Roleplaying Part #3

2007-11-17T18:44:00.000-08:00

After my tour of New Olympus, Petite Pixie offered to show me around Toxia, or "Toxian City". Since I was eager to have a tourguide, I happily took her up on her offer and we were on our way.

The arrival at Toxia is on a pier and the first thing I noticed was the lag. There's some significant lag here so just be prepared for it. Don't think you're going to get yourself in a situation and then just run away really quickly cause that sure as hell won't happen. According to Petite, "Toxia is based on a city that had a major chemical and biohazard accident and people mutated or died. So a lot of creatures and things that go bump came and took over." A lot of the roleplaying areas also allow combat and Petite mentioned that the The DCS2 combat system was made by and for the owners of Toxia and is now available to any sim that would like to use it free of charge. She said it's is the best system in SL because it can be configured by the sim owners and it has a lot of options. I'll take her word for it, but if you're interested in fighting there's a DCS2 store located right near the entrance.

There's a library on the main street and I really liked this spot. It's warm and cozy and seems a lovely place to curl up with a good book. Toxian City also has all of the 'standard' thing that I'm starting to see at all of the roleplaying areas including different 'headquarter' buildings for the different groups and factions that exist. There was also an apartment building for those who want to live here, along with a hospital, church, graveyard and "porn" shop. In my opinion, the porn shop needs to get some more merchandise. If I moved to Toxia I'm afraid I'd go unsatisfied because the selection is fairly sparse.

My favorite place in Toxia, however, is The Haven. Haven is a bar or a 'safe spot' in Toxia where no fighting occurs and you can just dance, relax, and hang out with other people. I spent some time in Haven tonight and even though I'm not a Toxian Citizen and have only visited twice, I felt perfectly at home and completely comfortable. I guess the name is appropriate. It's always been my feeling that any community is only as good as the people and from what I can tell, Toxian City has some pretty fantastic people and seems abundantly tolerant of the different groups that call it home.

Petite mentioned that "the cool thing is all of this is out of pocket and not intended to make profits. You have to love what you're doing to have a roleplay and for profit malls and RP don't mix.". I have to say that I completely agree with her, and we see this over and over and OVER again in Second Life. When we're trying to create spaces and environments where we can interact and escape, and immerse ourselves in these worlds, the last thing we need is commercialism screaming to be heard. I think the mix can really work when it's done right and Toxia does it right.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Toxia and in all honesty, before my trip there this evening I was more nervous about being at Toxia than I was at Midian because it felt much 'darker' and more frightening to me. Luckily, I met some great people and now my viewpoint has changed. Gotta love the human aspect.

New Olympus - Masquerade - Roleplaying Part 2

2007-11-15T17:24:00.000-08:00

Now that Lillie's called this a 'series', I'm feeling like I'd better get my sweet ass in gear and do some more exploring!

So, since I'm still waiting for the Midian City #2 tour (if you want to help, let me know!) I decided to IM another person that was recommended to me and see what she could help with.

Petite Pixie was my tourguide this evening and was generous enough to give the grand tour of her new sim, New Olympus - The Masquerade.

This sim is also a roleplaying sim, so it fits in beautifully with my recent thread about roleplaying in SL. The Masquerade is a fairly new roleplaying sim having just opened two weeks ago, and Petite told me that this sim is focused solely on vampire roleplaying and based on the book RPG Vampire the Masquerade.

We started the tour in the Moonlight Cafe.. a diner that's open to humans by day, but vampires by night. Petite also mentioned that it's night 100% of the time in New Olympus, so all you humans might as well stay home. The tour continued with walks through the theatre, Petite's own furniture store, and a store with breakable windows (neat!). There's a bar, a prison that was converted into a dance club (with an amazing lava pit underneath), and a church with "bingo, cards, and bondage" underneath. That's my kind of religion. BINGO!

We continued our tour and saw the construction site, the park where a huge cargo plane had crashed, a garage, a hospital and some bathrooms.

As you know, I'm still very new to the roleplaying scene and I have everything to learn. It's fascinating to me to see these different areas and really start to think about the types of storylines that can develop here. Storylines that don't begin and end with just one person, but are built upon, over time, by an entire community of people dedicated to this project. Love that.

Tour of Apocalypse - Midian Part #1

2007-11-13T18:29:00.000-08:00

Thanks to the glorious Camilla Moore, I was able to get a tour of the Apocalypse sim tonight which is part of Midian City (Thank you Zaphod!! ;)). Camilla was incredibly gracious in showing me around and explaining things to me.. I must say.. I had *no* idea that so much was going on in this area. I'm beyond impressed.

All the roleplaying in these areas was something I really had no grasp on and was super intimidated by, but Camilla says everyone is actually very sweet, so that made me feel a bit less scared about it.

We walked all over Apocalypse and I saw the "Four Horsemen Bar" whose owner is apparently a 'very bad man' and a notorious rapist and sadist. Hmmmm. :) Camilla said every bar is ownd by some faction or group in Midian. Who knew!

I also saw the KAOS radio station (SO COOL) and the Legion Bunker and HQ. I was in the base people. IN THE BASE. Camilla said they do experiments down there to "midian victims". I believe her. I saw the autopsy tables.

There are rentals there, and I saw the park (and a secrety spot too!).

There wasn't time to tour the Midian City sim, but what I've seen so far has blown me away. The details of the build itself are just phenomenal and the different groups/factions/storylines happening in this sim are just beyond anything I'd imagined.

I'm incredibly impressed.. and this was just half the tour! Can't wait!

And a hunting we shall go!

2007-11-13T11:27:00.000-08:00

Ladies and lovelies, I've gotten myself a tour guide for Toxian City. I'm super excited and thrilled that some folks have offered to show me around. I've been hanging out at Midian City a bit (and by hanging out I mean scampering along the walls praying no one confronts me) and I'm starting to dig it.

I need to work on my roleplaying though and apparently I need to have a pretty good idea of what my 'character's' story is. I'm having tons of fun starting to 'look' the part though. I think I'm lookin' pretty great..

I'd still love a tour guide/introduction to Midian City too so if anyone is willing to show me around, let me know!

-xopixox

I need a tour guide...

2007-11-11T14:30:00.000-08:00

If anyone out there hangs out regularly at either Midian City or Toxian City.. I need a tour guide to show me around those areas. Basically, it's because I'm a chicken and I'm scared to go there alone. I know it's ridiculous and I could just 'teleport' out of there if I had to, but I really respect the roleplaying going on in those communities and I don't want to just show up and not know what's going on.

I couldn't even play Quake in the 90's because I was terrified when people would run up behind me or tell me they could hear me breathing.

So! If anyone's willing to help me out and show me around.. I'd greatly appreciate it! :)

Sexstination #16 - The Lady Garden

2007-11-11T08:04:00.000-08:00

The Lady Garden might be a gentlemen's club, but this girl was fitting in just fine chatting with the gorgeous escorts working there.

Located in Roosa, The Lady Garden is, in my opinion, one of the best escort clubs I've seen in SL. It's small, intimate and classy and the girls were friendly. The color scheme is refreshingly purple/lavender/browns with great lighting. I know a lot of you think that red and black really define 'sexy', but let me assure you.. they don't. The build itself is really done well, and you have a really defined sense of space. It's cozy and really makes you feel at home. It's a small crowd (at least when I was there) and that meant there was more time and freedom to really interact, flirt, and get to know the girls.

In the words of one of the patrons I met there, The Lady Garden has, "chill downtempo music, no crap like camping or sploder, and FUCKING AMAZING GIRLS.". That about wraps it up.

One of the girls, Terri, was exceptionally friendly and more than willing to talk with me about the club. When I asked her what she'd like people to know, she said that there's "a skybox full of outrageous fun toys, scrumptious threesome activities." I was also lucky enough to meet and speak with the owner, Caira, and she showed me the newest area of the club.

With the gorgeous build, fantastic atmosphere, and incredibly friendly people, I have no doubt that I'll be back to visit and hang out at The Lady Garden.

Advice for the Guys, Girls, and Guys pretending to be Girls

2007-11-10T17:05:00.000-08:00

Ok so here's the thing.

I've been hanging around the SL sex spots a lot and I've been doing a lot of observing, and I've come to the conclusion that maybe some guys just need some help.

It's interesting that if you do a search for 'sex' and teleport to the first place you see, you will find a MILLION 'newbies' there using the 'free cock' just walking around praying to God they will find some newbie female willing to click on a poseball and make their online fantasies come true. If they're lucky, she might even be able to spell and will thrill them with some occasional chatter about how good he is, or how close she is to coming.

If you're willing to venture away from just the 'sex' search and you know to search for 'fetish' or 'bondage' or anything a step up from 'sex', then you'll find some spots with a much different clientele. You'll rarely find newbies in these spots - and by newbies I mean people that LOOK very much like a newbie with the default look. You will also, I've noticed, find a lot of people DESPERATE to look like what they think a "Master" should look like. Apparently when most people think "Dom" or "Master" they immediately think long black hair, lots of black leather, bling, and either no shirt at all, or a lovely black leather vest. These men attract women with the same sense of style.

You'll also find the occasional 'businessman' in these areas. Neatly dressed in a suit and likely hoping to attract the 'intelligent' girls. I met one of these men yesterday, and from personal experience, they also seem to have a bit of an attitude and an arrogance that makes them think you'll fall all over yourself to be with them.

From my observations and travels, I've come up with some advice that I'd just like to pass along to everyone wanting to meet someone else in a sex spot in SL.

1. Be different. If you dress like everyone else, you'll never be noticed.

2. Buy some good skin, a good shape, and some great hair. I know it's superficial, and I know that we shouldn't care about those things in a virtual world, but we do.

3. Guys.. if you want to be a "Master" or a "Dom", please.. PLEASE, adjust your shape so that you're at least as tall as we are. Girls just aren't attracted to guys that are shorter than we are. If you're going to want us to look up to you we kind of need to be able to ... you know.. look UP to you.

4. Girls. For the love of God, do not buy a no-mod shape, AND.. if you DO insist on doing that, please.. PLEASE do NOT buy a shape that makes you look like a praying mantis. No tall spindly legs and huge giant breasts with no hips. Come on.

