And I’ve learned a new word: SLex. *giggles*

Well to be honest, I was surprised, I mean yea I made it up, but it seemed like a natural work to describe Second Life sex.

My view of sex in SL is that is sits somewhere between phone/video chat sex and what I call cyber, sex by IM or text chat. The reason for this is that there is a visual component to SL sex, that can be very good, if you have good skin and poseballs. Some of the sexual action can be duplicated in the SL viewer, and even sounds can be used. But in the end the only way to really to get any physical enjoyment from it, is that one person has to be the one on the receiving end and the other has to talk or emote the other through it. It is very hard to try and physically stimulate yourself to orgasm and type at the same time. If you don’t believe me go ahead and try it, go on…I will be here when you get done…

<examines his nails, thinks need to get a manicure…wonder who I can IM while the reader is off playing with themselves?>

Oh..back already? OK, so now you see what I mean…. it kind of breaks the mood to try and type and enjoy yourself. During our SL Bloggers get together, we talked about sex in SL, and the general consensus was the same from most everyone. So I feel that SLex is an appropriate word for Second Life sex, it is between cyber and phone, but still different from either. One thing I am looking forward to is voice in SL, this will bring SLex up closer to phone sex, in that both partners and use voice to emote to the other and still have their hands free for other things.

But hey thats just my $0.02…..
