Forced gender on entry to InWorldz



InWorldz is a spin off of Second Life. And when you enter InWorldz you are literally presented with the option to get male or female features right away. A helper even told me I was entering the women's store though I have a male name. I got an IM with told me in a friendly way I was in the "wrong" store.

How to Kiss in Second Life



Me and my ALT want to kiss in Second Life. First we need to find a matching pair of kiss balls. You can buy them to use on your own land or in a sandbox but many places have nice ones all over the place. And yes the "female" ball is pink and the "male" is blue.

So I have my Alt look to the ball and click the pink one.




It can be pretty clumsy so it is better to have one partner click the kiss ball first. Then the other one can.

And you get a kiss. This same technology works for dancing and even sex. The animations have gotten very good. But it still is all in imagination.

Does the word "gay" mean anything in virtual worlds?



Lesbians enyoying themselves?
A guy acting like a girl having sex with a woman?
Two guys having sex in female "bodies"?

Sexual orientation becomes strange in a world where people can swap bodies at a click of a button.

Radical Female form in Second Life



Even in the most inhuman of forms you see in SL, gender identities are often not only preserved but also enhanced.