5. Spelling and grammar. Please - make an effort.

6. Do not assume that just because we're standing there looking fantastic that we're waiting to have sex with you.

What have I forgotten?

It's not all about you

2007-11-04T13:08:00.000-08:00

I was in a discussion group today about "What SL means to/for women" and it took place inside Second Life. Initially I wasn't going to attend because I usually get royally pissed off at discussions like that, but I decided to see what it was about.

I should have listened to my instincts.

You know, I have been involved in online communities for a long time now, and one thing I do not, and will never understand is the apparent constant need for women to continually feel like 'the victim' online. I'm freaking sick of it, actually.

I'm a feminist, and I like that I'm a female. I freaking LOVE being a woman. Love it. This does not mean, however, that I blame men for everything wrong in the world. If someone sends me a private message in SL stating that they like my breasts.. I'm not offended, nor do I feel harassed or stalked. I do not feel terrorized or threatened, and I sure as hell don't feel like I need to 'escape' the situation or report them. My goodness people, get a grip. There are stupid people all over this world and sometimes.. SOMETIMES.. it doesn't f'ing matter if you're a female. Idiots are idiots and sometimes it's not all about you or the fact that you have a vagina for God's sake.

The discussion started with statistics about how many women play WoW and how many women are in SL, and what explains that difference? To me it's pretty damned obvious, but ok I'll play along. Women don't like to go around killing things as much as men might, and so we prefer SL where we can be more social and shop like fiends. This is no mystery.

The discussion quickly turned to defining sex, and how do we really define who is and is not female in online communities. This then logically (*eye roll*) led to the question of whether or not we'd be offended if there was an 'abuser' hiding as a female in our discussion group. Well at that point there was no turning back for me.. I was pissed. Why the hell did/do discussions like this always lead to this sort of stuff? Why could the 'abuser' not just as well have been female and why do we immediately start talking about abuse, stalking, harassment, etc.

Lots of women going on about how they often feel threatened in Second Life. One even mentioned that she went to a GUN SHOP in SL to consider purchasing a gun for protection. COME ON. What the hell!?

This is really not advancing the cause of women here people. Stop being the damn victim, stop pretending everything is about you being a female, and stop whining around and acting as if everyone's out to get you. Do your thing, be strong, and ignore the bullshit.

You know what I'm sick of?

2007-10-31T15:22:00.000-07:00

I'm sick to hell of the internet being portrayed as a place where 'bad' or 'dirty' people hang out. I'm sick of the media talking about Second Life as a place where stalkers, murderers, pedophiles, and 'losers' are. I'm sick of reading news articles saying "Girl murdered for answering Craigslist ad". Sick of it.

CSI:NY last week did an episode that featured Second Life. According to the plot, the murderer was a resident of Second Life, so the detectives had to log in and create their own avatar in order to track down the killer. This led to numerous instances of sarcastic remarks or snide little comments about people being involved in online communities, or falling in love online. Although I'm really glad to see Second Life making its way into mainstream media, but making comments like this really don't help the typical person understand that we really aren't all murderers and bad people. Numerous people at work the next day.. knowing how involved I am in Second Life took time to ask me if I'd seen it and it was always followed by, "that's CREEPY." Great. Just what we need.

The very next evening the episode of "The Office" also mentioned Second Life and in the explanation there was a line that went something like "It's not a game, there are no winners or losers" which was, of course, following by the next line of dialogue saying "Oh there are losers, all right.". Once again, fantastic stereotyping.

Now today, someone else shows me this. The discovery of a 'pedophile playground' within Second Life. For those of you not familiar with Second Life, it's a virtual world where you can choose to be whatever the hell you want. Man, woman, animal, alien, fairy, robot, etc. Now.. keep in mind please, that everyone signing up for a Second Life account in the main area has to be over 18. So, in knowing that.. if you 'choose' then to have a 'smaller' avatar that might look like someone younger than 18 and you engage in virtual sex with an adult .. is that a crime? You're both 18. You're both consenting. You're both involved in roleplaying. Is it a crime? I dunno. Not in my mind, but I'm not sure the law is always on my side.

What's the line with roleplaying and age play? How many times during 'normal/offline' sex have you called someone 'baby' or "my sweet girl'? How many times have people engaged in behaviors like spanking with the partner in costume to resemble a 'schoolgirl' or something similar? I'm wondering how exactly that's different than what we're talking about in Second Life. In my mind? It's not different at all.

it's all in the details, darling

2007-10-21T16:14:00.000-07:00

B&D (Bound and Determined Fetish Club) in Second Life has recently undergone a 'remodel'. I spoke with Sefris Wendt (the former owner) to tell him that I liked the way things were looking, and he told me that he'd sold the club and it was now under the ownership of Kailani Ling. Kailani also owns the "Twisted Orchid" fetish club and I've blogged about that previously.

I must say that B&D was by far my favorite place to hang out, observe, and chat with people so when I have some time on my hands, you can usually find me there. This remodel is great, and exciting but I do have a couple cents to toss into the bucket on this one.

The previous version of B&D had one big room with several separate areas just off to the side of the main room. It also had a 'back alley' and in my opinion, the best roleplay scenes happened in that area. The new version is .. well.. freaking huge. There are walkways above the 'main room', which as I've said.. is FREAKING HUGE... and then on the upper floor there are several rooms that are more 'private' than in the previous version. There's a bathroom, a few 'dungeon' looking rooms, a few rooms with just bunches of poseballs, one or two with a bed.. and my favorite, the doctor's office.

The lower room now has a really large stage area with dance poles and seats in front, and then just a few 'sitting' areas around the room.

I've been to several 'sex' and 'fetish' clubs in SL and I understand this 'model', but the more I looked around, the more disappointed I became. In my opinion (and really, isn't that all most blogs are anyway?) what made B&D great was that it *wasn't* like every other club in SL. It was bright and open and exciting. The scale of the build in its entirety 'worked' and encouraged communication and interaction. Although I do like the new B&D with its more separate, private and distinct rooms, the overall feel now is 'dark' and 'big' and I'm just not digging that. The 'scale' is off and again.. in my opinion.. the build is just too big. It's too big to feel cozy or to make you feel like you're 'part of something' by being there. Just one glance at the floor tiles can throw off this whole sense of 'place'. I'm also not sure I understand this whole 'dark is sexy' idea that seems prevalent in SL. Why are all these sex clubs so dark and dreary?

When you're trying to build or create in Second Life, it really is about the details. It's the details that keep people coming back, and it's the details that make the difference. I hope B&D understands how important the 'details' are and that they make it a place I want to continue to frequent.

Sexstination #15 - Gotham City XXX

2007-10-16T17:38:00.000-07:00

Once again, one of my lovely friends suggested that I review a certain spot in Second Life so here we are at Gotham City.

Billing itself in 'search' as the "Largest FUCK SIM in SL!!" , Gotham City has a little bit of everything and a whole lot of atmosphere. I'm honestly not sure I understand the whole 'largest fuck sim' thing because .. and correct me if I'm wrong here.. aren't all sims the same size? Maybe they're referring to the scale of the build? No idea.

Anyway! Back to our review.. Gotham City has the typical things you'd expect in a sex area.. shopping, clubs and poseballs. One store is selling 'flexi cum' that you can wear to make the experience more 'real' for you, but to me it just looks like a cow's udder went all haywire and sprayed heavy cream all over you. Real cum does not look like this, people.

The difference with Gotham is that is really is 'themed' exceptionally well. You really do feel as though you're in a 'city', and I dig that. Parts of the city are rainy and overall it feels very 'dark' which translates well to 'dirty'. There was even a rat scurrying around my feet at one point.

I did wander into the 'Pink Pussy Cat' club to see what was going on. It was fairly quiet when I was there, but the girls working were really nice and that was pleasant. I tipped one of them and was on my way to explore a bit more.

It seems that Gotham will also have rental apartments available so if you're interested or looking for a place to live that's a little bit different and you're into sexually themed areas, you might want to check that out. No idea what the rates will be, but worth looking into.

I dig Gotham City. I've spent some time there since this review and I'm sure I'll be back to visit again. One thing I do think is worth mentioning though... if you're a super hero av, you should probably leave Gotham off your list of places to visit. There's a huge sign there saying that anyone arriving in a superhero outfit will be ejected without warning.

I guess they were sick of Batman showing up trying to rid Gotham of the 'bad people'.

virtually broken hearts

2007-10-12T18:58:00.000-07:00

I've seen more and more couples in SL lately trying to work through 'issues' that arise in spaces like Second Life. All the experiences I observe and hear about seem so similar in some ways, but always unique in others.

I know that some people don't 'get' online communities and just can't grasp how anything in them could be 'real'. I've had people tell me time and time again that 'sex with a cartoon' just doesn't appeal to them and I've gotta say that the idea of having Goofy or Pluto go down on me doesn't really send me to orgasm either, but that's not what SL is about. It's not about the right-clicking and 'sitting' on a poseball to make your avatar go through some pre-planned motion of sexual activity. It's about the private conversations. It's about smiling when you both type the same thing at the same time. It's about making a connection with someone you would have never met in RL, but have now come to have real feelings for because of this virtual space. It's about falling in love.

I've gotta say that over my years of time in online communities, I've fallen in love quite a bit. There are amazing people all over this world and when you think about how borders just fall away in communities like this, isn't amazing that we haven't achieved world peace just from loving each other in virtual worlds.

Inhibitions are lowered, and you're able to be more of 'yourself' in these environments, allowing people to fall in love with who YOU are and not necessarily what you look like, or what job you have, what car you drive, etc. Online communities allow for intense, personal, and extremely real interactions. What this means is that they also allow for intensely real broken hearts at times.

I have been in that situation.. more times than I'd like to think about really. I've thought my world would end, and I've sat in front of the computer glancing at the clock every minute waiting for someone to log on. I've cried myself to sleep over loves that never happened and loves that I wish hadn't happened. I've felt empty when an online lover doesn't sign on, and I've felt the desperation in wanting to take something 'online' into real life. I've felt the nervousness when something does become 'real' for the first time, and I've lived with the pain when it doesn't work out.

