. . .

 For years, most of twenty, my 'friends,' acquaintances really, have come from three pools: work, Second Life, and people they knew. 

Now, I don't talk to their people. I still have buds from work, but they are not friends outside the office, aside from the occasional team dinner function. That leaves Second Life, the sum total of my social life.

My best friends in SL numbered two, one guy and one bestie girlfriend. Now, she is getting married in SL so their attention and focus is on their S.O. (Completely understandable. Love is Love, after all). Their S.O. doesn't care for me, so, to avoid anything that could ever be construed as conflict, I take the lonely road and slip away when the couple are doing their lovey-dovey thing.

My guy friend is great and I enjoy his company, but there are times that I really need my bestie and now, I don't have her. Despite me needing her support and not feeling that I have it, I would be there for her in a moment, should she call. 

That realization reminds me of how we supported each other before: me with my RL tears and her with SL tears and that makes me miss her even more.

I tried talking this out with my remaining friend, but, I didn't want to put this burden on him. 

Maybe I need to talk to a therapist.

Virtual Sex

Virtual sex has become increasingly popular in the digital age as technology has created new opportunities for people to connect and explore their sexuality in a safe and discreet way. However, it's important to recognize that virtual sex is essentially just mutual masturbation.

When two individuals engage in virtual sex, they are using technology such as video calls, messaging apps, or virtual reality to simulate sexual activity with each other. This can involve flirting, exchanging explicit messages or images, or even using sex toys to enhance the experience.

While virtual sex can be a fun and fulfilling way to explore your desires and connect with others, it's important to remember that it is not the same as physical intimacy. The sensations and emotions that come with face-to-face sexual encounters are simply not possible to replicate through a screen.

That being said, virtual sex can still be a valuable tool for maintaining sexual satisfaction in long-distance relationships, exploring fantasies, or simply spicing things up in the bedroom. As long as both parties are comfortable and consent is clearly communicated, there's no harm in enjoying some virtual fun.

Ultimately, virtual sex is just another form of sexual expression and can be a positive addition to your repertoire. As long as it's done safely and respectfully, there's no shame in indulging in a little virtual pleasure from time to time. 

Skirts or Jeans

When it comes to sexy fashion staples, two items that always come to mind are short skirts and blue jeans. Both of these pieces have the ability to enhance a woman's figure and make her feel confident and alluring. But which one is truly sexier? Let's break it down.

Short skirts are a timeless and classic piece of clothing that have been in style for decades. They are versatile and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Short skirts are great for showing off your legs and can make any outfit look more feminine and playful. The way the fabric flows around the body as you walk can be incredibly sexy and alluring.

On the other hand, blue jeans are a staple in almost every woman's wardrobe. They are comfortable, easy to wear, and can be styled in countless ways. Jeans hug your curves in all the right places and have a certain casual sexiness to them. The way they accentuate your hips and butt can make any woman feel confident and attractive.

When it comes to sexiness, both short skirts and blue jeans have their own unique qualities. Short skirts are flirty and feminine, while blue jeans are more laid back and casual. Ultimately, the sexiness of each piece comes down to personal preference and how you style them. 

In conclusion, both sexy short skirts and sexy blue jeans have their own appeal and can make any woman feel confident and alluring. Whether you prefer the flirty and feminine look of a short skirt or the laid-back sexiness of blue jeans, it's all about rocking your outfit with confidence and attitude. So why choose one when you can rock both and exude confidence in your style choices. Ultimately, the sexiness lies in how you carry yourself and feel in your outfit.

What a girl wants

• Who I am? Show an interest in my life. Ask questions! 
  

• I may say I don't want anything for *insert occasion*, but what I really want is a thoughtful gesture - I’m looking for proof that you care.

• Make the ordinary days special. Don't overthink it.

• Someone who likes my imperfections and embraces their own.  No one is perfect. Accept it.
  

• Someone who is excited to see me and proud to be with me. Do you introduce me to your friends ?

• Someone who is already on their own path. I want to be special in your life, but I'm not looking to be your WHOLE life. I want someone with their own likes, hobbies, goals, and If you aren’t on a road to independent living, grown-up style, that is a problem.

• Someone who gives as much to me as I give to them.

• Do you have commitment issues or are you looking for unattached companionship, or are you are looking for something next level? Let's get on the same page.

• Compliments: I have my own problems accepting them, but be confident enough in me to accept them from me, and confident enough in yourself to give them.

Why no Cam?

A woman who plays in SL as an adult risks her job, her marriage, and her place in society. I'm not going to "verify" so some homophobe living in his mom's basement can put my RL face/voice on the Internet and get me fired for 'moral turpitude', embarrass my friends or my family, get my neighbors to call me a 'skank', or get stalked again.

You want to cam/voice? Send me your latest bank statement, SSN, and a copy of your passport. Let's make the risks equal.

Best Friends

Friends are an incredibly important part of our lives. They are the people we turn to in times of joy and sorrow, the ones we can rely on to lift us up when we are feeling down and to celebrate with us when we achieve our goals. Among all of my friends, my best friends hold a special place in my heart: Meishka, Brain and Skeeve.

My best friends are like family to me. They are the ones who know me better than anyone else, who have seen me at my best and my worst, and who love me, unconditionally. They are the people I can be my true self with, without fear of judgment or rejection. They are the ones who have stood by my side, supporting me through every challenge and cheering me on in every success.

My best friends are my confidantes, my cheerleaders, and my partners in crime. They are the ones I can laugh with until tears stream down my face, the ones I can cry with when life gets tough, and the ones I can count on to always have my back. They are the ones who make every moment brighter, every experience richer, and every memory sweeter.

In short, my best friends mean the world to me. Without them, my life would be duller, quieter, and lonelier. With them, my life is filled with love, laughter, and endless possibilities. I am grateful for their presence in my life, and I cherish every moment that I get to spend with them.

To my best friends, thank you for being you. Thank you for the love, the laughter, the support, and the memories. Thank you for everything you do, for everything you are, and for everything you mean to me. I am so grateful to have you by my side, and I can't imagine my life without you.

[UPDATE]

Skeeve has decided that he no longer wants to be my friend, so I will respect his decision.

Boy Bye!
