Second Life Escorts - the real industry behind Second Life

It is quite interesting to read articles from english (= US based) newspapers and magazines and how German magazines describe Second Life. The interesting difference is: Sex. Or the absence when talking about it.

Most american articles rarely mention that there is something in Second Life which has to do with Sex whereas the German articles most correctly state that there is also a lot of sex involved. Cheap sex to be precise.

If you look for most articles, SL is great because of the people, the land rentals and sales, some selling of goods and of course now the big companies coming into the game.

When in reality it is all about sex. gaming and clothes / enhancements for sex. The land rentals are only there to provide space and place for this and I would consider the sales for items non sex related to be rather small. *g*

Of course, that is not everthing, but seriously - I have never met so many cheap "escorts" as in there. Did I say cheap? When talking about prices for sex in Second life there are things you have to seperate.

There is the equipment necessary to 'perform' - I once wanted to buy a bed which was supposed to cost an outragous amount of money which I could not understand until I saw the poseballs ... Then, you have to dress up for your occassions but those prices are very cheap given the work involved for the artist. All of this has pricing which is in game levels - cheap but okay, these are items which are sold and resold.

If you want to go shopping a bit - use SLExchange to explore a bit of the real world out there in Second Life in the uncensored part of the boutique. ;)

[If you wanna buy something there, refer me with Nixande Teazle. And no, afaik they do not show what you buy they just will give me a commision] ;)

But there is one ressource which is sold ridicoulusly cheap. Second Life Escorts! If you want to buy sex as in 'see' someting and get some action as text? You can call a telephone sex hotline and get poor, or you swing over to one of the SL escort services - where the 'expensive' ones will cost you about 7 dollars an hour - 10 if you include tipping.

Remember that 1000 L$ is roughly 3-4 dollars and take a look around here. You get more working at McDonalds!

If you dig a bit deeper into the profiles of some of the Escorts you will notice that they also expand their services towards telephone - sorry skype sex. (You will also notice that the available few male escorts have even lower prices).

Nothing against a healthy industry but girls (and the boys in disguise) - at least take a fee which is worth your time! :o)

  2. i completely disagree there are a lot of people that sign up for second life just not for sexual purposes! there are a lot of places that has sex or sell sexual things but its not like that there are many other things to do than just become a hooker or “escort” and you make second life to seem like a sexual playground which it is not!

  3. Every major university has a campus on SL. So do major corporations. Yes sex is there but you have to look for it. Most people never see it except by accident.

About

female. european. geek.

About Nicole Simon I love working with people and help them get successful, especially through the use of social software. Though I have been on the net for over a decade and have consulted SMB for years, I also understand the corporate side, as I have worked in a major corporation for 15 years.

If you need a name for what I do, I usually call myself a European New Media Specialist with a special interest in blogging, podcasting and second life. I also love to 'testdrive' products / concepts which is best described as Technology Implementation Analyst.

You can read more about me on my Xing profile or contact me for more information.

When I do interviews (mainly pre conference podcasts I put them up here: Bloxpert so I can seperate blog / podcast talk a bit more from the stuff here.

Useful Sounds is my personal podcast, and I also have a German blog. Living in Lübeck, Germany, a European point of view comes with everything.



Why ctbk? Smooth-tongued responses are for the timid ones, and if there are no challenges, there is nothing to gain either. :)