For everyone out there that's going through relationship issues with someone you met online, take it from a girl that's been there and listen to me. Work through it, make it happen, do whatever you need to do.. because it's worth it.

I honestly hate that - "Loving and losing is better than never loving at all" - bullshit because sometimes I don't think that's the case. Sometimes I wish I'd never met someone at all instead of meeting them and having them break my heart.. but I do know this. I do know, without a doubt, that I have learned so much about myself through these experiences that I would never give that up in a million years. You change, and grow and become a different person every time and that, my lovelies.. is priceless.

hoppin' down the bunny trail

2007-10-12T18:42:00.000-07:00

I realized I'd never posted an update about my Playboy Bunny experience and figured I should, so here it is.

If you recall, I was f'ing focused on getting hired by the Playboy corporation to be a 'virtual' bunny for them, and managed to get the job. If I do say so myself, I made a hell of a bunny. I was sexy, but not the 'model' type.. friendly, helpful and damnit.. just plain fun. I had a blast wearing the 'bunny suit' and representing Playboy in SL.. for about 2 weeks.

You know that whole 'grass is always greener' thing? Well, same thing goes for bunnies. The grass in the Playboy meadow was so f'ing delightful that I *had* to have it. Once I was there, hoppin' around the fields with the other bunnies for a while.. suddenly the grass on the OTHER side of the fence started looking pretty damned tasty. Seems the Playboy corporation really didn't take care of their grass as much as you might think and it started making the bunnies sick. The bunnies tried to tell the farmer how to make the grass better and how to attract more bunnies, but the farmer told the bunnies to shut up and eat the grass they were given.. but only half as much as they were given to start with. Ok enough of this.. it's making my head hurt.

I was hired by Playboy, as was my good friend. We were *psyched*, baby. PSYCHED. This was f'ing fab, working for Playboy. But, turns out.. that not many people came to the Playboy sim, and when they did, they weren't greeted with the 'mansion' like you'd hope for.. they were greeted with a huge-ass store selling overpriced merchandise. The grotto was there.. but not very well done and not the sexy grotto people are used to. So, over time.. it was more and more boring, and we felt more and more used and 'not listened to'.

I'm not one for keeping my mouth shut about things when I'm right so I emailed the guy that brought Playboy into SL and told him *exactly* what he needed to do to make Playboy ROCK in SL. He didn't listen. He's a guy, he's the head of a company, I'm just a stupid insignificant girl working as a bunny... what do I know. Well. I've been in SL for years and I know what works and what doesn't work.

Playboy needed/needs to bomb that build and start over. Build the mansion. With gates. You arrive at the gates and are greeted by a bunny who then escorts you to the mansion itself. With night lighting and a pool with underwater lighting. The grotto is there too.. in all its glory. There are bunnies, with trays of drinks doing the 'bunny dip' and actually conversing with you like they have half a brain in their heads. There's fantastic live music, and an exclusivity and sense of style you can't get anywhere else in SL. The mansion includes many rooms for socializing and perhaps even some for merchandise - but this merchandise is priced competitively and is well crafted. This would work and this would make Playboy something special.

I'm no longer a bunny and frankly, I don't miss it.

Arse Electronica and Fuckzilla - yum.

2007-10-11T17:20:00.000-07:00

Arse Electronica - a conference about porn and tech was held recently in San Francisco. I wish I could have gone, but instead I'm going to live vicariously through other people's experiences, blogs, and photos.

Two of the coolest things I've read about from Arse Electronica were 'Moaning Lisa' and 'Fuckzilla'. Moaning Lisa was a mannequin wired so that if you touched her in certain erogenous zones she would moan in response. Cool shit that could perhaps be used as a training tool for men who just don't 'get it', but my guess is that most men visiting Arse Electronica probably 'get it'.

"Fuckzilla" was a robot fucking machine. They asked for volunteers to be fucked by a robot and one lucky girl was placed on a table behind a sheet and had the experience of a lifetime ending in a tremendous orgasm and an ejaculation seen from behind and above the sheet thanks to Fuckzilla.

Sounds like a great conference to me.

Hot new tattoo shop in Stone Hill

2007-10-08T18:01:00.001-07:00

Ms. Dorothy Rochefort (a close friend) has just opened an amazingly hot new tattoo shop in the sim of Stone Hill. The shop was designed and built by Micala Lumiere, and Dorothy will be offering custom tattoo work. She does also have a limited selection for purchase, specifically one designed for the sim of "Mill Pond" available for purchase only at "DOT Ink".

Stop by if you get a chance.. it's a hot shop and she's a great artist.

Calling All Sexy People... I need your help!

2007-10-04T15:19:00.000-07:00

I'm putting together a community art project about sex in online communities and part of the project is getting input from people that are actually *having* sex in online communities.. so here's what I need from you, sweeties..

One audio file (mp3) of your voice. I'd prefer to have the audio file be of an orgasm that you've recorded yourself having, but any heavy breathing, sexy noises, or just spoken 'sexy' words will all be used in this project.

The project will be a video of sex in SL, along with captured 'text' conversations (names deleted and/or changed) with the anonymous audio files as the soundtrack for the video project.

This only works if people participate, so help me out here people... email your mp3s to pixelbailey@gmail.com.

Sweet, Sweet Jesus

2007-09-27T13:42:00.000-07:00

I think I'm a pretty sexual girl and not afraid of trying new things or being 'disgusted' or 'grossed out' by some things that people might think are 'weird' or 'different'. I'm all about the masturbation and I embrace my sexuality like it was my lifeline to this world. I love erotic art and erotic fiction and I think the sex in Second Life is fantabulous.

All in all, I enjoy sex, I enjoy doing different things and learning about different things. I think that even if a certain aspect of sex isn't your 'thing' there's no reason not to at least respect that some other people have an interest in it and maybe try to understand.

I've read a lot of erotic fiction, and I have watched a *lot* of porn. I love it and sometimes I can't get enough. In my porn watching, I have always been completely fascinated with women that were able to ejaculate, because it was never something I had experienced. I loved watching them, and seeing that release and the look in their faces. I loved the physicality of that gushing liquid and seeing those juices pooled up around them. I wanted that.. if only once, just to experience what that must be like.

I spent years reading about it, watching videos, studying the technique, learning how to accomplish this amazing feat. As the months passed, I became more and more frustrated that my g-spot was not cooperating with me and although I could get wetter than the amazon, I was never able to squirt my own come across the room. I tried and I tried. I did exactly what those books, articles, and advice columns said to do - but no go.

Until today. Today, during a routine and typical masturbatory session, as I neared the point of orgasm, my beautiful, cooperative g-spot loved me like it has never loved me before, and for the first time, Ms. Pixel Bailey gushed her gorgeous juices all over the place. I was so shocked that this had finally happened for me that I laid there on the floor, laughing and laughing, so amazingly proud of myself that I could hardly stand it. After basking in the glow for a few minutes, I collected myself, cleaned up and sighed a very happy sigh.

After about 20 minutes, I started thinking that perhaps this new talent was a one-time deal. A fluke. Never to happen again. I started to worry. I decided that I should probably give it another 'go' just to see - to make sure.

It wasn't a fluke, and Pixel Bailey is a new woman.

Sexstination #14 - House of V

2007-09-27T13:34:00.000-07:00

Upon recommendation, I went and visited the House of V today. The jury's still out for me - I can't decide how I feel about this place.

It's really large.. a whole sim, and it's interesting, and different. There are different 'areas' and I like that. There's a large shopping area, a big castle-looking club where I saw people dancing and engaging in BDSM activities. There are also other smaller 'outbuildings' with many rooms and private sex spots which is nice. Another interesting thing is the giant maze they've built with the optional 'prey' and 'predator' armbands you can wear.

All that said, I'm still feeling a little 'eh' about it. Maybe it's that everything didn't all seem to flow into a cohesive 'theme' for me. We had the shopping area, the maze, the castle looking thing, a big 'gothic house' and then these smaller outbuildings. There were also some other larger looking buildings off to the size that looked like some cross between "I Dream of Jeannie" and some science-fiction town.

I think the idea is great, but it seemed a little surreal for me to watch women on their knees in a BDSM pose right beside some couple doing the 'hot salsa'. I'd like to see it more all in theme.

All in all, decent job.. and my new rating system... we'll give House of V:
XXx (2 and a 1/2)

my newest girl crush

2007-09-27T10:32:00.000-07:00

I've fallen in love, my lovelies. Her name is Ashley Blue and she's DIRTY, DIRTY, DIRTY. I love that. She's not scared of posting naked photos of herself, she's not scared of talking about her personal life, and damnit she's not scared of chugging mouthfuls of Dave's piss.

Frankly I'm tired of the notion that being sexual is bad, or that if you're a sexual person and not afraid to admit it that you're a 'whore' or somehow not as good as everyone else. I'm tired of people looking down on people that are sexy, sexual and just want to do something that feels amazingly freaking good.

Meet my new girlfriend, Ashley.

Who needs a 'nerd auction' when you have SL?

2007-09-26T11:29:00.000-07:00

From CNN today, students in a computer club at Washington State University are planning to auction off their computer skills for 'makeover' help and hopefully a date with a lovely sorority girl.

Listen up nerds... do not ever, EVER change yourself or have a 'makeover' in the hopes that you MIGHT get to date a sorority girl. What are you thinking? *smack upside the head*

Instead my lovely geeky friends, get yourself an account in Second Life, jazz up that avatar and make him *HOT*.. then start marketing your amazing computer skills (girls love guys with skills, even if they aren't bow-hunting skills) and then just watch the girls come your way.

You do not need to change, you do not need a makeover, and you do NOT need a date with a sorority girl to make you feel better about yourselves. Nerdy is beautiful, embrace it.

King (or is that Queen) of the World

2007-09-26T10:49:00.001-07:00

Seems the "King of the World" game in China has banned all accounts of men playing as female characters and now requires players to "validate" their gender via webcam in order to play a female, according to an article posted at boingboing.

God, where do I begin.

I'd guess they'd need to see more than just your face to do this. Would breasts be enough? Would they need to be clothed or naked? Would they require 'genital' validation via webcam, and if so.. how are they proving that you are still who you say you are? Flash your photo ID and then drop your pants all in the same frame? No idea. This is wack.

