THE Pixel Gender

After straying from my regular topics, over the past few months, I have decided that my first post of 2013, would bring me back to the original idea of this blog, namely sex.

It has always been  my interest and goal for this blog, to be a faithful reflection of my coming and goings in SL and my experiences with sex and other individuals, but when you are married, no matter how inventive you try to be, your experiences -at least on the sexual plane- are still somewhat limited to your partner and what he/she decides to indulge in with you.

This being said, I will do the Carrie Bradshaw thing today -the columnist from the "Sex and the City" show-, and tell you about an issue one of my friends is having in SL, when it comes to gender orientation. My friend, who we will refer to as "F" -for friend-, has found himself semi-involved with a man in SL who does not have a penis, but in fact a vagina.

He admits that the first few times they got involved he was curious and the reason he kept on doing it again with this person, is because it was simply, pleasurable and different, but the more he has done it with him, the more complex it has become and F is now in fact very confused about his sexual orientation -which up to this point he'd consider as exclusively gay-; coming to me for advice -poor him-, I pointed out that the WHOLE SL experience is so varied and open for experimentation, that one should not base what we do on it, as a faithful reflection of our RL selves.

A friend of mine compared SL to Narnia the other day on a FB post, and on this I have to agree, SL is this magical world, where we are all we can't be in RL, we do all we wish to with little, if any consecuences and at the end of the day, we leave "Narnia" only to find that very little has changed about us, this also applies to sex.

I know many people who do furry sex, have sex with horses, dogs and even those who enjoy being submissive to the point where they are treated as objects whilst in the platform, and this does not necessarily mean that there is something wrong with you, a need is simply being fulfilled, IT is there and SL being so immersive, allows you to experience it in the safest way possible, without any VD or harmful after effects.

So when it comes to SL, and romantic relationships in there, there are some I like to refer as the "Pixel Gender", a whole new category of people, who are not really men, nor women and have succeeded in finding happiness whilst being their true selves, at least when they are logged in.

That pussy doesn't spurt

Oh the joy of double standards... I just love that concept of do as I say but not as I do. Yes, it's about that time of the year where I go back once more to covering the topic of our dearest gay Mafia, none others than my friends at Spurts.

A few months back, I was forced to cover this very topic in a couple of articles that hit me on a personal level for many varied reasons, being now the father of 3 young adults who have chosen not to be huge and massive or over compensate in sizes to fit any standards, I felt I had grounds to speak out on behalf of all of those out there in SL who refuse to jump through the hoop of "adult sizes" being over 9 feet tall, while being discriminated or worse, segregated or openly accused of engaging age play, just because they are not overly muscular. -both articles can be found here: The growth Spurt & The Invisible Sizes-

Apparently, my good friends at Spurts -and I speak from my own personal experience and based on testimonials from other users, I am surely not making this up-, only apply their rules to those of their choosing -basically, depends on who you are friends with and so on. I've always thought that them and people doing such things in SL -and most importantly in the Gay community, which gets discriminated, bullied, segregated and rejected still to this day- are just wrong and ought to be stopped.

Now, what brings me back to this mini-mafia on a power trip -and get a grip guys, SL power only gets you so far-is the fact that they have now moved on from discriminating sizes while accusing innocent short adult avatars of being perverts -or worse, children- to gender discrimination. I truly don't mind gay sims being exclusive for men, there are also such places in RL and people don't seem to mind at all, what rubs me off the wrong way is that, if you are friends with the right people or have the right "name" you get to stay and rules are bent.

My father had a name for people like the ones running this sim, and many others out there creating a set of rules that only applied to those of their choosing and that is "Nepotism"

If you are going to have rules, make them general or don't have them at all, no one should be above the rules, they have been created for a reason and if they're broken by the masses fueling your traffic and paying for your sim tier with their business, don't come complaining when they break them, as you simply have no moral ground to stand on.
