Being another woman in "Second Life"...

This is the Lesson Number 3 :

"If you had several lives, like cats have, would you be a prostitute during one of them ?..."

No need to wait for another life, live two lives in one thanks to virtual worlds !

secondlife (SL) is a virtual community that is built by its almost 1 million residents. There are opportunities for the residents to make money. Becoming an escort is one of the numerous ways to make a fast buck. There are always people willing to pay for sex and interactive pornography, even in the virtual world.

You have to know that virtual prostitutes actually make real cash. Indeed, escorts can earn up to Linden$10,000 a week from a few hours' work - approximately $30 -, although the exchange rate fluctuates. It's not something that a brand-new character would be able to pull off, though; an expensive wardrobe of realistic avatar clothing, skins and animations is an asset, as are gender verification and a location in which to practice. The industry supporting the sale of these items, and arrranging escort encounters, seems more profitable than actual on-the-street work.

Here is a confession of Henig (http://www.slatev.com/), a girl who created an avatar and visited the red-light district inside the online world of Second Life... Not so easy to "penetrate" vice subcultures !

"Sooo, to answer the question, yes, I may be a prostitute if I had time, in virtual life, or in another one, who knows ?..."