And.. AND.. why only females? Is it ok for women to portray a man in the game? Does he/she need to provide proof that he really is a male?

I think the gamers just want to see how easily they can get the girls to get naked.

I propose that all the women playing the game simply choose to be a male character and then engage in sexual behavior with all the other men in-game. Maybe you can bond together and wear something in-game to identify you as a female without the knowledge of the game creators. FIND A WORK-AROUND PEOPLE. Don't let those idiots FORCE you into proving you're a female! Tell them to kiss your ass and then turn the tables.

Suck my virtual dick, assholes.

Do you think it's real?

2007-09-20T05:10:00.000-07:00

I've had some people ask me recently if I think that sex in Second Life (or anywhere else that's considered an 'online' environment - chatrooms, etc) is "real". My emphatic answer was immediately 'yes', but now I'm wondering how other people feel.

My 'online' days started years and years and years ago on IRC (DALnet, woo!) in one little chatroom and let me assure you, there was a lot of sex going on there as well. Second Life is not the first time people have had sex online, despite what some articles may have you think (oooo, people are being unfaithful online! It's the devil himself at work!). Second Life brings a 'visual' to it, that's for sure, but the underlying effect is still the same.

I am personally not the kind of person that can separate their online and offline lives. One is part of the other for me, and I also truly believe that my online identity helped shape the person I've become and also gave me the strength to make some amazingly powerful changes in my life. I've met dozens and dozes of 'online' friends in offline meetings, parties, and get-togethers and every single time I've been amazed at how perfectly at ease I've felt with the person when meeting them for the first time in the 'physical' world. You get to know someone online in very different ways than if you met that person offline. It's as though online environments are some sort of microscope into a person's psyche and it's truly amazing (and in my mind, incredibly fantastic) that you can know so much about a person just from watching the mannerisms of their avatar, their punctuation, or their grammar.

I've met people recently that think it's just 'incredibly interesting' that I meet people offline that I met initially online when to me.. this is just part of who I am and what I've done for years. For the life of me I can't grasp why it's so fascinating or 'weird' to people. With all the ways to meet people online these days- IRC, Second Life, message boards, forums, chatrooms, and God knows how many websites are now dedicated to hooking people up - why is it still so 'weird' to some people?

What about you? Are you the kind of person that can separate your online and offline lives? Have you met people in person that you met online first? Have you felt that incredibly strong connection with someone you've just recently met online? Have you taken online sex into the 'real world'? Or are you one of those people that just think it's 'weird'?

Turned on by a fortune cookie....

2007-09-19T10:22:00.000-07:00

Had some lovely Chinese food for lunch today and when the meal was over and our fortunes delivered, one of the fortunes at our table was as follows:

"Coming afternoon there will be an important meeting in the south."

That's a erotic fortune right there. Not only is that some sort of mysterious way of saying 'someone's getting sex later today' but.. the delivery mechanism itself (the cookie) is an incredibly 'labial' creation as well.

I need to have Chinese food for lunch more often.

Product Review - Guest Post!

2007-09-18T08:44:00.000-07:00

One of my loyal readers emailed me with some incredibly detailed and in my mind, pretty freaking impressive, product reviews of sex beds/rugs/etc in Second Life. With her permission, I'm posting her reviews here, in their entirety.

Product review by Tatiana Lytton:

Chantal's - the ones everyone gets in their rental apartments. Feh. Uninspired. By current standards of animation, very lacking. Even the newer models, at about 4500L, with the horrible porny built-in sounds are feh, with unimpressive animations. No experience with customer service.

Devpose. Much better. Limited numbers of animations, and position adjustment stinks, but miles ahead of Chantal. Customer service is spotty, but helpful, when you can get hold of them. Their distinct bias towards BDSM can be off-putting, but the vanilla version at 1900L is lovely as a first sl bed.

Neva Naughty - pretty good! The attachable sexx drive is rather a bomb, and not worth the huge price, but the snuggles are good, and the love poses are nice, if not the most engaging. They replaced a lost, and rather expensive item very readily when it vanished during the "don't rez things" bug period. I bought a hammock with most of their nicest stuff built in recently for 900L. Recommended.

Strokerz Sexgen - why do these cost so damn much? 12000L? Yeah, the do a lot, but the animations seem dated. Between Chantal and Devpose. The menus are very awkward.

Pondlife. Wonderful stuff. Best cuddles and kisses in the biz. The Deluxe Friends and Lover's blanket costs a bomb, about 3500L, but is totally worth it. Wonderful. Adjusting positions on the blankets is a snap, but on the very impressive new Boden bed (7000L!!) seems nearly impossible without real determination. Still wonderful. Very nice Asian versions of their furniture as well. Eladon Galsworthy sets the standard for best customer service - he's replaced items twice now that were lost during service glitches. Friendly, always ready to help with product advice.

Lover's Playground - the current state of the art. Outstanding. Astonishing when first encountered, some of the animations are amazing. The packaging is great, too - the big circular (Gorean?) curtained beds create a lovely atmosphere of decadent luxury, and the rug choices are great. Did they have to kill all those polar bears? There's a sex kitchen, a Love Bug VW - quite creative. Top of the line is 6000L, and for a visual type of sl love person, probably completely justified. Comes equipped with a cute and useful box of toys. Customer service is good, Lionna Dumouriez responds promptly and helpfully.

I'm a fan of at least some of the Xcite toys. I think they add a lot to the visual experience - I usually turn off the silly dialogue though. A pretty, appropriately tinted, adjustable-tilt penis is so much more fun than some crude schlong device that comes out one's back in the throes of virtual passion. Combined with a really nice bed from Lover's Playground - the experience can be wonderful.

Where are the virtual abortion clinics?

2007-09-15T15:09:00.000-07:00

Search for 'pregnancy' in Second Life and you're presented with dozens of options. Looking for a pregnancy shape? Some baby furniture to outfit your darling one's nursery? Some maternity clothes to keep you looking your best while you're waiting for your bundle of joy to arrive? Well, you can find it and you can find a lot of it.

But, search for abortion.. and you get nothing. There are four people (at last search) with 'abortion' as part of their avatar name, but that's it. Nothing else.

Now, you and I both know that not everyone that 'decides' to get pregnant in Second Life actually goes through with all of it and has that baby and then takes care of it. Seems to me there's a lot of dumpster dumping of babies in Second Life that no one's talking about. Babies can suffocate if they're left in your inventory, you know.

So with all of these pregnancies that didn't manage to end in a 'birth' at one of the many birthing clinics in Second Life it just seems to me that maybe we need to create an abortion clinic where people can go and just 'officially' end the pregnancy .. in the open.. with no regrets .. instead of just tucking that belly or prim baby into your inventory under layers and layers of 'objects' and random clothing articles that you never had time to organize.

Second Life is literally, technically and truly all 'pro-choice'. Everything you do in this world is something you've chosen to do. No one can force you to chat, to listen, or to have sex. No one can 'accidentally' get pregnant or raped without their consent.. so, it only seems reasonable that we give people a pro-choice way to end these virtual pregnancies.

Maybe we need an abortion clinic.

This is what customer service should be...

2007-09-11T10:39:00.000-07:00

Pay attention Lindens, because you could use some customer service skills.

After my most recent blog post regarding the rude people I encountered at Sensual Stoneworks, I've had several lovely messages offering to give me a tour of the area, apologizing for the rudeness I encountered and really making a concerted effort to discuss my experience.

As a follow-up, I do want to say that the people I encountered there yesterday were not affiliated (as far as I can tell) with Sensual Stoneworks but were just randomly there, spending time and harassing those of us that had our goal set on getting that sweet baby unicorn. I'm very much looking forward to going back to Sensual Stoneworks for the tour and a discussion with the owners, and I'll be sure to blog about my experience.

That's what customer service is all about.

Send baby gifts, I'm the proud parent of a baby unicorn!

2007-09-10T14:54:00.000-07:00

Ok so after being told about this article on boingboing, I had to have one.

According to the boingboing article, there was a unicorn at Sensual Stoneworks in Second Life that would give you a baby unicorn, but that catch was that you had to have sex with it to get it.

Sensual Stoneworks is, from what I could tell, quite a bestiality haven (who knew!). I saw some plants, some spiders, and of course unicorns all just waiting to have sex with anyone that wanted to use them.

I will say right up front that the whole 'sex with animals' thing just isn't something that creeps me out, so I was totally up for getting a baby unicorn (it's so freaking cute!). I will also say that the vast majority of people I have ever had occasion to deal with in Second Life are the most open-minded, really kind people you'll ever meet. Today was the exception to that rule.

When I got to Sensual Stoneworks and said hi to everyone. I then asked where this magical unicorn was. The people were mean, rude, and generally obnoxious, truly. I was shocked. I've never met people like that in Second Life and let's face it darlings.. if you're spending your time fucking mutant venus flytrap plants in a stone pit we really needn't be throwing stones, hmm?

Anyway - after telling my lovely friends that they were all assholes, I managed to do a lot of clicking, get the poseball I needed to show up (it's 'checkmate', btw) I got my baby unicorn. You do have to be patient and let the unicorn use you for a couple minutes, but you'll be rewarded in the end.

real dolls vs. avatars

2007-09-07T19:14:00.001-07:00

Recently one of my fav bloggers, Violet Blue, blogged about 'real dolls' and I've been hearing a lot about these lovely ladies recently in other arenas. If you're not familiar with real dolls, they're amazingly lifelike silicone sex dolls. Violet blogged that MGM is making a movie about relationships with sex dolls, but what I found most interesting was another post I'd read about an artist using sex dolls in her work.

