I am most certain that Second Life is fantastic for many people. But I have to back-up Mel's discoveries because I also experienced them for myself. There is XXX sex there,bondage,torture,origies,and alot of very dirty talk. I saw it, I heard it,and I may have some problems but my eyes and ears work fine.
I cannot say it didn't happen when it did. I am sure there is plenty of G rated areas there too,as I saw those first. And probably more good bits that I have yet to discover.There are also plenty of XXX rated areas and eventually you may end up there if you follow someone or teleport
I joined for free,never provididng my credit card details. All I had to do was type in by date of birth showing I am over 18,and the the rest is carte blanche. Realistically a 14 year old,can join with a false date of birth.
But I am sure if you type in that you were 14, there would probably be limited access to some area.
But because a person can register many times as different characters too,I think it would be naive to think that teeagers are not findind there way to the XXX rooms. There's many parts of the sight that are "Highly Pornographic", no different than any other sort of porn.
If you enjoy Second Life (for whatever reason),more power to you, & that's your business and perogative. It's not my place to offer moral judgments on what adult people should and should not do. I am positive I haven't even experienced the other 95% of what the sight offers.I am certain that SL offers all you say it offers. But the fact remains it's also has plenty hardcore sex,slaves,bondage and the like.
My ONLY concern was that children (teenagers) would end up in those rooms.
Bobbi, I also do not beleive I said nor implied that all SL members have orgies & sex on SL because they can't get any in real life. If someone else said that, than I can understand how it would be upsetting. But there was nothing in my post about that.
I've merely expressed what my concern was, you don't have to agree with me, but you should allow me the opprotunity to also have an opinion.
Some people like coffee, I prefer tea.. Neither is wrong but!
