safety in numbers

SL is such a great arena to get cyber-sexed in, and it's tempting to reap the benefits. Only please be honest about your motives! Squashy's aren't always the best but i guarantee they're open and they're out there. We don't conceal what we’re looking for; we don't disguise what we’re hoping to get. Likewise, we expect you to tell us what you're expecting from US. At the outset is preferable. Oh, it can hang in the air for a while, just until the mist clears, but don't deliberately obfuscate the issue. And don't paint a patina of altruism or even friendship where none exists. If all you're looking for is a quick "bunk up", then SAY SO. At least have the decency to give us the choice of whether or not we want that!

We've all heard about the partnered avie who uses an alt to slip around unobserved in order to have adulterous sex (Is it adultery if you're SL partnered? I assume it is). That's clearly dishonest. But there are other, more subtle forms of concealment. A bit like spraying a maggotty old windfall with laquer and calling it edible. It's still rotten on the inside!

It's funny, isn't it, how you can look at someone's av, observe them day after day and have completely the wrong idea about them. Eg, oh, there's that bloke again. The one who never has anyone to dance with. Must be a non-English speaker. Wrong and wrong.

Let's call this chap Slinky. It's close enough to his real SL name and appropriate to my purpose.

Now picture Squashy at the naturist resort, all cute and nakie and alone, whilst i busy myself moving stuff around in her shambles of an inventory. We are both thus occupied when there's an incoming message:

"Lovely avie... great profile etc, etc."

Nothing unusual about that. Some desultory conversation ensues, concluding, typically, with a complaint about the lag. This leads, as comments about lag invariably do, to Slinky asking us to "go somewhere" with him. Well we know a line when we hear one, and that old chestnut about "lag" is as old as the Grid itself. That said, we've nothing else to do and he has a private island, he says, with dance balls.

We arrive at his island which is an entire sim, possibly more. His home contains several sex beds and is large enough to house a small commune. There's a pool and a dance area and pink and blue poseballs littered about the entire island. I am impressed.

Conversation isn't great (he's not gifted in that department) so i take the opportunity to check out his groups. I notice something called "Slinky's Angels" and a warning bell tinkles in back of my brain.

"What's that group? What's it for? And who are all those women?!"

Slinky duly informs us that the group comprises 37 women from 14 different countries. They all live with him in a merry little arrangement that apparently suits all. It's a ménage á thirty-eight! Oh, well. Whatever floats the collective boat, i suppose. *Shrug*. But then it gets surreal. The island, he claims, is a SANCTUARY for these poor, beleaguered women. Slinky goes on to say that no men are allowed on the island, not even to set foot on it.

"What, no men at all?" squeaks squashy. Well, none except Slinky. It's *his* island, after all. It bears his name and everything.

"Ewwwwww", comments squashy, with that tell-tale wrinkle of the nose. I clamp my hand over her mouth and hiss at her to STFU.

But here's the thing: ALL his women are bi-sexual!

Well, that rules YOU out, i say to Squashy, giving her a quick poke. "Not necessarily", she retorts, flashing her pert little buns before running off to ensnare a new toy.

And i'm left contemplating, just how slinky is Slinky?! He's really thought this one out, hasn't he? How else to ensure an endless source of girl-on-girl action whilst getting a little something for yourself at the same time? According to Slinky, ALL 37 women have sex with him of their own volition and ALL are "hot in the sack".

I posit that some are, in fact, men. According to Slinky, this cannot be, because ALL are voice verified. What? Even the 2 week old newbs? He has a fair number of those. I wonder where he picks them up! Does he hang around in noob areas offering "sanctuary"? How revolting.

Slinky then asks which viewer i'm using and i tell him, "2.00". He points out helpfully, that, had i been using Emerald i could've cam'd to the other side of the island and observed "3 women getting it on". I unhinge a jaw-cracking yawn, make my excuses and leave.

So there you have it: How to acquire your own, personal harem. Simply purchase an island, fill it with pose-balls, call it a sanctuary for bi-sexual women and ban the entire male population from ever setting foot on it. It's your own place, you've paid for it, you can do what the heck you like with it. And if you want to be supa-generous and give the homeless, bi-sexual women of SL a place to live, it's entirely up to you, isn't it?

I don't know any of the women in his group, but i REALLY hope they're laughing their asses off at his expense. And who can say how often he actually gets "teh sex"? I only have *his* word for that and i already call BS on his worthy little enterprise.

"Sanctuary" my pixellated arse.