Because I'm also an artist dealing with sexuality and sexual relationships, I found what Amber Hank Swanson is doing of particular interest. Quoting from an article in the Chicago Reader, "...Swanson began talking to more women and by 2005 she herself was in front of the camera. “Feminism?” consists of ten shorts in which she quotes from interview transcripts while participating in her own objectification. One short, Not a Feminist Way of Thinking: Daddy’s Little Girl, recreates a scene from Lolita; in it Swanson’s real-life father paints her toenails. Two others, That’s Deep and That’s Deep Again, show Swanson being penetrated from behind—in one video by a man, in the other by a woman—while repeating “That’s deep,” one woman’s answer to her final question. “I was interested in the cultural phenomenon of young women rejecting feminism,” Swanson says. “In some ways I took on the character of a young woman doing so—either rejecting feminism or being naive about it.” ". Swanson's latest project, "... has put Amber Doll to use in a project exploring the interplay between fantasy and reality in sexual relationships. The finished work, which is still untitled, will contrast stills of intimate “partnership” scenes with video reenactments of rape scenes from movies such as Irreversible and The Accused. Unlike “Feminism?” which spoofed sexualized depictions of women in popular culture, Swanson’s latest videos are meant to mimic them as closely as possible—with one main departure. In the rape scene reenactments, both Swanson and Amber Doll will be dressed as the victim in the film. She gets most of her costumes from Forever 21 and H&M, including dresses similar to the one worn by Monica Bellucci in Irreversible. “These places had the majority of the ‘asking for it’ outfits I was looking for,” she explains."

So then I started wondering just how much our avatars in Second Life really function as a 'real doll'. Whether you're into the BDSM scene, or allowing someone to humiliate you, or rape you, or 'use' you in a roleplaying scenario.. how much of that is actually *you* allowing it, or are you in essence doing exactly what Amber has done in her work? Are you using your avatar, as a second 'you' in a sense and allowing him or her to experience those things while giving yourself some 'distance' from the scene, or do you feel a connection to your avatar that negates that distance? Are you able to have these sexual experiences that involve humiliation and torture without logging off with some residual esteem issues?

I think we're all participating and observing in online sex for our own reasons and I think those reasons vary greatly from person to person, but it really is interesting to take a step back once in a while and think about why we do, act, or roleplay certain scenarios and what that means to our 'physical' selves.

poem on the wall

2007-09-06T06:30:00.001-07:00

today's poem, taken from my 'artists' version of magnetic poetry - on my magnet board in front of my desk:

who said that when you scream
I'd have to suffer for the song

your instrument is a canvas
on which metaphors are composed

my absurd white masterpiece breaks with raw passion
as she balances more paint on her glorious nude silhouette

i see every smeared stroke and my angel, drunk like water
was deep in psychedelic death

performing her original drug, experimenting with my joy
as I drift away

Get me excited about 'XCite'

2007-09-03T11:34:00.001-07:00

Ok friends, here's your chance to give me some input and advice.

When it comes to sex in online environments, I've always been a bit of a purist. I think in some ways it's also been my way of 'weeding out' the people I'd never want to be involved with. If you can't spell, you're not my kind of partner. Sorry. I know it sounds a bit snooty, but I'm a stickler for spelling and grammar so there you have it.

Anyway. I know that about a blazillion people in SL use the "XCite" products. Scripted clits, cocks, nipples, etc. that allow you to interact with other people without actually having to SPELL anything yourself.

I like to think of myself as a very open-minded girl, but I don't get it. I went to the XCite store the other day to look around and see what I'm missing, but I left the store thinking that I needed some additional advice and input from my readers. I don't understand why I need my clit to speak for me. Am I too busy touching myself to type? Am I not a great speller and this is just easier? Is it because it brings another level of intimacy because they're controlled by your partner? Help me understand - I honestly need to understand why this is so popular in Second Life - what am I missing?

Sexstination #13 - Dark Bliss Dungeon and Club

2007-09-03T11:24:00.000-07:00

You never know what you're going to find when you start searching for sexy spots to explore in Second Life, so today when I teleported to the Dark Bliss Dungeon and Club, I was anxious to see what I'd find. I must say that this girl was pleasantly surprised.

Dark Bliss is a multi-level, multi-room, sexy people's dream place. From what I could tell, there's something for everyone, including the obligatory 'bathroom' scene, but with a better bathroom than I've seen in a few other places.

I was a little confused when I first got there, because there's one large room and you think that's all there is. There's a red, semi-transparent curtain with some vendors behind it selling fetishwear and BDSM equipment. I was happy with the 'feel' of the club and yet a little disappointed that it wasn't larger (but it's not about size, right?). I was, however, very very mistaken in my initial assumption that this was a small, one room club. Oh no my sexy friends, there's much more to the Dark Bliss than one room.

I'm a 'camming' fiend, and I'm constantly camming around to see behind walls - I guess it's the voyeur in me - but in doing so, I found all of these other rooms that are part of the club. I did, at a later point, notice the teleportation system from room to room, but I was having more fun just camming into a room and then 'sitting' on a poseball to enter. It's a sneaky thing to do, and one reason that 'locking doors' in Second Life are a complete joke.

Anyway, there are bunches of rooms on many levels here. It's not a super crowded club, but there were several people that I ran into during my visit. It does seem to be extremely popular with the European crowd which is something I haven't noticed a lot of in the other clubs I've mentioned.

The Dark Bliss Dungeon and Club in Hubbard is a fantastic spot with a warm, rich feel. Deep red curtains, lots of large beds, poseball carpets all around, and even a dance area make this a club that has moved onto my list of favorites.

Nicely done.

Sexstination #12 - Twisted Orchid Fetish and BDSM Club

2007-08-31T17:12:00.000-07:00

If you're looking for a classy escort club with a Polynesian them - look no further because the Twisted Orchid Fetish and BDSM Club is the place for you.

After perusing the club from the overhead loft area with a very sturdy safety railing to keep us laggy/clumsy people from tumbling to our deaths onto the club dancers, I wandered around the main level to see what glorious sexy things this club had to offer.

Most of the clubs I've reviewed and visited were very large areas with pretty blatant sexual overtones, but this one was different. In fact at first I was a little confused by it. Twisted Orchid has a raised dance area with poles and chairs and lovely dancers there for you. There are no poseballs scattered about here. No BDSM equipment just sitting around in the main area, and no guys running around with prim penises so large that you're afraid they're going to lose their balance and topple over onto the floor.

This club is a club with escorts for hire and that immediately puts a whole different spin on things. It feels like a combination of a ski lodge and a Polynesian oasis, and yet somehow it works. There's a fetish mall attached just in case you need to dodge off for a last minute item, and there are even free hair, skins, and BDSM equipment available. Also if any of you sexy ladies are looking for a job, Twisted Orchid is hiring for several positions so stop by.

The pricing and 'menu' options at Twisted Orchid are posted on the wall there, so you know what you want and can budget accordingly. Some examples:
Lapdance (5 minutes)L$250, Lesbian Orgy (2 girls) (is it really an orgy with only two girls?).. anyway.. the orgy will cost you L$2400 for 30 minutes and L$4000 for 60 minutes. Need more girls to really make it an orgy worth having? That'll cost you an additional L$1200 per girl, per 30 minutes.

Start saving up those lindens darlings, and if you end up at Twisted Orchid with those lindens burning a hole in your pocket.. my money's on Tracey Mills - she's a hottie and those kisses she was blowing me while I was there were just a glimpse of what she's all about.

it is not your imagination

2007-08-28T14:09:00.000-07:00

I was reading the 2nd Sex Blog by Lillie Yifu and she mentions this posting by Slate talking about infidelity in Second Life.

Lillie's discussed this in her blog post, but I wanted to add my own spin on this as well.

Newsflash here peeps.. Second Life is not the only place where people are being unfaithful. This has been happening for many, many years in online communities. Since those first days of AOL, since bulletin boards and all those games of L.O.R.D. when people started sleeping with the barmaid to earn points, since IRC and chatrooms, and match.com people have been cheating with others, experimenting, and learning more about themselves.

So, let's not blame Second Life. If there's blame to be placed here, then let's blame technology for connecting us with people all over the world that we would never have met without the internet. Let's blame technology for giving us new and exciting ways to learn about sex, and sexual satisfaction. Let's blame technology for allowing us to rethink our perspectives and experiment with our sexuality.

I think it's fantastic that we have these outlets. I don't think it's a bad thing that people are meeting other people and having sex online. I firmly believe that if someone is completely and truly content in their relationships, they won't leave simply because the Gods of technology have placed a gorgeous avatar on their screen who's willing to suck their dick as often and as hard as they want it sucked.

I also think that having these outlets that allow us to experiment and explore our sexuality is a *good* thing. For the life of me I will never understand why people think that being curious, experimenting and learning more about their sexual preferences is a bad thing. It's a GREAT thing. We should be counting our lucky stars that we have the ability to learn and experiment in this environment. No one's getting pregnant, catching an STD or dying from AIDS because they experimented with sex in a virtual environment.

If people are being unfaithful in their first relationships because of someone they met online, then there's more at issue here than an 'imaginary girlfriend' and don't even get me STARTED on whether or not these online relationships are real. They *are* real. There are real feelings, real people, and real passion involved. If you're losing your loved one to someone they met online, then it's time to take a step back, evaluate your relationship and make some hard choices.

Interview with a pony girl

2007-08-27T18:14:00.000-07:00

I had the chance to speak with a girl today who's living life as a pony here in SL. I was curious as to why she chose to be a pony and roleplay that here.

When we first started chatting, she was really still roleplaying even though I told her that I wasn't so into it and that I'd just like to talk normally without that. It seemed difficult for her to break the role. She mentioned that because she chose to live as a pony, the people she generally associated with were only interested in having her play that role, or were so shocked at her appearance that they chose not to speak with her at all.

I asked her why she was choosing to live and roleplay as a pony here, and she mentioned her interest in D/s (Dominance/submission) serving as a pet to her Master/Mistress, and the appeal that had for her. I was curious as to why she chose to experiment and explore D/s as a pony and not as a woman or man, and her answer was something that I hadn't really considered before. She said that as a pony, Second Life becomes more specific for her.. more focused. She said that she has very little responsibilities and more limits this way. I can absolutely respect that. I think that in an environment that allows for so much sexual exploration and experimentation, choosing to be something completely out of the norm, out of your comfort zone is a challenge in itself, but to actually put thought into it and live within the boundaries that you've set for yourself is really empowering in its own way.

