    As someone who makes an actual (meager) living off helping fuel SL’s continued sexual content, that’s one thing that every virtual world ever since has flopped on. They wanna be family and advertiser friendly. People don’t want to be though. Sex sells, better than anything else does.

      Can I ask what you do to make that living? An ex of mine spent some time in SL a few years ago so I got to experience some of it mostly second hand. Such a fascinating place.
