Here's something I've been wanting to do for a long time: start surveying Resis about their Second Life sex lives. Part of it's just the fun of the subject matter :), but I'd also like to learn more about how Second Life sex fits into people's lives, about what the differences are between people's First and Second Life sex lives, and about what kinds of changes virtual sex may cause in us.

The results are not public, and while I'll publish all of the totals and percentages and answers, I won't publish any information about people taking the survey, so your answers will be kept anonymous. I won't even look at the individual information on who answered what myself, instead only looking at the results - I'd make it so that the survey didn't even record who answered what if I could!

I'd love to hear your comments and ideas, and thoughts for future polls. I'll run this survey for a week or two and see what kinds of answers we get. :)

You should probably replace "polygamous" with "polyamorous", otherwise you really have no option for people in relationships with more than one man.

I think you're thinking of "polygynous," hon. "Polygamous" just means "having more than one spouse." :) "Polyamorous" would probably have been the best choice, though, since we're talking more about commitment than marriage.

Ah yes, quite right. I knew it had *something* do with with marriage... :)

POLYAMOROUS
Yes, please... I came down here to the comments to request the very same thing...

For the record. Polygamy is one man, many wives. Polygyny is one woman, many husbands. Polyamory is many loves, be it through marriage, dating or combinations.

Just fyi, I realized that both of my avatars had different answers to some of the questions, so I took it twice.

Wow, interesting poll. I haven't had sex in SL, and probably wont because I have a RL partner, otherwise I'd definately take the poll.

Its kind of complicated for me. I already knew my partner online long before we joined SL, but we didn't actually meet in RL until after.

And "sex with Furries" isn't really that kinky if we both are furries ;)

Well, or you could argue it's *more* kinky. Although when I think of you and Viggo, the word "sweet" comes to mind instead of "kinky."

I answered in terms of SL only, although I've done more elsewhere. (I RL-married a guy I met on another online game!)

Great idea! A lot of questions I've been wondering about many times. I'll definitely come back to see the results!

And btw agree with kherber about sex with furries, being a neko myself.