I had a professor that once told me "it's within boundaries and limits that you find true freedom". At the time I thought 'yeah right', but I honestly do think that's the case. Second Life can be unbelievably overwhelming if you have no goals, nothing to achieve, and nothing to be involved with. Giving yourself a 'role' to play makes things easier to understand, and serves a purpose.

So, the next time you see someone roleplaying something you might not understand in Second Life, take a second to chat with them and learn a bit.

Sexstination #11 - Bondage Ranch

2007-08-26T07:38:00.000-07:00

On the recommendation of several friends, I saddled up and paid a visit to the Bondage Ranch.

I spent several minutes reading the rules and checking out the arrival area when I got there. Lots of information to be had, and the last thing I wanted to do was be banned from the ranch, so I wanted to be sure I knew the expectations before I ventured onto the ranch itself. There were no rules that were out of the ordinary, they all basically boiled down to 'don't act like an ass'.

The 'ranch' itself really does look like a fairly good representation of a ranch with a large barn, ranch house and expansive open land. I did see one chick on a horse, but as far as animals go, that was about it. There are a few very large circular walkways with lots of different 'equipment' spaced around. There were a lot of people around, but I honestly didn't see a lot of sex going on, just a lot of people standing around, presumably in a private conversation with someone.

There's a lot more to 'Bondage Ranch' than just this area, though. There are many different themed areas to choose from including the Doctor's Office, Scandinavian Fetish Dungeon, Kidnapper's Warehouse, Gerstle Bay Stables, Mystical Bondage, Bondage Playground and a few others.

My first visit to an alternate area was the 'Castle and Village'. To me that seemed very dark and interesting because I was picturing an area with some rough looking villagers hiding around corners or down alleys waiting for a new visitor to pass by. When in reality I was teleported to a big castle - The Damsel Island Bondage Mall. Bluh. I left there, wandered around a bit, and ended up at the Dragon's Den Club. I like to be a girl that keeps an open-mind, and I hate to be negative but this club has to be in the running for the most horrificly ugly club in all of Second Life. I understand the 'dark' theme and idea of creating a bondage-themed club, but come on people. Grey textures, metal grates and flowing, dumb-looking lava are not going to accomplish your objectives. We can do better than this.

After that disappointing adventure, I decided to visit the Doctor's Office - who can help but be aroused at the thought of that yearly gynecological exam all of us women have to endure. I'm wet just thinking about it. The Doctor's Office was just one building with a lot of medical equipment in it - several of which looked like they belonged on the Star Trek Enterprise. There was also a 'ground sex' poseball which I thought was very fitting - I'm constantly having sex on the ground in my doctor's office. Thank God someone thought to include it here.

My next stop was the 'Scandinavian Fetish Dungeon'. I have yet to understand what made it Scandinavian, but it was a small 'underground' feeling room with a sunken love pit and some other equipment. I personally feel that calling it a Scandinavian Fetish Dungeon was a bit of a stretch, but we all tend to exaggerate a bit in Second Life, don't we?

So as a wrap-up, I'm glad I had some people tell me to review the Bondage Ranch, but I'm afraid it didn't live up to my expectations. I had really hoped for a higher quality than what I found. Flashing textures, improper scale, and haphazard placement of objects with no real thought given to creating a cohesive sex playground were things that disappointed me. I loved the idea of making different themed areas, but it's got to be pulled off better than this. I didn't get to visit all of the places, and maybe some of the others are done better than what I saw, but somehow I doubt it.

Sexstination #10 - Bound and Determined Fetish Club

2007-08-19T14:06:00.001-07:00

Fetishists and sexy people, today is your lucky day. The Bound and Determined Fetish Club in Second Life is just waiting for you to come and enjoy.

After doing a search for "BDSM" last night, I arrived at this club not knowing what to expect. As you know, some of the sex sites in Second Life are not of the highest quality and tend to leave a girl feeling dirty.. and not in the good 'dirty' way.

I half expected to arrive and be presented with some rules, but there was nothing of the sort. I was, however, amazed at the number of people that were in this club. My last few visits to sex spots were a tad on the quiet side without a lot of other people around. This club is active with 56 people on the sim while I was visiting.

You arrive into a very large room with several little side areas separated into different themes. One was 'Femme on Femme', I think I saw two "BDSM" designated areas, a "Back Alley", a "Cum Play" area, "Group Area" and for all you toilet fetish lovers.. a designated "Bathroom" area. The center of the room is comprised of a few 'living room' areas and one features 'exhibitionists' with an area where you can take advantage of some masturbatory aids while your lover/friend/casual acquaintance watches you.

I noticed some unique poseballs here that I haven't seen before including: "captive blowjob", "facehump", "jackme", and "fuckherthroat". How's that for a selection of sexual adventures? Believe me, this is just the beginning.

The "Back Alley" area was the most interesting spot to me, I think because of the feel of the area. It felt as though some thought was actually given to the design of the space and I gotta say.. they pulled it off pretty well.

I think some people feel a bit intimidated to come to places like this in Second Life if you've never been there before. I think it's important to explore and see what's out there - remember, anytime you feel intimidated in Second Life, you have the power to change that. You're in charge of your experience, not anyone else. If you arrive somewhere and are uncomfortable, just leave. Teleport somewhere else. No one has power over you unless you allow it. When I arrived last night and was wandering around the area, I was IM'd by a Second Life resident who said nothing more to me than "Come stand beside me. I won't ask twice." Being the sassy girl I am, I preceded to tell my new friend, "I will not come and stand beside you. I'm busy exploring.". She then replied "as you wish, bye.".

I also noticed this same person wandering around the room being very insulting and demeaning to several people in public chat, which I didn't find to be very appealing. BDSM is not about humiliating another person for your own self-esteem. It's not about bossing people around, or being insulting. BDSM is about mutual consent and respect. I think if you ignore some of the 'louder' people at this club, you may just find what you're looking for here. No matter what that is.

Sexstination #9 - Education UK - University of Plymouth

2007-08-13T16:43:00.000-07:00

I've been a bit ho-hum about sexual destinations in SL lately. It's not that I haven't been trying to find amazing places to share with you, it's just that every time I find one, I'm bored to tears before I even manage to take any notes about it.

So today I tried a different approach - sexual education. I decided to visit the University of Plymouth on the Education UK island in the hopes that because it was education, it might be interesting. I was mistaken.

Although I do applaud their attempt to provide sexual resources, I just feel like they don't 'get' it. It seems ridiculous to be presenting us with sexual education only applicable to the 'real' world, when we all know that sex in Second Life doesn't carry any risk of passing along any STD. There are free condom dispensers (why?), links to URLs providing information on contraception, and some lovely photos of what your genitals might end up looking like if you catch an STD from someone.

It seems to me (and dear God I hope this is the case) that anyone on the main grid of SL probably already knows about STDs and contraception. Perhaps this little informative area would be more appropriate on the teen grid where there are people that might still need the information.

So, nice try University of Plymouth and I thank you for your attempt at being open and discussing sexuality, but I think we might need to think outside the box on this a bit more (no pun intended).

A "Sexstination" Conversation

2007-07-20T18:54:00.000-07:00

I started out tonight with plans of exploring another sex-related spot in Second Life so that I could bring back all the necessary details to allow my readers to make an informed decision, but as we all know - sometimes plans change.

I actually did teleport to one spot but I was so disappointed in it I refused to blog about it. Yes, it was that bad.

After that, I decided to try once more and teleported to the "Cumslut Cafe", and that's where today's discussion begins.

I've been to several sex-related spots and I've had more than one discussion about sexuality and sex in a virtual environment, but I was not at all prepared for what I was about to encounter in the Red Light District at the Cumslut Cafe. I'll save the review of the Cafe for another time, but suffice it to say that it was definitely an interesting thing. The most interesting thing, however, is that I only saw ONE person actually IN the Cumslut Cafe and she was camping on a sex toy trying to earn lindens. I considered it just for the sheer enjoyment, but there was a sign saying you had to be naked if you were 'on stage' and I'd just gotten dressed, so screw that.

When you teleport to the Cafe, you'll land in a courtyard area outside the cafe itself. This area is where everyone congregates, and it was crowded when I was there. I was a little disoriented, because there are people everywhere, but no one speaks. Took me just a minute to realize that 90% of the people in this courtyard define themselves as escorts or prostitutes and are just there hoping to be hired by someone.

Now I've seen escorts before, in clubs and other sex spots, but never like this. It was an eerie sort of quiet there, so of course I broke the ice by asking who liked peanut butter. Seemed as good a question as any in this spot.

Once people started talking, I was able to ask some more relevant questions about how things worked there. I have to say, that I was amazed. Lots of girls there, each with their own 'look', their own rates, their own 'thing' going on, but no cattiness, no fighting, no one trying to 'beat out' anyone else. Just standing there, with no one saying a word, you could feel that there was respect - which might seem a bit silly to say in a spot like that, but it's true. Everyone was there respecting what everyone else did, no one judging anyone, no one putting anyone down. It was good.

I was able to chat with a few folks including one fantastically wonderful escort that has agreed to let me interview her in the near future about her experiences. I'm really looking forward to speaking with her and getting her viewpoints and her story.

I think that not only in Second Life, but in online communities in general, it's fascinating to think that every single person you see has a unique and interesting story to tell. All there for different reasons, but I bet there are a lot more similarities that we might think initially. I can't wait to continue this conversation with my new friend, but until then.. if you visit the Cumslut Cafe, go ahead and strike up a conversation, there are some great people there.

Sexstination #8 - Masturbation Station

2007-07-14T13:32:00.001-07:00

Today my sexy train pulled into the Masturbation Station in Goangeo and although I didn't see any redcaps anywhere, I managed to find my way around the station on my own.

The "Masturbation Station" is actually a separate room off the 'Bound Club". You have to go into the club to get into the station which is no big deal.

The Bound Club is a very red-themed club with a dance floor and some pole dancing. Nothing too fantastic, but more your run-of-the-mill dance/sex club.

Off to the side, however, is our destination of choice - the Masturbation Station. When I first walked into the room, I have to say I was a bit disappointed. More 'blah' looking things without any real style or any thought given to the atmosphere. Sex clubs in SL could and SHOULD be *HOT* people. The color red alone does not make a club 'hot'. Trust me on this.

