I, also, installed SL and tried to play but could not figure it out.
A few months later, I tried again.
I hated it.
It was a challange.
I tried one more time before I uninstalled it.
I found the College of Scripting, Music and Science and the Ivory Tower of Prims.
I learned how to use the controls, there and how to script and build.
It was free.
It didn't cost anything.
If you really want to look good, you have to pay and buy stuff that people make, like better skin and clothes.
You can also buy a house or store for your business, etc.
While looking around, I was able to make a few friends who helped me and it was easy to find the sex rooms, how to jump on the poseballs to fuck,
(guys, just ask someone for a free cock before you try to have this
...cyber-sex-on-steroids)
giggles.
I just used search and typed "sex" "orgy" "BDSM" "femDom", etc.
I learned more about BDSM than I ever wanted to know, I guess, and I am always learning more.
There are even BDSM groups which are dedicated to voice sex where people cum as the group listens.
That's fun.
We all sit around eating popcorn or whatever.
There is a whole BDSM community and if you don't spend too much time there, you can basically avoid drama.
Speaking of being warned
*winks*
I've never tried Gor in SL,
Nobody has had good experiences with Gor in SL that I know of.
Women, mostly, seem to have had bad experiences with Gor in there.
I didn't read the books, so, I've just not gone there.
I haven't missed it.
Anyhow, I work from home on my computer so I can leave SL running and play a little here and there or just listen when I am working.
It's been a few years and I still have lots of fun in SL,
surfing, skiing, boating, race car driving, clubbing, amusement park rides, skydiving, etc.
You can get paid for dancing all night,
(but stripping and escorting both pay much more, of course)
Flying becomes second nature.
My favorite thing about SL is the live music. A performer sings into a mic at home and their avitar is on the stage in real time, live. It's kinda cool.
Fun to listen to when I am busy doing other things at home in real life.
At this point, I make some real money in sl,
(!! yes, I mean, I make money there!!)
since I learned how to script and build, oh, and design clothing.
I employ 16 other avitars but not always the same ones 24/7.
I have a slaves, from each corner of the world.
And a nice "family" group of close friends.
The BDSM toys are endless, proving that creativity is alive and well.
However, God has the best graphics, in my opinion.
I'd rather go outside and play in real life.
I've always been an outdoor kid.
So, for me, it's more fun in the winter when it's too cold to enjoy the outdoors as much and when tv gets boring.
I have a great first life but SL is fun, and only in doses.
