PORN PICS and BLOGGING

1) PORN: If there’s a place in SL where you can post X-Rated photos, I haven’t found it yet. Of course, we all had our fave web porn sites before RLC came along, and they are still ‘functional’, to be sure.
I’m continually fascinated by the fact that so many people (especially female!) get a kick out of posting lewd photos of themselves in cyberspace, for ANYONE to look at, from the horndog who lives down the street to your white-collar co-workers, and even your boss. Is it a show of defiance that women ARE equal in today’s world, in bed as in all other places? And do women masturbate while gazing at pics of their own bodies? ‘Self-Porn’ probably is a modern form of self-expression, I guess, like tattoos, or body bling. I welcome your thoughts on this, ladies. Guys, on the other hand, usually post dick shots separate from face shots. Maybe it’s just a lack of imagination, or perhaps they just realize that a full length body shot shows how insignificant their little pecker really is, in the grand context of things! Ha ha.

But I wonder if the glut of porn pics in RLC has any direct correlation to the amount of vulgarity present in so many of the meetings and confrontations there? In Second Life, when you meet someone, their sexual proclivites are not as easily evident, except for the physical appearance and dress of their avatars *chuckle*. Yes, Virignia, you CAN act out your ‘Big Boob Fantasy’ in Second Life *wicked grin*. But there are so many NON-sexual places to meet people in Second Life, that you’re never sure if the person you just met is looking for more than friendship. Of course there are tons more sex clubs, locker rooms and dungeons also, where the preliminary discussions can be decidedly more perfunctory lol!

2) BLOGGING: The good news is that there ARE places for blogging in SL. The bad news is that almost nobody reads them *frown*. They generally get about 50,000 people on-line at any given time (versus 1,200 or maybe 2,000 in Red Light Center), yet I posted a blog on SLbuzz (one sight among many where you can ‘blog’), and I received only 40 hits in a week. My Gawd, you can get that many comments, let alone hits, per week on your blogs in Red Light Center! And I know it was a ‘decent’ blog, ‘cause it was one that I published 6 months ago in RLC lol!

Part of the problem is that there is no one place, like the ‘social profiles’ webspot of Red Light Center, to post things. Second Life is so gigantic that many, many correlative websites have sprung up around it. Heck, some are used just to sell clothes and toys for use in Second Life! And part of the problem is that so many Red Light Center blogs are concerned with PROBLEMS encountered in RLC, while there is little ‘need’ for such blogs in Second Life. Another reason is that with the server problems in Red Light Center you have a lot more time on your hands *heh heh*.

And what do I really think? It’s the SIZE of the worlds, luv! In Red Light Center, you are posting for your friends, who (at least in your own mind) make up a fair percentage of the total population; while in Second Life, it seems more like you are trying to publish the New York Times, instead of a small-town weekly newspaper ‘gossip’ column *chuckle*. Now you CAN send a notice to all your friends in Second Life, or all the members of a particular club or social group (or even several of them), BUT you are restricted to 500 words or less *big, big frown*. For crying out loud, that’s not enough time to even say Hello, let alone elicit some humor (humour, across The Pond) and/or some pathos. Why, I would’ve been cut off two paragraphs before this..and some of you are probably wishing I was *big grin, lmao* At least NOW you know why so many of us SLers still return to Red Light Center on a frequent basis to the websight, at least, if not the cyberworld itself we need our daily ‘fix’!
