And since that last post touched on sex, there were a couple of interesting articles on sex in Second Life that I saw this week.

Toothpaste for dinner took the game for a ride, and didn’t much like it.

Warren Ellis sees a lot of sex on Second Life, which he acknowledges isn’t surprising, but gets glossed over.

All the problems of your real life exist in the fictional world. They just take less time, because you get drawn away to do chores in First Life. I can hardly contain my excitement. And then a little part of me says, but didn’t you love Snow Crash?