Anyway..

The 'station' has a pole to dance on, and a circle jerk area for women (from what I could tell) along with a sofa where your fabulous guys or girls can watch you dance or reach orgasm.

Off to the corner, another separate area for masturbation so if you wanted to get out of the craziness of the circle/pole area, this is another place to do it. There are some poseballs here that I tried out, but I ended up floating in the air while I was touching myself and that was a bit odd. Although I love that 'floating' or 'out of body' experience while I'm coming in the physical world, it's a little hard to get used to in the virtual world. Maybe that's something to experiment with or think about. Why DOES it seem better to masturbate on the ground? If you really stop and think about it, I bet it'd be amazing to do it floating in the air!

If you keep walking around the perimeter of the Masturbation Station, there's a chaise lounge sitting by itself. This has some LOVELY masturbatory animations in it, so I recommend taking a moment and giving this a shot. I enjoyed it.

I've saved the best for last, so here it is: The Sensual Mirror. This mirror's in the corner of the room and it says that you can look at yourself and choose what gender you'd like. I was intrigued. I stepped in front and choose 'male'. Your cam is rotated so that you're actually looking at yourself through the back of the mirror. The mirror then becomes transparent and you begin masturbating using gestures common to the gender you've chosen. *NICE*. This was brilliant. I stood there flipping back and forth between male and female for quite a while! This is one of the neatest little toys I've seen in a while and I loved everything about it.

Nothing says "Self-Love" like staring at yourself in a mirror and watching while you touch yourself. Been there, done that. You should too.

Sexstination #7 - Chase's 200m High Club

2007-07-09T17:28:00.000-07:00

Tonight we visit a skybox sex club called "Chase's 200m High Club". Now, if you're like me, you automatically think of an airplane themed sex club where people can truly live out their 'mile high' club fantasies. Lovely stewardesses (flight attendants, whatever) in snazzy uniforms with nasty short skirts just waiting for you.

Well, you'd be wrong. I know. I was disappointed too. If anyone out there has a sim and is looking for something snazzy to do with it.. build that. I'll be the pilot. Or the flight attendant.. either one.

Anyway, back to the 200m Club.

When you arrive, you teleport into a diner sort of area with stools and booths and straight in front of you is the sign with the 'Visitor Rules" for the Club. Very important rules such as "No Griefers" (whew, good thing we put that up. I bet all those griefers will turn and run now!) and "No serious age play" (which I gotta say, I was pleased to see. Those kid avs creep me out, too).

If you walk down the ramp into the club, you'll walk underneath a archway of balloons and into the club itself. It's a lot like most of the other sex places we've visited, although I do think that perhaps this one has a heavier lean on masturbation because I saw a lot of random dildos scattered about and there were a lot of 'masturbation' and 'watch' poseballs as well.

The club does have a pool area with a 'make love' poseball set on the diving board and some sofas to the right as you enter the club. If you continue past the sofa area, you'll see a larger room scattered with rugs. Here's where all the magic happens, I'd guess. There was a sunken lower area as well, and maybe that's more 'performance' oriented - at least it felt that way to me.

I only saw 4 people while I was there, so if you're looking for a nice private place to have sex or masturbate, this one might be a good choice for you. It's all free, so it's a pretty relaxed atmosphere and a LOT less crowded than the Free Sex/Orgy Room I mentioned previously.

There are also some shops up in the area where we arrived, but not many, so your time is better spent on the rugs releasing some tension.

naked on the internet

2007-06-30T19:43:00.001-07:00

That's an attention getter, eh? It's also the name of the latest book I've picked up on amazon.com. Naked on the Internet is a new book by Audacia Ray that examines female sexuality and the internet. I think it'll be a dreamy read. For those of you interested in this sort of thing, I highly recommend picking up this book. For everyone else, I'll let you know how it was after I finish reading it.

Thanks to Violet Blue for keepin all of us sexy people informed.

i'm looking for something in purple...

2007-06-27T18:11:00.000-07:00

Isn't it about time for a new vibrator? I thought so. We're heading over to Eden Fantasys (their spelling, not mine) right now to check out the selection.

Eden Fantasys is located in what might be the most fantabulously done treehouse in all of Second Life. Without a doubt the best treehouse I've seen. Not sure how sex toys end up in a treehouse, but we all did things as children that perhaps we shouldn't have so maybe a treehouse is a perfectly appropriate spot for some sexual experimentation. Who am I to say.

Anyway, back to the matter at hand. Sex toys. We need them.

Eden Fantasys has a WIDE variety of sex toys to choose from, but here's the twist. Not only can you buy genitalia, sexual equipment and poses for your avatar.. you can ALSO buy sex toys for your lovely physical self at their website. Now, here's where I'm going to say that I usually detest the marketing schemes of people directing people to out of world sales for your 'physical' self. To me Second Life is all about escaping the real world and anytime I'm linked back to a real website for a 'real' sale, I get irritated. It's disturbing to me to be jostled out of my virtual utopia and told that I should buy something in the physical world. Don't like it - not one little bit. If we're in a virtual environment, keep it here.

That being said.. Eden Fantasys is one place that's got it right. In the treehouse you're shown a myriad of sexual aids all created with prims: dildos, vibrators, etc. If you click on any of these, you are magically transported to the treehouse 'branch' that has these items for sale and you're presented with high-quality photos of each item. If you click on the item, you'll see it enlarged and then be asked if you'd like to be taken to the website where you can purchase it. As a girl who has shopped for her share of sex toys, I gotta say.. that I kind of dig this way of shopping. It's a bit more personal than the website, and I honestly wouldn't mind shopping for some real sex toys this way. Nice job you guys, nice job.

If you're shopping for that special penis or pussy for your avatar, they've got that covered to. Click on your sexual part of choice and be taken to a tree branch and surrounded by sculptured models wearing the parts you've chosen. Talk about a kid in a candy shop!

I think this place is beautifully done. The only issue I have is the spelling mistakes in the name and in their notecards, but .. I'm overly picky about stuff like that. When you're horny and shopping for sex toys, sometimes spelling properly isn't that important.

So if you need a new vibrator, dildo, or anything else sexual for you OR your avatar, come check out Eden Fantasys - you'll thank me later after you're done screaming my name.

oh yes.. the bunny suit is mine

2007-06-25T18:11:00.000-07:00

Well my lovelies, you're looking at the newest bunny on the scene. Playboy offered me the bunny suit today and there was no way I was turning that down.

I'll be working some evenings during the week between 4-6PM SL at the Playboy sim. If you're around and want to say hi.. that's when I'll be there. Probably a bit more on the weekends as time permits.

Thanks, Playboy.

Sexstination #6 - Hedonism

2007-06-24T04:43:00.000-07:00

On a tip from a friend, I went to visit Hedonism today. She suggested that I check out the Tiki Lounge there, but I found myself wandering around the entire sim to see everything.

When you arrive at Hedonism, the Tiki Lounge is directly in front of you and up a ramp to an elevated platform. The huge Tiki in front will guide your way so just go where he tells you. The Tiki Lounge is a large dance club and my friend informed me that it's often quite naughty, but I must say that on my visit, everyone was very calm and clothed. I must say I was a bit disappointed, but didn't let that stop me from enjoying myself a bit. There are also spiral ramps in the back of the club that lead you to a loft overlooking the dance floor and there are some 'casino' related games up there so if you're into that.. have at it. I loved the Tiki Lounge most for its tropical atmosphere. It's truly well done and does make you feel like some thought was put into the design, and hey isn't that refreshing.

After my little dancing moment at the Tiki Lounge, I was off to explore the rest of the island. A large (and I mean large) portion of Hedonism is dedicated to all of your sexy shopping needs. There are clothes, shapes, skins, animations, tattoos, and lots of other things included genitalia if you've just met that special someone and have no parts to make your first sexual encounter all it could be.

On the other side of the island, there's a fantastic beach area with a large campfire and lots of beach/lounge chairs. There are also some 'camping' spots, so if you need to make some cash you can do that here, and be surrounded by sexy people all at the same time! I also noticed a large 'Help Wanted" sign there, so if you're a DJ, hostess, dancer or poker dealer (who knew), you can get a real job here and stop wasting your time on that camping towel.

I must say that up to this point, I was feeling a smidgey bit sad that I really didn't see any places to get it on. In a place called 'Hedonism', a girl would think you'd at least be able to throw down with someone if the mood struck you. Then I walked down the beach a bit and breathed a sign of relief as I passed into a fenced area. Here we had a huge hot tub (although the 3-way poseball set in there is deceiving - it's just a snuggling pose), several sex poseball sets scattered a polite distance from each other and designated by a little cute, floaty, double-heart icon near them, and my favorite: the gazebo area with the cunnlingus poseball set in the center and a bunch of 'watch' poseballs around it in a circle. For those of us who enjoy being watched, I gotta say... bit of a turn-on. I did try it out, but when it's just you it's somehow not quite the same.

So my discovery of this area at Hedonsim restored my faith in the sexy. With a great dance club, tons of shopping, a fantastic beach, and sexy sexy spots.. Hedonism is worth a visit. Try out the cunnilingus poseballs - you never know who might be watching.

Sexstination #5 - Sensual Elements

2007-06-20T16:00:00.000-07:00

Sex spot of choice today - Sensual Elements in the GOL Project.

When you teleport to Sensual Elements, you arrive on a lovely wooden deck area in a wooded setting. To your right you'll notice some posted rules, one of which was 'No pictures". I considered trying to get around that by using the argument that they aren't actually 'pictures', but 'snapshots', but decided to obey the rules for once. I must say though, pictures would have been nice because it truly is a very picturesque setting and it would have been nice to let you all see it. I guess you'll just have to go visit yourselves.

There's a teleport on the right side of the wooden decking that takes you to the 'camping' area. Being the naive, foolish girl that I am.. in this wooden setting, for just an instant I thought that perhaps there actually *was* a campground with some facinatingly sexual undertones. Those pup tents can get pretty hot sometimes. But, alas, they actually meant 'camping' in SL terms. Being the curious sort, I teleported up to the camping area and was terribly disappointed. A large platform in the sky, not disguised as anything else, with a large sign and dozens of people perched on the sign, or standing around waiting for a coveted spot SITTING on the sign to make a whopping few lindens every 15 minutes. Maybe this is just me, but if you're running a sex-related sim empire, toss in some free sex poseball sets and make people earn their money in the camping area. At least then those of us waiting for our turn would be somewhat entertained.

