On the other hand, on the day one first signs up for SL, one might not know that yet, and so using "which ass do I prefer to stare at" as a reason for choosing a particular avatar might make more sense in that context. |
Among all my straight male friends playing female avatars in MMOs only one of them doesn't have that motive, they want to stare at something pretty. Since most MMO cameras can swing around it's not just the butt, but(t) everything (face, boobs, etc).
In
SL one strong motivation for males playing females is creating the idealized partner.
Sexually men are more visually stimulated than women. That means that men are more likely to split among making their idealized selves or idealized partner whereas women are more likely to focus on idealized self.
