There might also be the talk of real-life encounters with such a person, and they might present a photo that is not really of them. There is a good chance it is controlled by a real-life male, and they can and will manipulate others for money, gifts, and control. My best advice is to be wary of who might be behind a female avatar. Everything turns into sex at any moment, and it is as if people can't last 2 minutes without it. Second Life is very driven towards adult content and it is very tiring when you want nothing to do with it. Unsolicited contact is also very common whether it be friend requests from random people who aren't on the same sim or IMs from people wanting things relating to sexual content. Rape is a problem on here too, and I am not sure if it is taken as seriously as it should. Sometimes, if you refuse someone trying to attract you, they can turn abusive in a heartbeat. Sexual harassment is commonplace no matter what you are doing or where you are. I have come across conspiracy theorists trying to groom people into their warped views of the world, and more so lately with covid-19. Creating anything your imagination allows Negatives - There are a lot of toxic people on Second Life whether they be trolls/ griefers, politically poisonous, racist, homophobic, xenophobic. Learn languages - Learn new skills like graphic design, fashion, broadcasting, retail. Positives - Meet great people and if they are the right people, you could make new friends for life. This had included media corporations and colleges and universities. In its early years, it became a safe haven for sexual predators, and this drove many businesses away from the platform and they never returned.

I strongly advise against playing SL, especially spending any money. Apparently, I cannot have my fetishes, my own desires which were 100% consenting between 2 adults RL. They are thieves who play the "morality" game, but have no issue taking money that belonged to me. I filed a dispute on paypal to get refunded for the premium membership thing.A partial refund for the remaining 11 months I was entitled to. I tried to have a civilized conversation with them, but they refused to be cooperative all the while stealing my money. They terminated me without any warning, stole my lindens(close to 20 000L), and my money from premium membership. I am very childlike in personality but I am 39 years old RL! I made that clear on my 1st tab rl info there. I decided to go premium 3 weeks ago, and all of the sudden I get banned(yesterday). I was on it 12 years.It used to be wonderful. It does not store any personal data.For your sanity and wallet, do not play SL.
