Second Life Guides

[This week we have a super special treat - our Post 6 Man is Cole DeSantis - a proud figure in Second Life, as photographed by my dear friend - Marilyn Murphy - the photographer/visionary behind Players, SL’s in-world erotica magazine. Cole definately raises the bar on what is possible for the men of SL - as you’ll see below. - the Editrix]

I am Cole DeSantis, and I am a proud man. At the moment, I am proud to be a Post 6 Man. Searching through back issues of the Herald, I see only beautiful and intelligent women, plus the well respected man of Eros, and it is a great honor to join their ranks. I am also proud to know Marilyn Murphy and her friend Jaime Wheeler, who hung out during my photo shoot. Who wouldn’t want to get naked in front of those two beauties?

It has been my […]

HEY HEARTUN ~ I was hanging out in Waterhead the other day and someone invited me to join this group called Hot Lesbo Accountants. Well, I’m not a lesbian.. I’m just a dude. Thing is the person who invited me is a dude too!
So I ask him what the hell is going on and stuff, and one thing leads to another, and he starts in with the claim that he is a ‘transgender lesbian’ — a term I had never heard of before.
What the hell is a ‘transgender lesbian?’ ~ STRAIGHT DUDE

DEAR STRAIGHT DUDE ~ You think furries, goreans, scat lovers and privists face derision by others? Try being a male lesbian or transgender lesbian. The first is a guy who looks like a guy but loves girl-on-girl action — the other believes he is a lesbian trapped in a man’s […]

Fox News political analyst and former AOL VP Kirsten Powers has posted a video blog calling for Democratic Presidential Candidate John Edwards to denounce some of his unseemly second life neighbors, including the “virtual rape fantasy clubs, virtual underage sex brothels and sadly unsurprising proliferation of porn.” Behold the video:

An Excerpt from the blog itself is below the fold:
From Kirsten Powers’ Blog:
“As you will see, the Edwards HQ has some disturbed neighbors. Particularly troubling are the rape fantasy clubs and the child sex brothel called Jailbait (the “owner” of the club, a 35-year- old woman named Emily Semaphore refers it as “age-play.”) The “Second Life Herald” complains that “Intersexed Avatar Children Hard to Find” [I think Kirsten’s irony detectors need adjusting — Uri] and provides this handy graph to explain what kind of virtual child sex the adult members of Second Life are engaging in

And when I went to […]

[Editrix’s note: Gina Vansant lays down the law this week. As always, this week’s Post 6 Grrrl is courtesy of Marilyn Murphy - the photographer/visionary behind Players, SL’s in-world erotica magazine. Based on the evidence presented here, I’m sure there are plenty of residents who would like to be in a privileged relationship with the soon-to-be attorney Gina. ]

What is my favorite thing to do in SL? Well, shopping and partying, of course! That is how Marilyn Murphy and I met. I want to thank the SLHerald and Marilyn for picking me to be Post Sixx Grrrl of the Week.
I love trying out new products and telling friends all about them. I also love working in SL because it gives me a chance to meet new people and have fun. I love SL and all of the friends I’ve made. There are so many amazing […]

With reports that the Dutch prosecutor’s office is seeking a ban on what it sees as child pornography in Second Life, some may wonder if this is primarily Dutch political grandstanding. With no actual crime or abuse case to cite, legislation may prove difficult. The intention now is to bring some cases to court and establish some precendents.
From The Register:
“Virtual child pornography has been a criminal offence in the Netherlands since 2002. However, there is no litigation related to virtual sex with virtual children. Today, at least four political parties in the Netherlands demanded a ban on virtual child porn roleplay“
Significantly, the term “ageplay” is never used, which may indicate that no actual SL residents are involved in this action.
Unfortunately, while many professional opinions on the likely effects of ageplay have been posited, no formal or empirical study has been made to show its effect either way. […]

Possible paedophile school closing
by Curious Rousselot, virtual correspondent
Kitty Nooij of the prosecutor’s office in the Netherlands told told the Dutch news show Netwerk that they would try to bring cases of virtual child pornography to court, according to a story in The Register by Jan Libbenga. According to Libbenga’s article, “Virtual child pornography has been a criminal offense in the Netherlands since 2002.”
The article mentions Sasami Wishbringer, who’s SL business was covered in the SL Herald way back in December 9, 2004. Sesami offers (or did back in 2004) a number of virtual child related services including hentai, a form of Japanese animated porn.
In another, more recent Herald article from January 2007, Emily Semaphore was quoted as saying, “Being able to “play” a kid in a “safe” environment can be very healing for many people.” It appears that some experts may not completely agree with her, at least as […]
