Ok so I've been checking out second life and I have to say its pretty cool. You can do anything in it! But shouldn't there be a line? I read this article which talks about the presence of sex in Second Life. I guess this should be expected, since it is a common/basic activity. However, this just seems weird to me. Virtual escort services exist and people are making money off this stuff. I mean come on..........Usually the sex occurs through chatting or even skype, in "private" areas of the game. In case your wondering users can purchase private parts as they don't come default, along with many other props. To me, something is off here. There has already been some legal issues and so far Second Life has prevailed. The creator sees it as a positive, which I can understand, but still. I could see myself doing this in a game as a joke, but not seriously as many seem to be doing...I think this kind of virtual sex is an interesting progression and I wonder how far it will go....How far is too far?

I agree that sex in Second Life sounds a little awkward; however, some people are on this religiously and might not be getting any in real life. Especially with the audience it may be a little too much because any kid could lie about their age and join second life and become exposed to this. To me, it does seem like it would be an extremely hard issue to regulate.
