Intersexed Avatar Children Hard to Find

Daddy/little girl, mom/daughter are most popular ageplay groups

by Pixeleen Mistral, National Affairs desk

For those who’s Second Life might not be complete without acting out fantasies with hermaphrodite child avatars - the odds do not look good. But an exclusive Herald study suggests that daddy/little girl ageplay is popular among 44% of those who express a preference by joining an ageplay fetish group. Mom/daughter ageplay is in second place with 25%, and daddy/boy places third with nearly 15% of the group members - so perhaps incest is not a major issue in this community.

How would you like to play today?

However, in the study of the Second Life groups, Herald researchers found only about one in a hundred ageplay avatars joined the hermaphrodite/intersexed ageplay group. It is unclear if this is due to poor marketing, asset server problems, lag, or the limited number of groups Second Life citizens can join.

Numbers
Ageplay preferences by the numbers

The study employed a rigorous methodology - scientists looked up “ageplay” in the group search tool, then read the group charters and categorized each group into either general ageplay, or fetish-specific ageplay, and compared the relative popularity of the fetish-specific groups. With around 1200 members, the fetish-oriented ageplayers easily outnumber the roughly 700 members of the more general ageplay groups.

Researchers point out that the actual number of adults who wish to have sex with act like children in Second Life is likely to be higher than the number of members in these groups.

"The study employed a rigorous methodology - scientists"

What a crack joke, who need a scientist for that?

Is math and counting too hard for you, Pixeleen? ...geez

Shelley

These sorts of stories are sickening. Why legitimize such practices by taking them (even mock) seriously?

Simulated pedophilia is not a joke.

Seola Sassoon

Nacon, I think Pix's statement was tongue in cheek.

OMG

Slow news day? Just trying to jab your readers with a stick? This whole article seems... I don't know... arbitrary.

marilyn murphy

golly, ya know in "pretty woman" when he flies her to the opera on a private jet?
i just love that part.

Prokofy Neva

This is a hilarious parody of Linden stats about population. Hilarious! Good work.

Seola Sassoon

I like the shiny graphics for the pie. I stare at them often.

Frederic Prevost

I always love sceintific analysis!!!! As above stated, The pie chart gives at a glaace profile of the subject, adding to the legitimacy of the Herald, dont you agree?
Great job!

Damn, I wish I have thought of this.(I wasted my business analysis skills to stupid stuff like planning a SL business...)

*exclaims with fake cheesy queen English*

Bloody brilliant!!!

Urizenus

Nothing says science like a pie chart. Great story for spirituality week too. Rock on, Pix!

weedy puss

Hey! Maybe y'all should get Hamlet and his cadre of top flight numbers analsis perfeshunals [little rikky and nino] to validate your findings...they have loads of graphs and pie charts too on all sorts of innersting sl stuff..they get in the media and everything coz they are exspurts on it all. Like, just recently, you know, they did this similar study on something with charts and everything too...it looked real neat. I think they even used search just like you, and analised it like you too! Even Torly, the sooperdooperfriendly watermelon head, was into it after giving it a thorough analsis! Yowzers! Your graphs look cooler tho, and you got decimals points!

Urizenus

Right you are weedy. Decimal points make all the difference. Hamlet's minions need to sharpen their pencils if they want to be real scientists like the Herald brain trust.

Dave

is this not illegal?
and sick?
I hope someone sees this that is involved in child porn and closes down SL for this, or at least fines them.
Disguesting stuff
what next the best animal avi's guys like to have sex with

Petey

@Dave:

You're way behind on that curve, I already covered that and the answer is quite clearly horsefuck.

@Pix:

I laughed.

Parsifal

I often wonder who obsesses more about SL kinks. Is it the people who take part in them, or those Mrs. Kravitz's who cant STFU about it?

Wait.. no answer necessary.

This is not directed at Pixeleen... I "get it". It is directed at the folks who become unhinged at the mere thought of adults acting out fantasies in virtual space.

LaBlanc

I can't believe people allow themselves to get so hung up on the fact that many SLers get off on child rape.

Angel

> what next the best animal avi's guys like to have sex with

Oh yes please, intersepecies (Human/Furry) sex is the bomb. If you haven't tried it Urizenus you should!

A run down of the hottest interspecies couples would be so great. Not... enough... Yiffing!

Urizenus

That was Dave's question, not mine, Angel, but yes we need more yiffing stories no doubt.

Shelley

I get hung up alright, hung up on the way in which virtual pedophilia is being 'normalized' by sites like this, and in SL in general.

Sure it's a joke. But not a very intelligent one. How about showing a little integrity?

Oh sorry I forgot this paper is yet another kooky SL site that likes to reinforce the perception that SL is only frequented by nutjobs and perverted fucks.

weedy puss

Hey, I resemble dat remark Smelly!

NigrasOnMyLawn

Urizenus you fucking done it now

TimB

So Uri, tell me....which scenario would you prefer? A virtual world, where access is restricted to 18+, which allows fucked up guys to get sticky fingers courtesy of equally fucked up girls pretending to be younger than they are (or better still, other fucked up guys pretending to be fucked up girls pretending to be younger than they are)? Or the real world, with real children, at real risk?

Ageplay is not pedophilia - it's an adults only world, and anything that happens there is between consenting adults, living out a lifestyle that they can't do in the real world, whether that be through physical limitations (when you're older, you don't get to be a kid any more. And come on, how many female avi's actually have someone with real, honest breasts behind them?), legal/social limitations, or just because they only want to indulge in that lifestyle part time.

Isn't that the very essence of SL?

udontknowme

Oh puke, this is just nasty.

geesta bond

cool

hannah

nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Binxy

Wow How Old Is This info
Must Be Pritty Old Cuz Theres Rules Against Ageplay on sl
I Know Cuz Im A Sl Kid Myself xP

kiddo

Ageplay restrictions is just stupid. I am age verified consenting adult and one persons statement here was fine until he said "And come on, how many female avi's actually have someone with real, honest breasts behind them?), then he blew it. I am a female that has a child avatar and I play with it as a consenting adult with another consenting adult. We bring money into SL we pay for memberships and we bring an income to vendors and what we do as adults in the privacy of our SL home is our business!
