There are certain things that Second Life -users like to pressure you into liking and disliking when it comes to Second Life sex.
POSE BALLING vs. ROLE PLAYING (RP)
One of those things is “pose balling” vs. “role-playing.” Now… It’s nobody’s business how you like your SL sex, as long as you have it with people who feel similarly about it.
It is much frowned upon to “be a pose baller” and admirable to be “a role player” or “an emoter,” but to each their own. I’m personally a pose baller myself and prefer highly detailed mesh avatars with people who like to meticulously align the avatar parts to the perfect erotic display – as opposed to people in system avatars getting it on with hardly aligning glitching avatars patching it up with shoddily written scenarios. If I want text, I’ll Google it, right? If looks don’t matter, I’ll join Adult Friend Finder. On Second Life, I get the looks, just not the touch, like a Shania Twain song, but I don’t personally get much into it with a balloon-like system avatar whose ‘agent’ wants me to feel excited about the mere concept of being with a man.
But whatever you’re into is your business. Good emoters do exist; oddly enough, many of them are not English speakers, but as far as I’m concerned, the visuals must be en pointe, regardless of emoting skills.
“I JUST WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE” -thing.
Some men genuinely want to hear a woman’s voice just to make sure she’s actually a female. Then some want to get you to do voice, under that excuse, and then gradually make women perform nude on skype for them. You choose what you think about that.
“I’m SURE YOU’RE A MAN”
Another thing men do, not commonly, tho, insists they know you’re a man, probably in the attempt of making you strip naked in front of a webcam to “prove to them” you’re female. Perhaps best not to fall for that one.
AGE PLAY
There is a good reason why age play (young age -related sexual role play) is forbidden from Second Life COMPLETELY. While everyone here is SUPPOSEDLY an adult, as people under 16 aren’t allowed in at all, and everyone must be 18 or older to enter Adult-rated areas, there shouldn’t be an issue with people pretending to be a bit younger than what you truly are, right? If we’re all real-life adults, what’s the harm?
The harm is this. There is NO real age check when you join. It’s your word. Therefore, it is technically very easy for a minor to join SL and pretend to be an adult. Therefore YOU DON’T KNOW who is playing with you, and a child maybe pretends to be an adult. If you trust everyone is an adult and that a minor avatar is actually an adult playing a convincing role of a minor, you might accidentally become involved with a minor. You can accidentally “play” with a real-life minor, but YOU will be held responsible. So for safety reasons, ALL age play is forbidden across the board. If you have ANY reason to suspect a fellow player might be minor, there is a reporting system for that specific reason, and I suggest you use it immediately. Then, the staff will check that person’s age credentials and take appropriate action.
