Buenos Tarde, senoras y caballeros. Caballos Morrisey aqui.
If you're thinking that I'm spanish, then you clearly have no grasp of Spanish writing and grammar. Nor do I, hence the shocking "Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen. Horses Morrisey here" Spanish sentence.
Anyway, enough Spanish for one post. How about we look deep inside the meaning of Second Life, and how people treat their second lives. Having spoken to several idiots about the subject, I learnt one thing. The best way to make easy money on Second Life is to become a prostitute/gigolo, or escorts as they're more politely called here. Dancers make a bit of money, its like a more involved form of Camping, but the real money is with the prozzies. In RL you'd be hounded out of your village and have effigies of you burnt if you were revealed as a 'lady of the night'. In SL its mostly accepted as okay, especially since it's not real sex. But if it's not real, why will some gentlemen (and ladies) pay around 1,000$L to have it?
I decided to go undercover. No dirty street corners with ladies almost wearing rubber dresses here. It's mostly lag ridden night clubs, with ladies having 'escort' themed tags on and their picture on the wall. I asked around for prices - in an "i'm just interested in how it works" way - and the general figure was between $L800 and $L1,000 for 30 minutes. A few charged more for 'additional extras' like acting out certain themes (nothing illegal) and one wanted an extra $L150 to have anal sex! Mustn't have been a Catholic girl!
I then decided to spice things up a bit. I told a few that I was a SL Lesbian, and wanted to know if they'd have sex with me. Of the 5 I asked only 2 agreed, and on both occasions they put the price up. One quoted $L2,000! The other said $L1,200 (she wanted $L800 for men) but she'd do it for $L800 if a man could watch. I declined both offers.
So what did I learn? Well morals are slightly lower in SL. Inhibitions are much lower (not such a bad thing) and sex is rife. The most amazing thing was that people would pay these prices, when they could get it for free in virtually any bar or nightclub in a mature area. What happened to the art of conversation? Talk to the man or woman, dance, flirt and then try your luck! Lads, for goodness sake, don't walk around naked with a huge hard-on. At best its very pathetic but funny (for the people you're trying to impress) and at worst its crude and nasty. Keep it in your pants!
It's all a bit of fun though, isn't it?