The Sensual Elements "Club" area is just down the wooden walkway from where we arrived. The club has a board outside with all of the events for the day posted on it. There were quite a few listed for today including a Catsuit Leather Dance Party! Meeee-YOW! The club features a very large dance floor with dance cages, a bar, and a DJ setup/stage area. One side of the club features live, nude dancers looking for some tips, so if you visit, give it up for the girls. If you're looking for an escort to make your time in Second Life all that you've dreamed it could be, this is a great spot to find one as they've dedicated an entire room to photo after photo of escorts available to make all of your dreams come true.

Not far from the club is another large building called the "Elements Lounge" and for all of you sexual entrepreneurs just looking to make your mark, this building is for SALE! I must say, I was relatively impressed with the inside. Very colorful, fun and fairly well done. It could be nice and has potential. Check it out.

The GOL Project doesn't neglect those of you looking for a shopping fix, either.. oh no my friend. There are many shops too including one of my favorites.. Nocturnal Threads. I think I like that one so much because it always makes me think of sheets after someone has a wet dream. Not to mention, their clothes are crazy, funky, fun. Dig them. Another item of note in the shopping area.. the prim pussy with tintable pubic hair for only L$199! What a DEAL!

If you end up loving GOL so much that you never want to leave, you are in LUCK! With an entire residential area featuring private homes renting for around L$3000/week for between 800-1200 prims, you can truly *live* in GOL and enjoy all they have to offer.

sex and coffee

2007-06-19T16:18:00.000-07:00

I started out my evening by relaxing at the Open Latte Coffee Shop in the sim of Mill Pond and was quickly intrigued by a conversation that was started among a group of people there.

We began discussing sex and Second Life, and opinions on said topic varied from 'it's silly' to others feeling that it's possible to truly find a love online and commit to a monogamous, long-term relationship. I think that's part of what's interesting, so many people with so many different opinions, experiences, and preconceived notions of what sex should or could be in a virtual environment, and what constitutes an 'affair' or 'cheating' online.

The coffee shop discussion today focused around one woman in particular who was sharing her experiences with us. A happily married 30-something in the 'real' world, she'd been involved with someone in SL and had her heart broken. Her online relationship was with a well-known person with many friends, and when the relationship ended, she lost not only her love, but a large number of friends as well, and in a virtual world with over one million residents that log in regularly... she felt alone. After wandering around aimlessly for a bit, she found herself in a roleplaying sim considering work in a sex club there.

This particular woman said that she never felt guilt about her online relationship, and that she never once considered it to be cheating. I know that many people have discussed this and there are a lot of varied opinions on what exactly constitutes 'cheating', and I'm of the firm belief that that's a personal decision and opinion between you and your partner.

This poses a lot of questions not only in the virtual world, but the real world as well. What sorts of things would cause someone who is happily married in RL to become involved with someone online? Is it the relative 'safety' of online communities that allow experimentation without the risk of getting caught? And how, or why, in a world as large as Second Life, would someone feel alone.

What do you think? Let's hear it.

the interview - playboy bunny

2007-06-15T11:09:00.000-07:00

I had my interview today for the 'Playboy Bunny" position, just a few hours ago in fact. It was a very surreal experience, and I was more nervous than I typically am for a job in the 'real' world! It was crazy!

I want to be a Bunny. I WANT IT. Oh my gosh if I don't get this, I will be so disappointed.

Basically they had us submit a resume and then we stood in a poseball looking f'ing cute as hell while they asked us some questions about ourselves and Playboy and what we thought the position meant. Then they told us we'd hear from them if they were interested.

Oh GOD let them be interested.

topic for sexcussion: playboy sim

2007-06-15T07:15:00.000-07:00

The Playboy sim has opened in Second Life. After reading this posting, I must say that my little heart is all aflutter over the small chance that I, Pixel Bailey, might have a shot at being a 'Bunny'. I was hoping that when I heard about this opening there would be a chance to be a ' Bunny' but I honestly pushed that thought from my mind to eliminate any chance of disappointment. But now, oh joyous world, it looks as though this girl might have a chance to live her dream.

If there is a God in this world, I will be a Bunny.

Sexstination #4 - Dark Delights

2007-06-11T17:30:00.000-07:00

This exploration certainly did turn out to be unexpected. After searching for some 'animal' sex areas of Second Life, I ended up at Dark Delights.

This spot of sexual shopping delights offers a little bit of everything, but tends toward the more 'extreme' things that are a bit 'off the beaten path'.

Want to be a centaur and have sex with your partner? This is your spot. Always fantastized about having sex with a great dane? You can buy him here. Does it make you wet to think about being overtaken by a 3-headed dog with glowing, evil eyes? Then grab a towel and head on over to Dark Delights.

If the 'animal' thing isn't quite your thing, there's also an entire area dedicated to 'bathroom' play including a shower, toilet, and sink area. In the 'watersports' area, you can also buy a pee bowl and pee helmet as well.

If you're just not able to find that 'special' someone.. be they with 2 or 4 legs, you can also grab the next best thing here... a real doll.

Sextination # 3 - The Girl's Detention Center

2007-06-08T06:35:00.000-07:00

Last night a friend took me to visit a roleplay area in Second Life called the Girls Detention Center. I'll have to update with some photos when I'm in a position to upload them.

Although it wasn't the most beautiful of builds, I do have to say that it accomplished what I'm fairly sure the intention was. There were several people there that really seemed to be playing the part including teachers and guards. I was a smidge bit confused with the teachers though, because I don't normally think of teachers being in a detention center. Guards yes.. teachers? Not so much.

The detention center had many rooms including a doctor's office, warden's office, auditorium (which was really a gymnasium), pool, a few cells, a shower room, and a couple of 'hey look at all these neat sex poses we have!!' rooms. Which, I must say, did have some pretty fantastic poseball sets that I haven't seen anywhere else.

My only disappointment here is that if you're really trying to get into a role-playing scenario, there are people around that are only more than happy to JUMP IN on the action and kind of spoil the whole fantasy thing you've got going on. (stupid boys)

On a better note, it does seem that 'the regulars' here are more than open to just allowing people to role-play as they wish without rules or interruptions, which is nice.

It's worth checking out, even if you're not into that kind of thing. I'll post some pics and directions when I get a chance.

Sexstination #2 - Sinner's Paradise

2007-05-30T18:24:00.000-07:00

So this week our travels take us to Sinner's Paradise in the sim of Wales.

Sinner's Paradise has a much different feel than the first stop on our travels. It has a much more natural, romantic setting. With many outdoor areas near water and trees, it has a very secluded, peaceful feeling to it.

The main area of the sim consists of a very large, very well done castle with lots of separate rooms including a library where you can play chess if that's what turns you on! There are some BDSM/Gor-type rooms, and a lot of the castle has a very 'dungeon' feel to it even if there isn't a lot of 'dungeon' toys at first glance.

It really is a lovely setting with lots of little hidden areas, so if you're into the 'romance' stuff in your virtual sex life, then Sinner's Paradise is probably a great spot to spend some quality time with that special someone.

Sexstination #1 - Capture Roleplay HQ

2007-05-18T14:26:00.001-07:00

Located in the sim of Silvermoon, the Capture Roleplay HQ is an interesting place to start our explorations.

This sim consists of several mazes that apparently shift, and change so that you never go through the same maze twice. Visitors can choose to display a tag of 'predator' or 'prey' to keep straight who is chasing who here.

There don't appear to be any rules upon entering the area, so you're free to roam around and explore, which is nice. There are several areas where you can choose to receive a notecard explaining how the area works.

There are as I mentioned, 3-D mazes with many dungeon-looking rooms off to the sides, so that 'predators' can conveniently take their 'prey' directly into a room and have their way with them. There are also auctions where you can sell yourself or purchase someone else for your enjoyment. The area also includes classrooms where one can learn the finer points of capture and/or roleplay.

I'm not sure how I feel about this area. Just looking at the 3-D mazes creeped me out a bit - reminded me too much of the old days of playing Quake and being terrorized by people standing near me and saying "I can hear you breathe".

i think i've got it

2007-05-18T14:24:00.000-07:00

So Second Life is so overwhelming and tremendously huge, that I've been having a difficult time deciding what to pursue and focus on. I've got it. Sex.

So, I'll be visiting sex areas in Second Life and reporting on them in my examination of sexuality in virtual environments.

We'll refer to them as Sexstinations.

Slip Slidin' Away

2007-04-06T10:42:00.000-07:00

Last night was another night spent at the Freudian Slip in Second Life with live music from Grace McDunnough and Lyndon Heart.

Grace's music was refreshing and completely enjoyable. She has a really calming, sultry quality to her voice and her song choices were perfect for her. She's a very talented woman. I'm officially a fan.

Lyndon Heart's music was the perfect follow-up to Grace. With a funny spin on the evening, Lyndon's avatar fell victim to a Second Life 'bug' that made him appear much smaller than he normally is, apparently. So, the crowd at the slip spent a lot of time teasing him about it. Made for a very amusing set.

All in all, another lovely evening in Second Life.

Live Music

2007-04-05T06:11:00.000-07:00

Last night in Second Life, after chatting a bit with a friend in the Open Latte coffee shop in the sim of Mill Pond, I went to a live music concert at the Freudian Slip. Maximillion Kleene played first, and then Montian Gilruth finished up the evening.

Max Kleene seems to be a genuinely kind, talented guy. I enjoyed his set very much. Montian also was very talented and sounded wonderful. Both performers sang and played guitar, and it made for a really enjoyable evening.

The Community of Second Life

2007-04-03T07:38:00.000-07:00

Since my first post, I've been spending a lot of time in Second Life meeting new people and attending some events. The live music in Second Life is really amazing, and I've met some wonderful people. I find it interesting that so much is determined about a person by the appearance of your avatar in an environment such as this.
