This is leading to the biggest noob questions of all. I've wanted to ask these for a while, but I didn't want to look like a complete idiot. Now that I have passed that point
, I guess I will ask.
How much of
SL activity is sex-based? Are most people who look like animals making their avatars for animal-based sex? Do a lot of people use
SL simply to cyber? And is most of the stuff at Grendel's Children for sexual use? [
ETA: CRAP! I am taking out part of this for reasons that I tried to explain and then realized I was causing the same problem. So some of this will make less sense than before. 
I didn't think about this earlier. Crap!] I also had a club owner who was SO nice, but when I think back on our conversation I wonder if he was wanting to start some sort of cyber relationship. I have the same questions about a guy a met at a class even though I made it clear to him - I thought - that cybering or an online relationship is not something I want.
I don't care at all what two or more adults - in whatever shape or species - say/do to/with/on each other. But it is not something I"m interested in. I have been painfully naive online in the past and ended up in some stupid messes. I would like not be such an incredible idiot in
SL, although it may be inevitable.
I am not very worldly in many ways I know and often very literal and earnest in text conversations. And while I know about some of these practices, I often am naive about the intentions of people and how to interpret what they say. IRL it is much easier, with eye contact and body language. Online, I think I miss something.
Aside from the questions above, has anyone else had this problem? Or suggestions about not getting into these awkward situations?
