It’s my first day on Secondlife and everything is pretty confusing. I’m also very frustrated because I can figure out how to get my avatar to look how I want her to look. My avatar started off very plain looking but I got another user “Nylon Pinkney” sent me some pretty cool clothes. After getting my avatar to look for I want it I decided to search for a pretty cool place to hang out and talk to other avatars.
On Secondlife you can pull up these little maps that show you where there are a lot of other avatars, and most of the other avatars are on the “mature” locations, so since I had to write a journal about sexuality I decided to check out one of these “mature” locations. I teleported myself to the Sexy Islands to see if Secondlife is a scandalous as everyone says it is.
When I got to the Sexy Islands I notice there is a nude beach and a lot of the other avatars are hanging out around the beach. I also noticed that there are these little magenta and blue bubble or balls everywhere that have different things written on them, like cuddle, and kiss and sit down, and some of the have pretty explicit sexual poses. On the beach there was like a huge crowd gathered around two avatars and they were engaged in sexual acts on the beach. It was really weird to see that because I just cant possible see how people get any kind of sexual satisfaction from seeing virtual people having sex. Every different world or location I went to that night had some kind of sexually explicit thing, may it be some kind of dance mover, to a make out session you can engage in with another avatar, to different kama sutra-esque sexual position you can perform with an avatar. I think people get on Secondlife to fulfill their sexual fantasies.
Secondlife is so sexual almost everything on it revolves around sex. People make their avatars look as attractive as they can. I have not seen one over weight or ugly avatar. Secondlife is definitely a sexual outlet for most people that can’t engage in these fantasies in the real world.

I completely agree with you, Second Life is so sexual and also very confusing. I also couldn't figure out how to get my avatar to look the way I wanted and a girl sent me clothes. Every outfit she sent me was so skimpy but I had to make my avatar wear one of the outfits because I really don't know how to change it back. Also the girl's avatar was dressed like a hooker, she was very nice though! She also sent me a lot of places to teleport to most of which were sexual. She sent me a store that said freebies so I went there and the pictures on the wall were all of girls like bending over with skirts on. She sent me a lot of nude beaches. Another guy kept asking me to join his "sex club" even though I repeatedly said no. Second life is a little scandalous and I definately agree that is a sexual outlet for people.
